Keyshia Cole Will Have Your Baby

2008-12-24T02:09:00.001-08:00

According to BET, Keyshia Cole is ready to start a family.

It truly must be a Christmas miracle for my dude Phella of the Firm. Make sure to poke some holes in those Gold Ones next time you're in Oakland, Phella. This one's for all the Pringles.

While at a press conference in Iraq, an Iraqi reporter got all brawlick on Dubya and threw his shoes at him mid sentence. In Arab culture, throwing your shoes at someone is the ultimate sign of disrespect.

I'm sure that in ANY culture throwing your shoes at someone is considered a sign of disrespect but leave it to those funny Iraqis to make it a worldwide phenomenon.

One for the Ages

2008-12-12T23:13:00.001-08:00

Celebrated the 26th this week.

I say week cuz I don't give a $#!+ that there's a recession, a birthday's always last a week off top.

So anyways I celebrated my 26th on the surprise tip orchestrated by none other than my lovely Anjelica. She somehow managed to hack my matrix and get a "You Bet Your Life" cast of characters that I know and love! :-)

Shout to Anjelica :), Sickamore, Candy, Bev, Josh, Slim, Jason, Vlad & all my Friends & Firmilia for all the BDay love, drinks, & calls...& drinks. While I was completly torn back, I couldn't help but be excited for 09'. 26 is the age you get to do what didn't get done on your gigantic checklist when you brokedown and had a quarter-life crisis at 25.

One Sunset, Les Deux (the moset overarated club in he universe) and The Classic Fallback Spot Geisha House. It was one for the books...A pleasure to party in grand style with my closest friends!!!

THIS is Classic Material

Seventh graders from Ron Clark Academy perform their “Whatever You Like” by T.I. parody at the Coca-Cola Leadership Summit in Atlanta, Georgia.

Lyrics:

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

(McCain supporters)
McCain’s the best candidate
With Palin as his running mate
They’ll fight for gun rights, pro life,
The conservative right
Our future is bright
Better economy in site
And all the world will feel our military might

(Obama supporters)
But McCain and Bush are real close right
They vote alike and keep it tight
Obama’s new, he’s younger too
The Middle Class he will help you
He’ll bring a change, he’s got the brains
McCain and Bush are just the same
You are to blame, Iraq’s a shame
Four more years would be insane

Lower your Taxes - you know Obama Won’t
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS - You know McCain won’t!
Have enough experience - you know that they don’t
STOP GLOBAL WARMING - you know that you won’t

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA
Stick with McCain and you’re going to have some drama
We need it
HE’LL BRING IT
He’ll be it
YOU’LL SEE IT
We’ll do it
GET TO IT
Let’s move it
DO IT!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

I’m talking big pipe lines, and low gas prices
Below $2.00 that would be nice

But to do it right we gotta start today
Finding renewable ways that are here to stay

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA,
Stick wit McCain you gone have some drama
MORE WAR IN IRAQ
Iran he will attack
CAN’T BRING OUR TROOPS BACK
We gotta vote Barack!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

McCain Chokes, Tries to gab Obama's Ass

2008-10-16T15:28:00.000-07:00

Pharrell Williams said it best:

Spaz if you want to

Judging by this photo, John McCain must have pumped the N*E*R*D* banger before the third and final Presidential Debates.

After traversing the political canvas of the economy, William Ayers, ACORN, abortion and McBigot rally supporters, The 2 candidates walked away with a sense of accomplishment.

Obama walked away as the clearer, more eloquent and level-headed candidate, while McCain walked away like a malfunctioning andriod after he accomplished doing his his best not to jump out of his own skin in an angry fit of rage.

At any rate, this is far from over. There are still 3 more weeks left to til the election.

Remeber, Gore lost his 11 point national lead to Bush in 2000 in New Hampshire.

Need I say more?

Politricks • James T. Harris Loses It

2008-10-15T15:33:00.000-07:00

James T. Harris, unrepentant "CONSERVATIVE", (make sure you call him that and not "uncle-tom-sell-out"--he hates that) walks off the set of CNN during an interview after trying to defend himself for his support of John McCain after this:

CNN was fair by having another fellow Republican AND Conservative pundit who supports Obama come one and challenge Harris' view of what being a Black "Conservative" is:

I thought CNN was rather fair, and Harris just goes into a Bill O'Reilly tantrum like a little child, complete with name-calling.

SMMFH...why do these conservative talk radio guys always want to avoid the truth? This guy doesn't realize he is a gimmick and wouldn't even have a show if he wasn't black.

The more blogs I read, the more I seem to lean toward WordPress as the new home for Mogul Steeze. Blogger is great, but the more I get into web design, the more I want to have more control over all the aspects of this blog.

+ wordpress blogs seem more complete with a better browsing experience and have more options.

- there is a much steeper learning curve to coding.

What do you prefer?

Mrs Mogul • Halle Berry=Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive

2008-10-07T16:21:00.001-07:00

In this modern world run by the Rich and Famous, I've had my fair share of Haterade splashings for my affinity for the classics. Art, Music, Literature, and at times, yes, even Women.

On Winning
Well, I don’t know exactly what it means, but being forty-two and having just had a baby, I think I’ll take it. There are billions of women on the planet, but let’s just say for shits and giggles that I am the sexiest woman alive.

On Sexiness
Sexiness is also about knowing what’s sexy to you. To me, spaghetti is sexy, especially when it’s served off the tips of a man’s fingers. I like that. And I think wine is sexy, just before sex. It relaxes me. But if I want to get a serious groove on — if I want an out-of-body experience — I’m all about the sloe-gin fizz.

On Orgasms
Ah, yes: the big O. You know that stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? That’s all true. And in my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damned good orgasms these days. Much better orgasms than when I was twenty-two. And I wouldn’t let a man control that. Not anymore. Now I’d invite him to participate. I’ll tell you this: I’ve learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I’m not all about frequency. I favor intensity.

On The Sexiest Car
Ask me what’s the sexiest car in the world and I’ll just say my man’s car, because it smells like him, because his shape is pressed into the seat, because it’s littered with little bits of his life — his golf balls or his chocolate-bar wrappers — and it’s ripe with the smells of him. That’s the car I most want to ride in.

Much like my ~~lust~~ love for Stacey Dash, I'm gonna hear it for Halle, but I don't care. MILF your way to being the Sexiest Woman in the World every year for all I care.

Politricks • 2008 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES: Round 2

2008-10-07T16:10:00.000-07:00

With things getting uglier in McCain's campaign than his own liverspots, this debate should be interesting. Proceeding in the "Town Hall" format, the two candidates will hopefully ACTUALLY talk about the issues.

They say the format favors McCain, but something tells me that Obama F. Baby is gonna air dude out and Curtis McCain after all that garbage.

YES WE CAN!!!

Politricks • Obama Fires Back. McCain Ethered

2008-10-07T13:03:00.000-07:00

McCain just couldn't keep his nose clean and had to kick up dust against the Obama campaign.

SO-In a 13 minute Youtube Ethering session, Obama F. Baby's affiliates calmly released a video detailing his conncetion to the Keating 5, a group of shady savings and loan moguls who got bailed out by the taxpayers at the tune of $3.4 billion.

A far cry from $700 billion, but the fact that McCain is old enough to have been an old man during TWO financial bailouts is enough.

His skin cancer must really be acting up after that one.

via CNN

Guess Who's Back?!?!

2008-10-03T10:54:00.000-07:00

I couldn't stay away.

Its been too long
I shouldn't have left you
without a dope blog to step to.

As you can see, much has changed, both in this blog and in the world.

Hope you guys like the new look. There's so much going on and I want to do with this blog. I'm taking things in more of an online magazine direction, so look forward to changes as time goes on.

Hope you're feeling the look...holla at me and let me know what you think!

Of course there's gonna gonna be more changes as time goes on, I been learning new stuff that I can apply to make this blog better.

A la Sickamore, Here is the Top 10 things I've learned while I was out.

10. Barnes & Noble is the new wikipedia for real life. Now I know why Sick calls it the University. Who knew you could get brain for the price of a banana choc Vivanno.

9. Laptops=Freedom...Yes I'm late on this one, but who cares, I'm in the game now.

8. Half up front, half on delivery. I'm sure your a boss and you got more Pringles than Homer Simpson at a SuperBowl Party and all that, but don't give me crap about how you don't have $150 til a week later for a freelance job that was "a quick flyer job."

7. Speed < Velocity.

6. You are what you get paid to do.

5. Freelance > Coprorate. Don't sell out, Sell UP. Nothing says "F-the man" like calling shots in your boxers.

4. Your network=your networth.

3. Sell Benzes, not Buckets. People will pay for quality. Even if it's a recession. Step your game up, offer clients the best, and be Firm. (Pun Intended)

2. Labels=The Republican Party. The Firm=The Democratic Party. Haters=Ralph Nader

1. Work Hard, Play hard.

It's good to be back. Mogul Steeze is in full effect again! I'm taking things in more of an online magazine direction, so look forward to changes as time goes on.

Hope you're feeling the look...holla at me and let me know what you think!

Blogging Sabattical x Under Construction

2008-07-21T12:21:00.001-07:00

Since its been 10 days since my last post, I'm sure the streets are talking as to why I am, well NOT talking.

I have taken a sabbatical (read:falling back) from blogging for JUST a lil bit to work on some tweaks and such for this site to bring you more mogulness and more steeze on a daily basis! After I hit 2000, I realized wanted to really go to work on making this the best blog it can be, hence the lack of posts.

I am not saying that I will not be posting anything, just not on the reg as usual.

Thank you, and stay tuned Moguls.

What Part of the Game is That? • Jesse Jackson Hot Mic Scenario

2008-07-10T17:56:00.000-07:00

Looks like Uncle Jesse slipped up on the mic while it was still hot and dropped some even hotter nicks about OBama F. Baby.

Obama's nuts, and not his own ridiculously played-out conk, are apparently on Jesse's chopping block.

Perhaps if Slick Jackson grew up, he wouldn't feel like Barry was talking down to him!

While CNN had some class and decided NOT to air Jesse out, FOKKKs News and their all-purpose shock-jock x dung-beetle Billy O'Reilly were all over this one.

You gotta love how Bill included the subtitles for the people at the old folks homes. He has no shame.

A WTF moment for the ages, even if Jesse apologized. Just goes to show just how committed to progress these old heads really are--white OR black.

UPDATE!

So go and get our boy in. He’s only 30000 votes back. Which is nothing.

No...he's just getting his Lil Wayne on with a guitar we know he can't play...unless he's been taking lessons from Lenny Kravitz or something.

What is it with rappers trying to be rock stars?

That's what I'm here for! Fall back unless you can really play, like myself! All will be revealed July 3rd.

Jigga gave Oasis the finger and sang "Wonderwall" at Glastonbury. It went something like this:

Beyonce give her man props.

Noel Gallagher, in a drunken rage, slaps his brother Liam and throws a Divo-fit about why Hip Hop sucks, while still trying to reamain a releavant rock artist.

Jay-Z's pringles hit all time high while the UK forgets who really sang the song first.

Meanwhile here goes Kanye x Jeezy @ The Awards doin Put On...

Ye's killin it with the live vocoder.

BTW: No I am not covering the SouljaBoy x Ice Cube x Get a Life both of You drama.

But even as a self-proclaimed Kanye Stan, he missed me with the Soulja Boy x Nas comparison.

Nas is a legend.

Public Transportation x Random Thoughts

2008-06-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

With the Exelero at the mechanic, I've had no other choice than to take the bus to the office.

This means waking up at the crack of dawn only to get their at the same time if I had left my place 2 hours later.

It also means sitting between to an old mexican dude and a leaky drip next to your seat.

Thoughts arise during these thought-provoking moments:

"Where can this old guy possibly be going?"

"Why did Missy Elliot win best Female rapper over Lil Mama at the BET Awards?"

"Isn't Lil Mama the new Missy Elliot?"

"What's good Keiysha?"

"When will they fix this #$#@ing leak?!"

"Eddie Smurphy u done fucked up. Scary Spice can have my child any time"

"You were robbed on Dancing with the Stars Mel...

ROBBED!!!"

Stepping into Tomorrow - Jezign Light Up Kicks

2008-06-19T08:58:00.001-07:00

I don't know how to feel about these...I low key feel that light up shoes belong in the same catergory as 90s babies who are on that roller-shoe steeze, but with the fashion trends these days, who knows.

From Complex:

It’s been a minute since we saw light-up kicks—think back to the days when everyone was flossing those L.A Gear joints that flickered with every step. But it seems like Jezign, an advanced footwear illumination brand, is trying to make night-friendly kicks hot again. Perfect for after-hours summer balling, the Jezign line is focused around the brand’s most popular silhouette, “The Bubble Cloud”, a technical basketball shoe tricked out with a bright light in the sole. Although basketball sneakers are the bread and butter of the company, Jez also developed a casual collection which they claim is “generating a buzz with fashion-conscious urban consumers and celebrities.” We’re not sure if we’d rock these with our skinny jeans, but there’s a time and place for everything. The shoes are available for $150 at finishline.com Watch the promo video below.

Maybe Moguls really DO wanna get their Billie Jean on and light up the sidewalk when they walk--especially if the kid is not your son...and glowing in the dark while you dunk on a dude wearing mere Jordans must be empowering.

So what do you think Kick Stans...

Would you cop these?

%#$@ You, Mr. West

"Fresh off the plane...FUCK KANYE?"

It seems that Mr West is getting NO love in the Heart of the City in Tennessee at the Bonnaroo Festival.

Graffitti bearing the infamous four letter diatribe by concert goers was apparently a result of His Honorable Lateness'...well lateness.

His cool-as-funk stage set apparently took too long to set up, and Kanye neglected to apologize to his fans.

Get over it I say...you're at a four day festival and you're wasted. Smoke a blunt and get your Glow in the Dark on. It was the best show of the year.

Requiem for a Season Part II - The Thug Haiku

2008-06-18T20:50:00.000-07:00

For all of you that missed my comment on Sickamore's Blog, here is a posting of the Thug Haiku of the Laker's loss on Tuesday.

A black cloud
hangs over the city.
Los Angeles...
is devastated.
Oh wait,
thats just ME.
2009 seems like
an eternity away
yet still time
for Bynum to come save us
from Gasol's
Mushy banana
playing-style.
I hope he hits the gym
or
I Will hit him.
Kobe
please
return to glory
or we will trade you
without you even having
to ask
this time.
The flag still flies
from my car's back window.
Oh wait
nevermind.
It fell out this morning
when I rolled down the windows.
The LA heat was stiffling
like Boston's defense
Make me believe again...

AND I WILL BUY ANOTHER ONE.

Requiem for a Season

2008-06-18T11:08:00.000-07:00

Unless you've been hiding in a cave, or you are a hospital-ridden Laker-Hater, you missed out on a beatdown...

Calm down all my fellow Laker-Lovers...I know this was a tough L, but...

GAAAAAAAAAAAATTDAMN...39 POINTS??? 39 POINTS?!?!

39 points is worse than any NBA Live skunk. EVER! You'd get your controller revoked after 20. PERIOD.

Maybe because I bleed Purple and Gold, but were all the networks covering the Celtics win in the Finals just a little TOO ready to congratulate them? I knew I smelled something foul...and it smells like bias...

That or David Stern...

"The refs only had 'this' much to do with the outcome of the series."

ABC Puts up a Celtics Win graphic...

IN GAME 5?!?!

The countless photos of The Big 3 and Doc Rivers molesting the Larry O'Brien Trophy on SLIDESHOW throughout Game 6...THAT FAST??? Where was the Kobe & Phil treatment?

Stuart Scott is hawking Celtics Championship shirts after the game for NBA.com?

Moonlighting, are we Stu?

STICK TO BROADCASTING.

And get some #%*&in Visine.

Oh well...KG, Jesus, & Piru made it rain on them hoes like PacMan Jones. I can't even front, I'm happy for them. They are all worthy of a championship, no doubt. PP is MVP. Can't hate.

Maybe he'll finally get some rest...

And a haircut.

All I wanna know is...

What the #@!& Happened to THIS Kobe???

Oh yeah..this...

Gasol, you belong on the JV squad at my High School. Hit the weights in the offseason.

Kobe, you owe us one brother. You owe us BIG.

Boston, we'll see you when Bynum is back.

Jigga What?

2008-06-17T12:00:00.000-07:00

"Dame...is that you?"

It has been reported that a Mogul Beef has broken out among Live Nation´s Inc´s top executives:

According to Reuters, the bosses are battling over the concert-promotion company's strategy to reshape the music industry by making big, expensive deals with artists.

Chief Executive Michael Rapino wants to slow the pace of multimillion-dollar deals with artists, while Chairman Michael Cohl wants to accelerate it.

Live Nation’s stock price, which has fallen more than 44% since its first big deal and with the ever changing music industry Rapino wants to play it safe.

Live Nation signed a $120 million deal with Madonna and a $150 million deal with Jay-Z, and more big deals are coming up.

I hope this doesn't stall the RocNation deal that much. The streets are talkin and Jigganaut's Pringles might have to bow before his ex biz partner, Damon Dash...

More on that soon!

Power Couple Steeze

2008-06-17T11:49:00.000-07:00

Damon Dash and his wife Rachel Roy just Moguled up on everyone sealing a $4 BILLION deal for her new clothing line:

According to Baller Status

Damon Dash, the man who helped Jay-Z take Roc-A-Fella Records from the streets to the corporate level, and his wife Rachel Roy announced Monday (June 16) that they've has formed a $4 billion dollar joint venture Jones Apparel Group to develop, market and license the New York-based fashion brand named after his wife.

"Both Rachel and her clothing appeal to many audiences around the world, making her a widely renowned design talent," said Dash in a statement. "Through this partnership, we will be able to explore new opportunities for Rachel Roy, the brand."

Founded in 2004, by Roy and Dash, the Rachel Roy collection embodies everything for women who embrace fashion and dress, says the company, and also adds that effortless glamour, sophistication with a modern edge.

Via the joint venture, the partners plan to further develop the successful brand through continued global expansion of the wholesale business, introduction of new product categories, and stand-alone retail stores in key U.S. and international locations.Rachel Roy will continue to lead the design, manufacturing and production of the brand.

At press time, additional terms of the transaction were not disclosed.The line is currently available in the luxury department and select specialty stores, including Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks, and internationally in countries such as the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, South Korea, Canada, Turkey and Indonesia.

Jigga what? Jigga WHO?

With the Live Nation Deal looking as questionable as Kobe in the Finals, Dame might have one upped his former business partner.

Props to him and his wifey rockin that power couple steeze. Dash's boo came through when his Mogul Steeze was all but evaporated.

Props to a real Mogulette who can handle the rock when the Pringles are down and come thru for a Boss.

That's the wifey steeze all real Moguls should aspire for.

Moguls Gone Wrong - Urine Luck!!!

2008-06-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

The Gates of Heaven Showered its Golden....Mercy...upon R. Kelly today, finding him NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES. Chestergate finally has come to a close.

A Cook County jury on Friday acquitted R&B superstar R. Kelly of child pornography charges, marking the end of a high-profile trial rich in courtroom drama and celebrity intrigue.

The 41-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, long denied charges that he videotaped himself engaging in a variety of sex acts with his then-underage goddaughter. Authorities said the female in the video could have been as young as 13 at the time.

The jury of nine men and three women deliberated for 7 ½ hours before finding Kelly not guilty on all 14 counts.

The verdict ends a bizarre case that had languished for nearly six years. During almost four weeks of testimony, the jury heard about three-person sexual encounters and watched a sex tape in which the male participant is seen urinating on a female.

Between this, the Neverland Inccidents, and the Chris ~~Strokes~~ Stokes Fiasco, I don't know what to call justice.

I'm sure the Pringle stacks R. Pedo's legal team got will be feeding them and their families for a lifetime. I don't know how since their defense folded like the Lakers' in the second half of Game 4.

Be prepared for an R. Kelly gospel album to drop next week, and I wont be surprised if he sees a doctor about that mole on his back either.

KEEP YOUR DAUGHTERS AWAY FROM THIS MAN!

Game 4 = Magic Garbage

2008-06-13T07:49:00.000-07:00

Game 4=MAGIC GARBAGE

1st half
was MAGIC
2nd half
was GARBAGE
Hence the title.
How do you blow a 24 point lead
In 24 minutes?
LA Needs CPR
For choking in Game 4.
I will still rock the Laker flag on the whip
Miracles can happen in the summer

When will FoKKKs News learn that with every LAME ASS attempt at taking a jab at our next President Obama F. Baby, they are digging their own graves.

First it was the pound that was mistaken as a "terrorist fist jab"

Now they are refer to our First Lady as "Barack's baby mama"!!!

When has that EVER been cool?!?!

Salon's Alex Koppelman writes:

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he'd spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as "Obama's baby mama."

I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.

At some point, they might want to stop coming across as BLATANTLY racist, but I guess that ratings, pandering to the Mayonnaisse Mafia, and keeping Ann Coulter's draws wet on a daily basis is more important than actual NEWS.

I'm waiting for the day they call Cindy McCain "John's Vanilla Jump-Off" and even the score. Will it happen? Not likely...But should it happen?

YEZZIR.

AYO Technology - Blackberry 9500

2008-06-12T16:37:00.001-07:00

Sickamore...If you had Crackberry Issues before, consider this the new Blue Magic of Smartphones.

RIM is getting its Frank Lucas on again fo-d@-ass and dropping the Verizon Exclusive Blackberry 9500.

For you all Mobile Moguls, like Marv Albert at an Amsterdam sex show, this one is all touch screen. From Downtown....YESS!

iPhones beware. Just when your 3G game was enough to make you cop, Verizon counters quietly like a well-timed Derek Fisher three and conrners the market with a better phone on a better network. Crackberries>Apples.

Props to Boy Genius Report on this one:

Version 4.6 OS
GPS navigation
HSPDA network (thats 4G, Moguls)
280Mbps Transfer Rate
Rumored Video Conference Camera on the FRONT!!!

Sorry Steve Jobs. I'll rock with the Mac Book Pro till...the next one Apple realeases with a minor, yet somehow revoultionary tweak.

As far as phones go, I need that straight Crackberry Diesel. Now I can absorb it through my fingers which makes me tingle inside.

And my lips ashy.

PS, this image may or may NOT be the actual unit, but you get the idea.

You Ain't Up on This - BMW GINA Fabric Car

2008-06-12T13:25:00.001-07:00

Zee Germans. Leave it to them to push the very fabric (yeah...that was bad) of steeze with their latest concept car the GINA. Made of a new alloy chassis frame and four pieces of fabric, your whip will be dressed better than you for a change.

According to Wired:

The body is made from a seamless polyurethane-coated Lycra fabric stretched over a moveable aluminum frame allowing the owner to change the car's shape. Purely conceptual, there is no intention of this technology ever going into production.
Chris Bangle, head of design for BMW, says GINA allowed his team to "challenge existing principles and conventional processes."

"It is in the nature of such visions that they do not necessarily claim to be suitable for series production," company officials said in unveiling the car Tuesday. "Rather, they are intended to steer creativity and research into new directions."
GINA (Geometry and functions In 'N' Adaptions) has been in development for six years, the working model is built on a Z8 chassis and has four panels which take about two hours to put on.

2 hours to put on?! Any good Mogul can get dressed in like, 20 min tops. Only fitting that his car would be able to do the same! On the bright side, now you can change your car to fit those custom Vandals you copped, rather than the other way around. Sure its expensive, but thats why your pringle game is serious.

Hopefully with this we can finally see the death of those tacky 80s throwback cloth drop tops.

What Part of the Game is That?

2008-06-06T17:11:00.001-07:00

Just when you thought there was enough self respect to feed you and your family for a lifetime--when America was moving forward with things like, you know, Obama, Hybrid cars, shit, even Reality TV is a step up these days. Someone thought it would be good to set human progress back 15 years and cash in on a "hip hop lifestyle" energy drink trend that died as soon as Lil John got involved.

Forget Patron, Hennessey, and Belvedere. Drank is the "anti-energy drink" aka Sizzurp, now being pushed by clueless suits as the premier hip hop beverage.

"From design to production, every aspect of this calming drink was inspired by today’s popular hip hop artists who embrace the much sought-after hip hop lifestyle that encourages people to capture a stress-free state of mind."

Popular "Hip Hop Artists?" Like who? Pimp C? When was he ever popular? Didn't he die of shit like this anyways?!?

"Damn, these child support checks are really stressin me out, my nig. Ey yo pass that Drank over here..."

"Slow Your Roll"? I hope the marketing team behind this gets a trip to Cancun and their pilot "slows his roll" off this shit. Right into the Pacific Ocean.

AYO Technology - L.E.D. Emoticon Mask

2008-06-06T09:36:00.000-07:00

How cool is this? According to Engadget:

Since most people spend their days behind computers expressing emotions via colons and parentheses anyway, the Digital Media Design Dept at Hongik University figured they'd just be done with it all when they created the "Mask of Emotion." It displays LED emoticons that supposedly react to external stimuli, such as a smile when the wearer shakes hands with someone. Its creators say it was designed to hide real emotions and -- literally -- mask them with whatever is being presented on the mask.

You gotta love the Japanese. They make everything cooler. Just ask Kanye, Pharrell or Lupe. Foxin with the Japanese these days is like what getting shot did for your music career back in 03.

I'm low key mad at the Japanese tho...How is it they can make this cool gadget, but not my custom giant robot suit yet?! If you can make a helmet that reads my thoughts, how hard is the next logical progression of a robot armor suit that reads my thoughts? Let's get on that...you don't wanna see me pull my yen stacks out of your economy. We don't need that kind of drama.

I Don't Want to Hear It

2008-06-06T09:09:00.000-07:00

I am in no way celebrating the Laker's loss to the Celtics last night. Certain individuals will say that Boston's taking it in a sweep. Get real. The only thing I will say is Paul Pierce put on a great show for the Boston stans. Going down in the second half with a knee injury and coming back to the game to drop 2 consecutive 3s was pure NBA magic. Even Laker fans had to feel that.

At any rate, it must be noticed that LA was battling all night in Beantown, and the Celtricks had a tough time putting us away.

Jesus, KG, and Piru: Just understand that when you come to the Staples, it ain't gonna get no easier fellas. I know it will be a series to remember.

Politic It? YES WE CAN - Nas on Obama F. Baby

2008-06-05T14:10:00.000-07:00

Black President - Nas (prod. by DJ Green Lantern)
Nas has high expectations for ya boi Obama F. Baby. According to MTV.com:

“There never been a president to address the slaughter of young black people by this country’s police. When your government’s police are killing one section of people, that’s genocide. There’s never been a president to even acknowledge it. You don’t acknowledge that? That’s a big thing President Obama has to recognize when he gets in office. I’m five presidents in … and I ain’t seen nothing happen to stop the police murders on young, black people,” he added. “Why would I believe in the system? With that being said, I think Barack can cure that disease and help cure the country. Not just in that area with us blacks, but also with all Americans. Women are getting treated like dogs. You know how hard it is for a woman to prove she was raped? The system is warped. They throw young guys — who’s starving — in jail just trying to survive on the streets. Throw them in jail forever. Young kids, 18 years old, executed in Texas. Yet, child predators get to come home and do it again. I think it’s so much our president can do. [Obama] seems like a human being. I say that because a lot of presidents don’t seem like human beings. They seem like straight-up businessmen who care about nothing but the business. Nah, you gotta care about the people.”

Nas has always been one of my favorite rappers because of his political consciousness. I liken him to the Gil Scott Heron of Hip Hop. If only other rappers would step their politic game up.

Now that we have a brother heading to the white house, we can finally stop seeing trifflin' nigga-$#!+ like this.

Or this.

Now pump that imeem track. NaS is like...

Daps.

YES WE CAN!!!

According to a TEXT MESSAGE sent to Perez Hilton, it seems that Eddie Winslow has been layin his goon hand down on his (*ahem*) fiance, Karrine Stephans lately.

She says:

"It's Karrine. U have to help me. My boyfriend just tried to run over me with his car. [I] Just made a police report. In August, he placed me in a choke hold at a strip club on my birthday. There's a report and photos of that. There was another choking I never reported but is now being investigated. I lied to the city attny to save his ass but I'm DONE. He'll kill me if I go on with this. YES…Eddie Winslow from Family Matters! I have to give you this story. Pls!"

I wonder if those Lil Wayne "homie-lover-friend" conversations she and Weezy openly bragged about in Vibe Magazine way back had anything to do with this?

She was gettin pretty gully, talkin to Wayne on the phone while her and Eddie lived together. Why anyone would wanna wife this one is beyond me...she's had more laps put on her than 12 Daytona 500s. Besides, its not like Eddie's got the Pringles to blow into the wind on her anyways...I know its 2008, but Hoes still=/=Housewives. Sorry, but if this Mogul's Cuffing for Life, its power couple or nothing.

Still its no excuse to use Karrine as terrain to test the Double R suspension on.

BTW, since when is Perez the hood solution for Domestic Violence?

Thoughts???

Stepping into Tomorrow - Nike Vandal High Supreme EX Metal Pack

2008-06-04T20:46:00.000-07:00

After scouring the Net for some new black/metallic hightops I can afford to wear more than once, (sorry Kriss Van Assche...you still fly) Nike finally drops the vandals i've been waiting for.

According to High Snobiety:

A lot of hype has already built up on the Metal Pack by Nike on the internet in the past months. The Vandal High Supreme EX. out of the pack will be released at Atmos on June 14th. The pack is actually not limited and part of the regular Nike Fall '08 collection, so you should not be worried about not getting your hands on them.

Nice to see Nike come with some Rock n Roll flavored kicks. Doesn't help that I am a Vandal Stan like none other. I know they're black and gold, so I don't want to hear any "Are you an Alpha?" questions. Unless you're a chick who's into Alphas.

YES WE CAN - Obama F. Baby Does It!!!

2008-06-03T20:14:00.000-07:00

After a grueling campaign, Obama F. Baby is one foot in the White House! With endorsements from Jimmy Carter and other political big-shots, its safe to say we can finally keep it moving and square up against McKong for the fall.

Of course the Hillz won't concede, even though its eveident she needs to fall back graciously and start figuring out how to recoup all those campaign Pringles she owes.

HERE'S TO CHANGING HISTORY!

Firm Biz - The Famous Firm Article in OZONE Magazine

2008-06-03T20:00:00.000-07:00

Peep the vision for what started the New Industry in Sickamore's latest article in OZone Magazine...

When I was introduced to The Famous Firm by my good friend Sterling, I was at a point where I believed the music game, much like our country, needed a change. I had previously worked for a record company that was a shrinking pie, and that could no longer viably provide quality support for quality artists.

It failed to face the challenges artists and executives were faced with in a changing industry. Now we have an opportunity to give artists back their own destinies and bring validation back to the grind each of us have in the game.

I myself have learned so much in my short time working with The Firm, and have met some incredible artists and have had the ability to work with many inspiring individuals. I've been fortunate enough to be a part of a new company and become of this new process.

The Firm=The New Democratic Party of the Game.

Logically following, Sickamore=Obama F. Baby of the game?

Thoughts???

As Phella would say,

Peace and Firm.

Moguls Need Love Too

2008-06-01T18:26:00.000-07:00

Girls, girls, girls (remix) feat. Kanye West - Jay Z
Living the playboy life ain't easy. Your Pringles are always on display, and though you attract fame, fortune, and the occasional stan on a daily basis, gourgeous women are often a mainstay in the life of playboy billionaire Moguls. If you're a young swinging mogul and not fortunate enough to be on some Power Couple Steeze, don't worry. These chicks love the Pringles, and can never just have one. If your game is tight, you can be like one of these Steezy gents and be fortunate enough to have them around to keep your name in the papers and piss off jealous groupies.

Just keep it strapped or, you just might be cuffed for 18 on that Daddy Steeze. Or you can just light their house on fire like Fiddy and keep it moving.

Selita. If Cornball Cannon's stacks weren't enough, the brainpower behind that 5-head was. Puttin that grey matter to work got you close enough to Kanye to kiss the Pringles--and little Ye supposedly.

Alexis who?

Tracey Edmonds. After seeing you at brunch on Sunday with Lisa Raye in my hood, I was taken aback by your beauty. That and your tenacious appetite. No, not for blueberry pancakes and eggs, but for the Pringles. Not content with alimony from Babyface, you moved on to Saucie Murphy. Seeing that your lack of a penis netted you ZERO stacks (even after a stunt marriage/Sorry Scary Spice), you moved on to Diddy. After getting ran through like a banner on the 50 yardline of a Homecoming football game, you probably realized it would be good to go back to the drawing board after netting nothing and calling Diddy "a funny guy". (we already knew he was.)

We all know that your little brunch date with Lisa Raye that day was for her to drop jewels on you on how to snatch up a Mogul the RIGHT way. Mrs. Raye looked bomb in white as usual. She even footed the bill with her Royal Mogul's plastic. Just make sure you follow through this time and pick the right target, Tracey. I'm hearing The Rock's newly divorced Pringles are on the loose.

Make sure you close the deal this time. If not, have your people call my people. I tame cougars in my spare time.

Welcome to the Lakeshow

2008-05-30T21:36:00.000-07:00

Haters, keep the mouth closed. Actually keep it open so you can continue to guzzle that Haterade. It's what helped us get here. Not that we needed it cuz as a lifelong Laker Fan I knew this was coming. It just made the ride that much more fun to crush your dreams. The Spurs are the most unexciting team in basketball, and I hope their offseason continues to be just as unexciting. Meanwhile we'll be in the playoffs droppin off the Cosby Kids on the Celtics.

The refs can't stop us. Bruce Bowen's pattycake hands can't stop us. Even minus Bynum we still bring it. Look at Gasol right now blessin his European counterpart and master flopper Manu Ginobli right here. You see the look on his face? With those $25k fines about be imposed by the NBA for flopping, Manu's check is gonna be comin up pretty short next season. He's gonna be making that face a lot.

Paul Pierce may be The Truth, and AI may be The Answer, but Kobe is THE BUSINESS. See you in Boston... And if KG don't bring it, we'll see you in Detroit.

2008-05-30T19:17:00.000-07:00

30 something ft. andre 3000 and ice cube (greg street remix) - Jay-Z

Jay-Z--Gazillionaire, King of Catergory C, Mogul Steeze Extraordinaire, and CEO of Hip Hop (Sorry Papa Rusty, you missed us with that Yoga Steeze...Don't worry, you're still a shareholder.) is doing it bigger than Warren Buffet these days.

With his Mogul Steeze higher than Gary Dourdan at Coachella, one can't help but wonder how he does it. Peep the Blueprint and read on. Future Moguls take notes.

The Corporate Takeover of Jay-Z
By JASON “JAY” MOHAWK
(CORPORATE TAKEOVER) - Last month, in a move that many should have seen coming, hip-hop mogul Shawn Carter finalized the corporate takeover of Jay-Z Inc. when he sold the remainder of the franchise to concert promoter Live Nation. After years of building up the brand called Jay-Z, Carter is doing what any smart investor would do at this point: Cashing in.
In the minds of his audience, rapper Jay-Z is the epitome of cool. “Jay’s just that dude—Period,” says Ryan Bence, 22, a senior at Arizona State University. “He is the Sinatra of our day. He’s who everyone wants to be.” Another fan, 21-year-old LaShonda Shepherd, a student at the University of Maryland, insists, “Jay is one of the few rappers now that still gives me chills. I listen to him, and I’m sucked in.” It’s that larger than life persona that has helped the entertainer gain such a devout following among hip-hop fans, and sell more than 33 million albums worldwide. But as he himself is quick to remind you, there is an important distinction between Shawn Carter and his braggadocios alter ego, Jay-Z the hip-hop star: while Shawn Carter is a businessman, Jay-Z is a business, man.
Over the years, Carter has successfully used Jay-Z’s influence as a hip-hop star to build a franchise of businesses that capitalize on the rapper’s popularity. “[Jay-Z] is a purveyor of quality and value,” says Robby Wells, chief strategy officer for Acme Content Co. “He adds value to the lives of his consumers—just like any trusted brand. Where he is different than a typical brand is that he has an extreme amount of highly valuable influence. He could easily stand on the merits of what he is famous for, but he has shot to extreme levels of success due to his influence.”...
peep The Corporate Takeover Magazine for the whole article.

The Jigganaut is unstoppable. He's got Live Nation Pringles that will last him and his family a lifetime, Rocawear is ACTUALLY wearable, and Bey is on some real Wifey Steeze right now. The stars seem to have alinged for Mr. Carter. Thank God I'm a Sagittarius like him. I got next. I'm just gonna have to pass on that 40/40 Club Vegas.

What Part of the Game is That? - Eddie Murphy to Mount Comeback...(Not Brokeback) as Axel Foley

2008-05-29T19:46:00.000-07:00

Eddie, I know...you're just as confused as we are. I know you're wondering, "Why did I agree to come back and play Axel Foley again in Beverley Hills Cop 4--20 YEARS LATER?!?! Oh yeah, cuz my carreer after the originals plummeted and I started giving 'rides' to trannys and letting Johnnie Gill stay in the 'poolhouse'."

You heard it Moguls, Ed Murph is back as Axel Foley. This time he better live up to my childhood expectations. I'm not talking any of this fat-suit special effect make-up or Indiana Jones comeback shit either. I want Eddie Murphy, RAW; that Boomerang/Coming to America Ed Murph...as Axel Foley of course.

Restore your glory Eddie, or pretty soon history will be forced to replace you with you with your cooler, much more niggerish, and much less suspect brother Charlie Murphy.

Cool Like That...Did I Mention I'm Cool?

The In Crowd
If you haven't heard of The Kidz in The Hall, you're fallin off. Go cop their new one The In Crowd. You'll thank me--just be sure to do it with money this time.

You Ain't Up on This - Deus Ex Machina Motorcycle

2008-05-27T13:35:00.001-07:00

Moguls get around in a variety of trendsetting ways. Maybachs, Phantoms, & G5's...and much like Joan Rivers, Vivica Fox, and King Magazines, they look good, but get old. Here's a new way to chunk deuces at the haters while looking flyer than...well anyone. Peep the flow on the Deus Ex Machina Motorcycle. Freeing your crotch (and your future Moguls seeds) from uncomfortable crotch-rocket seats,you can tell women you're a three-legged beast and really mean it. Just remember to let her know it's hybrid powered and eco friendly, or you won't be needing that crotch anymore.

While this is just a prototype, if you've got the Pringles, the Future Can Be Now.

Over The Hillz

2008-05-22T15:57:00.000-07:00

Good Moguls know when to go hard. Better Moguls know when to go home. Hillary Clinton needs to go home...HARD.

Truly a WTF moment.

You Ain't Up on This - Did Ye Swagger-Jack?...SHO'NUFF!

2008-05-22T14:12:00.001-07:00

For all of you late 80's & 90's babies who might be asking "Who is this nappy-headed karate-ass nigga who is biting Ye's shutter shade steeze?!?! HOW DARE HIM!" Fall back. He is the iconic villian Sho'Nuff from The movie Barry Gordy's Last Dragon, and he was one of the first to rock them!

Though he may not need writeers but might bounce ideas, he wasn't the first to come up with some fly shit like thiiiis.

Mogul Steeze - Ryan Braun

2008-05-21T14:28:00.000-07:00

Funny the paths that life will take you. As a younger Mogul, I used to play baseball. Granted, like many of the things I put my heart into, I was good. $45 million good? Ehhh. The way the game of life played out, Ryan Braun is that good.

I've known Ryan for years. We played baseball as kids together, went to grade school together, partied, etc together. Its funny how this great game of life has these moments when people like this are in your life at times. Whether its God dangling a carrot or inspiring you to get off your ass and make it happen, you gotta thank him. Rather than hate on my dude, I'm nothing but proud of him. People often wanna hate on the success of others because they cannot visualize their own success. I read a quote today that really put it into perspective.

"Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success."

Continue to work hard and visualize your success. You might wind up $45 million richer for it. Congrats Ryan. Right now, I'm visualizing Brewers suite tickets this season. Playoffs would be nice.

FREE SAIGON...From Atlantic!

2008-05-21T12:58:00.000-07:00

Gotta Believe (Ft. Just Blaze) - Saigon Ft. Just Blaze
They always missed me with those "Free So-and-So" campaigns rappers embark on when one of their patnas get locked up. I'm sure they didn't deserve what happened to them, or it was someone else in that video peeing, or those alleged rocks in that whip--that wasn't really theirs--really weren't theirs, or whatever. But why do no rappers ever crusade for their people who get locked up in BAD RECORD DEALS??? The link between rappers and bad deals is almost as prevalent as the one between rappers and incarceration, yet no one crusades for that.

Enter Just Blaze. A true Hip Hop Patriot, Rappers Hero, and Producer Extrodinaire. I like to think of him as the Obama F. Baby of Producers. A real champion of music who is fighting for change in the game.

Props for him blessing Saigon on that Give Us Us Free Steeze and helping him get him outta Atlantic Records with 100% OWNERSHIP OF HIS MASTERS. Check out Sickamore's blog for details.

Damn...if Just can get outta the contract with Atlantic with 100% of his masters, I wonder if Nick Cannon can still get outta wedlock with Mariah with 100% of his dignity.

Lose Your J.O.B. - Yeezy & Nekkid Breezies, Nas Ain't A N*gger

2008-05-21T09:04:00.000-07:00

Wanna lose your J.O.B.? (aka Just Over Broke--props to Kevion) Watch these!

G Shock Event - Can't Tell Me Nothing from kwest on Vimeo.

If you weren't cool enought to be at Kanye's G-Shock Afterparty, don't worry. Here's some NSFW love for you of him performing Can't Tell Me Nothing. Ye is rockin that LeisureSuit Larry in Outer Space Steeze. I feel it. Especially the kicks.

It shouldn't really matter that he's got topless space breezies in the background, since he indeed has his money right, and we really can't tell him nothing...Unfortunately most of your employers at your J.O.Bizzel can, and somehow this probably won't fall into the realm of what they might call "art". Like a Hollywood street dog, enjoy at your own risk.

Nasty NaS talks about why he changed his album name. I'm all for head turning album titles. Hip Hop Is Dead was a good look. But, Changing the Game aside, honestly I'm not surprised Esco did this. The KKK woulda bought this album with the wrong idea. But hey, they own http://www.martinlutherking.org/ where they try to discredit Dr. King, he has an album called Nigger where he airs out racist white people. Sounds like a fair trade to me.

Mogul to Mogul - Kevion P.E.A.C.E. Academy & Millionaire Mentor

2008-05-14T16:52:00.000-07:00

Jordan had Phil. Jigga had Biggie. Kanye Had Jigga. See where this is headed?

Anyone successful witll tell you the value of great mentors. We are fortunate in life to be blessed by their guidance, wisdom, email blasts that drop daily jewels, as well as the ones that get us into great parties...you know what I mean.

Anyways, lately I have been blessed enough to meet many people who have given me great insight, knowledge, and advice when it comes to this game we call life.

Kevion is a mentor to many people, including Jonas Bevaqua, Kid Millionaire and Owner and CEO of LRG. I was fortunate to be put in contact with Kevion through Jonas and Curt Connors after his Birthday Bash back when this whole blog started. A lot of people had mad love for this dude, and after a few life coaching sessions with him, I can see why. The jewels he drops from his P.E.A.C.E. Academy sessions help brilliant people focus their energy in a creative, positive way. Much like Aretha Franklin at a buffet or that DVD The Secret, its all about the Law of Attraction.

You need someone who will push you so that you push back. No I'm not talking about a Sumo Wrestling partner, or...Aretha Franklin--but as a former athlete, I can attest to the value of a good coach in sports. Since life is often a metaphor for sports, and vice versa, I can also attest to the value of a good coach in life. Inspiration>Motivation, and anytime you can be around someone or something that inspires you--a friend, a family memeber, or a even song, you will often find that it touches a place deeper than motivation. No, not there you Chester...turn off that R. Kelly.

People have asked me sice I've started this blog, "Why are you so full of yourself on here? You make me feel, like, insignificant." I'm sorry you feel like that, but it is simply becasue I refuse to act any other way. I'm here to challenge you and bring out your inner Mogul...not cater to YOUR ego. This is after all MY blog! Besides, you wouldn't get mad at your broker for telling you how much money he's made after he gave you the same stock tips, would you? (If you don't have a broker, don't answer that...)

It's all about BE.DO.HAVE. To me BEING a Mogul and assuming the Mogul Mindset must supercede what Moguls DO to get what they HAVE. Too many people let what they HAVE (or don't have) come before what they want to BE, and what they must DO to get there, when in reality, all you have to do is assume the mindset of what you're aiming for and the what you want to be and the rest will fall into place.

Don't let this blog fool you, even I'VE got a long way to go. But I revel in the process at all times, and no matter what I work hard at my goals and stay committed to retaining the Mind of a Mogul. Right now I feel my Mogul Steeze at an all time high, and I like it up here. No matter what, I'd love to have you all there with me. So remember, Be a Mentor, Pay it Forward, Give Back, and Get Right or Get Left! See you at the top!

If I Ruled the World - Part 1

2008-05-12T13:27:00.001-07:00

Rick James had them. Charlie Murphy had them...Rick James even said that Charlie Murphy had them. While I'm at it, Charles Manson had them too. No, I'm not talking about wild sex parties or the occasional dabbling in hard drugs. I'm talking about delusions of grandeur...mostly ones that involve world domination. Hey, let's be real--power is intoxicating, but I'd much rather get high off that than rocks. Every Mogul rules the world in some small sense. Here's a few of my thoughts. Enter the mind of a Mogul.

I would own the Lakers, and Kobe would have Won MVP a long time ago. The haters know it. They just won't show it. Either way, KG, Jesus Shuttlesworth, and Paul Pierce are gettin it in the Finals. It'll be like the 80s all over again, minus Larry Bird running his mouth and the consecutive L's year after year.

Remy Ma would be able to marry Papoose from jail. Hip Hop needs all the help it can get. Good to see a dude stand by his chick. Thug Matrimony sells better than rocks.

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey would be sent to a deserted island...Just to see if their "love" is real.

Obama F. Baby would be President. What you think I wanna run this country? No thanks. In good corporate fashion, I'll outsource that job to Barack, throw his campaign some stacks, and enjoy the $5,000 a plate benefit dinners.

This would be me.

"50 Cent, the man who made a reported $200 million from his deal with Vitamin Water, is now said to be in negotiations with the Rupert Murdoch founded News Corp for a reported $300 million. According to ThisIs50.com, the deal would go into effect in 2009, in which News Corp would take a large stake in all aspects of the 50 Cent brand.
The deal would help launch the company’s MySpace Records, as 50 and his G-Unit roster would move under the label’s umbrella. Sources say half the deal will be in stock, in which 50 Cent would become one of the largest shareholders of News Corp.
Also under the deal, 50’s online community, ThisIs50.com, would be acquired by News Corp, his touring would be marketed through and sold via the company, and would also include a G-Unit book deal, and music publishing for 50 and the artists under his label.”

I can't stand Fif, but his Pringles must be ridiculous. Props to Bossip for the link.

That's all for now. The fact that I actually wanted to be 50 Cent for a moment just made me throw up in my mouth a little.

UPDATE: Turns out this little shenanigan was false. Good. I can go back to respecting myself, not waging beef with rappers better than me,....and using regular dental floss instead of shoelaces again.

The Weekend Update - Hollywierd, Pete Wentz, Art Galleries, Weapons of Mass Design, GTA4, Basketball, Mother's Day

2008-05-12T12:26:00.001-07:00

Of course some of these things don't seem to belong together in the same sentence, but when you're blogging, it's your job to not make sense...just posts.

Niko is my hero. GT4 Sells half a billion copies. Rockstar Games just BAUCED up on the industry. Pringle Stacks are everywhere for these guys. Let me know when you guys go public...I want shares. If you already are public, I'm firing my broker.

Saturday I went to Gallery 1988 where we saw the Weapons of Mass Design exhibit by Pete Gronquist. Definetly worth checkin out. Not to glorify war, but who WOULDN'T wanna blow away terrorists with a Chanel RPG? What??? Its gold plated and stylish. At least Cheney and Bush would get a break from all the flack over WMDs. Just leave poor Karl Lagerfield alone.

Pete Wentz was there and dropped like 10Gs on a few pieces. For most Moguls, much like pennies, parking your own car, and marriages without prenups, stickershock just doesn't exist to us. Just don't let that soon-to-be sis-in-law of yours near the D&G Uzi. She's not taking the Romo thing too well I hear.

Hollyweird...

Spidey on a cig break...CLASSIC

Puffy Chinese Olympic Promo Thingies

After tripping over curbs, some brief shopping, Crepes, street bartending, and the realization that H&M needs to step their game up in 08, it was on to more adventures...

Headed to LACMA for some drunken guerilla-photo blogging. No we will not use our cellphones outside the building. But I will flex my Mogul Steeze inside the building. As a matter of fact, our phones aren't going anywhere. Fall back, rent-a-cop. MY stacks pay for YOUR job...AND this building.

And we still got plenty of photos..WHAT??!?!

All that's missing is a giant clown standing next to this...well the little one standing there will have to do...

Interesting how the "sands of time" seem to always "erode" the noses and mouths of Egyptian statues off...Ancient Haters!!!

Honey I shrunk the Mogul

"The atrist's view of reality creates an entirely new world"
Words to live by.

Sunday spent some time with the Mogul Fam and cooked Momz some gourmet shizz. Watched the Lakers get shook by a Utah team that I've never had respect for since Karl Malone...so basically never. A 2-2 series at this point is below us, and I'm sure Kobe will make the state of Utah pay dearly for their crimes.

At any rate, I'm a well rounded Mogul, and I can cook pretty damn good. Of course Alfred could have cooked for us, but hey, Butlers have Moms too. Props to Danny B for the salmon recipie, and you know who on the German Potatoes.

On another note, I got my computer to ackrite again. I'll be doing graphics on my Dell until my Mac Book Pro is in my hands. Give me Apple or Give Me Death. PCs are for office cubicles and cash registers at movie theaters.

Can we Politic It? YES WE CAN! - Obama 08

2008-05-12T11:51:00.000-07:00

With The Hillz hanging on for dear life like Lil Kim's career in this campaign, things are looking good for Mr. Obama F. Baby. He's picking up superdelegate votes faster than R. Kelly can pick up pedo charges. It's only a matter of time before the Democratic Party is united behind this guy and we can get down to business. Like dealing with these gas prices. I've been having to take the ~~Camry~~ working car out WAAAAY too much and my Maybach Excelero has been lonlier than MIMS at his last concert. Who? Exactly.

Thank GOD the Dems are finally seeing the light and getting The Hillz to fall back. The only thing more painful than watching The Hillz...well there isn't much out there more painful than watching a 1000 screaming girls standing behind some chick who won't stop talking about herself and has had waaay too much plastic surgery...unless we're talking about The Season Finale of MTV's The Hills...Or Tyra. Then its' pretty much the same thing...Only twice as painful.

Mogulette Steeze - What Part of the Game is That?

2008-05-09T19:12:00.000-07:00

First there was the glass ceiling. Now its the porcelain wall. For all you Mogulettes out there who just can't enough of a power trip off of that CEO steeze in the men's bathroom, consider the playing field leveled. You can now feel at home with Mr. Mogul in the co-ed bathrooms and put those urinals to use. Behold the Whiz-Freedom. You'll be staring at that posted sports page and avoiding looking down in no time. Just remember to shake.

The Weekend Update

2008-05-06T09:01:00.000-07:00

When you're a Mogul, chances are your job consists of telling people what to do all the time ala The 4 Hour Work Week so you can make that 3 o'clock tee time with your Mogul buddies and still catch Sportcenter, or for all you Mogulettes, hit Rodeo Drive in time to make it home to watch The Hills and make fun of LC and her girlfriends...with your girlfriends. It all can get so tiring.

After a seriously productive working Saturday, what do I do? Despite the Good Lord designating the day as one of rest, I topped myself, and made it action-packed...with fun, of course.
If you haven't seen Iron Man yet, we can't be friends. Every Mogul on the planet needs to see this movie. Tony Stark is my Hero. Techno-Mogul, Billionaire, Playboy, and Alcoholic. Stan Lee stole my life story...and my Armor Suit. I'm expecting royalties stacks any day now along with my George Dubya stimulus package check. Or you can just give me that extra suit you got lyin around that Rhoady's tryna get his hands on and we'll call it even.

I also got to see my Wifey in concert...She was as amazing as ever. Ne-yo was there too, so I guess me and my date were on some secret lover shit...I knew you weren't just going "to the bathroom" right after he finished his set. It's fine. Me and Alicia were texting each other the whole show...Good thing I wrote her number down from "Diary" before they took it out of the song. I won't tell.

Shouts to the dude on rocks who was next to us. I never knew an Alicia Keys concert could be so...hyphy.

Mogul to Mogul - Sickamore

2008-05-05T20:30:00.000-07:00

Saturday was dope. The East Coast Bauce meets the Left Coast Connect. Having the opportunity to work side by side with The Famous Firm Mogul was eye-opening, motivating & inspiring. Since joining with the Famous Firm, life has been MUCH better...hence the slogan, "Life's Better When You're Famous". I couldn't agree more.

My first round of meetings was held in Hollywood. Sick stepped fresh off the plane and met up with ya boi in the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel. Starting with Dante Basco, we got it poppin. 6 hours, 12 meetings, and several gin & tonics later, we met some great talent, came up with some great ideas, and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of these projects. The projects we have on the table are really exciting and I'm looking forward to working on all of them. Catergory C's all around. I'm very confident with the people I have working with us, and the next few months are gonna be bananas...Peel Out.

Shouts out to Dante, Rob Grimes, The Insomiaks, and Eunice...thanx for coming out.

Good lookin to Anjelica, King Blue, Curt, Ken, Ethan, Courtney, and Mary Rose. It's just the beginning...The Firm is Takin over.
