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.

Welcome to the Lakeshow
Mogul Steeze - Shawn Carter
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 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.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.”...

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