Prodigy is a Moron


Found this amusing blog about Prodigy thought i'd share it


Aside from the usual banning of retards, I mostly just report the news here on Defsounds...I might comment here and there but not too often--so I decided to post one blog a day with my latest thoughts on our favorite past time..Hip Hop. I mean..if Prodigy can blog ...why the hell can't I?

Speaking of Prodigy, does anyone have any respect for this guy anymore? better yet does anyone care about what he has to say? Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big Mobb Deep fan, Shook Ones part 2, Get Away, Burn, etc, they have some great work but Prodigy is a fucking moron.

So here's my top 10 Reasons why Prodigy should shut the fuck up.

10. It's 2008...the last time you were semi relevant and had some heat was in 2004 with Amerikaz Nightmare. You said rapping isn't for everyone...well lil fella, rapping isn't a lifetime career either.

9. You're just not hot without Havoc...Alchemist is cool and you put out some semi-ok work with him, but stick to the winning formula..you're awful solo.

8. You thought putting out an album in bagillion languages would be cutting edge enough to get sales. I took a chance and listened to the Spanish version of HNIC2, when I was done I called cablevision up and had them remove telemundo from my lineup--thanks to you I now hate Spanish people.

7. You named Lupe Fiasco and Saigon amongst your list of wack rappers. Now I'm not the biggest fan of either of those rappers, but they're skills on the mic are blatant. There's a difference between having an opinion and just talking shit.

6. You let a muscly midget perform on stage with you then proceed to punch you and run out the club unharmed. You can't keep claiming you're a gangsta after that. Saigon got a clean shot on you and you're still talking shit.

5. You have a blog. Gangsta's don't keep blogs...You're gonna update your blog from prison...with what?..WTF would be so interesting happening in prison that you have to inform your 2 fans? Havoc and Alchemist have better things to do than to read how Charlie from Cellblock F almost dropped the soap.

4. You type in all caps and use alot of exclamation points like you're really excited to be on the computer. You're a grown ass man, only teenage emo girls on myspace type in all caps. THIS AINT GANGSTA!!!!

3. Seriously, I can't get over this typing in all caps thing--it's like he doesn't know you can turn off capslock, check out this amazing excerpt from his latest blog entry.

ANYBODY THAT GOT SOMETHING AGAINST KEEPING A BLOG, YOU SHOULD STAY FARRRRRR AWAY FROM THE FOOL AND NEVER TRUST EM’. A BLOG IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY, JUST LIKE RAP MUSIC ISN’T FOR EVERYBODY. A BLOG IS INTERNET SLANG FOR A LOG AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT A LOG IS—IT’S WHAT BOAT CAPTAINS WRITE AND KEEP IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT THE DAYS OF LONG VOYAGES AND TRAVELS...IT’S LIKE A DIARY.

SO FOR A YOUNG, VETERAN, HARDCORE RAPPER LIKE MYSELF, THAT’S BEEN IN THE GAME FOR OVER 16 YEARS TO KEEP A BLOG ON MY OWN WEBSITE MIND YOU, IS GROUND BREAKING AND VERY INTERESTING. AND WHOEVER TELLS YOU THEY DON’T DO THE BLOG THING, THEN THAT’S THEIR CHOICE...BUT IT’S THE CHOICE OF A DINOSAUR WHO HAS LITTLE TO NO PLACE WITH THE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGICAL FUTURE.

EITHER THAT OR THEY JUST MAD THAT THEY’RE NOT INTERESTING ENOUGH TO HAVE A BLOG THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO READ

It's like he literally just discovered the wonders of the internets and all of the sudden he's an expert.

#2. You say you don't wear jewelry anymore cause everyone's doing it when in actuality you don't wear jewelry cause your ass keeps getting stuck up for it.

#1. YOU WAS A BALLERINA I GOT THE PICTURES I SEEN YA!

Davey D VS Fox News

By Davey D

This is a recent confrontation I had with the fake journalists over at Fox News which has been rapidly sinking in the ratings... Good thing I recorded the entire incident because when they ran it on the Bill O'Reilly show they conveniently left out my questions.

Here's what really went down: This reporter named Griff Jenkins crashed the Take Back America Conference in Washington DC and was on a mission to stir up trouble by attacking people like Reverend Jesse Jackson.who was on hand to give a presentation about the 5 year anniversary of the War in Iraq. Jenkins had earlier confronted Jackson in an ambush type of manner and berated him with questions about Reverend Jeremiah Wright who is the pastor to Senator Barack Obama. They wanted Jackson to dis him.

For those who don't know, what's been happening is that the 'Faux' News family have been on a mission to try and pull down and derail the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama. Thus far they've used every trick in the book and thus far nothing has worked. Their latest gimmick has been to show his Pastor of 20 years in a bad light and then try to associate Senator Obama with the smear job they did on his Pastor.

When Jackson attempted to answer they would cut him off and ask a bunch of more questions. Jackson got away from them and did his presentation. After the speech, Jenkins and his cameraman got on stage, pushed their way past the conference attendees and other reporters who had been waiting patiently to talk to Jackson. Again the Fox News crew started loudly berating Jackson about the Pastor's 7 year old remarks. Jenkins loudly demanded that Jackson publicly dis-avow Pastor Wright for the remarks he made about 9-11. Jesse refused and answered Jenkins in a calm manner. Jenkins wasn't satisfied and once again he loudly berated Jackson.I decided enough was enough and stepped in to flip the script by interviewing Jenkins.

Here's some things to keep in mind as you watch the slickly edited video by Fox which was shown on the O'Reilly Factor and the audio which I recorded.

1-Note how Fox News left out my questions when they showed the clip on O'Reilly. Both the Fox Reporter and myself were recording at the same time.

2-Note that Barack Obama had not delivered his speech on race and politics. He was scheduled to speak on that topic as well as the remarks made by his Pastor within a half hour of this incident. Everyone was rushing to find a TV to see the speech.
Instead of waiting to see what Senator Obama had to say, Fox News tried to kick up dust and then make it seem like what we were watching occurred in the aftermath of Obama's speech

3-On the stage and in attendance at Take Back America were people of all races. Everybody got along-there was no race baiting. The only race baiting that went on that day came from Fox News.

4-Fox News got the hell out of dodge after the incident. They were shook up big time, when the same intrusive tactics were used on them. Notice how Jenkins tells me to stop harassing him and demands to know who I am. Funny how he didn't afford anyone else the same courtesy.

5-Here's the biggest irony.. after the speech the Fox Reporter Griff Jenkins was raving about how brilliant Barack Obama's speech was. Funny how he didn't put those glowing remarks on the air.

6-Fox News didn't identify me in the clip even though I have been on that network at least half a dozen times. What's even crazier is the O'Reilly Factor has attempted to get me on their show several occasions. Funny how they forgot to ID me during the newscast.

My guess is that they would have to note that Davey D is a reporter who writes for the San Jose Mercury News and has syndicated talk show that airs in several markets daily. That would've legitimized me in the eyes of those who may have been led to believe that I was a race-baiting lunatic. In other words Fox News was reaching for straws and had to resort to misleading folks..By acknowledging my press status then Fox News would've been made to look even more like blithering idiots. The funny thing is that many people did recognize me due to the fact that I am frequently on other networks and in documentaries.

ani's note:

*The video here is from Fox News, where Davey D is shown demanding Griff Jenkins to answer a question. Faux News conveniently edited out the question Davey D wanted answered

It's all in the game yo



The greatest show of all time is finally over. To all my fellow Wire fiends out there I feel your pain let us start the mourning process. It will take a while but we will recover from this I promise you. A little eulogy before we leave it's only right

R.I.P to

Wallis
D'Angelo Barksdale
Stringer Bell
Frank Zabotga
Boadie
Prop Joe
Omar Little
Snoop

(notice i left a few off like "Cheese" & "Silvino" because let's face it they got what was coming to them)

All we can do now is speculate on how it would've played out had there been more seasons.
How well would Slim Charles and the rest of the co-op have handled their business now they have the direct link to the connect?
Would Marlo have really left the game behind completely?
Would young Michael have become the new Avon Barksdale and rose up through the ranks?
What kind of conversations would Wee bay and Chris Partlow have had while being the two main soldiers taking all the murder charges for both Avon & Marlo?

But we could be here all nite thinkin on that so im gonna just say that if anything The Wire has shown us about life is that things cannot be seen in just black and white. People do things for certain reasons or circumstances, the good guys are not always conducting themselves in the right fashion, sometimes you feel great admiration or compasion for the so called "villian" and end up siding with him in certain situations.Seeing things from both sides both points of view. Life is complex and for me The Wire is like a real glimpse into society as a whole and the problems that cannot simply be fixed by glossin over cracks like how the baltimore police, on orders from the major, have to chase stats to make it look like crime is decreasing when doing nothing really to solve the core problem. In season 3 Bonnie Colven sets up zones in which the dealers may operate without being hastled by the police and the cops can go and do as Bonnie puts it "proper police work". This was one of the most brilliant pieces of t.v ever in my mind and something that only a show like The Wire could produce. So many ill scenes so much stuff to think on truly addictive viewing if you don't know about The Wire (click here) I envy you because you get to discover it for the first time and trust me there is nothing like it.

Right now I'm still in the grieving process and find it hard to talk about it so im gonna just leave it there.

If you wish to show your love for The Wire you can go here to pay tribute
