BAPE X Disney???

Apparently, BAPE and Disney are coming together. I got down with the DC X BAPE, but Disney? Word up?

Awe, Winnie the Pooh? This is straight Japan, though. They love Disney....well at least dude who made Dragon Ball Z....

"Matt, Why You Go So Hard?"

Cuz I have to sweety. If I didn't, it would just be too easy...

Haven't posted in a minute. Not cuz I couldn't,. but cuz I wouldn't. A lotta things have been transpiring. The Dragon Punch is getting on my nerves. I have a few beats handy. Been on WSU's campus laughin' and shit. "Where these hidden heauxs comes form?"

Lemme do my blog shit...

I've taken a liking to Flud Watches....and

Terminator: Salvation....look at Common! Everybody kinda saw Batman playing John Connor coming, right?

Other than that.....party and bullshit....People tryna "Will Rap 4 Food" on us....Ignorant folks not demanding us, spending more time interrupting my advertising than absorbing it.....We sonning these n!99@$ like lunar eclipses....Got a new favorite Lil Wayne song. With Pharrell, "Yes".

It's probably the beat causing the audio addiction..."Yes, nigga, yes, nigga, YES!"

We finally rose to our respectable spot at #26 on eventful...

Nothing but love. 'Til we meet again....

We're like #27 in the Summerfest contest, yes! We were like 80something not too long ago. We did some campaigning today. Gotta j some haters. "Somebody" is tryna "Will Rap 4 Food" on us. "Get down with the click, or get found in a ditch".

"They Want That Young Shit, That Dumb Shit"

Man....It's hard out here for some pimps....I thought this Eventful.com contest was gonna be easy, but it's kinda hard. I figured, I got over 1,000 Facebook friends, all it would take is, for me to have them demand us and wha-laa! BUT NO.......People have to be difficult. I'm not trippin' though. Hopefully, my Facefucks will see through the difficulty, and help us out, but that's wishful thinking.

The past few days, I've been thinking about the concept of "conforming". It's looking REALLY tempting. I mean, music-wise, I've accepted what people are willing to listen to, versus what we make. It just gets frustrating to bust your ass lyrically, and have cats who rhyme like 5 year olds get more attention than you.

I got word from my bro that our shit's good, but there's no depth. M.I.C: music by teenagers, for teenagers, give us a break. Sp00ks & Sp00ns was made for the purpose of riding to. Cin City and With Flying Colours will be some thought provoking shit, along with that classic M.T. Bag sound.

Day in, and day out, I'm busting my ass tryna get this band some ears, and I often get eye/headaches. You get out what you put in. I thank the folks who appreciate what we do 'round here, and to those who don't like us, obviously, you're just not listening. I did a track with Relly Boi. Decent listen, should be on Myspace in a matter of days...

The point I'm making, I guess, how come "head-music" doesn't get as much shine as "club music"? It's ALWAYS about selling records and competition.....what happened to the music?

I don't know why we haven't cracked into Cin City yet, all this time? I'm feeling like ALL OR NOTHING  all the time.

P.E.A.C.E

P.S~I gotta crack down on my condescending tone apparently...

Future Moves

If you haven't seen the new thing we're doing here, you're late. Y'all screamin', "Lettuce ketchup!" Time to bring you up to speed. We want this show in Milwaukee. All you do is, click the Demand It link on the right of our page, fill out your email and send it! It's that easy. We had some Facefucks decline our event invitation like it's a place you go.....simpletons.

So, along with that, we're discussing M.T. Bag business. Cin City is still on the road here, yupp......Apparently, the Sp00ks & Sp00ns has not met the quality our early fans were expecting. Cin City is gonna make you think.....a little bit. We got this other one I mentioned months ago that is officially back in production: With Flying Colors. Let me break it down to you....

Supply & Demand

"The stars are aligned in my favor, it's about time." Dig it, so, Fauste is hustling hard for M.T. Bag. I can finally give him ze props he deserves. We went from 48hundred, to 5 g's in about three days. Shortly after 5g's, we're close to 5100, so, I'm thoroughly convinced we're getting some eyes and ears. Sweet!

If you don't know, here we go. Weekly updates will follow as well, in case you're an easy forgetter. We got this Demand Us thing. All you do, is say you want us in your town, we need like 500 of you muthafuckas to demand us. When we get like 500ish, we'll be eligible to perform in Milwalky (excuse me spelling). You get it, though. Also! We could have a show in the Fall at UC's Catskeller. Looking forward to the summer tour, we're making big moves right now. Cin City, definitely on the way. If this comes out in cursive, excuse it, if it doesn't, neverminded. It's about to be done REAL BIG.

Once again, demand us, cuz we got the supply.....or, be buying, cuz, we're sellin'.......uh, insert some fly drug joke in here.

You mad 'cuz I'm stylin on you?!

Carousing through the ol' facebook and while doing so I saw that fellow artist Jaye Cane entered in the summerfest contest also. He's like #3...keep in mind we #284-285. So I comment on his status saying "Good luck man. Our band just entered" Does that sound intimidating or asshole? HMM, no, not at all. I simply just stated a fact that our band entered while wishing him good luck damnit. He deletes my comment and I'm like "WHOA!" So in my rage I post back "Way to delete my comment guy, can't handle competition huh?. I just said "good luck".

Dude, chill out and realize that your ahead of the race and we probably won't make it. If anything you could have said good luck back, talk shit back whatever. Dont be like that and delete my comment, kid. Insecurity ain't a good look man, lol.

And on that ♫ .....

You like that tag, MZA ahaha....

I didnt provoke nothing...come on, he so afar ahead man. Chill Cane. M.T.B.A.G. , HEAUX

4/21: The Day After

Man. 4/20. That was something else. Word up. I've never been that blitzed. Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist...still haven't seen it all. Pokemon The Movie, didn't watch it. Should've. Green Team is still good. Green League, yessir. I see Fauste is getting his swag on. "I'm swaggin', I'm surfin'." Ha.

I feel cleansed. Maybe, I still be the eastern philosopher lover boy. Hmm...Afghani Goo, Dro, Kush, Reggies, it was all there. Feelin' crazy for skippin' town. It's all good. I'm enjoying it.

I wish we were performing. That would be cool. I'm probably not gonna stop smoking because I haven't thus far. Oh well. Maybe next year, Green Team are jerks towards to each other.

Lettin' you know we still alive.

Rockstar rap, B-Boys say I'm dope like Cobain

Wat it does, this Fauste and before I post up (pun intended) I want to say this: don't NEVER doubt me...I know what I'm talkin' about even if it sounds far fetched and selfish....ask her....ANYWAY. As of right now, Sp00ks and Sp00ns is done and is currently in circulation. Just hit up (513) 377-3719 for a copy. I usually hang around UC and Mt. Healthy but I do deliver. For my out of city/state comrades a download link shall be in running condition soon.

Now, we have Cin City to complete and by the looks of Boogie-Mon's verses and Murdock's expected lyrix, this shall be monstorous. I have yet to hear from Skeem though but people stay tuned as we drop more updates, hopefully a song or three.

In other news, Boogie and our good friend from high school, Mphamous are collaborating on a song so that will be interesting indeed as Mphamous fuses Rock n' Roll with Hip-Hop beats...goodie... I plan on having an album with one of my good friends from work, Lamar and it fuses the same styles so "has M.T. Bag gone Rock?" Nope, we just expand our horizons. Im sure boogie still writes his songs for both R and B and Rock. That's the key to the door of fame. Do not limit yourself, which is why I say this: I will buy the Rebirth and the Alternate copy of 808's. I appreciate those who are different but do it in a way that leads to good music.

Which is why as song as I step foot on Wright's campus, I'm collaborating with EVERYBODY! I'm pullin' an M.O. (inside joke). While we still crank out this thizzle ass music and network, I just want to improve on my craft by being around all walks of life, can you dig THAT SUCKA?!

In short look out for Cin City sometime before July......Boogie-mon and Mphamous' track soon, I suppose.....and The Re(-e)volution soon, I can tell you that recording starts mid-May.....and be prepared to see us ALOT at Baba Budan's (shouts) and the Mad Frog (shouts) this summer starting mid-June.

P.S.- Because I think Murdock is still zombified from 4/20 and an overload of Dat Gooey Stuff, I decided to post today to keep 'ish current, plus don't ya'll love it when you can say that ya know that your fav group of emcees is dropping again AND expanding?! Sorry to hear bout 'ol girl's relationship change...it seemed peachy...oh well, I told her.

Dare to Dream:

One time for your mind...

I promised I would never type these kind of posts but WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH WOMEN! Ya'll or the most picky, indecisive, ungrateful, siddity creatures God put on this Earth yet us, as men are attracted to your "ass"ets. That's it! We don't want you for relationships...just to fuck...I wish that was true but it's not and you know it's not so why must your persistently look over the "good guy" the "underdog", the guy friend who was always their but you never noticed him. This is life and not a fucking Disney movie where prince charming comes through in the end. Stop generalizing men. I mean, ya get tight when we call ya "hoes" and "bitches" but we can't get mad when we are called "dogs", "niggas", and "pussies". That shit cracks me up man.

See, I dont know what percentage of our viewers are women so I apologize for generalizing and maybe you should stop putting off the obvious and give that guy who may not be Kappa nigga or a GQ guy or even a "Goon" because he can probably still whoop ass...he just doesn't grip his nuts and shout it from the rooftop. If you wan respect, give it...don't assume that "one" will run into you because I guarantee you all it is is a man who wants to get his rocks off.

That's all... I'm done. P.E.A.C.E.

The Saga Continues

I was browsing through the most recent issue of XXL and I read the Rick Ross story. By now everyone in the know, knows about Rick Ross being a Correctional Officer prior to his rap career. In the words of XXL, he was, "Hip-Hop's Milli Vanilli." Damn.

 Despite the time he tried to deny his ties to the law, Ross was openly willing to admit that he indeed used to be a C.O. Either, he's a hoax: he was a C.O. and made up his image, or, his lie is air tight: he stated that he took the job for reasons of the street. "I don't care either way." What really matters in this era, at least to me, is the music. Cocaina pusherman or not, his music is still damn good, and no matter what you'll never take that from him. I admit, Port Of Miami wasn't that good to me. From what I've heard of Trilla, he totally stepped it up, and Deeper Than Rap looks even more promising. I wish Ross the best of luck, he seems to be handling the pressure quite well.

"Guess who's back, back again?" It's been three years since Eminem was heard on a full length album, and five since he put out his own release. Em' is back on that Eminem shit. I had the chance to see an excerpt of his interview for next month's issue. He talks about how T.I. and Lil' Wayne are really the only ones still doing it...Hmm.....He also discusses how today's music is watered down to "The hook and the beat." He says there is no more substance, which is true. It seems all you need is a decent beat and a catchy hook, it doesn't matter what you say on the verse. The part that is usually ringtoned is the chorus anyway.

This circulates back to the Rick Ross issue. New York rappers are pissed off because they feel the South is the reason lyricism isn't important anymore. I don't think it's the South's fault. Music is expression, and that's how the South gets down, partying, Sizzurp, and getting Crunk, ha! South rappers accuse other regions of biting their sound. Joel Ortiz justifies this by saying, if that's what's hot, and they play nothing else, you can't help but to adapt. Ortiz feels like he sunk to a bullshit level after making a "strip club" song for the sake of being played. He also got pissed at his label for trying to pair him "other" artists. He talked about how Saigon's label wanted to match him up with Pretty Ricky, really?

What is this business coming to? I'm feeling like M.T. Bag is the only hope for this game, but I fear by the time we make it into the rat race, the business would have imploded by then....No more Hip-Hop? That's why n!99@$ are a super group, save the music.

The Thuggish Ruggish Bag

"Stalkin' gat fools, walkin' jack moves."

I'm at the Fauste house listening to some Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Came from Stuntman's a lot earlier. He had himself a cute baby, but that didn't stop him from getting a royal ass whooping in some games. (Soul Calibur III and Mortal Kombat: Deception)

I was listening to some verses from the Fauste Meister, I can't wait for Cin City to come out. People are really liking the story. This is when the kid feels flattered. I feel my ideas are coming to life and such. Anyway, I thought about the original Third Worldians and how we compare to Bone.....the rappers anyway. This is done in order of the picture above, in case you're not Bone savvy.

KRAYZIE BONE: I think I'm closest to Krayzie because he calls himself Leatherface, and I'm Niggaface...ha. Usually, Krayzie is the considered the leader, I claim foreman, no heirarchy. Besides these, I'm kinda singled out for the reasons I'ma give on the other ones.

LAYZIE BONE: This one is Ace Boogie. There's a lyric in the song "Creepin' On Ah Come Up", "dressed in black, wearin' make-up on my face." This lyric reminds me of a song he and I did "Spy Vs. Spy", where he said, "I paint my face like a clown." Ha. Okay, just reminded.

BIZZY BONE: Most definitely Stuntman. Out of control flow, and pretty damn violent, yet religious at the same time.

FLESH-N-BONE: Skeem, yes. Most likely to go to jail AND go directly back.....haha, no hate, or wishing that upon you. Also, known to leave the group, or not be present. Topics are similar too.

WISH BONE: FAUSTE! Some believe Wish ruins the group, I think he's nice, it's just sometimes, he drops the pace. Not saying that about Fasute. I compare these two because in both of these rapper's lyrics, you are "taken there." Quite visual, I mean. Dig it?

Probably should sleep. "Love Lockdown" ain't old to me yet, "you looooose!"

Me Likey

Can you say appeal? "A peel?" No, silly, "Appeal". "Cop a feel?" Forget it?

Anyways, The Chef is hard at work doing his UC duties, just like Ace and I did at Wright State. I'm not there to see the progress, but I'm sure I'll receive a lukewarm welcome Friday. Chef says he distributed the sound and such to his English class, the peers AND the teach. "Cook beans!" It's about damn time, I thought we'd never drop a CD on the welcome mat of UC, but now the word is getting out.

The sound of M.T. Bag continues to spread like lung cancer, and people are left breathless after hearing the sound experience. So, what does this mean? We're starting to reach out to more audiences, just like the "master" plan said. The gangstas like our shit because, as of recently, the beats are getting that "wang" in them. The old folks like our shit because, it's not"gun poppin' nonsense". The kids like our shit because they're kids. Heauxs, P.A.N.C.A.K.E.S, single ladies, and such like our shit because we got it like that. It's only a matter of time. I mean, I've NEVER heard anybody say we suck, so that's a good sign. I'ma tell you what Czar*Nok told me, "You can only keep getting better." Pimp Tight!

The Chef keeps telling me about how people dig my beats and such. My response: "I know." No cocky. When you make beats, they're either 100% nice or they're not, simply put. We wouldn't rap on a garbage beat and expect you to listen to it. So when "Cincinnati's Finest" or "Nikes & Pumas" comes on, you and I know what's goin' on.

My "The, The Affiliates, Boy!" section is gonna start to grow, people think it's a nice concept. I agree. This is a decent opportunity for y'all n!99@$, once again, no cocky. When/if we make it to the top, y'all automatically come with us, and vice versa if y'all push us like we do y'all. "I just copped that M.T. Bag album. Let's go their website...Who are all these people? Let's check out their music too." You see?

By the way, South Park deserves some kind of award. Last night's episode wasn't epic, but it was still pretty good. "Oh my God!!! Not FINNNNNLAAAANNNDD!!!"

"I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny, when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and puts that round thing in your face, you get SPRUNG!"

These are probably the most famous lyrics on the planet, okay, maybe, the United States. Regardless, Sir Mix-A-Lot has been living off of this one song for the latter part of his career. When you think of Mr.A-Lot, how many songs do you know by him?......................................I thought so. The man has 6 studio albums, with his most recent released in 2003, bet you didn't know that! His bread and butter song, "Baby Got Back" came off of his third album. Today's post is like the "If You Play With Skills..." post. One song is all it takes to really survive in Pop Culture, not the music biz, however.

So, where else can allegories to Mix-A-Lot's hit be found? Was that Shrek part one or part two? Remember the music mash-up? "I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny, when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and puts that round thing in your face you get (FEELINGS)". It was funny....Remember Robot Chicken's "Table Be Round"?


If you've seen commercials today, you probably laid eyes on Burger King's Spongebob Squarepants campaign.

A Little Slice Of Heaven

Empathy has spent his entire life(thus far), living in the continental U.S. So, I dunno what it's like overseas, I just hope the Russians love their children too. Since I only know American living, is it just us, or do we think more of ourselves , over here, than the rest of the world?

(The Late Pimp C)

It's pretty popular in the rap music, this boasting thing we do. When emcees started getting paid, the content changed from real life to, rims, chains, alchy, heauxs, et cetera. Every other emcee thinks they're God because they can rhyme, ooh, rhyme, "does it do anything else?"

I'm gonna give musicians a break today for a change. Today's spotlight focuses on your average individual. There's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with self-confidence. After all, it is what is needed to stay alive in today's world. I think we all get a little ahead of ourselves sometimes. Rakim was voted by Hip-Hop heads as The God Emcee. Jay-Z refers to himself as Hov, as in Jehovah. Nas calls himself God's Son. Lil Wayne thinks he's some kinda demi-God because he can rap, I seen a little girl on TV that'll shit on him. Kanye West with his out of this world ego......We all need to sit down and think about it.

Back to the average person. Today's generation of women are under the influence that their shit don't stank......Why? It's the music. Highly influenced by egotistical women like Beyonce, and.....that's about it. Who do the little boys have to look up to music wise today, Wayne, and.....that's about it.

It also trips me out how much money is the topic of music, and has been for over a decade. I especially don't like hypocrites, except myself....We can't tell the media we care about world hunger and The Virus, and then turn around and say, "Y'all broke N!99@$." At one point, Mr or Mrs Artist, weren't you broke too, now you talkin' wallet shit? Comparing wallets is plain stupid and OLD. Just because you make more mone than I, doesn't make you a better person than. Not by a long shot. That shit talk feeds ever going stereotypes and mind states: Gold Digging, Pimping, Boasting, Wack Lyrics, Bad Music, et cetera. This is why Hip-Hop is dying and people are pointing fingers in the wrong direction.

I've heard accusations from all over the place. Soulja Boy, he does his thing, it may not be that great, but he appeals to an audience being him, that's Hip-Hop. The South as a whole, Trapping, Crack, Chevy's, et cetera, that's what they do, not all of them, but if it's you, it's Hip-Hop. Unless you're faking your image, if you don't warn people you're making music through a persona and claim that's your life, you're killing it. Shouts out to Rick Ross, his music is still good though. West Coast, Lo Lo's, Chronic, Drive By's, if that's you, that's Hip-Hop. Mid-West n!99@$ are going through identity crisis right now. If you wanna act like you're from the South, go ahead, and keep murdering the music for real n!992$ tryna do it. We don't mind, it's okay, you just won't make it anywhere.

Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood.

Under A Rock I've Been Living

Let me get real for a minute....I NEVER watched Making The Band until the tail end of season 3. When Danity Kane was working on album two, Donny was solo, and Day 26 got together. I saw ONE episode of that season. Thus far, I'm beating that record this season with a whopping TWO episodes. What's common knowledge to you, is news to me. Czech it:

(Day 26)

I didn't know these dudes were putting out album two. I mean, they were talking about this being their second album coming out, but I never heard anything from them until the Diddy and Yung Joc song. I feel left behind.

(Aubrey "Drake" Graham)

Burnz has been watching Degrassi for as long as I can remember. He kept telling me how good it was, I only took his word for it. In my lifetime, I've probably watched a grand total of: 9 minutes of this show. When this Drake character came out, I decided to spot this cat on his show. "He's in a wheelchair, now these heauxs on his jock?" The Canadian 'Crippler' changed his image QUICK! All of a sudden he's a n!99@ now....Either way, I can't wait for the album.....oh, my point on this guy, I didn't know how popular he was. He's touring all over the places. Kudo.

(Lark Voorhis)

While I was looking up Asher Roth's "Lark On My Go Kart", I stumbled upon a fact I found funny. Lisa Turtle is a singer. Apparently, her single came out back in January. The song was called "Saturday", I think. "I never heard of it."

"And if you don't know, now, you know."

On my grown man shit real proper like for the 2k9 representing out of the that good nasty nati you know that one way type shit ya dig im swaggin boi

Hahaha, excuse the title, it was a very random moment in the life of Fauste. But dig, right about now I want to give you a play by play of how we as a group as grown and do my periodical thing of comparing us because I feel some may still not know us so its always good to "give an idea of", so dig. But Im switching it up and showing you our potential...ah! In the form of how XXL does it. (note: all pics of said people will be shown at the end)

Skeem(-ilton) - Name: TwoFace/ Skeem

Sounds Like: Ace Hood meets 3 6 Mafia

Notes: He has alot of potential to be a leader in an attempt to bring gangster rap
back. He has the slow and hype flow of a 3 6 Mafia but not so syrupy but
still can kick catchy lyrics that are suitable for radio play like a Ace Hood
and that's not bad because it gets attention.

Side Hustles: Running that good trap-a-thon (had to do it, just laughs) and your
girlfriend.


Matt Murdock- Name: MZA, Murdock

Sounds Like: Murs

Notes: This guy obviously knows what he's doing when it comes to FL Studio but as far as rap he has the mid-tempo flow that Murs has. He is our in-house producer/ founder of Third World Records.

Side Hustle: Running http://www.mtbag.blogspot.com and Producing


Ace Chase- Name: Inspectah West, The Flash, Ace Boogie

Sounds Like: Eminem meets Ludacris

Notes: "Full-time student, Part-time stoner" this guy has all the capabilities to make it solo but seems to fit better in a group setting. His style was polished and fine-tuned by MZA but he's grown into something nasty.

Side Hustle: Student Gov't, Green Team and Green League...(yes, we have a minor league playboy..."how come you in GT automatcially....I was blessed in bitch! I still hold my own though), Organizing sessions and what-have-you-not.


Shaun Fauste- Name: Ghrim, "Iffy Fauste", and depending who you are,Rashaun

Sounds Like: ???

Notes: Honestly and wierdly enough I dont know who I sound like but when I found out I'll let you know or maybe someone in the group can tell me. I want to say Kanye, Drake or Wale, maybe Cudi

Side Hustle: Songwriting, ghostwriting and poetry






From Left to Right: Murdock, Ace, Skeem, and Fauste

Fecthing Water From The Mainstream

It's common knowledge, the best music on the planet is, music that isn't created for the purpose of radio play. Listen to M.T. Bag. Some songs are radio worthy, that's a coincidence. We don't ever get in the studio like, "This is about to be a radio joint, right here." Not the goal. The look at these albums made by people who care about the sound, not the renown.

Revolutionary Volume 1--Immortal Technique. Immortal could've been mainstream years ago, but he refused to sign a contract if it meant he had to sacrifice his style. This proves to you it's not always about the money. This is one of the best underground albums I've ever heard, so much so, I went out and bought it. He's like the only artist with words on politics that I'm willing to listen to. His delivery makes it so not boring. I think he shouted us out with his third album, Third World.

Monkey Business--Black Eyed Peas. Don't lie, you love this album too. "Humps", you were singing it too. "Don't Lie", "Like That", it's all there. I don't know shit about either member of the group, but when they drop, it's ALWAYS good music. Keep it up, kiddos.

4,5,6--Kool G Rap. Easily THE best gangster album ever created. Back in the day when selling records wasn't a priority. This goes in my category of albums you don't push fast forward once on. It's just meant to be played front to back. GOLDEN.

I'm out. Listening to M.T. Bag: "Only A Feeling", it warps in and out, that's why I don't listen to it.

Million Dollar Dream

I can't believe it leaked....This makes me wonder, how do albums leak? It HAS to be somebody within, right?

Anyway, originally titled: The Greatest Hits Of Asher Roth, or was it, The Best Of Asher Roth? I don't remember, either way, I'm over his title change. The album features production from Don Cannon and mostly Oren Yoel. It includes some guests I would expect and others I wouldn't: Cee-Lo, Busta Rhymes, Keri Hilson, Jazze Pha(where you been at?), Beanie Sigel(?), and Chester French. Sounds hot. I'm not gonna download it immediately, not to say I'm not expecting some dopery. Where's the rest of the Class of 2009, y'all sleepin'?

SNES 1995(Stompin' N!99@$ Ever Since 1995)

I know there's a small community of people who still own Super Nintendos. If this is the case, I composed a list of SNES games that little to no people can give me competition in.

(Super Mario Kart)

The character of choice is Koopa, but I'll dust you, EVEN with Donkey Kong. Race or Battle, the game is TOO simple for me to lose it. I'm pretty decent at the more recent installments as well, but I wouldn't dare boast with those.

(Super Marios Bros. 3, though)

On this version of Mario, when you go to Super Marios Bros. 3, there's a Battle Mode. Once again, it's too simple. There is NO point of playing this game, but I cannot be stopped.

(NBA Jam: Tournament Edition)

I count count on one hand the number of people who can beat me in this game, other than that, you can't touch this.

(Super Street Fighter II)

Before the introduction of Focus Attacks, Ultra, Super, et cetera, I ruled the screen with Ryu and the Hadoken. Days turned to Weeks, Weeks turned to Months, and Months turned to Years of Zoning and Spacing in this game. No matter my opponent, Ken is ALWAYS their pick, why? Besides that fire Dragon Punch, he doesn't do anything for me.

P.E.A.C.E

"Keep That White Girl"

I was looking up old songs from the Thousands and such. I stumbled upon Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty" with Redman. Though that song came off of her album, Stripped, it made me think of Back To Basics. Why? Pop artists working with Hip Hop folks is like the best thing since the meeting of Peanut Butter and Jelly. Trip with me as we look at the Hip Hop producers and Pop stars of our time.

(Christin Aguilera & DJ Premier)

Christina reached out to Primo. Primo was confused like, "Does she know who I am?" Putting five songs on Back To Basics, inducted Mr. Gang Starr into the Pop world. Really worth your listen.

(Pharrell & Britney Spears)

'Til this day, the illest Britney Spears song I've EVER heard is "Slave 4 U". Your regular Neptunes beat, not your usual Britney.......Really nothing else to say.....

(Gwen Stefani & Pharrell)

After No Doubt success, the band split. Why? I dunno. Out of nowhere, I heard "Rich Girl" or "Holla Back Girl" or "Harajuku Girls" and was like, "No Doubt REALLY changed their sound." I was told it was JUST Gwen. Wow, how long's this gonna last? Two albums later, it's pretty evident Gwen doesn't need No Doubt. I do doubt she'll NEVER make another classic song as long as she lives because she's doing this Hip-Hop Pop thing. You don't go from being in the illest band on the planet to, featuring on songs with Pharrell and making music with Slim Thug......Hmmm.....

 (Black Eyed Peas)

For the record, Monkey Business is THE BEST MUSIC EVER. For another record, doesn't Taboo look like Snoop Dogg's character on The Boondocks? Anyway, as of recent times, THE ONLY voices you hear from the Black Eyed Peas are will.i.am and Fergie. I've seen some productions credited to will.i.am and Fergie sings AND 'raps', this counts as a Hip-Hop Pop duo.....

(Timbaland & Justin Timberlake)

Ok....not a white girl, but the same rules apply. As soon as Timberlake departed from N'Sync, Hip-Hop producers were breaking his door down to make music with him. Ok......so the only big names I'm aware of are The Neptunes and Timbaland. Side note: It seems you get the total package if you get a Timbaland beat, Justin comes with it apparently.

A Simple Reflection

As I look back on this life I have been able to lead thus far, it makes me ponder, "where do I go next?" I'm in a quasi-successful band with an equally successful blog (shouts to our followers) and I am able to go to college. Everything seems perfect. I wish. It's almost been six months and I still feel that our house is empty like He is missing and whenever I come home I, for a brief moment anticipate his body to walk through to greet me and ask how was my day. It hurts and I cry as I type this but it is healthy I know because in writing this I can give myself closure. I miss my father and it hit me when He visited my mother in a dream and told her that the only thing missing was her. I wonder why he never visited me or why can't I feel his presence, it was the same with my grandmother. I have done alot of bad things in my life and hurt alot of people and I don't know can be forgiven when I approach St. Peter but I look on ways to atone everyday but I also pray that maybe He can visit me in my dreams. 6 months...and it still feels like my body is in limbo ready to be woken up from this horrible dream. My mother hasn't gotten a decent night of sleep in that time period and I'm barely around because being in that house doesn't feel right so I search for meaning, mostly in women and relationships, I never broke down because I always had my parents to flush even the most shitty days but now I have to deal with my own thoughts and I feel sometimes that I am losing grip on reality and days get longer and more monotonous and I wouldnt be bad but there is no one beside me. So I decided with this, I will no longer post about these type of things. It is depressing and life must be lead how I see fit now, within the lessons that my Father, Jerome (he had no middle name MZA too) Belcher left me....

I am Sheldon Rashaun Belcher. I am 19 years of age and I aspire to become a great musician and to that end I will do it by any means. I loved only three girls in my life, one broke my heart, one left, and I never got a chance to show that affection towards the other. I'm falling but I will be okay. I realized that I will always be watched by the two figures I only feared with love...God and my Father.

Just because we act mature, every now and then...I have to act my age : ) I just might be okay.

"Let Me Upgrade Ya"

Today(yesterday now) started like any other day. I decided, I'ma do something different today. I hit my boy Joe up. He told me he was about to shoot a music video, so I asked to participate. I had to go to the Federal Building Downtown and fill out an SS5 form to correct my Social Security on my Income Tax. A guy started telling me his life story and shit, turns out, I was in the wrong room. I took a ticket in the next room and all I had to do was sign and date my name, SWEET! I dipped to catch the 17. On the bus, a lady wanted to sell me batteries. iPod, thank you, though. I made my way to Cincinnati State.

I sat on the steps leading to the community college and smoked a Black while I waited, yeah. I got alerted by a hustler man. He showed me his movies and CD's. I didn't quite care. He pulled out pornography and I handed him $5...........my thoughts: "These bitches are fine, but I'll be damned, it's exclusively anal.....at least the bitches are fine." I met Joe halfway and we proceeded to walk from Clifton to Camp Washington. On the trip, he explained to me his rap group, GEEK: Giving Everybody Everywhere Knowledge. I can get behind that!!!

We arrived at DJ Iron Chef's house. I showed them how I use Fruity Loops and they both learned something. Cool. Joe decided not to do the video that day, but I wouldn't leave until I had something. We had a fake battle, it was funny....Why come every time I freestyle, it comes out vulgar like Luke?


Haha, I like how he zoomed in our shoes. It's in HD.....by the way.

I checked Facebook to find that I had like 50 notifications. I saw NOBODY online except this one chick. In front of the homies, I decided to be free. So I chatted with her. I told her, "I'm visiting your school on the 20th, when I get there, we gon' do the bedroom boom." She was like, "What?" I said, "Dead ass." She was like, "Why am I a dead ass?" I was like ,"You don't get me." She was like, "No, lol, I don't." So, I said as blatantly as I could put it, "When I get up there, I am going to fuck you." She was like, "Okay." Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Accomplishment/Who Cares?......That's what I was thinking. Thus far, I got a one vote for Pimp Move, and a denial. One more vote....

Me and Joe dipped and went back to his crib. We got DRENCHED in the rain! I started making a "crunk" beat and we came up with an idea to it: "GANGSTA ASS NIGGAS ON THE BLOCK SELLIN' CRACK!" Gotta love it.

In other news, I just built M.O's blog: www.affiliatesboy.blogspot.com.

In other, other news, video game companies are planning the release of the next generation of gaming as we speak. Microsoft with their petnamed Xbox, the Xbox 720, and Sony with PS4. Nintendo claims Wii2, but that sounds like it sucks. Y'all got less than a year to get y'all things together, good luck.

P.S~Ugly sides are pretty damn UGLY....

New Man, Present Wants, Old Thoughts

In recent events I had to turn a new leaf, you see I learned that to live life stressed over things all the time isnt healthy but what gets me is that I can never help but wonder "what does it all mean?" The pain, the struggle, the grief and what-not. In the end is it worth all that we endure, is there a rainbow at the end of the road. You tell me, right now, I decided to just live this lif with every last breath I have. I still have needs, evident by the fact that I still like this chick at my job but you know, I feel if it's my due time then it will naturally work itself out right? Somethin' has to...thats's always the plan that people fall back on it is a shame because it holds us back. If we fail then we are more than capable to pick ourselves up and keep tryin', especially if you know you want this, this being whatever you desire.

Me, I desire a girlfriend, looks are not that important, a little confidence in herself but can still hold the fort down and won't be swayed when we fight or things turn sour. We all fall, it is how we get up that determines how we succeed. Maybe, I will find that girl, maybe not, eh being a playboy isnt all bad...I have willpower to a degree. But if I dont ever get her then I feel I will be okay for I did alright and there was someone else I liked before talking to her. It's just nice to wish.

In other news, MZA comin down Friday to UC...

Don't Blink, You Might Miss Something

Man, last week I didn't know which way was up. Bronchitis had me lights out like James Tony. I missed South Park and I missed Taking The Stage. The highlights of my week nowadays. Apparently, Kanye West got bashed on South Park with "Gay Fish", the rip of "Heartless".

I guess it's one of those things you'd have to see to understand it, because honestly, this doesn't make sense to me. BUT.....that IS South Park for you. I've seen mixed reactions, some folks say West was offended, according to him it was funny. I just put the song on my iPod....I didn't know Trey Parker could rap. It's a decent parody, I don't think they did the best they could do with it.

I took the liberty to add all the Taking The Stage kids who weren't already my friend prior to the show. I saw Tyler's wall. He's got all these lil heauxs on his wall like, "I think you're an amazing dancer!" Damn, he's clocking more heauxs than The Bag just for dancing. I just suggests he keeps doing his thing.

In other news, The official M.O blogspot goes live sometime today, I can't wait! This should really be fun. I talked to ol' boy, he said the point of the blog is to: talk shit about other rappers, give updates of his music and create a business on his music. Fun! Fun! Fun!

And I'm out!

Bet You Can't Beat Me

I hear a lot this and that of who the best is at what. Jay-Z claimed to be Best Rapper Alive, then Wayne followed and held it down. Charles Hamilton claims to be Best Blogger Alive. In due time, I could be "Mr.Alladat Shit", but for now, I'm taking, Best Street Fighter Alive! That's ME. Nobody can take that from me. I mean NOBODY!

I went to Boogie's Friday, and by Friday night, I was back again. We picked up directly where we left off in this game. I give kudos to this installment because it has been the SAME game since day one, except part one. Part one was like Final Fight, which is kinda credited as the sequel to the first installment of Street Fighter. A 2-D side-scroller, just nothing but ass whippin's. Dig it?

Boogie bought the strategy guide to SFIV, and the strategy that is my bread-and-butter is called "Zoning and Spacing". I thought this strategy was monumental, it's just hard to stop. If you know how to do it, fights last forever, cuz we do the same thing.  If you own an Xbox 360 with a Live  subscription, bet on me in tournaments, I'll bring home the bacon. Seriously, I am willing to bet you, NOBODY on this planet can stop me in this game. I've met my matches in Halo, but I'ma 90s baby, you can't stop the Street Fighter.

In other news, M.O. is coming out with a blogspot. I don't know the address yet, but when it goes live, you'll be the first to know. Still hopeful about that 4/20 show.

If you play Street Fighter, holler at me. I'll doo doo on you....

P.S~The Emcee That Never Sleeps, except those times

"Junya Watanabe, Goddamn You!"

For some odd reason, watching the Wonder Pets makes me think about shoes. Apart from recently finding an infatuation with these t-shirts:

I've also done some more research on these Japanese designers after doing the "Gold Watch" post. Junya Watanabe made the illest Nikes that'll go nicely with these shirts:

They remind me of Reebok Classics. I'd donate a gallon of blood and a teste full of sperm for a few pairs of these shoes. What do I need with those when I can have these? Right?

I don't care much for accessories. NEVER been an earring guy, I don't really wear hats, though I can pick 'em, and tattoos, I doubt if I could commit to one. The number one accessory I don't really approve of ever since the cellular phone came out, the watch. But anything BAPE that isn't their shoes, hypnotizes me. Jacob X BAPE, what?

This is old news, but for those of you who come through and wanna learn something, I got something else for you. Lifted Research Group is on their grown clothes shit. They sell more than basic garments now. By basic, I mean, shirts, jeans, hats, jackets, all the et ceteras. Now these n!99@$ are tryna invade your hamper:

 

 

They'll have the game on lock if they produce bras and panties out of Luxirie.......I was just tryna broaden my topics a little bit....since all I ever talk about by default is, Music, Gaming, Movies, and Pornography. Tune in next time when we put up pictures of the M.T. Bag Mobile, maybe. When you see that car and like thirty n!99@$ hop out with mics, you know you in trouble!

And you say Cin City!

Spy Vs. Spy/ Othello

If living on this planet taught me something, it's gotta be, Black Versus White are ALWAYS the most epic battles. Blue and Red come close, but nothing is more epic than Black and White. Yin(g) Yang. Spy Vs. Spy. Othello and Iago......well, that's all I can think of for now. So Beyonce is going to attempt to diversify her acting skills with the Fatal Attraction-esque flick, Obsessed. It's like Ebony and Ivory is the thing to do nowadays. Remember this?

I loved this song AND the video. Not too afraid to break down those color barriers. This next one has got some people airing out their shirts by the collar.


This definitely has my vote for sexiest video of the year, perhaps, all time. There's one small, non-sexy part of this video. Ciara puts herself on the horizontal pole and looks like she's being rotisseried. Other than that, I can literally smell it coming out of the screen.
