Favorite Album of 2010

How could you go wrong with this album. I dont think you can. Yes, it easy to jump on the bandwagon of XXL and The Source, but when I have been a fan of Kanye's since College Dropout to 808 & Heartbreaks it only makes scence. This albums seemed to be a coming of age for Kanye, his hiatus had been the 1st break since his mother passing. Ye' pours his heart out in every song. From "Blame Game" to "Hell of A Life" Kanye's album shows that moving to Hawaii and putting yourself in isolation is a great way to make the album of the year.  The G.O.O.D Friday music drops also served a teaser to the eventual classic. Although the album was leaked early. The masses still went out to buy the album and support Kanye trophy album. Many classic lines: "When you chase the pussy it's a sin/But if it fall in your lap, it's a blessing." ,  "And I know it’s superficial and you say it’s just clothes/But we shopping in that motherfucker and it just closed.". Well calculated moves are what made this album so dope. How could you not drop an album at the end of the year and have it not be considered dope especially since Kanye has been known to be in the spotlight like with Taylor Swift, running on stage acting a fool and oh course the "George Bush, doesn't like black people" statement.

Brotherly Love?



Philadelphia happens to be my favorite football team and this topic has been on my mind for sometime now. Philly really loves it brothers, from McNabb to Allen Iverson to Michael Vick. We all know A.I used to rule the hardwood back in the 90's until he decided he was bigger than then the team and never wanted to show up for PRACTICE!
As for football in the 1999 NFL draft Philly was booood for their 1st round pick of Donavan McNabb, which in the end turned out to be probably the best decision they could have made. This year the love continued by trading their 1st love for their second love and much younger running threat. Yes, the dog fighter its an unfortunate title and I wish it didn't follow him around but he did the crime.
My really reason for this post is to ask: why does Philly always take a chance on the risky brothers, but are ready to ship them out when they not longer can produce. Maybe its sports, but I think for a much as Philly loves you, they can hate you just as fast. It could just be me but let me know what you think. Just on of those opinion posts.
