Today: Thanksgiving, Tomorrow: Black Friday

-

It's Thanksgiving, so I'm gonna keep it brief, but...Happy Thanksgiving, folks! I know most of you are probably going ham on some turkey and chopping it up with your families, followed by a family viewing of some good ole' traditional football. There's nothing more heart-warming than being around your family (unless they're dysfunctional) and eating a big, unhealthy dinner. Ahhh, Thanksgiving.

 Adrian Peterson All-Madden stiff arm.

All of that goes out the window at 12 o'clock, though. People go from being thankful to being greedy in under 60 seconds. People leave from their families to go act like animals in front of retail stores. Hell, some people don't even spend time with their families (like these idiots), they skip out on Thanksgiving to be vanity slaves and greedy consumers. I'm not complaining, though. I get to be entertained by you idiots. I get to watch Worldstar fights because y'all wanna fight over Xboxes. Weren't you just standing in a circle the day before talking about what you were thankful for? Act like it, fam. So you're going to talk about how thankful you are for family, then go and beat up somebody's family member for a HDTV? Cool...cool. They're already raping your pockets with fake deals. Now you're gonna get beat and go home broke. You gotta go home and explain to your wife and kids that got faded for an iPad and still came home empty handed. Crazy right? Now your kids aren't gonna respect you when you tell them to do something, and your wife is gonna walk all over you.

White Friday


In all seriousness, though...Black Friday is such a scam to me. People spend MORE money on a day meant for discounts. A good percentage of these people are living paycheck-to-paycheck, so why drive yourself deeper into the hole trying to buy expensive gadgets. Your Christmas is gonna be looking nice, but guess who's gonna be broke in January. Guess who's gonna drive themselves deeper into credit card debt. This is all happening because they gradually raised the prices before Black Friday, then lowered them back on Black Friday. Congratulations, stupid.

Should Hip Hop Have Labels? Conscious VS Trap

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow.

Single Life, Relationship, or Situationship ? #30DayBlogChallenge

Day 11 Well my current relationship status is single. At the age of 22, being single have its ups and downs of course. I've developed a lot of mixed emotions about the single life. In 2014 I broke up with my ex boy friend of two years and I've been back "on the market" since. I enjoy having the freedom of not really answering to anyone about who, what, when, where I'm doing whatever it is I'm doing, but the single life does get lonely sometimes. Since my break up there's one guy that truly caught my interest and our situationship has been a complete roller coaster and I'm not sure it's even worth the ride. Wait, let me go back and define what a situationship is in case you've never heard of the term.  A situationship is  basically a pseudo-relationship masking itself as a formative relationship. It smells like a relationship, it sorta looks like a relationship, and it may even feel like one, but it's not. So yeah for those of you o
