MOVIE REVIEW - THE WARRIORS WAY (THIS IS A MUST SEE!)
What's Crack'n People!
Imagine the graphics and animation of "The Matrix" or "Lord Of The Rings" the action of "The Terminator" or "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" now imagine the suspense "Jonah Hex" and visual effects of "Ghost Rider" rolled into on remarkable film and you have "The Warriors Way"! Now I am a huge action film but a shrewd movie critic because some of the story lines either suck or the film doesn't live up to the hype of the commercial trailer. Well I'm happy to say this film lives up to the commercial hype and then some!
I give it a two thumbs up the effects was crazy and the fighting scenes was incredible. Now don't go expecting to get a true ninja insight film because that's not what this film is about rather more a East meets the Wild West. It had all the gun slinging action you would expect from a cowboy movie with all the Kung Fu you would go to expect from an action film.
I went go go see this film with my homie "Wayne Royale" because we are to action flick junkies so we had been talking about this film every since their company contacted me with the trailer. (Shouts to Emily) we have been anticipating its debut. We wanted to see the film so bad we went at 10:30 AM on a Saturday and for you guys who don't know "V" is "NOT" A Early Bird on any Saturday because that's the day I usually get to sleep in "Not to mention I didn't go to bed until about 4 A.M" matter a fact I was woke up by my partner Wayne pounding at my door and we almost missed the beginning of the film but courtesy of "V's School Of Driving" we arrived there safely and it on time ( What's incredible about that is that we missed our exit and only had 8 minutes to make it to the theater!) and I even spent an extra15 bucks getting some popcorn and a drinks (WDF) man how times have changed! Anywho, I will say we walked out pumped and entertained and I forgot how much that we spent on the movie nor did we care! We where happy campers and will most def go see that flick again this is one of them when you where little after you watched it you pretended you was one of the character flicks!
So if your into action, Kung Fu flicks or film with superior graphics "The Warriors Way" is a sure fire film to go see! Check the web or your local papers to see times and locations it's a rated R film the violence scenes was not to bad no excessive gore or murder scenes just your regular "Ninja Assasin" flick minus the excessive CI graffics.
COOL V SAYS - "DON'T BELEIVE THE HYPE" ARE WE GENERATION STUPID THESE DAYS?
What's Crack'n People!
It's crazy how "Hype" is controlling everything these days from radio to TV into the way we perceive things and each other these days. Have we learned anything from last year? You would think after the Bush administration and after the Wall Street Scandal its a shame how we are so gullible these days. We no longer use our heads "Today" we seem to fall for "Everything"! Have we forgotten to use our brains or common sense or will we fall for anything? I am NOT trying to talk gloom and doom but today we have went crazy and I can prove it let me give you some examples we seen Bush admit there were no weapons of mass destruction yet we still believe that the terrorists was responsible for 911 (Cmon) even when engineers and government officials informed us otherwise see here & here hmmmmmmmm I smell a rat! We also see "Lil Wayne" and "Baby" (Cash Money Records) kiss each other right on the mouth and still convinced that there is nothing gay about it (see here) and ( here ). Or how about us seeing the proof about "Rick Ross" and still people are NOT convinced?
What about these reality stars or video groupies who have gotten success for nothing at all Ray J & Kim Kardasian, Karrin Steffans, I could go on & on from but you get the point this is not the era of "Keeping It Real" rather "Gimmicks R Us" from fake boobs, a**es and fake it till you make it. Don't believe me? Just turn on BET or MTV and watch most rap videos and you'll see the fake persona's. This has transcended into life causing dyer consequences. The results are are young men are going to prison faster that ever, sexual abuse is at a all time high, teen pregnancy has gotten so normal its now entertainment. (see here) The media has made fools of you all and what's shocking is its at OUR EXPENSE. This is getting out way of hand!!!!
In business it seems all you have to is lie about your service or brand and there are no BBB repercussions. Because it's all in the wording and if you got a great publicist or lawyer you can practically get away with anything these days (See R Kelly) or if your a crooked laywer or a cop (see here) no one is held accountable these days. I just got a email on my facebook account that read:
THIS IS AN ACTUAL COPY & PASTE:
I am NOT trying to hate nor discredit because I am all for people making their money but I also know times are hard and just warning you of clever marketing ploys and trying to say people read the fine print!
WDF is wrong with people these days!!!!!! 1st of all I've been in the industry for over 20+ years and there are NO short-cuts on the road to success ask any successful person and they will tell you they had many a bumps along the way and they always have a story. I can't recall ever being successful at any of my career moves with no work. What's funny is as usual it NOT what you say but how you say it did you catch the key phrase and disclaimer? Notice they said possibly become a Billboard webtrend and I promise you Billboard has NEVER even heard of them!
Be careful following people who are nice with photoshop or with the camera I can go anywhere and take pictures all day with celebrities that does not mean I made them famous. To be honest you just need to stop being lazy looking for a get rich quick scheme and just put in your own work YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!! Stop expecting people to make you famous for two dollars and stop putting the blame on others and take responsibility for your own actions. I am sooooo tired of all this "Hype" just because you have a video, nice Myspace graphics does NOT mean you need an MANAGER, PUBLICIST OR AGENT. Or just because a few people say your nice does not entitle you to a record deal also since when did you become your consumer? How can you tell me what I like before even asking my opinion? This is just proof the worlds gone MAD and some of you in it!!!
The best way to judge someone is by their actions this goes for business, relationships, family & friendships. It's like the Bible says "You will know a tree by the fruit it bares" that's "REAL TALK" so don't forget to use your head because common sense is no longer common these days Be Easy!

COOL V PRESENTS - MAN I DON'T OWE YOU NOTHING (NUTIN CHA TOWN SAID LIKE BERNIE MACK)
What's Crack'n People!
I am sooooooooooooooooooooo tired of this "Let Me Hold Something"/"You Owe Me Something" attitude that some people in society has adopted as of late. It's crazy when I think about how some people truly believes people owe them. This week I was posting on FB and I posted a video by C&C music factory "Lovely Day". So I check my FB updates and this idiot @Dwayne Elliott Makes a retarded comment: Saying something to the effect of " You ain't nobody and you talking like you think you the sh@t nigga who have you broke lately nigga you something something hoe" I responded in message before I blocked him saying:

Tavon DyerI know we all like free stuff, but the reality is, we can't always have it like that. I know my budget is not super crazy right now so I as an artist am not eager to do every pay to play joints some promoters offer. I know it a business and people have to get paid for services but I just do my research and choose wisely. I also have surronded myself with a team that is way more well versed in the networking realm than I am which has been very beneficial to me in weeding out obvious people I need to avoid.
You did the right thing here though Bro, if dude tried to get something for nothing and it didn't work out for him, he needs to just keep it moving. People just lack Plain Ole People skills, let alone they have absolutely zero business savvy. Your attitude and genuiness will definitely work in peoples favor, even if a price has to be discussed, it may not be as high as it normally would be or whatever. Keep doing your thing Man. Peace & Respect

Cool Vibez Thank you Tay at the end of the day I provide a quality service and in return I am compensated for my time and efforts they don't go to Guitar Center and ask for a MPC for free so why ask me? I'm not a franchise and I got mouths to feed also I'm am a veteran and paid my dues and worked with and for some of the best and this is America and NOT a dictatorship I do as I please I will work with a person within reason and just look at it this way if you don't work for free ....why should I?

Tavon Dyer Exactly Man. And another thing that's crazy is people feel like they are owed something. They would rather pay someone they don't know twice as much as someone they do know, like they shouldn't be charged. Its crazy.

Cool VibezGM Lori your 100% right love I was just amazed at this dudes actions for several reasons I don't know him nor never met him and I was appalled how a grown man could act so childish and stoop so low this character not only wrote nasty comments on my wall but filled my email and message box and what's crazy is he really got fighting mad at me all because I wouldn't provide service for FREE! But what I think really did it for him was when I posted on my FB status:
"Attention: Please stop coming on my IM or messaging me on FB/Twitter/Myspace or otherwise with the "I NEED YOU TO" speech what ever happened to 1st introducing yourself my name ain't YO (Grown a** man here! 2nd you get further by giving and exchange of goods or services Like if you do this then I can do this Rule #1 whats more amazing is if you asked the same people for a favor in return they wouldn't do it! See More Monday at 3:13pm "
I guess when your conscious plays tricks on you and you start feeling guilty "YOU GET UPSET" I posted no names and it was honestly a general statement I guess he took to heart but If the shoe fits wear it! I do NOT apologize for making that statement because its true today some of these artists, models, businesses really think you owe them something. Whatever happened to respecting your consumer? I guess it really is "F@ck you pay me!" and it's truly sad. I wasn't as mad as I was fed up! This type of behavior will not be tolerated over here I show love all the time and I am always posting supportive and positive posts and doing things for others but what kills me is those people who NEVER has done a thing for you or anyone else is always the 1st to come with his/her hand out and catch a attitude when you don't cave in. Support begets support if you don't show love don't expect to get it! I LOVE EVERYONE....But don't get it twisted I will NOT let people throw their bags on my lawn that ignorance will NOT be tolerated if I respect you respect me simple and plain and I know you understand where I am coming from some of these people are incredibly ignorant these days and in life you chose what you want to accept and he had to be made an example DON'T MESS WITH INDUSTRY VETS!!! Because we been there and done that and heard the story Imma make you famous and rich a million times over that's like telling Hugh Hefner Imma show you a naked woman we done seen that one before! lol (Real talk)
But his actions inspired a positive I'm writing a blog about it NOT to give him shine but to inform artists what NOT to do! People forget NEVER bite the hand that feeds you and the entertainment industry is small you never know who knows who so come correct!
That's why I have no BEEF with ANYONE and wish everyone love & respect I am just not with this dictatorship attitude some people got where if you don't play their record or work for FREE they try to treat you like an abusive spouse NAH SON not here!
...And that's REAL TALK!!!! Not mad but want cats to know step-off with that crap and come correct when they approach me, you or any other professional we are grown and not children and should be respected as such and what was more crazy is this negro is 40-something don't you think your a little to old to be playing internet gangsta homie?
What's amazing is how in the hells do you post a negative comment on such a positive song I don't know? The song was saying "It's gonna be a lovely day!" C'mon son that's like coming off gangsta to the Barney theme song! WDF? I don't understand some people these days soooo negative on FB, TWITTER & MYSPACE they will come on your page leave 100000000 videos or vote for me here or I need you to do this BS there and If you post one thing on their page or message them they act like you stole something! SMH these clowns are crazy this is truly generation "ME" what's even more crazy is some of them actually think this is cute.
Today it's soooo common to see hate I think the videos and TV has alot to do with it because of the marketing ploys and subliminal reconditioning and value system we set in place. If you don't have this or drive that or wear this your NOTHING!!!! Also we are ungrateful and a selfish culture do you think a starving person in a third world country is concerned they was out of the color of Jordans or don't have the matching shoes or new phone this or gadget that? Those people are concentrating on the most basic things in life clean water, shoes (of any sort) shelter and you complain on that BS "Shame on YOU!!!"
Also why are you idiots hating why your hating on the person next to you corporate America is robbing you blind where have some people been for the past few years didn't the Bush administration and Wall Street scandel teach you anything? Divide and conquer is the mission and we are supporting it to the T! So let's get a grip and as for haters hate in style pick up my shirt "Haters Talk" (front) Hustlers Walk (back) (see here) and as for you Haters TI said it best in his song "MOTIVATION" see lyrics below!!! For you newcomers that come with that BS keep it moving shorty you don't know me!

Even if I'ma all alone or standin' with four niggaz
Tell'em jump, pimpin' it don't get no realer

Can't even look me in my eyes, put yo face down
I'm outta jail nigga, whachu gotta say now?
[Chorus]
Motivation

You ain't know I don't stop, I go (It's motivation)
Sucka niggaz can't make me suffer

To be locked in a box niggaz happy to see

Spread yo rumours, kick all yo lil' dumb shit
Tell lies, laugh 'bout the time that I'm gon get
If it make you feel better, picture me over and done with
Punk bitch, come with all the gossip you can come with
Small thang to a giant, I can overcome this
Jail, I don' done this, rap I'm just havin' fun with
I could be a local joker, never have one hit
Nigga, "New Finish" alone'll get me dumb rich
While these rappers sellin' records gettin' pennies
If Grand Hustle sell any, I'ma get plenty
If God with me, who could be against me sucka?
Can't make me suffer, just make me tougher
"STAY UP WINNERS AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE TOP!"

COOL V PRESENTS - INDEPENDENCE DAY PART II (THE GOVERNMENT PASSES BILL TO STOP ILLEGAL POSTING I TOLD YOU CATS THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN JUST PART 1# OF WHAT BUSH HAD IN STORE THERE'S MORE!!!)
What's Crack'n Peoples!
I Warned yaw about this a minute ago and phase one has begun they started seizing blogsites now! (smh) This should show you independent artists the true power of the internet and to start respecting blogsites because the government don't pay attention to people or things that don't make any money. (Real Talk) I know most of you seen it posted on Ballerstatus or BlockJams earlier this week. I have been trying to explain that these major labels are upset and rightfully so because they are spending a ton of money in studio and production costs and not reaping the benefits due to illegal downloading so the government took it's 1st step and just passed a law prohibiting illegal posting for blogsites now (smh) wow can't say I didn't see this one coming!
They are watching us and if you think that's it going to get worse
"Oh it's deeper than just stopping music blogsites"
Following on the heels of this week’s domain seizure of a large hiphop file-sharing links forum, it’s clear today that the U.S. Government has been very busy. Without any need for COICA, ICE has just seized the domain of a BitTorrent meta-search engine along with those belonging to other music linking sites and several others which appear to be connected to physical counterfeit goods.
While complex, it’s still possible for U.S. authorities and copyright groups to point at a fully-fledged BitTorrent site with a tracker and say “that’s an infringing site.” When one looks at a site which hosts torrents but operates no tracker, the finger pointing becomes quite a bit more difficult.
When a site has no tracker, carries no torrents, lists no copyright works unless someone searches for them and responds just like Google, accusing it of infringement becomes somewhat of a minefield – unless you’re ICE Homeland Security Investigations that is.
This morning, visitors to the Torrent-Finder.com site are greeted with an ominous graphic which indicates that ICE have seized the site’s domain.
“My domain has been seized without any previous complaint or notice from any court!” the exasperated owner of Torrent-Finder told TorrentFreak this morning.
“I firstly had DNS downtime. While I was contacting GoDaddy I noticed the DNS had changed. Godaddy had no idea what was going on and until now they do not understand the situation and they say it was totally from ICANN,” he explained.
Aside from the fact that domains are being seized seemingly at will, there is a very serious problem with the action against Torrent-Finder. Not only does the site not host or even link to any torrents whatsoever, it actually only returns searches through embedded iframes which display other sites that are not under the control of the Torrent-Finder owner.
Torrent-Finder remains operational through another URL, Torrent-Finder.info, so feel free to check it out for yourself. The layouts of the sites it searches are clearly visible in the results shown.
Yesterday we reported that the domain of hiphop site RapGodFathers had been seized and today we can reveal that they are not on their own. Two other music sites in the same field – OnSmash.com and DaJaz1.com – have fallen to the same fate. But ICE activities don’t end there.
Several other domains also appear to have been seized including 2009jerseys.com, nfljerseysupply.com, throwbackguy.com, cartoon77.com, lifetimereplicas.com, handbag9.com, handbagcom.com and dvdprostore.com.
All seized sites point to the same message.
Domain seizures coming under the much debated ‘censorship bill’ COICA? Who needs it?
Update: Below is an longer list of domains that were apparently seized. Most of the sites relate to counterfeit goods. We assume that the authorities had a proper warrant for these sites (as they had for RapGodFathers yesterday), but were unable to confirm this.
Update: A spokeswoman for ICE confirmed the seizures in the following statement. “ICE office of Homeland Security Investigations executed court-ordered seizure warrants against a number of domain names. As this is an ongoing investigation, there are no additional details available at this time.”

But there's more the list of targets could conceivably include hosting websites such as Dropbox, MediaFire and Rapidshare; MP3 blogs and mashup/remix music sites like SoundCloud, MashupTown and Hype Machine ; and sites that discuss and make the controversial political and intellectual case for piracy, like pirate-party.us, p2pnet, InfoAnarchy, Slyck and ZeroPaid . Indeed, had this bill been passed five or ten years ago, YouTube might not exist today. In other words, the collateral damage from this legislation would be enormous. (Why would all these sites be targets?)
