At First I Was Like....

Internet memes can be humorous long after they make an appearance on the 'Net and become part of every bodies lexicon. Things like "What type of sorcery is this?", "I Can Haz Cheezburger", "Things ____ People Say" and "Boom Goes The Dynamite" still get smiles on peoples faces even after they have been seen and reinvented 100s of times.

One of my faves has to be the Ice Cube: Gangster Turned Family Film Star meme which usually features a split picture of Cube back in the day with gats & bandannas and then him rowing a canoe in one of his cheesy new films. The tagline usually goes "At first I was like.... Then I was like..." showing how much of a flip flop Cube has made. But the guys over at Slacktory have taken the meme one step further, setting some of these cornball movie scenes to Ice Cube's most gangster music. If this doesn't make you smile, nothing will...

R.I.P Heavy D... A True Rap Legend

I was deeply saddened by the untimely death of one of my favorite rappers of all time, Heavy D. Heavy was a true pioneer of the game and one of the first rappers I remember listening to as a kid. He was also a fave of mine because he was a big boy... but that big boy could dance his ass off!!! Despite the fact he was a tad bit fatter then other rappers, my man Heav was smooth as shit with the ladies and could outdance just about any motherfucker in the game. He opened the doors for future chubby rappers like Notorious BIG and Big Pun, breaking stereotypes as only a true pioneer could. As a young chubster myself, I looked to him for inspiration when it came to getting fresh for a fat guy. Heavy was the fucking man... and its sad to see him go at just 44 years old. Rest in peace Big Guy... the girls will always love you!!!
