I haven’t been to every city in this country but I’ll go ahead and say that Miami is they most beautifullest city in America. My man E was trying to argue with us yesterday that Chicago is a more scenic city but I don’t listen to half of the retarded shit that E says. It’s 90 degree and beautiful women are everywhere (not that I’m looking for a one night stand or anything), women are so gorgeous round here.

Don’t get it twisted, if you go to the North side of MI-Yayo (which is the hood), you’ll see plenty of busted broads that look like they could be from downtown Charleston or something, but South Beach is the shit. If I had gwop or a job that paid gwop to live in Miami, I’d move in a heartbeat (June, I envy you). But since I’m broke, I guess I’ll just stay my po’ ass in the A, and enjoy my visits to MIA whenever I come down.

I know it’s not Friday yet but I’m about to head to Miami and by the time I get back on the computer (if I get on the computer at all) it will be Friday. So I’m gonna go ahead and post Flashback Friday’s video right now. Since I’m going to Miami I decided to roll with a Trick Daddy classic

Too Short’s Birthday Bash is going down this Friday at Sobe Live in Miami. All ladies wearing a red thong can come to the door, ask for R.E., show your thongs and get in free before 11 pm (I’m lying, you get in free before 11 anyways, I’m just a freak like that and I wanna see your thongs).

Miami is supposed to be the business this weekend for Spring Fest but I’m sure I’ll be down there working (which is still better than your job).

Happy Birthday shouts out to my big bruh DJ Frosty.com and my girl, the Bad Girl Venom. If you’re in Columbia, SC this weekend Frosty and Venom will be celebrating their birthdays with a series of parties Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and I think Charlamagne is bringing down one of those Flavor of Love chicks again.

Anyways, the weather is starting to get warm. There’s plenty to do no matter where you’re at. So if you’re sitting at the crib stuck on stupid, kill yourself.

xxlmag.com has a new T.I. joint.

T.I. – “Ain’t Gonna Bother Me”

I’d stand under Rihanna’s umbrella any night of the week.

The internet world is completely different from the real world. So much so that I’ve developed relationships with people across the net that I haven’t even met in real life but I still consider these people to be my peeps nonetheless. Take for example my fellow writer Henry “Rizoh” Adaso. Rizoh holds down the Rap/Hip-hop section for about.com, freelances with numerous publications, and runs one of the best and one of my personal favorite blogs on the internet, The Rap Up.

Riz was prolly the first blogger to reach out to me when I started The Block, and by linking one of my posts to his site, he singlehandedly helped me go from unknown blogger to C-list internet celebrity (I mean, the guy even put me in his Top 24). As I strive to be the best blogger I can be, Riz has been there to guide me, give me advice and help me in anyway that he can along the way. (Ok, enough with the sentimental stuff).

Now, Riz and Denver writer Quibian Salazar-Moren have launched a new blog Street Census to “bring you the latest on what’s in and what’s out, what’s hot and what’s not and rank them for your pleasure. Plus your favorite urban artists weigh in with their opinions.”

I checked the site out earlier this morning and I think it’s dope. Street Census focuses on lists and also reaches out to artists to allow them a chance to contribute to the blogosphere. I love making lists myself but I don’t have the time or patience often enough to compile such things so a lot of the time I have to live vicariously through Riz (which isn’t bad at all because the dude is thorough in his hip-hop research and knowledge, with only a slight bias for Houston music). Check out Street Cense and Riz, thanks for the love fam.

Log on to Street Census here.

So if Phonte and Pooh were to pick their noses I’d prolly put the video on the Block (that is kinda nasty though). Anyways, LB is on a European tour and their doing a video blog kinda like the video blog that ?uestlove does and kinda sorta like the video myspace blog that Diddy can’t stop won’t stop. Now the video quality isn’t all that good but Phonte is slightly retarded which always makes for entertaining commentary.

I couldn’t post the last video because the lank was fuxing up so you’ll have to go to LB’s myspace page to see it here. Of course I’m not going to post their Euro Trip video blog every fuxing day so if anyone wants to see what happens next log on to LB’s myspace page.

I’m putting both of these videos in one post because I’m too lazy to write two separate entries. It’s nice to see Mya back because she’s one sexy azz mofo. Fantasia…not so much. Fantasia’s song is the shit though, it’s just that I don’t say the same things when I see Fantasia as when I see Mya.

I have to go to Best Buy tomorrow because E broke the headphones I use at the office to review albums so my other coworker don’t have to listen to that disgusting filth of music that today’s rappers call hip-hop. But while I’m there I think I’m going to pick up Gym Class Heroes because A) I’m one of the few people that actually gives a damn about purchasing albums anymore. B) Need something new to listen to on the way to Miami tomorrow. C) I’m really a backpacker at heart that takes pride in having atypical rap music in my CD changer that you morons would never listen to.

Gym Class Heroes caught my attention when they did that song about myspace awhile back but I didn’t consider picking up their album until recently. For some odd reason “Cupid’s Chokehold” has been one of my favorite joints for the past week or so I think it’s about time to cop the whole CD. I mean, it’s not like I’m going to walk into Best Buy and cop Joe’s (I’m-always-trying-to-smash-someone-else’s-girl) album (but that’s a whole post for another day).

Yes, I’m jacking this concept straight from J.B.’s Playlist (shhh, don’t tell her). People always wanna know what I’m bumpin’ in the whip while I’m making those trips on I-20 back to the Carolinas or while I’m ridin’ circles round 285 in the A. So every once in awhile I’ll bring ya’ll the newest songs that I’ve added to my iPod with R.E.’s Playlist (and yes, Bear…I still have a Nano).
