Bonus Track: The Game ft. Lil Wayne – Lyrical Homicide (over at Nah Right)
I was kinda slow to get down with the whole text messaging thing. At first I couldn’t grasp the concept, so I used to get mad when people would text me and I’d call them back like, “what the fux do you want?” That was back when I didn’t have texting on my phone and the shit was something like 10 cent a text or something that just made my phone bill higher for no damn reason.
Since then I’ve grown to be a texter myself. I have unlimited texting on my phone and sometimes the shit is a life saving. It’s a good tool while in the club, since it’s impossible to hear from inside clubs because the music is loud…now, you can text whoever’s calling you like, “Im n da club. Holla at u lata.”
It’s particular useful when trying to maintain multiple relationships with various women because if you don’t feel like talking or you simply don’t have the time to call all of them, you can send them all the same text message, something like “Thinking of U” or some bullshit like that. Chicks think ridiculous things like that are cute and they won’t harass you about not calling if you text them (not that I do that, I’m just saying).
There’s a new song slow burning in Atlanta about text messages. All it really takes to make a hit is take a topic that people can relate to and sing about it like myspace or tattoos. It’s that simple.
Anyways, I kinda like the song because people text me all the time and I can relate. I don’t know anything about this group (I couldn’t even find their myspace page, how wack is that) but no one really cares who sings a song anymore, it’s not like they’re gonna buy your shit.

(And no E, the Bulls aren’t fuxing wit’ that lineup).
Starting tonight, Atlanta hip-hop radio station Hot 107.9 will be airing DJ Dram(a) and the Aphilliates Gangsta Grillz radio 5 days a week (Mon.-Thurs. at 10 pm and Sat. at 8 pm). If you’re someone like me that listens to the radio, this is a big fuxing deal. Gangsta Grillz radio is hot shit because Dram(a) and them always have some new and exclusive music to play and the PD over at 107.9 pretty much let them play whatever the hell they wanna play, which usually makes for good radio.
I’m a music editor, which means, it’s my job to listen to the radio and see what new songs are poppin’ and Gangsta Grillz radio is better than most rappers’ albums. I can’t lie, this radio show is one of the reasons I moved to Atlanta (ok, not really) because we haven’t had good radio shows like that in South Cack since Charlamagne left for the Wendy Williams Experience. My boys were in town a few weeks back and they were in awe because they’d never heard shit like it (oh and the Aphilliates’ drops are killer too).
I haven’t heard anything about Dram’s mixtape case and he’s since gone back to dropping mixtapes, so I guess he had that whole R. Kelly thing mastered and maybe Mike Vick should consultant this dudes on how not to end up in jail.
I’m not sure if I’ll be tuning in tonight but hell, it doesn’t matter because it’ll be on Mon-Thurs then Sat. and I don’t have to wait a whole week until it comes back on anymore.
I had a long weekend and now I’m on my Zone ish, check this vid and I’ll catch back up with ya’ll later. (Spotted @ Nah Right).
Unrelated Bonus Video: Give It To Me (Wasn’t the Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole song called “Give It To Me” or something like that? Just wondering).
I had no choice but to flashback to when UGK was kinda wack on the mic I was first introduced to UGK (Was it really 15 years ago? Damn). The first song I’d ever heard from these dudes was “Pocket Full of Stones” off their Too Hard To Swallow album. Our neighborhood pusha played that shit at a house party all night and ever since then I’ve been a UGK fan. (Although the first UGK album that I purchased myself wasn’t until their 1996 album Ridin’ Dirty).
Anyways, Pimp made this week one we’ll never forget. I’ve been trying to figure out what made Pimp C transform into the MaDd RaPpEr but XXL Editor-In-Chief YN has a few reasons here. I think he might be on to something.

King Magazine (my favorite booty mag I might add) is having a couple parties in the Carolinas this weekend. The first party is tonight hosted by Charlamagne Tha God and Shay “Buckeye” Johnson from Flavor of Love, with DJ Chuck T on the 1′s and 2′s. It goes down tonight in Charlotte at Club Crush. And King Magazine is having a model search tonight, so all you myspace models out there, match your panties with your bras and get your shit together.
Charlamagne brought King Magazine Editor-In-Chief Jermaine Hall to Columbia a few months back, where he discovered Columbia native Sharina “Big Baby” Hudson, who’s the “Backshot” pick in this month’s issue of King (I had problems scanning her backshot, so just take my word for it now and I’ll put her backshot pic up later). So it’s safe to say if you wanna get into King Magazine, tonight and Saturday night is your chance.
Saturday’s party is at Stilletos in Columbia and it pretty much features the same people except Chuck T won’t be DJing, DJ Frosty will. Big Moe keeps pushing this party as a celebration for former South Carolina Gamecock basketball standout Brandon Wallace. Dude got picked up by the Boston Celtics…hopefully, he doesn’t get cut by the time the party goes down Saturday because that wouldn’t be a good look. Anyways, these parties should be official and it ain’t like you all have shit better to do in the Carolinas this weekend, so be there.

Please take caution when sending songs to my inbox because wack shit will be put on blast. Today’s victim is Lydell Lucky outta Dallas, TX. This dude had the audacity to email this song to me with the email titled “Next To Blow!!!!!!”
Well bruh, you wanted exposure right?

Honestly, there’s nothing more I like doing than talking about myself so if anyone has a problem with that you can visit another blog…this is My Block bitches! You know, I started WritersBlockMedia Dot Net back in October 2006 and in November 2006 I told you fools I was the Reggie Bush of this blogging shit. (Flashback drop here). I compared myself to Reggie Bush because the way he entered the NFL as the best thing since sliced bread was like the way I entered the blogosphere (well, at least in my mind). You fuxs didn’t hear me then, but fast forward nearly a year later and look at The Block now.
The Block has been linked to blog heavyweights like the Rap Up and Crunk & Disorderly. Brought in as a columnist for HHNLive.com. I’ve been praised by the big homie Billy Sunday. And last night, the leader in hip hop blogs, eskay, linked The Block to Nah Right. Thus, I will nolonger refer to myself as “the Reggie Bush of Bloggers.” From now on I’m “the Vince Young of Bloggers” (Reggie Bush didn’t win NFL Offensive Rookie of the year, Vince Young did…keep up people).
The Black Weblog Awards are getting ready to go down and I deserve a spot. Honestly, I feel Best New Blog should belong to me but under their guidelines, I don’t qualify for that award because my blog was launched before January 1, 2007. But I wasn’t around for the 2006 Awards so I should be legible now. Oh well, it’s cool. But I still deserve one of those awards and if I don’t get one I’m gonna spazz out like Kanye when he loses an award.
I was going to wait until my One Year Anniversary to do a “Best of WritersBlockMedia Dot Net” but since I’m getting crazy traffic right now (thanks to Pimp C), I’m going to pick my Top 10 favorite posts and help some of my new readers get acquainted with the boy R.E. and push for a Black Weblog Award.
The Best of WritersBlockMedia Dot Net
10. Who’s Gettin’ Some Ass and Who Ain’t (View Here)
Here my name was mistakingly put on an Ozone article (Eric, actually wrote that piece). But Sohh Gyant posted my name on sohh.com as the writer which kinda bugged me out, you know, seeing my name on a prominent hip hop blog like that (in hindsight it was a foreshadow of things to come).
9. R.E.’s Playlist (View Here)
R.E.’s Playlist has become a Block favorite. People love downloading shit more than reading my rants and I respect that. I stole the idea from my girl JB and her playlist in Ozone. I brought it to The Block so people could hear the songs I’ve been bumping on my iPod and so I have a record of when I started listening to a song (which is usually months before everyone else).
8. Lauren London Is The New-New (View Here)
In this drop I confessed my love for Lauren London. Secretly, I only blog with hopes that she’ll google her name, see one of my posts on her and give me a call.
7. Sidney Rice Is a Fool (View Here)
In one of my few sports drops, I put former South Carolina Gamecock, Sidney Rice on blast for choosing to stay in school and not go get that NFL gwop. I seriously do believe the fella read my blog, changed his mind and entered the NFL Draft this year.
6. WritersBlockMedia Is That Crack (View Here)
After a few people told me that my site was addictive, I decided to let the worldwide web know WritersBlockMedia was that crack.
5. WritersBlockMedia’s Hot 10 (View Here)
After Maxim stubbed all the black chicks on their Maxim 100 list, I took matters into my own hands and gave props to my 9 fav beautiful black women and Ice-T’s big booty wife.
4. The Love Is For Suckers Campaign (View Here)
People broke up with their significant others, copped the t-shirt (no really) and joined the campaign after this one. “Love Is For Suckers” isn’t just a campaign, it’s a movement.
3. Where The Hoes At? (View Here)
After that Don Imus shit, I quit calling women hoes, instead hoes has forever been replaced on The Block with “promiscuous girls.” That was a monumental moment.
2. I’m Not a Beyonce Hater (View Here)
I pissed a lot of Beyonce stans off with this one. And this is the post that put me on the map (well, at least established my following in Columbia, SC). I realized people visited The Block when chicks saw me out in Columbia and approached me about things I said about Beyonce. To this day, I’m not a Beyonce hater, I still just think her album sucked.
1. The Chronicles of Pimp C (View Here)
This was the drop read around the net. I don’t be on that rumor stuff so I was a little heated this drop wasn’t taken as factual information from the pages of Ozone. But in the end, the Pimp C outtakes started on The Block and spread throughout the internet like wildfire.
That should get new readers up to speed and refresh old readers on the past. Ladies and gentlemen, you are now rockin’ wit’ the best. R.E. aka “the Vince Young of Bloggers.”
“I want my cotdamn trophy.”
You all can have the Common, Curtis, Kanye and (insert rapper here) albums. R.E.’s pick for most anticipated album of the year is Little Brother (minus 9th Wonder) Get Back.
(Swagger jacked from Searching For My Swagger).
Update: eskay has the Get Back track listing here. Album in stores September 25th.
