A.k.A Shaddy B.k.A "#2"
I went to high school w/ Shaddy & I learned alot from him about humility, sportsmanship, and integrity among other things. Perhaps the most important characteristic that he had (has) that rubbed off on me is a presence of multifaceted creativity; he wants to be successful & creative in every aspect of life & he makes sure he surrounds himself w/ those who share that characteristic...So this is my 'thanks' to tha gridiron beast of tha east as I like ta call him {..I actually just made that up}. Make sure you check out his creativity @ http://shadshaddy2.blogspot.com/

A.k.A Tha Sneaker-Freaker
Ok, I've only met tha dude 4 or 5 times but in that short amount of time he's redefined my ideas on what it means to be an "individual". Everything from headwear to footgear establishes a sense of a style that is most definitely all his own. Just a real creative cat..you can just here it in his voice he's about somethin special, somethin new, somethin creative...guess it shouldn't come as a surprise that he & Shad are close friends.

Now that thats outta tha way, some random things that are on my mind today..
NBA Trade Rumor: Tracy McGrady For Andre Iguodala (&Youth)
This increasingly talked about rumor is quite interesting to me for two reasons. First of all, I have a renewed interest in tha hometown 76ers ever since ma boi BubbaChuck returned in early December; not because A.I. has made us a better team {we're currently 12-26..second to last in tha East, ahead of only tha sorry & sad NJ Nets} but because Allen in my mind is & forever will be tha greatest scorer ever. The second reason is based on tha above headline alone...whoever gave tha O.K. to this article's title needs ta be shanked, cus I read it & immediately thought to myself 'so Houston wants Iguodala along w/ his children' lol {or maybe I should be shanked for that bad joke =/ }.
In all seriousness though, this potential deal doesn't really move me as it probably should. Iguodala is awkward with tha ball & often inconsistent night in and night out, but for tha most part he's a great athlete who ensures that Philly remains one of tha more exciting teams in tha league to watch. It does seem crazy to most people ta trade him for a past-his-prime T-Mac but I think tha deal, if it does happen, could place tha Sixers in a prime position for tha heavily anticipated Free Agency Circus of 2010 come this summer. With Tracy's 23-million dollar contract coming off the books they would have tha financial standing to go after say a D-Wade or a Chris Bosh so I understand why they may be willing to part wasy w/ Iggy. I just hope Dalembert isn't a piece of tha so-called Youth package they are willing to send to H-town b/c athletic, shot-blocking big men with somewhat of good footwork is hard ta come by nowadays & we dont have tha bench nor a backcourt to fill tha hole in tha middle that Slammin Sammy D would leave behind. Heres tha link to tha full article..

ARTiSTS 2 WATCH 4 iN 2010:
QUE
I'm really anticipating Que as a solo artist just because tha dude is mad talented. I dont know how well he'll do w/o his "4 Brothers" but tha boi can sing...lets just hope his somewhat bipolar attitude doesn't destroy his solo career before it really begins =/
TRAViS McCOY
Another really talented guy; can't wait to see what projects he puts out this year. I'm especially lookin forward to his "Forgetting Katy Perry" mixtape aimed @ his ex-girlfriend {& possibly her soon-to-be husband, tha critically acclaimed Brit Russel Brand} & his first album under T-Pain's Nappy Boy Ent. label..
TYGA
"TYGA TYGA" might be my favorite rapper from tha YMCMB click {after Aubrey Graham of course} & I'm expecting him to step in & carry tha load w/ Drizzy & Nicki seein as though Boss Carter will eventually be behind bars {no pun intended} for much of tha year. Don't sleep on this cat...{Uhhhaa!}<--Tyga voice
So I'm getting lazy already w/ my Blog; I'll have ta set up something intruiging for next time but I guess I'll just leave you w/ something that defines a large part of my life & wat I'm all about...ENJOY
