Young Buck Crying? Thug Rappers Cry?

OMG! I was laughing my ass off this morning while listening to this audio clip. What's so funny about it is that it was on the front page of Myspace. I thought that was kind of odd itself, but hell, what do I know?

At first I was making all kinds of jokes. I called Young Buck "young broke" and "cry bucky." I even got a personal satisfaction out of his misery because of his stupid ass lyrics. But that's not right. I know better. Since I only heard that little part of the clip (and we know how mainstream media LOVES to manipulate sound bytes), I looked for the whole recording...and found it! Oh course it wasn't that hard to find. From what I've read, that recording is over a year old and it was allegedly doctored, but who cares really? Besides, 50 is known for creating beef. And don't he have a cd coming out soon? Hmmm, so he starts some kind of beef with (insert random name here) around the time that a cd is to released from his label, huh? I thought he was gonna sit his raggedy ass down after Kanye beat him down in sales? What happened? Will someone remind him to cop a squat somewhere? Cuz' obviously he doesn't remember. I wonder how his sales will be. (Note to self: follow up on that.)

The whole recording gave a little more insight on the conversation. Apparently Young Buck owes quite a bit of money to quite a few people, including 50. You can hear the stress in his voice. If you've stressed over having boocoo bills and literally a couple dollars to pay them, you know what he's going through. If Young Buck had decent lyrics I would probably buy his next cd. If he has some of the some bullshit as before he can keep that shit.

So, why would Curtis, I mean 50 Cent, release that recording now? Of course I don't know the details of their relationship, but can't you just see 50 sitting in his office giggling like an evil cheerleader while pushing Young Buck even further into depression? Well, YB isn't gonna let 50 get the last word.

We all know there are two sides to every story and Young Buck has recorded and released an explanation.

I hope all ends well for them. I'm bored with them now. Damn this adhd!

Baby TV/DVD's Rocks!

Sometimes I get a chance to babysit my almost ten month old nephew. He's trying to stand and walk, which is good because it means he's developing well. But I swear if that little boy knocks over my trash can or pulls stuff out of my cabinets one more time, I'm gonna...just clean it up. I can't lie, I enjoy watching him discover new things and go exploring.

As a matter of fact, I enjoy it so much that I've bought him a set of Baby Genius DVD's. I didn't think a baby his age would pay attention to the TV, but I was wrong. He loves watching those DVD's! The first time I played one for him, he was rolling through the house in his walker. When he heard the music from the DVD start to play, he darn near broke his neck trying to see where the noise was coming from. He made his way towards the TV and just sat there mesmerized. He tried to watch the whole DVD but he couldn't make it through. He crashed somewhere between the dancing bears and the spinning glass balls. BG will be my secret weapon whenever I need him to be still. Yes, this can work.

I have DirecTV also, and they have a baby channel that is amazing! It works wonders I tell ya. Not just for babies and toddlers, but for teenagers and adults as well. OK, it wasn't meant for teens and adults, but the music and images are so relaxing you can't help but to be drawn in and hypnotized to sleep. And it's a peaceful sleep too.

My favorite thing to watch on the baby channel is the sand drawings. An artist sprinkles sand on the "screen" and makes shapes and object with his/her hands. It's interesting. You should watch it.
