'99 Lakers LP

I feel like right now my career is like the 1999 Los Angeles Lakers. That season for the Lakers was insane. First of all the season was cut in half due to the NBA strike so the support of basketball was at an all time low. (Kind of how the music industry is now). We had two different coaches that didn't know what the fuck they were doing. We had crazy ass Denis Rodman and this was also the year that Kobe and Shaq first started to "feud". Most importantly it was their last season @ The Forum in Inglewood, California (my home town). The next season they packed up moved out the Forum, got a new coach, upgraded their uniforms, made a few changes and revived the Laker dynasty (My goal is to revive hip hop but more specifically the west coast). I have elements that are proven to be good like Kobe and Shaq and Glen Rice. But I also have certain elements holding me back like Corie Blount (random bench player from that team that sucked), Elden Campbell and Travis Knight, not having the right coach (management) and basically the pressure of trying to prove that this team is a championship winning team.



So I'm putting together a CD titled "99 Lakers LP". And basically it's a big ass metaphor that compares hip hop to basketball. Each song's titled after a Laker player from that year as well as other Laker related things. Each song represents that player's personality but at the same time has a reference to hip hop for example "Dennis Rodman" is a track with me spitting rebellious flows over a crazy ass rock and roll electric guitar and just crazy chaos on a track. I have a song called "Sean Rooks" remember him? lol, well the song isn't about him, it's a track dedicated all the "rookie rappers" out there, and how they need to learn how to grind to get that starting spot, instead of coming in the game thinking that they already have it made. The song titled "Jeanine Buss" is a track about gold digging women. I got a track called "Wilt Chamberlain" that's about sex and I think I set the record for the most basketball/sex double entendres in one song. It all makes sense haha. So this project is basically my 1999 season I'm going to get work all the bugs and come back strong new and improved for the next 3 years…I don't know what I'm a do after that though lol. I'm sure you get the concept now.

I personally have not seen him perform, due to the lack of being in the desert.
But have heard him spit on several tracks.

You might have heard him on the Intro of C-SAN's "The Birth"
He's also featured on hiphopdx.com, leave some comments.

Francis Ford Coppola and Miss World support two New7Wonders of Nature Nominees

Two nominees in the New7Wonders of Nature campaign recently received votes from very prominent visitors. Legendary Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola cast his vote for Iguassu Falls, which straddle the border between Argentina and Brazil, while Miss World voted for Ha Long Bay in Vietnam.

The current Miss World, Zhang Zi Lin, expressed her support for Ha Long Bay during a visit to Vietnam which included inaugurating numerous charity houses. Also eighty contestants of the Miss Universe 2008 on June 27-28 visited northeastern Quang Ninh province where they called at well-known Ha Long Bay and voted for it as one of the world’s seven natural wonders (see picture on the left).

Francis Ford Coppola, best known perhaps for the Godfather series of movies, has been moved by the majesty of Iguassu Falls since he first saw them in 2003. He commented that “One of the most spectacular landscapes I've seen and one of the most incredible places I've visited are the Iguassu Falls” He noted that Iguassu Falls are like "ten Niagara Falls together.”

Eighty contestants of the Miss Universe 2008 visited Ha Long Bay and voted for it as one of the world’s seven natural wonders.

Well known director Francis Ford Coppola is a big fan of the Iguassu Falls: "They are ten Niagara Falls together.”

Join these two stars and the millions of people who have already participated and cast your vote for Ha Long Bay,

VN may accept beauties with minor plastic surgeries

VietNamNet Bridge – While some international beauty contests, including the recent Miss Universe 2008 in Vietnam, accept contestants who have had minor plastic surgeries, it is unacceptable in Vietnam.

Plastic surgery – trifles in the world

Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza

It is not a big thing for girls in other countries to ask for help from plastic surgeons to “repair” some parts of their bodies before participating in pageants.

Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza, when asked in Venezuela what percentage did plastic surgery play in the success of beauty queens, confirmed: “Quite a lot. If you are not satisfied with some part of your body and you think you will feel better if it is improved, go get plastic surgery.”

Miss Universe Japan national director Ines Ligron stated she didn’t support plastic surgery but plastic surgery is normal because nobody is really perfect and the organisers of Miss Universe contest don’t ban contestants for plastic surgeries.

Miss Vietnam 2006 Mai Phuong Thuy said: “Most beauty contests in the world don’t accept contestants who change the natural beauty of their faces but it is okay if other parts of bodies are changed a little.”

The development of plastic surgery can make artificial beauty look very natural. In many cases, even doctors can’t detect any sign of plastic surgery unless they use specialised equipment.

Perhaps the perfection of plastic surgery industry is one of reasons for organisers of beauty contests in the world to accept it and only request contestants to keep their original faces.

Vietnamese beauties raise their voices

In Vietnam, plastic surgery is banned at all beauty contests and it is an article in the regulations on beauty contests and it is adhered to very strictly.

The organising boards of all beauty contests in Vietnam always have a member who is a beauty expert and in charge of verifying whether contestants’ beauty is natural or not.

Before official competitions, contestants have to pass a health check to confirm that they haven’t used plastic surgery to improve their beauty.

Vietnamese girls will participate in many more international pageants, including the upcoming Mrs. World 2009, Ms World 2010 in Vietnam, and if Vietnam doesn’t change its rule on banning plastic surgery, Vietnamese contestants will be at a disadvantage in international pageants. Some beauties have spoken out about this matter.

Miss Sport 2008 Tran Thi Quynh said: “Any girl wishes to own original beauty but if minor plastic surgery can help so why we don’t encourage it because it is modern beauty.”

Model and actress Phi Thanh Van, who has undergone many plastic surgeries, said: “Original beauty is the best but if you have some parts that are not nice, I support plastic surgery.”

Miss Vietnam 2006 Mai Phuong Thuy said: “Vietnamese girls are beautiful and gentle. Some have ideal heights. But their weakness is body measurements. Plastic surgery may be one way to help Vietnamese girls walk abreast of world beauties.”

Plastic surgery is supported

Duong Xuan Nam, Chief Editor of the Tien Phong Newspaper, the organiser of Miss Vietnam pageant, backed Vietnamese beauties. He said outspokenly: “At the beginning I didn’t agree with the regulation that bans plastic surgery and I proposed to change it but I failed.”

“If we want to compete with world beauties, this regulation must be changed. The Ministry (of Culture, Sports and Tourism) should issue regulations to define which parts of the body are allowed to be operated on and which parts are not,” he added.

Le Ngoc Cuong, Head of the Performing Art Agency under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the agency is receiving opinions about this issue and it will adjust the regulations on beauty competitions. He said major plastic surgeries may not be accepted but minor ones are possible.

The draft amended regulations will be finalised this July and will be sent to related agencies for consideration.
