In the age of Web 2.0, no one is safe from a possible exposure. It's hard to not be the next contestant on that Macbook screen. Just ask Rawse.
Which is why this new website, CriminalSearches.com, is perfect for any hip hop blogger. You can go from RSS flunkie to The Smoking Gun overnight! Found it reading the Sunday NY Times. I decided to "expose" some of my favorite gangster rappers, bloggers, high school classmates, ex-girlfriends, etc with the help of this site and Wikipedia.
I started with a search on myself: Randall Medford Result: Nothing. My street cred is in the shitter
Absolutely nothing. Just because your favorite rapper didn't go to jail, doesn't mean his music is suddenly wack or not real. The only reason people get on Rick Ross is because he won't admit it. It's making rap not fun anymore. In the words of the late Heath Ledger, why so serious?
Jimmy Kimmel and Barack Obama talk about the Kobe vs. Celtics series. Transcript:
Jimmy: Have you been watching the NBA Finals?
Obama: I have
Jimmy: I have to ask you who you're rooting for if anyone?
Obama: I just want a good series. I'm a Bulls fan obviously coming from Chicago. I just wanna see good series. I gotta admit I did not anticipate Boston manhandling the Lakers like that
Jimmy: Will your health care plan cover fake injuries like the one Paul Pierce keeps having? Because it seems like something needs to be done about that
Obama: I tell you what, whatever injury he had he should try to get another one because he played great in Game 4
Jimmy: You're big on hope; do the Lakers have any remaining in this series?
Obama: Look Kobe Bryant is the best player in the world and is basically unstoppable when his game is on. But right now the Celtics are playing better team ball. The bench of the Celtics is playing better a lot than the Lakers bench right now which I think a lot of people are surprised by
Jimmy: Are you at all worried Senator that if the Lakers do come back that'll it might encourage Hillary to come back to?
Lol @ the last question
Also, his teammate Al Gore is announcing his support for Young Barack tonight. Make sure you check it out. His endorsement letter is below:
from Al Gore
to Sickamore date Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 8:04 PM subject My endorsement
Dear Friend,
Make a donation A few hours from now I will step on stage in Detroit, Michigan to announce my support for Senator Barack Obama. From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected President of the United States.
Over the next four years, we are going to face many difficult challenges -- including bringing our troops home from Iraq, fixing our economy, and solving the climate crisis. Barack Obama is clearly the candidate best able to solve these problems and bring change to America.
This moment and this election are too important to let pass without taking action.
That's why I am asking you to join me in showing your support by making a contribution to this campaign today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/gore
Over the past 18 months, Barack Obama has united a movement. He knows change does not come from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or Capitol Hill. It begins when people stand up and take action.
With the help of millions of supporters like you, Barack Obama will bring the change we so desperately need in order to solve our country's most pressing problems.
If you've already contributed to this campaign, I ask that you consider making another contribution right now. If you haven't, please take the next step and own a piece of this campaign today:
https://donate.barackobama.com/gore
On the issues that matter most, Barack Obama is clearly the right choice to lead our nation.
We have a lot of work to do in the next few months to elect Barack Obama president, and it begins by making a contribution to this campaign today.
Thank you for joining me,
Al Gore
LIVE TONIGHT -- 8:30 p.m. EDT: Watch streaming video of Al Gore and Barack Obama at a rally in Detroit, Michigan:
-Andrew Bynum said the Lakers has a chance to win 73 games next year. Kobe need the young boy to take out The Big Ticket. Still Black Mamba in 5, but it would've been a clean sweep if we had the '87 Baby back. I say the Zen Master pulls off some heroics of his own and gets Andrew out of rehab to finish off The Wizard of OZ -The Firm's 1st 90s Baby starts interning on Monday. This is going to get interesting. Still have room for one more -Shaken Venti Iced Black Tea Lemonade Sweetened in case you were wondering. It's really just a glorified(re: $3.68) Arnold Palmer -Yesterday I copped this watch by the company called "No Label Watches". There slogan is "by who gives a f*ck" I don't know if it's genius or stupid to have a brand and not "brand" it. Or is the "non-branding" branding? Either way it's dope. Buy here, pics below or myspace page. -Game 2 is tonight. I probably won't be able to live blog again because I got this showcase in Atlantic City to judge. I might fuck around and buy an iPhone just to blog it. Kobe wins games 2, 3, 4, and 5. Easy. Lightwork. It's the opposite of something. Remember when A.I. took one from Kobe in the 2001 Finals? Same situation here. -The No Country For Old Heads movement is in full swing! 3 days and almost 3,000 visitors. Gotta thank Eskay for most of that traffic. If you're not a old head and interested enlisting in this never ending war against the oppression, you know how to find me. Sickamore@TheFamousFirm.com -Five Favorite New York City Starbucks to blog:
5) 17th Street & Broadway down the block from my 2nd home The Coffee Shop and where I went to college (Barnes & Noble)
4) 15th and 9th. Lots of electric outlets here. Also a good spot when you just want to read. Down the block from the office on 26th Street. Across from the new Mac store. And a couple hundred feet from Pop Burger
3) Spring & Crosby in Soho. This one's a little crowded, but it's great for when you're finished shopping. Or about to head over to Bar 89/Cafe Habana/Bread
2) Delancey & Allen. This is the one I'm in now. Best part? The women who walk in here are incredible. Rihanna/Meagen Fox/Laura London-ish all day. Plus it's right in the middle of my favorite neighborhood in NY. And there's always parking available
1) 21st Street bet 5th & 6th. I never see anyone in here. It's like the least popular location. Maybe because it's new. But I've posted on that couch for hours and went crazy. Getting a comfortable spot is the best feeling. In the cut something crazy. I can write a novel in there
