The Game ft. Anthony Hamilton – Hustler’s Dream
Not a big Game fan but he’s not too bad here. Wish the chorus was different though.

Kiley Dean-Days Go By
Guess this was some album from 2003 that never got released. If you like JoJo and stuff like that than you might like this, Raymond is the expert with this kind of music so I’ll have to see what he thinks. I had to go look up the sample cuz I couldn’t place it; Dilated Peoples, Ludacris, Young Jeezy and some others used it just in case anyone was wondering like me.
Beyonce – Save The Hero
A few tracks that supposedly didn’t make it onto Sasha Fierce. Best of the bunch for me would be the second one, Save The Hero.

Why Don’t You Love Me? – http://www.zshare.net/audio/530211896fa1df90/
Also, I saw The Wrestler last week and they had this preview before the movie, I had a good laugh at the title. Maybe the first movie to be SOP certified???
And I guess I should watch Fox more often so I can keep up with my sex terms.
Possible topics for my next (actual/real) post: music apps and finding tunes online, changes in the stable, whether or not Forgetting Sarah Marshall will become the first sop certified movie, and a counter-argument to whatever Raymond says about the viaduct, just cuz I likes to f’ with him.
Have a good week yall,
tpain
PS: It took a whole year but o’snaps Raymond actually certified Emancipator’s album. I guess miracles do happen.
PSS: WTF is up with wordpress and this formatting. Sorry things are all spaced funky. Maybe it’s time for a new theme…
well well well, here we are in 2009. a year me and the homies posted up on the block thought we’d never live to see. we have a black president, a korean LUXURY car, and a white guy as the best player in college football. whadafuc? its enough to make colonel sanders roll over in his grave. what’s next? a mexican guy being the richest man in the world…?
sidebar: i made my own version of the kfc bowl a week ago, complete with mashed potatoes, leftover turkey, corn, gravy, all topped with melted cheese. shizz was like eating slop off a slave’s supper plate. not a good look.
first off, let me start this legendary post by taking y’all on a journey… back, waaaay back… through 2008:
things started off well as i began daily driving the beast. many good times were shared between me and the bumblebee/sebastien/pedobear. then i had to move outs the house to stack the scrilla. this meant changing clothes for work, not napping at my discretion, no more morning trips on the ’silver bullet train’ and commuting like a mo’focker. wackz for sure.
next up came glory glory for MAN U as they won both the Champions League AND the EPL title, solidifying their spot as the best team on the entire planet. the beautiful one (cristiano) gets madd recognition and picks up the Ballon d’or and Fifa Player of the Year awards… solidifying his spot as the best player on the entire planet!
during the summer I rediscovered my passion for bikes… bicycles that is. madd trips were taken around the city and hopefully it will start again once the all-mighty Allah stops punishing us with this horrid weather.
lastly the two main highlights of the year, madd awesome trips to both norcal and socal. good friends, tasty foods, and delightful sights were taken in on both trips, and the memories will be everlasting… like my love-making sessions.
fasty chinaman reppin nike in DT SF
tastiest chicken strips i’ve ever ingested, even those chicken strips are for gwei los
sexy venice beach without the breezies
pbeezy squirtin off in some hole mexi-style
carls jr, a poor replacement for the ultimate delight: in-n-out
next up: Japan and Korea!
now that 2009 has settled in, we can take a look ahead and see what the new year shall bring (although 09 doesn’t really start until 1/26, gong hay fat choy biiitches). this year i shall resolve to:
- make some tight beats
- make the beast more awesome
- gain some useful professional skills to become more ‘corporate and marketable’ [read: white] like tpain
- overall… be a better me
since i’m in a reflective type of mood, and muzik is a definite smash or pass topic, let’s review the sounds that 08 presented my ears.
*disclaimer yet again that my choosings are biased towards the year end and these are the albums/tracks that got the most air time with me.*
my choice for the top 3 albums of the year:
- beyonce – i am sasha fierce
- emancipator – soon it will be cold enough
- ne-yo – year of the gentleman
honorable mentions go out to: usher – here i stand & brandy – human
my choice for the top 3 songs of the year:
- beyonce – smash into you
- emancipator – when i go, good knight, or shook (tough choice)
- usher ft. beyonce & lil wayne – love in this club remix
and just because i’m angry, the top 3 most disapointing artists of the year:
- lil wayne for following up the amazingly outstanding carter II with a horrible slurring auto-tuned piece of crap. (exceptions being lollipop, got money, and let the beat build)
- keri hilson for producing madd tantalizing collabos and singles, but delaying the shiz out of her debut album.
- kanye west for thinkin he could produce an EMO rap album comprising sappy lyrics, non-banging beats, and more fockin singing auto-tune. (exception for the chorus on ’see you in my nightmares‘ ft Lil Weezy) leave the robot voice to t-pain and lady gaga!
DUN DUN DUHHH (that was a dramatic drumroll kids), we have two new inductions into the SorP certified bangers list… which was previously just one song?
1. congrats to beyonce for the amazing song ’smash into you’. this track has been on replay for months at home, in the car, and at work. next time yous alone, crank the volume up, and try NOT to sing your fockin lungs out… go get ‘em B!
2. big standing ovation for emancipator and his ridiculously chillax album ’soon it will be cold enough’. this beats-only album is the perfect at-work or love-making music. just press play and let the tracks roll and head nodding begin. each track is a banger, except for ’smoke signals’… cuz i don’t get down with animal sounds in beats. madd props to tpain for discovering this and forcing me to give it a try.
also, as promised in my last post, here’s a snapz of another pair of kicks i copped. i apologize in advance to ben(D over) for not sporting fruity ass electro colors or in other words, sir john elton-type gear.
its time to end this truly epic post, but i must leave you with what you most likely came here for. some of that tasty eye candy baby…
freida pinta (7.5/10) – cuuute pic, pretty pretty, but a little lacking in the body dept. also, could there be madd furriness hidden beneath those clothes?
kristen bell vs mila kunis (who knew she could be hot?)
sidebar: Forgetting Sarah Marshall – possibly the best movie of 2008, a definite must see… unlike batman.
kristen bell (8/10) – hot pose, hot clothes, and a mirror makes a definite hottt pic. cute face AND body, mmmZ break me off a piece of that!
mila kunis (7/10) – awesomely sexy in the movie. almost makes me want to watch the 70’s show re-runs. hotter in the movie than in pics, but still more bangin than your gf… fo’sho.
vanessa simmons (8/10) – jungle fever strikes again! bangin body, but a little lackin in the face dept. kind of a keri hilson look-a-like. bet you bitches will be blowin up google searchin for more of her pics. (sorry, can’t resize for some reason)
late breaking addition to the post: a hilarious vid passed on by e-mille. this is a real nig i wanna be homies with. had me rolllllin in the beginning yo.
next post: opinionated commentary on the new viaduct replacement tunnel. hopefully you have peeped all the links in this post as it took me ages to find them. till next time kiddos…
Its goin on five weeks now of riding the bus from Hollywood to Venice and its gettin old, actually its been pretty weak since day one. I’m missin the days when it was a 15 minute ride to Burbank; only one bus to take, never crowded, and never really dirty. Now its 3-4 hours a day, two busses, usually packed, and usually it smells. One thing I’ve noticed, the bus drivers in LA are for the most part a lot worse than their Seattle counterparts. I had one guy eating his dinner while he drove us around and another who was talking on his cellphone the whole time without a headset and then yelled at a passenger when they told him he should get one. Hilariousness. Another thing that sucks, transfers are basically useless. No one honors anyone else’s transfer, wtf. Since I have to take LA “RapidTransit” to LA “Metro” and sometimes the Santa Monica line its like $5 a day to take the bus. No wonder everyone has a car down here. I’ll end my rant there, sorry.
Atmosphere-Dreamer
Not really sure why I like this song…actually I’m not even sure if I like it anymore.
Prolyphic & Reanimator – Two Track Mind
Give ‘em a couple listens. I had shelved them after hearing a different track a couple months ago but when I heard this beat I had to give them a second chance. Took me a while to get used to Prolyphic’s voice but I’m feelin their album right now. Its been a long while since I could say that about a non-instrumental hip hop album from someone/someones relatively new.
Prolyphic & Reanimator – On The Side
And another from them, at least let it play til the beat drops and the organs kick in.
Beyonce – Roc
Just so Raymond has something to get out of this post.
And one more thing for Raymond, he was enjoying the weather reports/reporter while he was down here.
With that, I think I’ve filled my quota of blog posts for 2009. Time for the Raymond to take over. Ahem, that f-l-a-k-e.
Who woulda thunk it but Japan is officially a hot bed of producers. I started paying more attention to what was coming out of there after seeing that Japanese label Hyde-Out signed Emancipator. If jazzy hip hop instrumentals appeal to you, feel free to start the jockin along with me. There was the very solid DJ Okawari album earlier this year, stuff from Nomak, more Nujabes, and a lot of people I’m hearing of for the first time. Too bad their CD’s are like 30 bucks since they gotta be imported. I’m still waiting for Amoeba to have the Emancipator CD; regular price or import price I’ll be pickin up a copy for sure. I’m still not a fan of their rappers but maybe they’ll grow on me.
I managed to tag and rename a fair amount of the stuff I’ve picked up over the last 6 months but got nowhere near listening to even a quarter of it. I’ve got plenty of time on the bus to do some listening though and please believe the headphones are on at work constantly. And since Raymond likes to show off his frivolous purchases such as shoes, here bees the headphones the ups man dropped off for me yesterday. Fock yea.
Here’s some highlights of the music I’ve gotten to so far:
Kenichiro Nishihara – Humming Jazz (Album Preview)
Never heard of this dude before but after hearing a few songs I’m a fan.
Smooth J – Lovers
I’m still making my way through this cd, but hot damn. This might be on rotation for a while.
Common Market – Crucible
Yea I’m late with it.
Blue Scholars – Coffee & Snow.
Sabzi is just too good, that’s all I have to say.
Slumdog Millionaire – Escape
Go peep this film if you haven’t yet. If you need a lil eye-candy motivation just look up Freida Pinto (I wasn’t able to find any pics Raymond would consider adequate to post on the blog).
I’m feelin lazy so I just looked up the youtube links. Lemme know if you want the actual mp3’s.
Also, if anyone is interested in a new music player/mp3 manager, go try Songbird from the Firefox peoples. Just because I’m sick of this you must use iTunes bullshit.
That’s about it,its almost back to LA for me. Time to start puttin in some work at work and find a car finally. It was good to be back and to see that everyone’s doin well. Only thing I didn’t get to do unfortunately was hang out with Mr. Drunk Raymond again, I guess there’s tonight but we’ll see. He doesn’t like to commit to anything be it women or plans with friends. I’m also saddened that I missed Pablo’s shenanigans over new year’s eve, sounds like some “top-tier hilariousness” to use one of his terms. Its two posts in a row for me now, I think for the first time in the history of SOP. We’ll have to see if Raymond steps up and stops it from being three in a row.
Hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start, toodles.
Well 2008 is coming to an end. Looking back its been an interesting year. I’m now a socal boy, raymoondo stacked enough money to buy a Ferrari, Eric’s in the motherland, and pretty much everyone is out of school or on their way to some crazy ass degree. Congrats to Jameson and Kajitani on their engagements (I doubt either of them even knows this blog exists but congratulations anyway). But most importantly…Tha Carter III was clearly not the album of the year as was predicted. Anyways, here’s a few tracks to keep things going.
Emancipator – Untitled. Sounds like he’s back to work on the next album, color me excited. I’m sorry he couldn’t be some huge black dude that smokes ganja all day and makes-up beats in his bedroom like raymond wishes. Anyways, try to ignore the whiteness and just listen to the music.
Onra – My Comet. This is what rayray needs to bump when he picks up the bitches. A good lil’ nighttime cruising beat. Girl Talk – Play Your Part (Pt. 1). I wasn’t that big of a fan of the last album but Feed The Animals is pretty solid.
I’m still going through the rest of my music from the last six months, I might be back this week with another post if I come across anything amazing.
So that’s it, looking through the blog I see Raymond is outposting me by about 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1, I could make some excuse about quality over quantity but that’s not really the case, I think he’s just more interesting than me. So big ups to him for keepin this alive. I guess my new year’s resolution should be to catch up with the posting for ‘09…but it probably won’t be.
right off the bat, one of the best video/song combos i’ve seen/heard in a while… def gotta watch it all the way through. mmm, and muchos kudos to beyonce for lookin classy and delicious at the same time.
man there’s been quite a musical drought lately, so i’m glad i stumbled across this. the ne-yo album and some shitty rap has been the only things blazing the airwaves at work. fockin keri hilson got delayed yet again. ‘turn off’ with lil wayne is a hot bangin joint though. speakin of bangin…
don’t forget to celebrate Halloween by checking out the latest edition of Saw V, starring the ONE and ONLY Meagan Good! obligatory visual reference:
look how i kept it SFW for Eric and those baby-children he browses the internet in front of. big shouts to east asia, which currently houses a few of the homies. too bad y’all are gonna miss LOS ANGELES 2008 with guest appearances by yours truly, tpain-izzle, and el conquistador pablo. we’ll be sure to pour some out for you biiitches.
i got bored, so peepz some new kicks. i keep it gangsta at work with my icy white AF1s. then stunt on them niggas on the court with my black on black nikes.
next time, i’ll hit y’all with pics of my new grey NB 991’s. the official shoe of the white man (and steve jobs). fock i’ve been wasting AND losing wayyy too much money recently like i’m a real niglet.
back to my fuckin cse hw and drawing concentric circles with java, cuz i strive to be more smarter like tpain (my hero).
… and you know it, take it out your pocket and show it, then throw it like BLAOW!
maaan things on the Street are crazy right now son. buy/sell/short/call… what to do?! these are some unprecedented times in the financial sector and the impacts are affecting you, me, and even tpain. im gonna come out and say i def do not agree with the bailouts of these huge financial institutions, but i cant really offer a better solution. if we dont bail them out, millions of people could lose their money/jobs/insurance. but how are they going to pick and choose who gets bailed out (aig/fmac/fmae) and who goes bankrupt (lehman bros/indymac)?! i smell something fishy going on with the Fed (the federal reserve, for you dark-skinned folk) and its got me worried. http://finance.google.com has been my most visited site these past few weeks. now… time to make my time make me money, bitche$$$.
in other news, curly hair is wack. and i’m not talking about the down south stuff (cuz its still better to trim the forest, than scorch the earth barren). i’m talkin about curly hairstyles for girls. pretty much no hot girl can rock curly hair and maintain their ‘hot girl’ status. case in point, this breezy i just saw last night on the show House (which is uber gay, but i digress): Olivia Wilde
curly hair:
hotness:
and i rest my case. now if anyone would like to dispute this curly hair wackness, please provide visual evidence and we shall see.
the boys are back! so the new season of Entourage has started and so far, there’s more positive than negative. the season premiere was a solid episode with hearty laughs around; whereas, the second episode, was much more dull and didn’t really push the storyline in any direction. regardless, someone needs to tell mark walhberg to bring Sloan back… merely an excuse to post a pic f’sho! mm mm ‘licious.
so who wants to go to la-la-land? i gots vacation and i gots to use it. i’m thinkin december-ish. the nig (tpain) is offering complementary room and board along with a free night on the town. fock, we might even get on that TMZ if we’re lucky….
muziks update: if you haven’t already, go copz that new TI paper trail album and that colby o’donis album. both have some bangers that keep your third leg snappin to the beat. lastly, tpain and i have finally found another CERTIFIED BANGER… T.I. ft. Usher – My Life, Your Entertainment. if youre not feelin that, you should find another blog to read, as you obviously have horrible taste in everything. smilez. im. out.
Yup its over, not that it really matters anymore. There’s no longer a summer break that would be coming to an end about now and some of us moved to areas without real seasons.
Lets see, what else. I’ve now joined my co-blogger in the ranks of the working class so I’m no longer sitting on my ass all day, at home-I do it in an ac building now. I didn’t blog too much when I was doing that but maybe that was just because I didn’t have much to talk about. Its been a good three weeks now of commuting on the bike. For anyone thinking about doing the same here’s a few pros and cons. Cons: carrying your gear around sucks. Motorcycles getting good gas mileage is a myth, I think I’m getting less than 27 mpg right now w/all the traffic I sit in on my way to work. Pros: premium parking spots, leaving from work is much more fun and 10x more awesome and last but not least lane splitting!!! I’m still not used to it down here but that shiz is ridiculous, completely ridiculous. I still don’t see how it’s legal and 10 years from now it probably won’t be. Goin up the middle on my way home probably cuts my commute in half and I don’t go much over 20mph when I’m splitting (yea traffic sucks a lot for the evening commute).
Here’s a few tracks I’ve been listening to lately. I haven’t really been keepin up with what’s the latest and greatest but it looks like Ray’s got that covered for now.
Nomak – If I Was Peace ft. Fat Jon. I’m not really a fan of Fat Jon but that beat is pretty sick.
Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra – Kiss the Sky. Heard this when I was checking out the snowboard vid Picture This. If you’re into snowboarding or extreme sports movies I recommend it.
keri hilson – mic check, slow dance (first song might even be better than ‘energy’. her hotness needs to release that album already…)
kanye west, jay-z, lil wayne, and t.i. – swagger like us (beat is kinda annoying, but them nigs KILT it)
dj khaled ft. kanye west and t-pain – go hard (this song gets me amp’d at work… but i just sit there)
dre ft. chris brown – flying solo, hologram (i didn’t like these at first, but who can hate on chris breezy?!)
lupe fiasco – hip hop saved my life (i’m a bit late on this, and i’m still not quite diggin lupe’s style, maybe if lil wayne spit this song with that girl on the chorus it could be uber premium)
the game – lax files, my life, money, letter to the king, never can say goodbye, game’s pain, and dope boys (all songs off his album… pretty tasty gangsta tracks. best rap album of the year thus far? quite possibly!)
pics of pies and sexy things… to come at a later date.
t’is all for now kids. check back again for more tasty delights from my world to yours. also leave comments to T-Pain (co-blogger), so he will feel compelled to post more than once a year. it is becoming evident he is nothing more than a big…
There’s been a fury of activity on the blog lately, lets see how long this lasts for, haha.
Glad to see my co-blogger held things down for the most part while I was mia. There was this little thing I had to finish called college. Also the blog has gone coastal, Seattle to LA boi! I’ll save the stories from the City of Angels for a later post though. Since Pedo covered the randomness with his last couple posts I’ll add some tunes.
Uyama Hiroto-A Son of the Sun
This ish finally dropped. After hearing Stratus a while ago I was keepin an eye out for more from this dude. I was a little disappointed after my first listen but I’m gonna give it a couple more plays. Stratus is probably still the best track on the album:
Album: http://www.zshare.net/download/14156374f1d4982f/
(Credit-Hip Hop Revol blog)
DJ Okawari-Diorama
Some more jazz-ish/hip-hop instrumental stuff, great for late night drives (on a side note I really need a car). This album has been on repeat for a while now and I’m putting it up for certification but the lack of “spoken words” don’t help its chances with my co-blogger. Couldn’t find links to the best tracks but here’s a couple so you can get a feel.
