Mayhem - One Day (Video)

Mayhem's first single off of his upcoming album "A Beautiful Mind" which will feature Sha Stimuli, M-Dot, and more. The album will be available this summer. This video is the classic boy meets girl story where the body attracts the girl and loses the girl. Mayhem did an excellent job conveying this story in rhyme form over a mesmerizing beat by Mass Appeal. EMS Productions have utilized the city of Boston and now they have their sights set on world domination.

JoJo Pellegrino - Closer to My Dreams Remix (Video)

JoJo has always been a skilled emcee who has never lived up to some people's expectations. I love this video because I believe it is very moving. For one, it captures the struggles that most emcees go through and it also gives the audience a brief glimpse into Jojo's personal life (picture of his son etc). I have been a fan from JJP's for awhile and I advise you to check out this video as well as his past material.

Motivational Mondays: When Post Celebration goes wrong...

NC State's Darrion Caldwell adds insult to injury by attempting to perform a back flip after beating heavily favored Brent Metcalf. This is when post celebration goes wrong as Metcalf pushes Caldwell in mid air ahahaha. I applaud Metcalf for his actions, I would be pissed if someone did a back flip in front of my face after they beat me. This incident reminds me of the infamous Star incident haha...classic.

Tyler Hansbrough...

Tyler has accomplished a lot throughout his illustrious career at UNC but I still think he is a dud. D - U - D, he will definitely have to prove me wrong and solidify that he is a tough individual. I think that his NBA career will mirror that of Cherokee Parks or as my homie stated Eric Montross!!!

The Art of Friendship...

Hello everybody,

This week's devotional will focus on the art of friendship. I believe that we all need friends or pillars of strength to make it in this evil world. Those who will lift you up in times of need, those who will lend an ear when we need to express ourselves. That is true friendship, the perfect model of friendship can be seen in the bible while scanning I Samuel and II Samuel (I Samuel 18:1-4, 20; 23:16-18; 2 Samuel 1:17-27; 9:13). David and Jonathan shared a bond that went above the so called label of "friendship." David loved Jonathan as a brother and vice versa, Jonathan's death caused David to mourn immensely. Many of us are quick to call associates friends, in my book a friend is someone who will be with you to the end and will correct you when you need direction. I hope that you apply this lesson to your life because I consider you to be my friend. I know that sometimes we become engrossed with physical attributes, economic status, and more but I ask you to look inward, study the directives or the motives of your so-called friends. Are they there to help you fulfill your purpose or are they there to become a hindrance? Thank you for your time and blessings.

Peace and Blessings,
Praverb

In the New Testament Paul shows a talent for gaining friends. In his letters he names many people as his special friends in Christ. In the Book of Acts Paul's friends include even the pagan officials of Asia known as Asiarchs (Acts 19:31).

While friendship on the human level has its joys and consolations, it also has its dangers. Sometimes a friend can fail to dissuade one from an evil action, as Judah's friend Hirah the Adullamite does when he helps Judah make arrangements with a supposed prostitute (Gen 38:12-23). A friend can lead one into sin, as when Jonadab son of Shimeah persuades his cousin Amnon to rape his half sister Tamar (2 Sam 13:1-6). A friend can even lead one to worship other gods (Deut 13:6-11). Proverbs contains warnings about the dangers of bad company (1:10-19; 4:14-19).

Even if a friend does not lead one astray, the friend may cause grief through misunderstanding. Job's three comforters, although they try to be his friends, only make his suffering worse (Job 2:11-13; 6:14-27; 19:21-22; 42:7-9).

Friend - acquaintance; one highly esteemed

Common Nature of:
- Interest.......1 Samuel 18:1
- Love...........1 Samuel 20:17
- Sympathy.......Job 2:11

- Helpful advice..............Proverbs 27:7
- Valuable in time of need....Proverbs 27:10
- Always faithful.............Proverbs 17:17

Dangers of:
- May entice to sin...........Deuteronomy 13:6
- Some are necessary..........Proverbs 14:20
- Some are untrustworthy......Psalms 41:9

Examples of:
- God and Abraham.............Isaiah 41:8
- David and Jonathan..........1 Samuel 18:1
- David and Hushai............2 Samuel 15:37
- Elijah and Elisha...........2 Kings 2:1-14
- Christ and His disciples....John 15:13-15
- Paul and Timothy............2 Timothy 1:2

GET FAMILIAR: Sean ISrael - Still Alive (For Mom)

I have to promote a local homie by the name of Sean ISrael. Sean hit me up awhile back to record a few verses for a couple joints and I accepted and knocked out the verses with ease (easier than now haha). Sean states that the track is a dedication to one of the strongest people that he knows (his mother). The song by itself is very moving as it evokes the bond between child and mother. The video provides the praverbial (I know i spelled it wrong) icing on the cake. Please check out this video and get familiar with Sean ISrael.

Motivational Mondays: 72 Year-Old Body Builder...

From this month forward I will highlight some inspirational videos from Youtube. When I first started this blog I focused primarily on music content, as time progressed I have started to incorporate other areas of interest. Bodybuilding or physical fitness is an area that I love to read about. Jim Morris, a former Mr. America, is a 72 year-old man who is still physically active and sound about his health. The video should serve as motivation for those who think that they are either too old to work out or those who suggest that their time is limited. We have the choice to put our bodies in motion or the choice to be sluggish or lazy. I would love to thank Ross for posting inspirational videos and content on his site as well.
