Honestly, this is 'keeping it real'. Yeah..yeah..yeah..I know. It isn't 'gangsta' enough for some of you. ~ Thoughts of A Predicate Lifer

Honestly, this is 'keeping it real'. Yeah..yeah..yeah..I know. It isn't 'gangsta' enough for some of you.

Last I checked, dead men don't talk. Would love to hear from some of my own friends who have died if how they 'lived their lives' is as great as they were proclaiming it to be now that they are gone. (Hopefully) Watching their children from afar. No slip and slides. No drives to the park. No 'taking care of their families'. I am pointing this out 'cause while the rest of you will laugh at the video and say you have people that are turning into this, there is a whole other section of folks who will be laughing because they have somehow gotten it into their heads that living is corny. And that growing up to be able to do some of the things in the video that are being 'poked fun at' is for suckers. I wonder how their kids feel about that as they grow up without them? Wait, I don't have to. They are pretty vocal and demonstrative about it. They lash out in school. End up spray painting the highway and oh yeah, they act like Daddy or find someone just like him. Somebody is gonna get mad because I bought this up and probably never visit here again. Good. 'Cause I was talking to you as you are probably part of the problem. Somebody needs to tell you. Get out there and be a damm Dad and leave them fucking Scarface dreams in the movies. If you did it to get bread for your kids, DO THAT. Stop stunting for these gals and ni##as who don't give a shit about you, help our kids and GET OUT OF THAT LIFE so you can do like these dudes are in the video. With your own twist of course. Your kids need you and quite frankly I am tired of mentoring them and having to 'lift you up' even though your actions are saying I should denounce you. Hearing stories about shit you did 20 years ago and how you were the 'man' that AREN'T PAYING FOR YOUR CHILD NOW, HELPING RAISE THAT CHILD OR DOING HIM/HER ANY GOOD WITH GROWING UP IN THE REAL WORLD. That shit isn't helping them. Your presence will though. I hate to get all Furious Styles on you ni##as but I have to pick my spots. I love ass, women, cars, money and great times too but there is a time and a place for it all. Find it. Now.

Yes, I really did just turn this funny moment into a PSA for 'Motherf#cker Do Better!'. What of it? Somebody needs to say it...

and I add a motherf#cker so you ignorant ni##as hear me- L- Boogie

Enjoy the video. (Thanks Tish)

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
