Tyler, the Creator Reveals New Album Title
If you’re anti-Tyler, the Creator, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear that the Odd Future frontman’s forthcoming album Wolf, will be less about raping and murdering and more about “hippie music.” In a recent sit-down with SPIN, Tyler spoke about what to expect.
“Talking about rape and cutting bodies up, it just doesn’t interest me anymore… What interests me is making weird hippie music for people to get high to. With Wolf, I’ll brag a little more, talk about money and buying shit. But not like any other rapper, I’ll be a smart-ass about it. Now it’s just girls throwing themselves at me and shit, but I got a girl back home. People who want the first album again, I can’t do that. I was 18, broke as fuck. On my third album, I have money and I’m hanging out with my idols. I can’t rap about the same shit.”
I think the dude finally gets it, he really wants to stay in this music game and realizes its about progression and moving forward.This album should be pretty dope.

DEATH OF THE WORD "BALLIN"
Head Writer
Derek Alan West
Welcome back, this week we're finishing up our Misused/Overused slang series with a word that could have been buried somewhere with jimmy Hoffa circa 2008..."Ballin". It's not so much that I don't care for the word, as much so that I feel it should only be reserved for the times when you are in fact Ballin'.
 |
| look at his concentration.....amazing |
I place the blame for the words surge in popularity solely on the shoulders of Jim Jones. The word had of course been around before his 2006 mega hit "We Fly High (Ballin)" from his album Hustlers P.O.M.E. but it was after that when we started to see parents, children, grandmothers, and even WWE wrestlers not only use the word in everyday life, but also the "hooping" gesture.
The origin of the word obviously comes from the sport of basketball and is used to imply a vast amount of wealth. Like that of what an NBA player would receive from his players contract, endorsements, etc. the issue here arises when the word is applied to situations that are not Ballin'.....at all.
"I was at the club last night son! Ballin out of control! It was $2.00 shots and $1.00 bottlenecks kid! Balllliiiiiinnnn! *makes hooping gesture*
 |
| got the new stunna shades on kid....uh oh.. "BALLIN!!!" |
No, that's not Ballin. That's drink specials at the club to get people through the door. Youre not Ballin because you managed to drink a little more for a little less cash. The whole idea behind Ballin is to not even be worried about the cash you're blowing. So by definition you're the opposite of Ballin because you waited until discount night to hit the town.
Now some would argue that Ballin is relative. What may be Ballin to one person might not necessarily be Ballin to another. For instance if you work a 9 to 5 type job, bringing in let's say $400 a week, then maybe to you, blowing $200 on a night out is what you would call Ballin, and in that instance, I'd say...no. You're wrong. You can't be Ballin on a budget. You simply either are, or you aren't. And let's be real, the majority of us are not.
The one thing I will say about it is that it's a nice dream. It's something to aspire to I suppose. To not have to worry about money. To go out and blow an insane amount of cash on a good time with your homies. We're all in love with the same idea for better or worse. My point is don't make the mistake of projecting yourself to be something you're not. There are people Ballin in the world, ballers. Professional athletes. Rappers. Celebrities. But we can't all be those people. Sometimes it's just best that we be ourselves.
 |
| see this counts.... halfway |
So the next time you're at the strip club with that $100 worth of ones in your left pocket, and your $40 worth of drink money in your right one, do yourself a favor, and do jot scream out "BALLLLLIIIINNNNN" because you're not. Youre just some dude in a strip club with $140 and light hatred of women you'll never be able to afford.

ARE YOU A HATER??
HATERS
By: Derek Alan West
Head Writer
This week my assault on over used or mis used slang terms continues with one of the by far most over used words ever...hater.
 |
| Old School Haters!! |
"Man, I asked her out and she said she doesn't date losers...she's just a hater..."
No, she's not a hater...she doesn't want to date you because you're 27, you live with your mom, you work at Speedway, and your hobbies are play station, weed, and internet pornography. In summation, by definition, you're a loser. She just called you on it. The funniest part about when someone calls someone else a hater, the person being called a hater is usually telling the truth, and in turn get labeled as being a hater for doing so.
"My professor gave me another D. Damn that dude is such a hater..."
Wrong again Cheech. You got a D because you opted to go get drunk 6 nights out of the week, rather than just study for a few hours and get your head right. Your professor is not a hater. Even if he wanted to hate on you, trust me he doesn't have the time. It also doesn't help that your hobbies include play station, weed, and Internet pornography. Are we noticing a trend here?
 |
| umm....Really?? smh |
Google doesn't have a definition for the word hater, and I don't count the Urban Dictionary as a credible source so the following is my definition of the word hater:
Hater - (hay-tur) noun.
Someone who dislikes something about someone else.
So by my definition we are all or we have all been haters at some point or another during our lives. Hell I've apparently been a hater since kindergarten when Tommy Flanagan managed to get the ghostbusters firehouse play set before me. My point is we can't deem everyone a hater because we don't like something they do or say.
The only thing worse then people who call others haters, are the people who claim to have haters. I won't say names, but I recently saw a friend of mine on Facebook use the following as her status: "I love my haters"
Really? You're a dental hygienist from central Ohio who works and lives in Pittsburgh...who is hating on you? Really?
Look I get that everyone has little quirks that bother us. Shit sometimes the quirks downright piss us off. But the term hater has become so over used and out of control that it's hard to define anyone as anything but.
 |
| apparently I was told this was my favorite drink... |
I'll go ahead and say it...I'm hating on haters.

Kanye West & Jay-Z Perform @ 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
This is hilarious... it was supposed to be a night highlighting some of the most gorgeous women in the world at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York, turned into for a lack of a better word.... a Sausage fest. "Kanye West, Jay-Z and Maroon 5 all took to the stage to perform as the scantily-clad Victoria’s Secret models stalked the catwalk around them. Not to be outdone by the musical impresarios, Miranda Kerr would later emerge in a 2.5 million dollar bra studded in diamonds. This was a particularly emotional moment for West, as he lost his mother just prior to being scheduled to perform at the 2007 event." check out somemore pics below.
