As I mentioned before, I have a thing for bad boys; and tattoos by all means make you bad. There is just something sexy about a mans arms; it shows his strength. Now take that same man and put Tattoos all over his arms and he instantly becomes this Ultimate Warrior. I love it. I think tattoos really add to the image that the individual wants to portray. Lets take Allen Iverson for example,

 

During his rookie year Allen did any and everything to be the NBA rebel- missing out on practice, butting heads with his coach, inviting his unruly entourage to attend games, but for some reason we couldn't be upset with Allen we understood that all of this was an example of the struggles he had to face growing up, he was not your typical Silver Spoon kid...

Artist Like Lil Wayne & Jim Jones are sporting so many tattoos that they don't even need to wear a shirt, some people may think this is way too much but for me its sexy. The only question I do have ask is "when is old too old" for Tattoos?... Take Skate board P for instance, I LOVE THIS GUY, he's like from another planet in his own little way.  

But now that this NERD is on the fashion scene he wants to clean up his act and the first thing to go are his TATTOOS, AAAAAHHHHHH (Kevin's Home Alone screaming voice)... Pharell has revealed that he is trying a new revolutionary removal procedure, which involves applying new skin over old body art. (OK THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH) It's said to be like a skin graft, you are not taking skin from your legs and reapplying it. These people actually grown the skin for you, first you give them a sample of your skin, which they replicate, then they seamlessly sew it on. OK I STILL THINK THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH. When asked about the cost Pharell stated That's Irrelevant "It's going to be pricey, but worth it." "I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man!"

Which takes me back to my question, "When is old too old for tattoos?"

Now That's What I Call a Headliner...

On Tuesday night my sister Shyah and I took our little brother Anton to the Power House Concert to celebrate his birthday, As we approached the arena I was surprised to see a predominately white crowd of teenagers wearing T-Shirts that read "WEZZY F. PLEASE SAY THE BABY". The show was held at the Izod Center in New Jersey the one thing I love about this arena is any seat is a good seat, well with the exception of the few 100 ppl that were seated directly behind the stage. The lights went out and DJ Kid Capri introduced the first act promptly at 7:30pm... 

D Block approached the stage in classic "Wild Out" tradition with an entourage of about 20, The Lox and peers performed so many hits that it makes one wonder how these same guys were the opening act at Summer Jam 95. They got the crowd hype with hits like "Benjamin's", and solo hits such as "Blow Your Mind". Things were just about to get interesting when Jada said "before we get out of here I want to bring my man to the stage, he's been in the game for a while" and his mic got cut off... LOL I wonder who that could have been, maybe slim from 112? I guess we will never know.

Slim was back stage for sure lol photo SLIM, ED L OVER, FREE, AND BLEEK 

Next up to bat was Neyo, I must say that Neyo held his own, this being a hip hop concert Neyo seemed to fit right in, He brought along the likes of  Jada Kiss, Plies and my personal favorite Fabolous....

Ed Lover and Free formerly of 106 & Park came out to introduce LIL WAYNE, might I add that Free should invest in some diet pills or a membership at a local gym, because she is one honey bun away from well ya'll get the point...  It was painfully obvious that majority of the crowd was there to see Lil Wayne. He approached the stage and received a standing ovation before he even said a word. I'm convinced that Lil Wayne's portion of the show was a rock concert due to the electric guitar that he pretended to be playing the entire set. I didn't understand half of the lyrics but judging by the crowd response and the robe and towel that was placed on him after his set it was a KNOCK OUT performance. 

DJ Clue introduced the final Act, Jay-Z, Shawn Corey Carter, Hova the God, Jigga (I think Jay has just as many names as Diddy).  Anyway I have this saying "if you've seen one Jay Z concert you've seen them all." But on this night Jay had something in store for us, there would be no special guest, No Freeway, No Mary, No State Property, Just Jay, D.J. AM, a little bit of Bleek, Lots of OBAMA, a dash of Bey, and a F*$# BUSH, yep a FUCK BUSH... Before Jay told us to vote for Obama, he told us why he was standing for CHANGE, he performed the 3rd verse of Blue Magic, "Push Money Over Broads, You Got It F*$# BUSH, 

Yes sir Jay used that good ol' Summer Jam tactic, and put Bush in his place... He followed that with a photo of our next President Barack Obama and encourage all to go out and vote on Election Day this coming Tuesday Nov. 4th, 2008

Jay Closed his show with one special guest for the ladies, HIS LADY...

Beyonce graced the stage to inspire all the single ladies, and she let the fellas know if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it... AS JAY DID...

Overall I gave the show an 8, had to take off too points for all the weed smoke in the air...
