EJ

I'm 27 years old and proud to call BROOKLYN, NY my home. I love sports, hip-hop music, politics, and intelligent discussions. Obviously, by using the tag: J. HOVA, I am a fan of Jay-Z, his music and his business sense. I am also a proud St. John's alum and will defend my alma mater to the fullest. Favorite Teams: the Michigan Wolverines, the Mets, the Jets, the Lakers, sometimes the Knicks, the St. John's Red Storm (although I hate that nickname...bring back Redmen) and most importantly Manchester United. Also, I am a Soca Warrior for life: of course that would be the Trinidad and Tobago Men's National Soccer team. Favorite player of all time: Former United striker and Trin-bagonian for life Dwight Yorke.

However, I hated the carousel. My biggest worry on the carousel was that while I was spinning around, I would lose sight of my mother. She never got on the ride and when the ride started I would see her, but as the ride turned…

Lately, I have been bored by hip-hop. The major labels are failing, and rappers have been failing to inspire or impress me with their latest offerings. Outside of Nas' Untitled album, and Young Jeezy's The Recession, I have been bored by the staleness that is hip-hop. I have found salvation in some lesser-known rappers like Termanology, Skyzoo, Kid Cudi, Wale, and Charles Hamilton but the likelihood is that if these rappers go from minor to major whatever newness they have now will effectively be murdered by the corporate machine. This is why I have been listening a lot lately to Nesta…

Whether it's music or sports, there are always trends. At first it sounds and looks great but after awhile it becomes stale and nauseating. Bill Walsh was a genius for creating the West Coast Offense but eventually it seems that every team in the NFL ran it. The New York Giants brought the NFL the 3-4 defense but now everyone seems to run the 3-4. The spread offense dominates college football, the Wildcat runs into the NFL and John Calipari's dribble-drive is now in the NBA. At first it looks great but when your team switches to this new trend and bombs then you wonder: "What…
