Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao VS David “Dangerous” Diaz: Prediction

Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao VS David “Dangerous” Diaz: Prediction

Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao and David “Dangerous” Diaz will square off the Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

We all know who Manny Pacquiao is: the kid who went to from selling cigarettes on the streets of Manila to on of the most important sports figures in the world. G Manifesto Style. Rumor has it that even rebels in the mountains of the Philippines take a break and watch his fights.

Most people don’t know who David Diaz is. Well, he is a 1996 US Olympian (and he beat Zab “Super” Judah to make the team). He also has racked up a record of 34-1.

More importantly, Diaz defeated Tijuana Legend Erik Morales and sent him into retirement.

The big question is whether or not Pacquiao, who started his career as a kid at 106 lbs, can handle the move up in weight to lightweight (135 lbs, for those of you who don’t know what time it is). Most people think the move up in weight won’t matter and Pacquiao is going to blast out Diaz.

As much as I appreciate Pacquiao’s power, speed and chin, I don’t think he is going to steamroll Diaz. In fact, I think Diaz has more than a puncher’s chance of an upset.

Diaz is tough, has a ton of heart and likes to mix it up. I also have a feeling that Pacquiao is looking past Diaz.

Still, I can’t see Pacquiao losing a decision these days. And I have a feeling he is going to win by a decent margin in a fight that should hold us over until Miguel Cotto VS Antonio Margarito.

Monet’s Water Lily Pond breaks record at auction

Monet’s Water Lily Pond breaks record at auction

“Le bassin aux nymphéas,” or “Water Lily Pond,” sold for 40.9 million pounds (51.7 million euros, 80.5 million dollars) at Christie’s in London by an unidentified woman in the front row.

This piece was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings Monet busted out.

The painting fetched a pretty heavy price since it had previously sold purchased in a 1971 New York auction for $320,000. It had remained in private hands since.

This painting shattered the auction record for the French impressionist artist. Last May, “Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil” sold for $41.4 million.

Monet painted the masterpiece at his crib in Giverny in 1919, and it is one of four that he signed and dated that year.

Of the other three, one is kicking it in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, another has been divided, while the third is in private hands.

The art world keeps on plugging away despite the weak world economy.

The disparity between rich and poor grows wider….

Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III

» 23 June 2008 » In Guide, hip hop » 7 Comments


Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III

Being down in Buenos Aires I kind of missed this one.

Lil Wayne’s latest album, “Tha Carter III” (Cash Money), sold a million copies in its first week — the first release to cross the seven-figure threshold since 50 Cent’s “The Massacre”.

This most likely will save the slumping record industry.

Guess all those mix-tapes paid off for the kid from New Orleans that created the phrases “bling bling” and “drop it like it’s hot”

Lil Wayne – 3 Peat

Lil Wayne – Mr. Carter ft. Jay-Z

Lil Wayne – A Millie

Lil Wayne – Got Money ft. T-Pain

Lil Wayne Ft Babyface – Comfortable

Lil Wayne- Dr. Carter

Lil Wayne – Phone Home – Cool & Dre

Lil Wayne – Tie My Hands

Lil Wayne – Mrs Officer

Lil Wayne – Let The Beat Build

Lil Wayne – Shoot Me Down

Lil Wayne ft. Static Major – Lollipop [Uncensored]

Lil Wayne – La La

Lil Wayne – Playing With Fire

Lil Wayne – You Ain’t Got Nuthin (Ft. Fabolous & Juelz Santana)

Lil Wayne – DontGetIt

Sick Sample: Fast Life – Happy

Sick Sample: Fast Life – Happy

Thanks to Chris, I had to throw up (and I don’t mean burners either) Surface’s “Happy”.

Surface – Happy

Sampled on G Manifesto Certified Track Kool G Rap and Nas “Fast Life”

Which was first seen on The G Manifesto’s The Del Mar Racetrack (which if you hadn’t noticed is the next leg on The G Manifesto Tour.)

The time has come, we gotta expand, the whole operation
Distribution, New York, to Chicago, L.A.
We gotta set our own market, and enforce it

“Fakers get used to shooting targets, soon as the dark hits
Front on the drug market, bodies get rolled up in a carpet
Those that cheat us try to beat us we got hookers with heaters
that’ll stray pop and put more shells in your top than Adidas
The leaders, looking straight crimy in our Giorgio Armani’s”

Going out in Buenos Aires tonight. Innovative maneuvers…by the time the night ends, I will probably start another trend.

Dope “Close” Tracks

» 19 June 2008 » In Guide, hip hop, Music » 2 Comments


Dope “Close” Tracks

I always get these two tracks confused. Atlantic Starr’s Let’s Get Closer and Surface’s Closer Than Just Friends.

These tracks, some vino tinto, weed sticky like a post-it note, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of pimp, a little bit of mack. Really all you need.

Atlantic Starr – Let’s Get Closer

Surface – Closer Than Just Friends

Surface – Closer Than Just Friends was of course sampled on:

Shyheim – This Is Real

My Game embraces, many pretty Argentinian girls faces.
