The King is Back!!! T.I Trouble Man; Heavy is The Head (review)

Good morning guys!
2012 is about 2 weeks away from being behind us and if the said apocalypse actually does take place on the 21st, we can rest in the knowledge that we lived to enjoy some of the best hip-hop tunes ever made! 2012 has been an exceptional year for hip-hop music, rappers really did some good work and released loads of quality material, the most recent of which is the new album by the King of the South, T.I!!! Trouble Man; Heavy Is The Head is the King's 8th studio album set to be released (officially) on the 18th of this month. Thankfully however, someone felt there was no point waiting that long and decided to leak it 5 days early. I had the album on repeat all day yesterday and I have to say it has to be among the best hip-hop albums I have ever heard. I have to say I desperately needed to listen to some quality hip-hop especially after the disappointment of Wiz Khalifa's O.N.I.F.C ( story for another day) . My friend and I sat in awe as we listened to one potential hit after another. Basically, everything on the album has the potential to become a smash hit. The Album features a host of artists only of the highest caliber including R Kelly, Cee-Lo Green, Akon, Andre 3000, Lil Wayne and Pink. T.I went hard on the this project. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate this album as an 8.9. I am definitely tipping him to win multiple awards next year....assuming we make it till then that is ;)

Help

Whenever I use the public transport system in this town I always get a story. It's because the public transportation allows one to interact with the society and feel it's pulse in a way that is almost impossible from the comfort of a private vehicle. So yesterday I got off a bus at Julius Berger round about at around 5pm, rush hour. Naturally there was a fair amount of traffic, pedestrian and vehicular. I had just arrived in the city from my outpost in Gwagwalada and I was hurrying to get in a cab and out of the blistering sun. That was when I saw something that made me stop. There was a crippled man along the sidewalk. His limbs were shrunk and shriveled and he could only manage to drag his malnourished body along the curb using his forearm while accepting alms from motorists and passersby who threw their loose change in his direction. He looked very exhausted and he had his hands full but every time a  note was thrown out of a moving car or dropped by a pedestrian he would ...

If Your "Insurance Bank" does not support your Business, you need a new Church

Salvation... The cornerstone of all religious establishments. The Human race is so terrified of the doom that is promised to come upon the many who will not be saved and this in turn has led to a great deal of desperation among men to gain this salvation.  In our world today and speaking from a Nigerian perspective, the need for this spiritual "assurance" if I may call it that, has inspired the birth of a multi billion Naira industry - Souls Insurance Banking (SIB) wherein a few clever men have learned to take sacrilegious advantage of this widespread desperation among people and have now debased the sanctity of God's Word to the level of Insurance Banking. In this business, the insurance bankers (pastors) devise different means (some contradicting others) of selling this insurance package, that is the comforting hope of salvation to this Gullible Population. Worse still, people don't mind! It is common place in this country to hear stuff like "I call on the go...

Who I Am

The more things change, the more the stay the same. This is the story of the world we live in today as we seem to be stagnated in a constant flux between the hopeful possibility of a better, more peaceful, healthier future and a cataclysmic devolution into irreversible anarchy. The handwritings are on the walls and pretty much everywhere else you look. Global Warming is ravaging the earth - no thanks to our collective irresponsibility. Global warfare on another note has spiralled out of control, with the institutions of state facing new kinds of enemies - the faceless kinds who are happy enough to just spread the gospel of fear. Global population is on an uncontrollable rise and we all keep saying the same things, attributing our actions and inactions to the will of the almighty. It all has to be part of THE PLAN. We pretend that the world is some kind of fictional place where all our actions have pre determined consequences of which we need not take responsibility and when they turn ...
