Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning for MVP

I think both of these guys are GREAT QB’s as does everyone else on Planet Earth that’s no argument, however I think one is more superior than the other and that’s Peyton. Reason being, Tom has arguable the greastest coach to walk an NFL sideline at his desposal, thats like Mike Tyson and Ali in their prime jumping Larry Holmes in Vegas, we all know Larry was nice but come on!? It’s just NOT FAIR!!

Manning goes to a new team who were pretty much were sorry until he got there (The Tim Tebow thing was a fluke, lets be real). Great story but come on! Manning is doing this with NO help but himself. He’s made a below average team Super Bowl Contenders, they should be called the Denver “Peyton Show” Bronco’s.

I believe if the roles were reversed and you put Brady on the Bronco’s they would be good but not this good, Brady goes to Josh McDaniels after each series and looks at film. Manning huddles everyone up and schools them like a Midget league coach teaching kids, it’s amazing. Peyton is by far the league’s MVP just on that alone. 4 neck surgeries and a new team? 8 wins in a row? Come on!! Peyton is the truth! Shout out to AP as well.

Where has the Rap Style gone in Hip Hop?

Where did the Rap Style go in Hip Hop? That’s a good question! From the beginning of this underground art form we call Hip Hop every MC to touch a microphone had their own style that separated them from average MC. I mean when Rakim rocked the mic you knew it was him just from his voice and delivery (His style). That’s what made hip hop so pure and so ill back then because of all the different styles and different energy’s.

It was similar to the game Mortal Combat , every level you have a different style and technic to defend against. I mean I can take it back to Melle Mel (his voice and flow was one of a kind), LL (Raw B-Boy style), Run and DMC (different yet complimented each other), Chuck D! (Best voice ever) 3 X Dope, Just Ice, EPMD, Kool G Rap, KRS, Kane, MC Lyte, Q-Tip, Special Ed, Biz, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, The D.O.C, Scarface, the list goes on and on. I can fast forward a little to Snoop, E-40, Big Boi, Das Effects, 1992 Busta Ryhmes (Senerio Remix, still one of the illest verses ever!), the whole Wu Tang! All of those brotha’s had styles of their own.  Big, Pac, Pun, Prodigy, Nas, Hova, DMX, Mystical even Lil Kim had unique styles.

Fast forward to the rap game now. It’s a whole new breed of rappers these days. Everyone thinks they’re a rapper and making a catchy hook and writing below average rhymes are pretty much the standard. The demographic of the culture has changed as well. Everyone all over the world is following the catchy hook weak rhyme philosophy. It’s the world we live in now. Just look at all these reality shows, what happen to the actor? All you have to do now is be a dysfunctional A-Hole and Hollywood is calling. Sad! (The average joe is getting money and that’s cool, good for us but where does corny chaotic bs stop?)

 These TV Producers are making millions of dollars off of people’s ignorance. The scary thing is that Americans love it. As long as it makes money then so be it. Same with Hip Hop, these record labels are making millions off no talented artist with no substance. Now there are a few rappers that still have a rap style and can actually rap in this sea of a million wack rappers! The Young Money crew gets busy! Weezy (stepped his lyrics up, now mastered his own style)) has an all-star squad. Nicki (Stupid dumb nice)and Drake alone! They all have witty lyrics which I love, it’s refreshing!

Rick Ross is nice but he’s a little older and knows what its take to be thoro. So is Kayne (musically genius by the way), TI and Eminem, I really don’t consider them in that new breed of rapper category. Let me clarify something; not every one is going to spit vicious rhymes and be super nice with the wordplay, everyone is different but have some substance and your own identity (meaning style) and take your time when creating music. The real elite artist is dying a slow death! MAKE GOOD MUSIC, matter of fact make a good album! I’m not say no names, you know who you are! Radio Stations, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Hip Hop is ours, lets take it back.

Who is Big Ben? Stud or Dud?

Well I’ll tell you what he is, a STUD! Listen, everyone says; well he has a great defense, guess what!? So did Tom Brady back when the Patriots were winning Superbowls! Ben makes big time clutch game winning plays, he’s Elway with a running game and defense. When Brady was winning Superbowls he was dinking and dunking and getting them in field goal range EVERY time to win. Did I mention he’s playing for the best coach to ever grace a football sideline in my opinion. He balled out (unbelievable season) in 07 with Moss can’t deny that but Tom got beatdown and pretty much slapped around in that Superbowl against the NY Giants which they ended up losing. We all know now that if you hit Tom in the mouth he’s not very good at swinging back. Guess who is ? Not saying Ben is better than Brady but he’s right there with him and Manning.

Lets get something straight; it was Ben (along with Santonio Holmes) who led the Steelers on that last EPIC drive in the Superbowl against the Cardinals not the Defense; who actually without Ben’s heroic’s would have lost that game. It was Ben who drove 90 yards on the Raven’s D that year at the end of the game to win. It was Ben who threw for 500 yards against the Packers in 09 and threw the game winning TD pass to Mike Wallace with NO time on the clock! It was Ben who on 3rd and 19 once again shattered the Ravens hopes of going to the big dance this year. It was Ben who was “Rookie of the year, and single-handedly changed a franchise that could NEVER get over the hump for years in AFC Championship games because the lack of QB play; they were 15-1 that year only to lose to the Mighty NE Patriots.  So we now know he does make the difference huh? Two Rings and going for his third. Only 28? Please! He’s NASTY!

It was Ben who BEASTED the next year in the playoffs (6 seed) throwing darts like he was a 10 year vet to get the Steelers to the Superbowl. Remember that Championship game in Denver? I do! Lit them up!! Yes he didn’t play great against the Seahawks but who wouldn’t be extremely nervous in the biggest game ever with millions of people watching and only your second year in the league. He did score a rushing TD and threw that bomb across his body to Hines Ward with people coming at him Whodini Style! He definitley plays a different type of game than your typical conventional drop back passer but don’t get it twisted he can throw lasers with the best of them. We’ve seen him in shoot-outs before! He’s very accurate when he zero’s in but when the pocket breaksdown is when Ben’s at his best.  Anyway you want it he can bring it. Voltron in Kleets and a Helmet.

These football (fantasy) analyst who get all steamy over numbers and yards really need to evaluate themselves. If I were a GM I would want a coach that recognizes a gem when they see one. It’s obvious most of these guys talent evaluation skills are suspect and I would not want them on my coaching staff. I love Manning but let’s be real, he folds in the playoffs pretty much every year. Guess who doesn’t? We all know the answer to that question. I respect Brady’s game too but as of late he’s been folding in the playoffs too. Guess who doesn’t? We all know the answer to that question. Ben Roethlisberger;  despite his off field antics (Not justifing his behavior, I’m talking strictly him as a NFL QB) is one hell of a football player. If there were 1:45 left on the clock and I had to choose one QB I’m taking Big Ben “Crunch Time” Roethlisberger baby! 6-5 and 250 pounds of pure Nastiness! Get Some! He’s proved more than any other QB in recent years that in crunch time he’s MONEY! Quit drinking that Hatorade people and give that man his proper respect.
