PSG, Paris Sera Grand; the [re]birth of a European Super Power

In contemporary football, first Chelsea then Manchester City were revolutionized by extensive injections of [oil based]money. Today, it was announced that yet another team would benefit from black gold, allowing its supporters to dream of what is to come.

After the news of Qatar winning the bid for World Cup 2022, it seemed that the country had to justify their involvement, after all the country was little known for their football fanatics and more for their ability to splash money towards retired European stars. With their bid accepted and people left scratching their heads about the first World Cup held in the Middle East, Qatar decided to prove to the world that they too were contimated the [footy] fever.

The first step towards gaining Football respect was to become the second company ever to appear on Barcelona's [Blaugrana] jersey, the first being Unicef. Mission accomplished with the 2011-2012 kits featuring "Qatar Foundation" across the chest of the newly crowned Spanish and European Champions. The second objective, proves to be a bit more a challenge, making a struggling major city, in a struggling league [la Ligue 1] a major European force. What better city to host a Football firepower than the french capital, [my beloved] Paris.

Though the [PSG] team has been struggling and yearning for both titles and European glory for some time now, it has been the home of the likes of George WEAH, David GINOLA, Paul LeGUEN, [current coach] Antoine KAMBOUARE, Marco SIMONE, Jay-Jay OKOCHA, Michela ARTETA, Gabriel HEINZE [current Marseilles player aka traitor], Nicholas ANELKA, Rai, Leonardo and Ronaldinho [to name a few stars].Could it be that fans who have had to endure shameful depction as hooligans and violent [clinging on to the past] wishful thinkers in the media, could finally be reward for their loyalty. Stay tuned to find out as the world's eyes turn to the city of lights being inundated with oil-based funds.

Native Sun (A Short Film by Blitz The Ambassador)

Native Sun • A short film by Blitz the Ambassador & Terence Nance from MVMT on Vimeo.

A short movie that gives you glimpse into what Africa and the African spirit truly is. A perfect equilibrium between the joyful and collective mentality of the African people regardless of their surroundings. An ability to keep smiling regardless of what obstacles are put in front of you. Blitz and Terrence Nance did a wonderful job personifying the mother land as they shot this in Ghana with Blitz's music serving as the soundtrack. A bit of a long clip, but definitely worth you taking the time to enjoy it. Blitz The Ambassador's album Native Sun s available now, make sure to pick it up.

The second city of the Bay, Oakland, is being put on the map. Nor Cal veterans E-40 and Too Short and even [half of the Luniz crew] Yukmouth, showing love to the [other] city by the bay and still part of the Battle of the Bay Weekend.

E-40 - I Love My Momma

Not only is t the Battle of the Bay special, but it happens to also be the birthday of the person who gave me the foundation for being who I am. The one who gave me life, whom I respect most and owe everything to. Joyeux Anniversaire Maman, Happy birthday Mom!

E-40 - That Candy Paint

The Bay's own and probably the most consistent artists from NorCal, E-40 aka forty-fonzarelly recently released his double album entitled Revenue Retrievin’. He brings Bub-B and Slim Thug[gah, no braids nowadays] together to display the similarities between the laid back down south [swag] and the eclectic Yay! Yadadamean!?

Mistah Fab - Sneakerhead

The Bay weekend is coming up, with the Battle of the Bay [SF Giants vs. Oakland A's) on Saturday we have to rep for the Bay. Mistah Fab one of the top players in the game puts out a track about the art of footwear apparel collecting.



Yeah everybody know me, yeah i luv the Lakers but I'll never wear Kobes

Work hard, play hard

As the 2010-2011 football season comes to an end, teams around Europe are being crowned champions while others worry about possible relegation. In Spain, Barcelona breezed through the competition to collect another title. In Germany, Dortmund and their incredible 85,000+ fans dominated all season long. In Holland, Ajax triumphed over their rivals. The French Championship is still to be determined over the next couple of matches, but it seems Lille maybe favored to top defending champs Marseilles. The big paychecks finally paid off for English side Manchester City as they celebrated their first silverware in 57 years by claiming the FA cup over Stoke City (the Premier League, on the contrary, was so disappointing it's not even worth mentioning). In Italy, AC Milan regained their title from their crosstown rivals Inter, celebrating their title victory in their brand new kits. The game was followed by a special dance performance from Ghana international Kevin-Prince BOATENG. The Milan midfielder had promised that he would display his best Michael JACKSON impersonation if his team ended the season top of the league. A delight for the fans and his teammates, a true testament that LIFE indeed IS BUT A BALANCE.

Nyle - Let the Beat Build

One take video shot by rapper Nyle. Favorite line, "dudes acting like they're street when they're barely side walk." Gotta love the banjo call out too.

Beat Boston, check...

After a wonderful and exciting series, the Miami Heat displayed [regardless of all the critics] how a team is supposed to come together. Last night, we finally saw a glimpse at what "putting work in' is all about. In the last three minutes of the game Lebron JAMES turned it on and sent the Celtics packing. With the Lakers out of the title race, could this be the Heat's year?

Happy Mother's Day

On this day of celebration, we honor the person that we all love and admire, the person who with care and tenderness taught us the basis of life. Though the noun describing her varies depending on the language, she still represents an unmeasurable and insatiable amount of love and tenderness where you call her "Mother, Maman, Muti or Mama."

Out of the many artists out there that celebrated the connection they have with their mother and characterizing our own personal sentiment is the late 2Pac. Displaying to perfection the realization and gentle acceptance of what our Mothers do for us. take the time to tell her what she means you, thank and cherish her cause without her, none of us would be here.

Bonne fete Maman!

New Arsenal Kit

After a difficult season and many wasted opportunities the Gunner finally rewarded [us] its fans this weekend. The weekend match against arch-rivals Manchester United brought hope back to the Emirate Stadium and with its solid performance the Gunners reset the dream in motion. The 1-0 victory against the [cheating] Red Devils, demonstrated that when teams are whiling to play actual football against us [rather then backing the back waiting for counter attacks], we will dominate. Our success thus did rely on Man U's confidence. Though a controversial call [Blatant Vidic hand ball in the box] was somewhat overlooked, the Gunners were rewarded for their composure and pressure by an Aaron Ramsey goal. Wenger and his army have not only offered us redemption at a chance for the title, but also blessed players and fans by not allowing bendtner [the danish disaster] to come on and pollute the game. A happily accepted victory and gift which was topped off by the release of the new kit and & Crest images.

Ooh to, ooh to be, ooh to be a Gooner!!!!

Trump for.... President? Really?

President Obama and Seth Meyers [from Saturday Night Live] display their comic side by holding up a mirror and allowing Donald trump and the republican party to see their true colors. This mini roast, though it does bring more [regretful and unnecessary] attention to the Donald Trump [joke of a]campaign for President, demonstrates how much of a knee slapper our political system risks becoming if wealthy individuals [with absolutely no political background aside from their fund raising ability] begin to be taken seriously.
