The Name Game

Williams, Jenkins, Smith, Davis, Brown, Johnson, Jones, Turner, Allen, Jackson, Washington, etc. What do these name have in common? They are typical "Nigga" last names. And when I say "Nigga", I don't mean to sound so mean or negative. But you already know when you see one of these last names, a black person is bound to be coming thru the door.
Now lets talk about last names for a minute and the whole purpose of this blog entry. White people, you won't be spared either. I'm going to get to you guys as well. My ignorance has no color boundary at all. But I'm going to speak about black people first because when I wake up in the morning, adjust my balls and look in the mirror, I see a black man. (A special fuck you to the people for years who ask me if I am sure if I am black.) But on the real, when you see one of these last name, a majority of the time, an application killer first name goes along with it. What is an application killer? An application killer is a name that is going to fuck up you or your kids from getting a job. Let me give you a few first names that are already application killers.
Tyrone
Shawn if it is spelled that way
Tasha
Any name that starts with La or De and has a full name following it (Example: DeAndre)
Any name that starts with Sha or ends with it
Any name that has Quita somewhere in it or just happens to have qu in the name
Willie
Jerome
Jamal
Luther
Any name where the "Z" replaces the "S" (Example: Jazmine)
Any name that ends with "iara" or "ya"(Examples: Tanya, Toya)
There are several others. You see, black people have a thing with naming their children some names that make you say

Especially if they have one of them "nigga" last names. I remember when I was in school, there was this kid name Jerome Allen. I didn't know him until school. So when the teacher was calling the role and I saw this white kid raise his hand, I was astonished. But he said he went by the name Scott. Smart, smart. He already knew he was doomed with that name. And I'm not talking about it because he was white. He knew plan as day that whenever he filled out an application, a lot of the application would be rejected strictly on his name. There was a woman who I worked with who gave her baby a real elegant name, a name the momma knew damn well did not fit. But the kicker was the last name combination. She already had a "nigga" last name and got married to another "nigga" last and had the nerve to hyphen it. So before, her name was "Sha@# Hopkins" and then it became "Sha@# Hopkins-Brown." The fuck? So she names her kid this elegant first name with that combination of that last name. Picture a person at an interview saying, "Nice to meet you, Olivia. Hopkins-Brown. Hopkins-Brown? What the fuck is this shit?" If it was Olivia and one of the last names, that might be acceptable, but not no combination. The thing is, people, if you already have one of these nigga last names, please, please give your kid a first name that might throw people off. Maybe your great grandparents owned slaves and you could be white with one of these last names. (Think Thomas Jefferson, George Washington) But if you have one of these last names, name your kid something old like Mary or Benjamin. If you take any of the last names and put them with any of them first names, APPLICATION KILLER!

White people, what the fuck is your problem? Naming your kids after comic book characters and dictators? Some poor white trash shit. Did you hear about the couple who named their kids Adolf Hitler Campbell & gave their other kid the middle name of Aryan Nation? Aryan, cool, but Nation killed that whole name. There was a story of parents who named their son Superman, but after the name 4real was rejected. Another dumb ass name I heard that some white people named their kid was "Like" because of the "Like Button" on Facebook. Seriously, what the fuck is your problem, white people. Stop trying to create names. Leave that shit to black people. What happen to the wholesome names like Ann, Beth, Becky, Tod, Tim. The simple 3-5 letter names. I'm pretty sure there is a kid out there who is name Raggedy just because their middle name is either Ann or Andy. Stop with the stupid shit. A few months ago, I met a man whose last name was Dick. Now there is one famous person who I know has Dick as the last name and that is Andy. But this bastard's parents had the nerve to name him Harry. Yep. Harry damn Dick. When he told me his full name, of course I didn't believe him. Me being ignorant and someone who says what is on his mind, of course I called him a damn liar. He showed me his ID and it read "Harry Dick." But he said he went by the name of Jim. Jimmy, dick, okay. Maybe he didn't see it that way, but I sure did.

People, people, people, niggas and poor white trash, all people in general, we need to cut this shit the fuck out. You might think it's cute to name your kid's these names, but in the years to come, these kids are going to have to go to school and most likely, get ridiculed. (Teased for the people who don't know what that means. Hey, I do have an education.) Of course you don't care because you think these names are cute. But for real, they aren't. People, cut that shit out. People who name their kids these names usually look like this.

That Dope!

“Crack is wack.” That’s what Whitney Houston said. But as I have seen, some crack heads have recovered from their addiction while others are still struggling from it. Here is my top ten crack heads. Some have recovered while relapsing and others are still on that shit.

10. Ray Charles

The movie alone told you home boy didn't give a shit. Maybe he couldn't see what he was snorting. (I know I'm wrong) "You got the right one, baby" all right. But rest in peace.

9. Rick James

I know you remember hearing about Rick tying some broad up and beating the shit out of her. Also, you may remember hearing how he made the woman smoke crack all day. And you think when he wrote "Party All the Time", he really was talking bout dancing and shit?

8. Michael Irvin

In 2005, Michael Irvin was on his way to a furniture store. As he was pulled over, the police officers found a crack pipe in his car. When was the last time you just happen to have a crac pipe laying around in your car?

7. Robert Downey, Jr.

In the 90's and early 2000's, if you listened to the news, this mug was getting arrested over and over for getting busted with dope. But he did eventually turn himself around and started making big movies.

6. DMX

For real, do I need to even explain anything for this dude? When he first came out as an rapper, he sounded like he was on crack. Look at his mannerism. He has crack head tendencies. How do I know crack head tendencies? Aww, I think every family has at least one crack head in it.

5. Richard Pryor

Richard himself would tell you in some of his jokes that he was on that dope. Did you watch "JoJo Dancer, Your Life is Calling?" Watch this clip and you tell me.

4. Charlie Sheen

This year, you couldn't go a week without hearing about this dude. I mean, c'mon now. In the 80's and 90's, this dude was getting arrested week after week for being doped up. This dude even said crack is okay if you can manage it socially. True words from a crack head.

3. Marion Berry

In 1990, the FBI bust Marion Barion in a hotel for crack while he was "Partying" with some hookers. Not only was he arrested and spent time in jail, but this mother fucker was reelected as mayor of DC. And y'all wonder why there are so many crack heads in DC and the roads are fucked up.

2. Whitney Houston

Whitney, Whitney, Whitney. Now I could have linked Bobby Brown to this post, but in my eyes, I don't think he was bigger than any of the previous 8 I named. Now Whitney was the shit in the 80's and 90's. And then she married Bobby Brown. Now I always thought Whitney had that ghetto mentality to begin with. I mean, she is from Newark and Newark ain't no easy place to grow up. But every since she hit the pipe, it's been nothing but a downfall. Too many examples to pin point. Even though she said crack was wack, bitch please.

1. Oprah Winfrey

Now if this bitch can do crack and be one of the wealthiest people in the world, some one pass me a crack pipe. Oprah was straight hood with her shit. Made her own crack and was free basing. That's what I'm talking about, Oprah.

So for all you crack heads reading this, you can make it if Oprah can. What the hell am I talking about if you are reading this. All the electronics have already been sold for that rock. But readers, if I am missing anybody, let me know. Or if you think my rankings are a little messed up, let me know. Peace.

It's Been a Long Time, I Shouldn't Have Left You...

I know, I know it's been a minute since I wrote an actually blog, but hey, HE'S BACK!!! And I make a promise to take this more serious. Plus, I been inspired by an ex-coworker who I see updating his blog every week.
http://erickochliving.blogspot.com/
So where have I been? What's up with the Durty Truth? This has been a few questions that I get from time to time when I do sign on to messenger. Let me answer the first question first because that second one might be a little lengthy.
So where have I been?
Chilling.
Relaxing.
Focusing.
Restarting.
Dealing with school. (Maintaining this 3.75 GPA is kinda tough.)
Being daddy.
Working (Still waiting on this got damn government job.)
I know these are not excuses for not writing and keeping everybody in-tuned with my comical life and the bull shit that comes along with it, but hey. After the talk show bull shit, I had to refocus. I got things up my sleeves, but with these wack ass hours, I gotta wait until I get a regular ass schedule again.

So what exactly happen with the Durty Truth? Why aren't you on there anymore. First off, shout out to Mr. Lex. Been my ace boom coon for the past 13 years, way before the show. That's been my brother for years and the only person from the panel who I have talked to on a weekly basis. And when we rap, we rap about life, not the Durty Truth. Because when I said I was done with the show, I was DONE! And I meant that to the fullest. So where did it go wrong? People would say on New Years, but it was actually before that. I always felt the show was getting out of hand. But I was loyal to Lex because he gave me the opportunity to be on HIS show. I knew with me, we could bring some laughter to the people who listened. But with the show, it was getting out of hand for me. We didn't have topics, we weren't promoting (Myself included), and the show just sounded like niggas talking. So then New Years came. And mutha fuckas thought I was suppose to act ignorant in a damn restaurant and in public. People think I was suppose to be like Hulk Hogan all day, wrestling people 24/7. Let me say this. The shit that comes out of my mouth isn't an act or staged. When you take me there, you get what you get. But I was raised a certain way and if you listened to some of the shows, people had it in their mind that I thought I was better than them. Well in actually reality, I am. Why? Because you people had the nerve to question me on that. Not one time did I say I was better than anybody.
Was I better comedian?
Yes.
Was I good at hosting?
Yes.
Was I good at letting callers get their words out, then booting them the fuck off the phone?
Yes.
Was I the star of the show?
Hmmmm.
Is the show better without me?
You tell me.

So on my very last show, when we had Mike #2, I was just being me. But certain people thought I was sabotaging ol' boy. Anybody who knows me personally knows everything was all in jokes with me. If you listened to the show, you heard me saying over and over again, "I'm just playing." People actually thought I was on Facebook and telling people to call in and dog homeboy. Hello, people was already on that piece saying they didn't like him. But that's not here or there. When I was muted for about twenty minutes, people was on the show saying I felt some type of way and was nervous about homeboy taking my spot. Seriously, I didn't personally care who took my spot because there is only one Mike. So listening to that shit made me realize that niggas on the show was fake as fuck. Then I heard the show the week after and heard that I should be happy Lex was giving me my own show because one of the other panel members was more popular than me. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Lets be honest. 3/4 of the people who called in knew the other panel members personally. So if anybody who called in became cool with me, that was a friendship earned, not on some "I know this person" shit. But it's cool. It's cool because I was already done with the show. I was going to do the Sunday gig, but I honestly did not want to start all over with new people. Even though some of the people on the show felt how they felt about me, I didn't know any of the people on the show on a personal level besides Lex. Plus, if I was going to do the show, I needed it to be perfect. I didn't want it to be rushed or forced. I'm not saying that it won't come down the line, but if it happens, its going to be the shit, fool. Trust me.
I took down all the Durty Truth stuff and vacated myself from the page because if I'm not on the show, why give a fuck about what the show is doing? Plus, it was Lex's show. He let that shit be known. Haha. Me and him still laugh at that shit. There has been a few people who called in to the show who have kept in touch with me and it's mad love. And I honestly wish nothing but the best for the show. Who knows, I might come back if it was meant to be. But for now, Turner is rolling dolo. Whatever I do when it comes to entertainment, Lex knows he is a part of it. My fav five don't have to worry about shit. (TFOX, Mr. Lex, L-Boogie, Simmons, & D Clubbs.) One of these people don't know that is about to be four because I don't do the friendship shit on a temporary basis. So with that being said, it's time to get restarted.
Let's go!

Mike Turner Meets the Wu: December 18th, 2010

So people are quick to say that Wu-Tang is irrelevant. Oh yeah? Well fuck you. Well I have a history with one of these dudes and if you know me, you know who, but I will not run down the history. So last night in the cold, I became a fan for a minute. You see, with this dude, me and him have always been cool where I do not even talk music with him. I talk to him like a normal ass dude and vice versa. So I seen dude over the Thanksgiving holiday and told him how I saw that him and the Clan was coming to town in December. He checked his I-Phone and said yeah and that I could bring a couple friends.
Say word?

Since I didn't have anybody particular that I wanted to come with me, I posted a message on Facebook and said that if anybody was interested in going with me to let me know. And oh boy, did it bring out the groupie bitches and goofy ass niggas. And I mean what I say. People who I don't talk to on a regular or broads who only have me as a friend because I'm friends with someone they know. Get the hell out of here. So eventually, my mind was made up and I let them know, "Don't invite nobody." Cool.
So I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait to hear back from my sister. She is the real person who has the connect with homeboy even though I know him.
I get e-mails and calls from the dudes and I'm like, I will let you know what's up when I find something out. I know they probably thought I was bull shitting. So yesterday comes and I go get fresh, just in case I do go to the concert. I hadn't heard from my sister, so I didn't know what was up.
Boom.
I get the text. My name is on the VIP. Say word?
So me and the dudes who were rolling with me drove to the place they were performing mad early. I didn't want no bull shit to go down and had to make sure I was on that list. I walk in the line were I was suppose to get my tickets.
"Mike Turner."
"I'm sorry, but your name isn't on the list."
Panic mode.
"What the fuck!" I think to myself.
So I call my sister and ask her what the deal is. She says she will call me back.

Interlude
One drink.
Two drinks.
Three drinks.

Ok. I'm nice now. So I call my sister back an hour later and said my name should be on the list now. Cool. So me and the dudes get back in the line and we try again.
"Mike Turner."
The guy looks down the list and I look down with him. "Sorry, but your..."
I interrupt him because I saw the nickname that everyone calls me and the emcee calls me.
"That's me right there, Michael J."
I show the dude my license and it's a good thing that I have Jr. on my license when I explained to him the J part.
Cool. We're in there now.
So we have to get in the line to now get into the State Theater now.
Cool. We in here.
The place is packed. Packed. There was a group on stage performing, but it wasn't Wu, so fuck em. All I am thinking now is, how am I going to get backstage. Before we got inside the theater, I had talked to a few people and they told me where I should be when the Clan's bus arrived.
Cool. We're in there. I think.
It's freezing outside. Cold as hell. One of the dudes who is with me is getting on my fucking nerves because he is trying to freestyle and is tripping all over himself. Trust me, his hanging pass has been revoked like shit. There were people outside, inside the smoking area, doing the same shit we were doing, waiting to see the Wu.
About two hours pass before we start seeing buses coming through. But by this time, Wu's opening act, La the Darkman was performing and a lot of the people in the smoking section had went inside. But right when the buses started pulling up, people made their way back outside. So the buses start to empty. Okay, no Wu-Tang, looks like a few weed carriers. While this one bus is emptying out, another bus pulls up. You can hear the people in the smoking section screaming, Wu, Wu." Me, i was being cool. Fuck all that yelling, I'm about to be backstage. I think.
So finally, the Wu start to come out the bus. First was Masta Killa. Okay. Cool. Then out comes Method Man. Cool. Finally, my dude, Inspektah Deck comes out the bus.
"Deck, Deck." I holler.
He comes over and gives me pound. I introduce him to my boys. One of my boys was acting cool while the other was in groupie mode. Deck tells the security to let me and my boys come through the gates. But what was funny was a few of the people on the side of me saying, "Come on, man. Say that you know me."
"Beat it, kid. I'm VIP, bitches" is what I wanted to say, but all I said was, "Man, get the fuck out here."
So we are now in the theater and all the Wu is walking right past us. I'm geeking. So I see them all walking up these steps with their entourage and other people who were outside with me. I'm wondering, damn, can I go up these steps. I did get invited back here by one of the rappers. So nervously, I began to creep with my boys right behind me. And as I get towards the back, I see some of the Clan in front of me. And guess what? I didn't act nervous. Nigga, I'm Mike mutha fuck'n Turner. What I look like getting nervous? So I walk though the crowd of wall huggers and dap up Ghostface. I'm like this, if I know one, I know all you niggas. So the one goofy nigga with me starts acting real dumb, real groupie like, asking if anybody had any weed. Since in my mind, homeboy was cut off, he could do what he wanted. I was hoping one of these niggas whooped his ass. So since Ghost is the closest, I ask him if I could get a picture with him. All the years that I have seen these dudes, I have never been this close to them in person besides Deck and Meth, but the Meth thing is another story. Somehow the groupie got in the picture.

Then Meth came and, boom, another picture. No groupie this time. I look mad from all the weed smoke in the air.

What the hell. Why not double my luck.

So it's about to be show time. A couple goofy white bitches are in the back, smoking weed from out an apple. The groupie dude I am with decides to go smoke with these broads while me and my boy leave. So I am going down stairs to watch the Wu perform and it's on the stage. Talking about cissed. Now I wasn't seen by the crowd, but I was actually on the stage. They tore it up also. I heard them go through a lot of their classic as well as a few solo shots. Good times. And my oh my what women will do to have sex with a rapper. I seen a couple of the weed carriers taking a few of the groupies back up the stairs, bang the chicks back out and come back down stairs like nothing happen. So after the show is over, the Clan goes back up stairs. So it's time to go back up stairs. Well that's what I thought. The security dude wasn't trying to let me back up the stairs. But someone saw the friction I had gotten into. Method Man saw the dude fucking with me and said,
"Yo, that's VIP, let him up."
Oh shit. This nigga remembered me. I'm the man.
Now I'm upstairs again, the groupie dude is the last thing on my mind. Me and my boy already X'ed homeboy out. I run across Deck and for some reason, I never go a pic with homeboy. He asked me why I didn't get a picture at Thanksgiving and I was like, that's different. I don't look at you like a rapper. But since the Clan is around, click.

Damn, that's little ass Raekwon? Deck, two for one.

I told Deck thanks for letting me come to the show and he said no prob. Dapped him up, told him I'll see him again since he is cool with my family and seeing him is nothing new. So let me try to link up with the rest of the Clan. Now mind you that all the Clan was there besides RZA. Yeah, U-God and Cappadonna was there also, but for real, I needed pictures with the main ones. Sorry. And it looked like Masta Killa's woman was with him and his kids. She must have been like, "Ain't none of these white groupie bitches fucking my man."
So everyone knows my favorite emcee is the GZA. And I had daped him up, told him peace and everything, but for some reason, this nigga made me nervous. But as the Clan was about to leave and I wasn't about to do the "Male Groupie" thing like ol' boy wanted to, it was time to end this shit right now and get my picture with GZA. So it's do or time. I notice GZA was scooping this chick who was obviously willing to give homeboy some pussy.
"Yo GZA, can I get a pic?

Night complete.

Just Can't Stay Away

The words you are about to read are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. If you don't like it, there's a big ass X on the top right of your screen or on the left if you are using a Mac.

Lil' Wayne just got out of jail, T.I. just went back to jail (Dumb ass) and Gucci Maine, depending where you are reading is either in jail or out of jail. Now let's state the obvious, I have been said that rappers, not emcees, but rappers are the dumbest people in the world besides black football and basketball athletes.

Can I state this: Why do people act like rappers are political figures? I was reading a report on how people were lined outside, sleeping for hours, waiting for Lil' Wayne to get out of jail. Hello, this goulish looking nigga committed a crime. Why are people, fans, who this dude does not know personally, give a shit about this dude like this. When your family members are getting out of jail, where you camping out, waiting for them to get out? If you are, then this isn't for you. But if not, you should be a shame. Because my family, all the way to second cousin, will come first before any famous people.

Now let's talk about the shenanigans of Lil' Wayne. People are acting like this dude is the next second coming. If you look at it, you may have never realized dude even went to jail with all the videos and music he was putting out while he was gone. Didn't he just drop a new CD a few weeks ago. Now don't get it twisted, I will never and have never ever been a fan of this lil' boy, (And I say boy because men don't do half the shit these dumb ass niggas do) but in all honestly, I'm sick of people acting like this dude can rap. Hello. This dude wouldn't stand a chance against any of my ideals. (G. Rap, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, GZA, Redman, etc.) But since we are in a different time, I'm considered a hater. To any of my critics, fuck you. And I read all the tweets of rappers saying, "Congratulations Wayne on being home." First of all, I hate reading these tweets. I hate tweeting period unless its the R&B singer. I'll get to tweeting another day, but you had people getting fired from their job in the jail, acting like damn fans instead of acting like they were suppose to. Not trying to be funny, I ain't getting fired from my job for nobody not even Halle Berry. (I don't think I would for her.)

Let's talk about T.I. Didn't this 100 pound tough talk killer just get out of jail a few months ago? wasn't the name of his upcoming CD called "King Uncaged?" I wonder what it's called now. First of all, you should have been committed for marrying Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. My fault, Tiny from Xscape. Every time I look at her, I just want a piece of bacon or think of some chitlins. But lets get back to the topic on hand. T.I or Tip or dumb ass as I would call you, you are an idiot. Not for marrying your wife without a ton of liquor in you or being legally considered blind, you are an idiot. You just got out of jail, have a record of being in and out of jail, and you still continue to do dumb stuff that the average person would be looked up for years. Clifford, do you like your asshole fooled with? You must. Because I'm not going to continue and continue and continue to do stupid shit that will cause me to be away from my kids and my woman. Now I understand being away from your wife, but with her being as ugly as she is, I would be around her than a bunch of strong face looking niggas. I'm sorry.

Now lets talk about Gucchi Man for a hot second. And I mean a hot second since I have never followed this man's career, never heard a full song from him, and thinks he is in the top 10 if not 5 worst rappers ever. (Sorry Dame) Now from what I read, either this dude is in jail or not. Now I know I heard that he just got released from jail a few month or maybe a few weeks. From what I'm hearing, homeboy is a junkie. Can somebody get this man some help? Who the hell is his manager? Where the fuck is his friends and family?

I'm not famous (Yet) in no way right now, but as long as I have family, friends (Real friends and not a bunch of niggas who come around when I get big) and common sense, I'm not going to continue to be a repeat offender. You stupid ass dudes and it's not just you three, are some idiots. And the people who make y'all seem like you are some world figures are some fools, too. These dudes aren't Malcolm X or Martin Luther King. These dudes aren't even Jesse Jackson. Stop acting like these dumb ass rappers are important people. They are rappers. Hear Me. RAPPERS. Not even good ones. Like Larry Fishbourne said in "School Dayz, " WAKE UP! And stop acting like the typical dumb ass celebrity. But then again, you might not want to listen to Larry. Look at the good job he did.

And This Is What You Want? (For the Women. I Think.)

Pictures tell a lot. And I mean a lot. For some reason, women are in love with men who like to walk around, dressing like women. Some of these men are rocking blouses, walk around with pocketbooks, rocking scarves in the summer. WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Is this is what is going on? How can I, a straight dressing man, make it into the Hollywood scene without be seen strange? Because apparently, if I dress how I dress, I'mma be considered an outkast. Now let me break down each one of these picture and you tell me if I am wrong for thinking "Normal." Because if this is normal, I'm damn near slow.


Chris Brown: Is it summer or winter? Are you hot or cold. And then this nigga has his pants rolled up in a fucking cuff. What straight man walks around dressed like this? I understand fashion, but if this is the case, I will never in my damn life need a fashion coordinator. Never!



Usher: This mutha fucka looks like Janet Jackson from her "Rhythm Nation" days. Is that a silk blouse this nigga has on? Not only that, this bitch is rocking glasses only a woman should wear. I'm sorry, but men are not suppose to wear big ass glasses.


Ne-Yo: There were plenty of pictures floating around on this fruit cake, but this one right here says enough in itself. The way the nigga is structuring his mouth alone is enough to check his manhood.


Puff Daddy: A kilt? Really. A kilt? Back in 97, Wendy Williams and a lot of people were questioning this dude's sexuality, but shit like this confirms it. And the nigga has bitch boots on.


Drake: A damn denim jacket? They have plenty of other pictures going around with this dudes lips perched for a kiss, but if I can, I will post a video of his infatuation with Lil' Wayne where he damn near bust a nut and rubs his nipples.


Kanye West: This nigga right here has had TOO many moments where he was acting like a bitch, doing woman shit. The picture alone damn near confirms it. Shit, do I have to say look at the dudes in his entourage? Do I have to say look at the man bags, the hot ass red coat, the tight pants? C'mon now. Did you believe him going with that bald headed white girl was for real? And then get this. Out of all the women who could have put a front on for, he gets a chick with no hair. NONE!

VH'1's coons: These fruit cakes don't need no explanation. The picture tell enough.

Okay. I'm done judging dudes and the shit they wear. But like I have said, on here and on the Durty Truth, some shit has to change. Too much bull shit is going on and straight men ain't getting enough credit because they dress like men. Now I am sorry if I am not into fashion. But if this is fashion, call me straight. What woman wants to be with a man that they have to worry about this dude wearing her clothes. I'm sorry. But you will not catch me in nothing I wouldn't wear when I didn't have money. Even though we are in a different generation, this shit above me has to stop. Too much fruity shit going on that people call fashion. So am I wrong for wearing clothes my size?

What More Can I Say?

Been trying to tell y'all this bird can't sing.

Waiting For February 23rd!

I got some great news yesterday. My homeboy, T.Fox's album, The Great Junction, will be coming out February 23. You hear me. FEBRUARY 23RD!. Be there or be a square, square!


T. Fox & Mike Turner.

Real (Real)ity

Reality television is a trip. Especially when it comes to famous people. Now a days, famous people are allowing the cameras to “quote, quote” come into their house and film their life. Is it me or does all the shit seemed scripted? I can only go on with what I see because I don’t watch the bull shit such as Ray-J or duck sounding Fantasia. I couldn’t watch the crack head couple of the decade, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown and I was never a fan of Run D.M.C. Salt ‘N’ Pepa been past their prime, but Flavor Flav? Well I guess that was my guilty pleasure right there. But for the other shows, I have never seen a full episode of any of them but I have skimmed through some of them.
Let me start with the obvious, these shows are not real. Let’s take Flavor Flav and Ray-J for instance. These niggas are rich. Why must they go on tv and make a complete ass out of themselves? I’ll take Flavor Flav for a minute. Even as black and ugly and crackish as he looks, even this clown doesn’t have to go on tv to get a woman. C’mon now. 20 bitches fighting for a piece of shit that puts clothes on? Flavor Flav, not Chuck D. And as much as I sat back and laughed my ass off at this fool, I know it couldn’t be real. Half these birds didn’t even know who the hell he was. And what the fuck is up with all these reality dating shows making these dumb ass girls doing events and shit just to win a date? How fucking dumb is this? Now let’s move to Ray-J for one quick moment. One quick one because this dude is corny as fuck. Him and all his cronies sound and look like a bunch of faggots. “She smashed the homies.” Who the fuck says that! Really? Who says that shit? That’s it on him.
So you’re trying to tell me you need a second and third season to find love?
I was skipping through the channels today and saw that now, Fantasia has a show on VH-1. (Warning: VH-1 is where you go when your career is over and you want to get exploited as some NIGGAS!) So I’m looking at this shit and I see that Fantasia has damn near her entire family living with her and her (TROUBLED) brother lives in the outhouse or some shit. Big auntie goes to speak to him about him shaping up and as the camera rolls, he show how much of an ignorant nigga he is on tv.
Why God, why? Why do you subject black people to make a fool out of themselves on tv? You had Whitney walking around doped up (I did watch a few episodes of this), you got Michael’s brothers making money off of his death. Because honestly, who gave a fuck about the other four brothers? You got Run and Snoop trying to act like the Cosby show. Now how come they never showed Snoop rolling a joint and getting high? If you want a real reality show, hide the camera’s and don’t tell the people your filming them. That’s when you’re going to see real life.
Keyshia Cole’s reality show is real. Her mom is the only thing I have to say. But since they act too much like fools, I couldn’t even watch that show.
Monica’s career is over, Pepa’s career is over. Who else has a show coming out? I guarantee that Chris Brown will have a show soon. But these two clowns right here is the reason why I say these shows are scripted.

If these faggots can make you believe that they can get women, I guess anybody can get a show.

I'm on my Facebook Shit!

I’m like all the others, Facebook is becoming addicting to me. No, I don’t have hundreds of friends and no, I’m not on there trying to get some pussy. It’s just cool to see what people I haven’t heard from or seen in years are up to. It’s also funny seeing how some people are just as damn corny as they were years ago.
Now I then done a major change since high school and middle school. I then gained weight like a mutha fucka and I gained confident. Cause see, back then, I was bony and didn’t have the confidence and as cocky as I am now. Cause nigga, I am the shit and any bitch that says I ain’t might be a dike! Come fuck with me. But you know what’s funny? Some of the dudes and girls that thought they were the shit actually look like shit. Got damn! Funny how time flies. Some of the same girls I wanted to slide meat up in then ate a bunch of meat, with potatoes, corn, bread, all that shit. And the dudes? I don’t judge no men or no shit like that, but I guess I got the last laugh for all the niggas who use to fuck with me. Because some of you niggas look through. A few fat fucks, a few dope feens here and there.
I notice how some people who are on Facebook have thousands of friends. Now I understand if you’re famous and you have fans, but just because I say hi to you doesn’t mean we cool. Just because your boy friend or girl friend is cool with me does not mean we have to be cool. I had a chick who wanted me to add her just because we had two mutual friends, one being her man. Get the hell out of here! If I don’t really know you and you’re not cool with any of my family members, I’m not going to add you just so you can get your number count up. Get the hell out of here. Everybody on my page is people I know personally. People I then either hung around, talked to, family member, tapped, etc. You get the point?
I sometimes laugh at the shit I see on Facebook. I’m a fan of this and I’m a fan that. If you want to become a fan, BECOME OF FAN OF THE DURTY TRUTH! And don’t just be a fan, listen to the damn show. I wish I would be a fan of something that I really don’t support. I’m a fan of Crabs, Hip Hop, my fam, and that’s it. I support my boy, T. Fox. I support this girl group out of Cali called Double Up. I support people I know!
To you cornballs who post all that dumb, gay shit, cut it out. For you people who aren’t funny in person, but try to be funny over the computer, quit. To all you people who make yourself out to be something you’re not, people know the truth. I’m Turner, have been Turner since my birth. Be yourself. Don’t let this Facebook shit fool you. Shout outs to my Durty Truth Family, Mr. Lex, Tiff, Most Wanted, Mo, and Pezzy. Support the show every Wednesday at 10 P.M.

These Are My Heroes

First of all, a big fat fuck you to MTV. This morning, I learned that another one of my musical icons had passed away, Teddy Pendergrass. It was all over the internet and news and I think he got the press he deserved. But I noticed MTV hasn't said shit about his death. So fuck MTV. That station isn't really for black people anyways.
It seems like every year, the people who I listened to coming up as a child, the same people my parents was probably fucking to, has passed away. Cause see, I was a Teddy Pendergrass and so many other of these legends when I was younger. Now I know the music I listened to was from the past, but that was classic music. I was a Teddy fan, plus a Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes fan. A lot of people need to know their history on the men and women.
Barry White, Isaac Hayes, Luther Vandross, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Rick, James, Michael Jackson Ray Charles, etc. I'm a big fan of the 60's and 70's. I think music may run in my blood. And it really does bother me that certain artist don't get the shine that other artist get. Now I understand why Michael Jackson got the praise that he got. Regardless if you like him or not, there will never be another artist like him. But got damn it, if Prince don't get close to the same appreciation, something ain't right. He probably won't though since he was considered nasty. But him and the others I mentioned above made classic love music. I'd rather listen to these artist, plus the likes of the Isley Brothers, Minnie Ripperton, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, L.T.D, etc. then the bullshit they have out now. (Trey Songs, Rhianna, Ciara, Pretty fucking Ricky) Soul music is slowly disappearing. Not too many artist have soul anymore. Anytime I hear about a legend dying, more soul leaves with their soul. Rest in peace, Teddy P. Your legacy will live on, regardless if MTV gives you your dues.

March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010

40 Million and You Don't Want to Fight?

I'm pissed. PISSED! I'm a big boxing fan. Real big. But not as big as this one dude I know who all he talks about is boxing. But I'm a big boxing fan. And as a fan, I was waiting for March 13th, 2010 for a fight that everybody has been wanting to see: Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao. Boy, niggas was pressed to watch this shit. I know I was. Two of the biggest stars right now were about to get it on in the ring. And then, shit falls apart. Ain't that a bitch! All because one, Mayweather for some reason wants Pacquiao to take certain test and two, Pac doesn't want to take the test. Now I'm going to look at it at both man's point of view. Did I mention that theses men will make up to 20 million dollars guaranteed money? So with that being said, man, fuck their sides. Because honestly, for that amount of money, there shouldn't be any bitching or complaining about anything. For 20 million dollars, you can put a swab up my ass to see if I'm taken anything abnormal. Shit, when you go get a check up pass the age of thirty, you're going to get that treatment for less than one hundred dollars. Why not be filthy rich for a treatment most men are going to get anyways. Pacquiao, needles? Needles? Are you kidding me. All them damn tattoos and you want to complain about needles? Mayweather, 40-0 and you never asked for this kind of test for any other man, but now you want to? Now in some weighs, I agree with Mayweather because the heavier you get, you're not going to be the same fighter you were when you fought at a smaller weight class. For the people who aren't familiar with Manny, homeboy started out fighting at 108 and is now fighting and beating the shit out of 140 pound fighters. But for 20 million, I'll take my chances and fight. If he gets caught cheating, it will come out eventually. Look at Mark McGuire. He didn't even get caught, but told on himself like this was the Cosby Show. So now that the fight is called off, Manny will be fighting Joshua Clottey. And you know how much Clottey is making? Probably 2 million dollars. and do you think he's complaining or wanting homeboy to take test? Fuck no. He just wants that money to fight up to 36 minutes or less. I can lost for 20 million. I understand nobody wants to lose, but for 20 mil, I don't think my pride will be that bad, especially if I think I can win. So to Mayweather and Pacquiao, fuck the two of you for messing this fight up. Pac, I hope and got money on Clottey to beat your ass. I would definitely be more scared than a big foreheaded African than some damn needles.(But I'm a Clottey fan, so kill that raciest shit.)

Don't Believe the Hype '09

2009 is almost over and damn, the music has been horrible. Before the end of the year, I will give out my top ten hip hop and R&B albums of the year. But for now, I am so sick of the new and upping comers. Now people will call me a “Hater” (Still hate that term), but it’s like I can’t even give an opinion without people saying I hate on everything. Like I’ve said before, I don’t jock what’s in right now unless it really is good. But here is my top 10 list of “Don’t Believe the Hype ‘09 in no particular order. Now some will say I’m hating, I say I’m just don’ like they shit and don’t see the big deal. So here you go. And hate, hate, hate. I love it.

10: Drake
Now I don't see the hype ab out home boy at all. I have never heard a full song from him, but from the verses I have heard, am I suppose to be impressed? Dude sounds like a light skin Lil' Wayne and I'm sure you know how I feel about him.

9: Lil' Bow Wow

Wack, has always been wack, and signing with Cash Money will mean you will continue to be wack. Tattoos and cussing don't make you tough.

8: Gucci Mane

If I ranked them, this dude would probably be number one. Do I really have to say anything?

7.: Jim Jones

Sucks just as bad as his ad libs. And his jeans are tight. Talking about Kanye's pants are tight. Negro please. You better check ya'self.

6: Joe Buddens

Hip Hops 2009's version on Yung Bird. A C+ rapper known for starting shit, then taking it back. Might be a light skin thing.

5: Nicki Manij

Is this wack broad serious? Her flow sucks, her image sucks, and she's going to have to suck to make it. What happen to real female emcees?

4: Brandy's Little Brother

Whatever this cornball does in life, he's always going to be known for the title I gave him. Regardless of the collabs you do with emcees, you suck.

3: Rihanna and The Dream


One question, can these two even really sing?

2: Rick Ross

He's ignored all the taunts. Maybe because people who listen to real music have ignored his fat ass.

1: Wale

First time I saw dude, I said, typical, get with the in chick of the moment. (Lady Gaga) Bad thing was, the song was horrible and everything I heard after was bad. Have you heard "Press Your Weave" yet? Need I say more?

So there you go. My top 10 or 11 list of, "Get the hell out of here with that bull shit." Did I miss anybody?

T. Fox is Coming...

My man, T. Fox is dropping his new album, "The Great Junction" sometime in 2010, dropping on Tasteful Licks Records.

I have had the privileged of knowing this man for over 20 years and knows this man has the skills to make it in the music business. You know if I cosign something, it really has to be a big deal. So when it drops, I need y'all to support this joint. Hey, and I made the cover! (Top right hand corner) So go show some love! Peace.
