Mike Turner's Top 10 Hip-Hop Group's

Everybody who knows me knows I am a big hip-hop fan. Real big. Not just hip-hop, but music in general. But while I am preparing to try to get my hip-hop show popping, I'm going to get back to my hip-hop roots on here as well. So here is my top ten hip-hop groups of all time. You see that, MIKE TURNER'S TOP 10. Mines, all mines. I am sure people will be like, "Well what about this group and what about that group." Well let me first say this, some groups then fell the fuck off (Mobb Deep) and some didn't put out enough to even qualify for this (Artifacts). But this is my list. At first, I was only going to do duo's, but was like, forget it and let's just do groups as a whole. And it could only be 10  (Sorry Pete Rock & CL Smooth and BDP). And even though some groups didn't make my top 10, that doesn't take anything away from the groups (Shout out to the Artifacts, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy, etc). So here is my top 10, with favorite and least favorite by each group. For real, if you really know me, you already know who my number 1 is.

I Got So Much Shit On My Mind

It's been a minute. Damn near a year since I took time to contribute to this blog. My fault, but a man's been busy. Busy as hell. So what has happen from the last time I wrote? Shit, really nothing, I've just been lazy as hell. No motivation to do anything that has had to do with writing.



The motivation above, I'm always down for. But anyways, on some real shit, a brother has been busy. Me and my boy Lex still keep in touch and everybody's favorite show, "The Durty Truth" is coming back in a few weeks. Yep, we're back! Well not we're. Me and maybe a few old faces and a few new faces. And guess who's hosting that bitch? Yeah, yeah, I been promoted to full time host. A special wink to you bitches who thought you'd never hear from me again. I'm also in the process of trying to finally get my hip hop show off the ground and help Lex getting his sports show back off the ground. I got a few people who are interested in working with me and when I finally get some down time, it's on. So what put that pep back in in my step? Well, friends and just tired of sitting on something. I then had so many people in my life who then said I'm wasting my talent by not doing something with myself in this nature. Also, while hanging out with a few partners of mines a few weeks ago, this little youngster made me feel big headed. Said I had something called "swagger." I hate that term. So with a combination of that, shit on my mind and people to entertain, it's on a popping, son!

So the Durty Truth is back? Yep. After all the confusion with the last show, people would wonder why I would even be involved with it. One thing with me is I know how to let shit go. Plus, nobody besides Lex knew me personally. So that bull shit all them niggas said when I WASN"T ON THE SHOW don't mean a can of shit to me. When it comes to Lex, I'm loyal. And we see what happen when I wasn't on the show. And for the bitch who took my words out of context from something I wrote when I left about being better than some people, run tell that. Can you believe some of the people from the last show took an hour to talk about me? I got so much shit on my mind. But on the real, I got nothing but love for all of them, even the callers. (Sup Sassy, Midnight, and Bud) And I'm not going to lie, the new cast has some big boots to fill. But I got faith. The same faith Lex had when he put the first five strangers together. I'm not trying to rush this process and anybody who knows me will tell you that, yeah, I may come off fucked up sometimes, but when it comes to business that I am a part of, I'm all business. No ratchetness here. Lex then fucked up by putting me in control. Haha.

Now lets talk about my personal life for a minute. For those who don't know, I'm thirty three and am not the same guy I was say ten years ago. Back then, it was about three things that motivated me, money,  partying, and new pussy. My fault for being so vulgar, but hey, that's real talk. Me and my boy Derek was in D.C. so much, we should have got a place out there. But gas was cheap as hell and it wasn't a problem driving out there. Oh yeah, I recently got a Prius, so gas still ain't kicking my ass. That might be a hint to start partying all over again. After my dad died and I had kids, I slowed down a lot. But recently, I been getting back out there and meeting new people as well as run into a couple of old faces. Been hitting the clubs lately and like I said up above, this little twenty-one year old gased my head. Nothing sexual because I wasn't looking for nothing like that, but to know that I still got some pep in my step was enough to let me know that I need to stop with that "I'm old" shit. Now I will say those nights of clubbing hard did weigh on my legs. When I was 23, I was skinny as hell and had to weigh about 165 if that. Now that I'm 225, my legs ain't in the same condition. Basically, that's telling me to get my out of shape ass fit. And once I do? Oh boy, trouble. And trouble is coming back to the radio in two weeks. Be sure to check us out, show support to me and the entire show. Because I really ain't going nowhere. I really feel like I'm just getting started. It's just a reboot. Jump on now and not later because everybody knows I hate a dick rider unless you're a female. Shout out to T. Fox, Lex Luther,  WH Prose, S. McDowell, them Clubbs Brothers and anybody who has been down with me for the past 15+ years. Let's get money.

Anybody interested in the hip hop show or Sports radio show, get at me through Facebook or however possible. Peace.

PS: Happy mother's day, ladies.

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!
