i peep’d this over at one of my morning coffee stops, hypebeast, and was (slightly) disgusted to see they sent props over there to jay-z. sure, the jiggaman may have brought the slang back for a new generation, but i find it hard to believe that san fran’s upper playgound thinks of beyonce’s boyfriend when 99 problems comes to mind.
i am an avid fan of the squared circle. i use phrases like, “tap out,” “turn heel” and “no sell” in everyday conversation. over the course of my lifetime, i have attempted to slap several individuals in the texas cloverleaf and have snuck up on a few of them to lock them in the powerful grasp of my full nelson, affectionately know as “the clutch clutch.” in junior high, the hood classic “open neck, no respect” morphed into “the russian sickle” and i was one of many to tag team like ivan & nikita koloff.
hopefully, that establishes my ethos (with a lil’ bit of pathos), now, on to the list (w/a side of logos)…
honorable mention (team) – midnight express.
the midnight express was just like the rock ‘n’ roll express, except, of course, better. from the veg-o-matic to the rocket launcher, the midnight express had a vast array of tag team maneuvers with great names. also, because of their sexy man-candy gimmicks, you can bet they got the bestest of older worn-out-my-favorite-band-is-touring-on-the-other-side-of-the-country trim when out on the road.
listen to KRS ((if KRS was a rapper, his finishing move would be called, “the blastmaster.”)) rock over their classic theme music.

honorable mention (move) – double stomp/cop killa.
low ki (loki, get it?) decided to change his ringname to senshi. that’s stupid. homicide, on the other hand, has been able to keep his ringname although he was forced to rename his version of the kudo driver to “the gringo killer.” although this move is spectacular (yes!) these two are no longer a team and i’ve never seen them in a match, so, since it’s my list, it doesn’t crack the top five.
in the above track, youthful droseph provides a fantastic example of free association. best thang smokin’ also has some of the most delectable & colorful (pun intended) uses of language in recent memory.
car flop purple when the sun come, when it get dark, man that thing be lookin’ drum plum
seriously, me and dro could do this for days. it’s quite obvious that dro is a lover of Colour. i wonder if he has a username over there. i’d love to check the names on a few of his palletes. like, what’s the hex code for a tokyo diamond?
another reason to support barely aged hydroponic is because he makes mutliple mentions to talapia. ever the trend setter, slightly younger than you might think prolly does this because he enjoys the flavor, not because it’s cool to rhyme about plates of fish, irregardless of it’s an emcee’s favorite dish.

So, i stumbled upon the cleavage blog during my constant pursuit of fantastical funbags. Recently, the cleavage blog guy updated w/links toafewothersites that specialize in providing very specific content. It’s kinda like a new millenium Fat Chicks in Party Hats, but, obviously way easier on the eyes.
we’ve all seen the photos in our various men’s magazines… a woman goes sans top but uses some sort of prop ((this photo is from the “Shooting Tabatha” website, one of the best sites i came across years ago.)) to hide her nipples/areola so that the mag can still sit on the shelves at your local Barns & Noble w/out the shame of a polybag. it’s a fantastic technique that gives you more boob for your buck and makes the photographer seem creative even if that creativity is only being used as an excuse to get some air on those puppies.
Honorable Mention: the surface-bra.
whether up against a wall, mirror ((it should go without saying, but, when you see that red line and the “NSFW” image, that means that if you are currently at work, you might not want to click the link.)) or the convenient edge of a well cropped photo, the use of an obstructing surface is quite possibly the “classiest” way to take the topless pic. it’s a tasteful way to leave a lil’ to the imagination, unless, of course, we’re talking about our girl Coco .
5. the belt-bra.
the first cover ((remember splash pages? of course you do. some of you still rock them. i loved splashed pages. i’ve got all of mine saved on my backup site.)) of my first dotcom was to feature this fantastic belt bra picture of Hollywood of G.L.O.W. fame. instead, i decided to mimic the chromium covers of my comic book collecting days. i learned a fantastic lesson — belt-bras are a fantastic idea but are difficult to execute correctly in real life w/out looking like a complete idiot. not only is it something that looks better in anime/hentai settings but also on women w/substantially less boobage than i prefer.
