Somebody call W.C.! Serena is getting it IN on that C-Walk. So, what do you think? Serena Williams wins gold and breaks out C-Walking… Ratchet or no? What was that…? IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! (Shout out to The Rock hahaaa.) See, Serena is a tennis champion AND gold medalist. She can take a few seconds to dance a jig if she wants. The rest of the world WILL get over it. Besides…she has a budding rap career to consider (check her rap out here). Dancing is part of the package.

So by now you are thinking, @ojones1, what’s ‘NSFW’ about this pic? It’s just… like… a still shot.” C’mon now. You KNOW that I look out for you.

So, as the NSFW stamp indicates, this should not be viewed at work (at least not in front of someone who can fire you… or around someone who can/will SNITCH on you to someone who can fire you)! So, take a break. Go somewhere “safe.” Then click the “Read the rest…” link and watch “Curves at the Palace”… featuring the THICKNESS!

Havoc – “Separated” (Real From The Fake)”

“Separated (Real From The Fake)” is the latest joint from Havoc off “13.” If you have followed the posts here regarding Havoc’s singles off his EP “13,” the semi-veiled references to the “fake one” in this cut will not shock you. Also, if you have been following (or are just now catching up), you know we are not fueling any fire about a Mobb Deep beef. Listen and draw your own conclusions. Whatever it is, beef between family should be cooked by them. We just nod to the good music. That said. Get stuck on the realness. Click, play, and start your Monday.

Pusha T – “Pies” (Prod. Fly Union)

When I heard this song circulating the internet from Pusha T my immediate reaction was it sounded pretty dope.  No pun intended considering the V.A. native’s not so subtle contraband references. Apparently the song appears on the ‘Champions’ mixtape put together by the Cleveland based brotha Meel Tha DJ for LebronJames.com featuring all original music. The Fly Union produced song appears as the second track on the mixtape, but it is definitely a standout in my opinion. The artwork is pretty fly too. You can listen or download the entire mixtape below….
