Crack Cocaine

I don't usually post full lyrics to songs on my blog because it is copyright infringement but this time, I'd like to provoke the creator.  There's this song and the creator seems to be keeping his identity secret.  I think the P2P network I originally downloaded it from claimed that it was by Necro.  But Necro's discography on his website doesn't list it and it doesn't really sound like him.  Others claim that it is an unreleased track from Eminem, of all people, but it doesn't sound like Eminem.  Anyway, if the creator tries to sue me, I will at least be able to find out his identity.  If not, well at least y'all can check out this song.  I can e-mail it to y'all if y'all wish.  Drop me a line!  Note: I do not consume Crack Cocaine myself nor do I condone the use of this drug. 

So what the fuck you trying to pull, pigs?
Cause my shit right here is clean!  Dig?
At least I'm selling to the felons who don't know no better!
Beat me down, pull me over when I'm driving...
I'm just a regular guy with a business that's thriving!
Cause it's hard to make it in this life,
it's a world of heartache and pain!
That's why I'm selling "Crystal Love" to the people,
That's why I'm selling them Crack Cocaine!

Crack Cocaine, Crack Cocaine...
Crack Cocaine, Crack Cocaine...

Got my gat, got my bitch, got my shit on...
Fuck the policeman: they always get my gig wrong!
I ain't no criminal, no thief and no liar.
There's a market, man: I'm just a supplier!
I don't give a fuck how you get the cash to buy it!
And if it's your first time, it's free just to...  try it.
Cause this here sugar is much sweeter than Mary Jane...
This here, bitch, is the motherfucking Crack Cocaine!

I want that...  Crack Cocaine...
 
I want that...  Crack Cocaine...
...

Give me some, Give me some Crack Cocaine...  yea...

A Wii problem

The Nintendo Wii gets released later today.  It seems like quite the formidable console.  The freestyle controller that responds to how and where you move it, not just the buttons you press, seems like a brilliant idea with a myriad potential uses.  It will also be much cheaper than either the PS3 or the XBox 360.  However, it, apparently, will not come with the ability to play DVD movies, which is a real shame, since this might have sold me on it...  Anyway, here is what I had to say on a forum on the subject:

I agree with Banjo, HD-DVD and Blue-Ray just seem to be a waste. Seriously, who has an HDTV anyway? I don't think people care all that much about the "higher definition". Case in point: we've had IMAX for years and yet, it's usually used only for nerdy documentaries and stuff.

Plus, despite what Turdmoe says, I don't think regular DVD will be out-dated for a loooooooong time on the account of they can't agree on a standard! (But I would put my money on HD-DVD since I think people would be wary of trusting Sony after having learned their lesson from Betamax.)

In any case, I don't see why Nintendo would not include DVD support with the Wii. It's not that much more expensive. I live in Soviet Canuckistan where we can get a stand-alone DVD player for under C$30. This includes all the components necessary to connect it to your TV, the physical drive with the lasers and everything (probably the most expensive part) and shipping to the stores. All these things are already included with the Wii, so I wouldn't imagine it would cost more than US$7 to add this functionality to the Wii.

Since the proposed upgrade supposedly consists of a "dongle" and you don't need to replace the drive, this seems to suggest that the drive is physically capable of handling DVDs. I don't see what more hardware you would need. But, like I said, I don't imagine it would cost more than US$7 more to add it.

As for the software, being simple enough, it could probably be developped for under US$1M. Since Nintendo will probably sell at least 5M consoles, this comes out to less than 20 cents each. I think Nintendo can afford to bite the loss and give the software away for free! If it's just additional software needed, I don't see why Nintendo can't just give it away for free. It just seems awfully cheap on their part. I can understand if they didn't want to release the Wii with DVD software as it could slow down the release date but, at least, they could make it a free download in a couple of months.

If some extra hardware was necessary, would y'all really mind paying up to US$10 more for it? It's still cheaper than the XBox 360 or the PS3!

Now you might be wondering: if a stand-alone DVD player is so cheap, why don't you just go out and buy one and quit complaining? Simple: clutter! It just makes a lot more sense to have everything I do with my TV contained in as few boxes as possible. Sony had the right idea with the PS2. I use the DVD function all the time. I didn't even bother to buy a remote as I am content with using the controller. However, they had the wrong idea with the PS3. Why should I pay sooooo much more for Blue-ray - a technology that I will probably never use. But standard DVDs are a technology everyone uses so why can't they just make it built in.

Also, as I understand, the Wii will come with wi-fi but it will only be used to update the Wii, play games online and check news and weather. Why can't Wii go on websites? Again, this is simple case of adding cheap software (another 20 cents per unit, at most) yet they don't bother? I understand that if they do this, some people will expect them to include a keyboard so they can type in the URLs because using the arrow keys to hunt for the letters is annoying. But, whatever, you'd only need to do that once. Then, you can put your favourite URLs in your favourites.

I just don't get why Nintendo has to be so...  cheap.  Shucks!

Now, I do realize that the economics of the game console industry is quite complicated indeed.  For example, the OS and hardware is made by the same company and they actually turn a loss on the actual console but make their money on licensing fees for the games.  Game developpers need to pay the console makers in order to be allowed to create games for the console whereas someone does not have to pay Microsoft for the right to make a game for Windows. 

So, perhaps this "dongle" is just a ploy to get more money from gamers.  The Wii probably doesn't even need the "dongle" to play DVD movies but Nintendo will probably require it so that they can make more money by selling $5 pieces of wire for $20 each.  It's understandable that they want to make as much money as possible by selling add-ons for huge profits since they don't get any money from the actual console sales. 

But is this really the way to go?  A console is really just a computer designed to be used with your TV for entertainment purposes.  Why not just sell it like a computer.  How about they charge for the OS but don't charge licensing fees for games.  Everyone would probably flock to such a console because it has so many more games than everyone else even if they have to pay a little more up front...  Or something like that...

Yeah...

Shucks! I love this song. Kinda old school by now but I still love it. It's got just such an exciting beat and stuff. It's the type of song that I would want to snort a line to, if I did coke (which I don't).

"Next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming:

Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah
Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah"

"cause on a one-to-ten she's a certified twenty, and that just aint me. "
"if you hold the head steady I'm a milk the cow ... I won't stop till I get em in they birthday suits. So gimmie the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes.
... if they aint cutting then I put em on foot patrol ... we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed"

Fucking A!

Videos, yo!

Hey y'all!  I'm having a more difficult time than I thought in getting over Jeresa...  I was going to write a rant about how I was feeling and stuff, but I realized blogging about it, isn't going to help.  I'm going to go to confession and stuff and hopefully that will help.  Also, forgive me if I'm acting really strange these days...  This might take some time...  So, I'm trying to set my mind on other things...

So, I noticed I'm often talking about certain Interweb Videos.  So, I've decided to make a list of all the interweb videos that I find funny or cool for y'all to enjoy!  Look for it on the left-hand column.  It will take some time for me to list all of them, but I'll get started.  God bless, y'all!

French Republic: you're going DOWN!!!

I'm not that much of a "football" fan, but this time... it's personal! I hope those I-Ti's kick those frogs asses and have them chicken out just like they did for Italy's ally in WWII. Fucking French cowards! Die MOFACKOS!!! I would take the Italian Republic over the French one, anyday. Fucking 2 bottles of water and 4 80 tubes of Pringles. In Italy, you can get Gelato for the equivalent of a dollar (or so I heard). They're not greedy like those cowardly frogs. But why do I care so much? Because those frogs cost me 27 p. (Rubles)! You see, the Ruskie website that I buy my mp3s from had this promotion where when you add money to your account, if you could guess the final score of a game, you get a 50% bonus and if you guess at least the outcome, you get a 10% bonus. I had just added 270 p. to my account and I was pretty DARN confident in my guess that Brazil would at least WIN over the French Republic, but no... Fucking West-Africans playing for France (because the French are always too tired to do anything for themselves) somehow managed to win. They must have drugged the Brazilian national negroes or something. So... yea... DIE FRANCE, DIE!!!

VIVA ITALIA!!!

Update (it's 17:25 on Sunday, July 9th, 2006):

I have better taste than you!

I know its prolly not wise to argue bout taste, but, meh... I'm gonna do so anyway.

In this article I will be dealing with music in particular. I'll insult your bad taste in other things in future articles.

It seems to me one of the points of music is to convey emotions. If you're feeling sad or want to feel sad (but who WANTS to feel sad), you'll listen to sad music (i.e. the blues or something) because it connects with you. The same goes with other emotions like angst or happiness.

But doesn't everyone WANT to be happy??!! I'd think so. So why don't you listen to happy or majestic music like Aqua or Britney spears. Or Nickelback. Well, Nickelback's words are actually kinda sad but the music is happy despite being "mass-manufactured" and "commercial". How? Well, it's not too loud, it's melodious (that is the notes actually change a lot), it is crescendo-ish (the notes rise more than fall, its got a moderately fast pace and it uses modern instruments (not like the violon which has a beautiful yet boring sound). So, if your songs are de-crescendo-ish, monotonous and repetitive, violently loud and/or old-fashioned, it will not make you happy. And if you don't want to be happy, whats a matta wit' you?

Now I know a lot of y'all listen to hardcorescremogrindcoreapplecore... Whatever! But there are some things you should know about that:

  1. First of all, thats a sin!
  2. Secondly, if you are entertained by someone gnarling away their vocal chords, (and you may try to make it sound cool by saying that they're screaming, but they're not. They're gnarling.), you are a bad person!

God willing, you've read this and thought "Shucks! Jonas is so right! I'm sorry for not having as good taste as you, Jonas!" Well, I'll forgive you this time but your music library is prolly full of your bad taste instead of my good taste, so where to start? Take the most glaring example of happy music: the theme song to "Alvin and the Chipmunks" , get inspired by it and go from there! Happy listening!
