So..what's NXT?! (See what I did there?)

If you will, allow me to step outside my music 'ish for a second and switch topics to that of another love of mine; sports entertainment. Yes, the boy Koffee Blakk is a wrestling fan.

 

Wait for it...

 

"But KB! Wrestling's fake!"

 

Um..no...really? So is 95% of the rap game that you love so much. So is 95% of the so-called "reality television" that you all clamor in front of your cheap TVs for. Get off mah' jock!

 

Seriously though, I've been watching the then-World Wrestling Federation, now-World Wrestling Entertainment since I was a young'n. You can even throw in more than few WcW shows as well, especially since I favored it over WWF at the time. Shoot, back when my Grandfather still had both legs, and would stand in front the only TV that was in the house at the time in his white flannel and boxers. His time was spent hogging the TV and shadow boxing with Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan.

 

Different times eh?

 

Anyway, fast forward to today and I've seen my fair share of live shows for both WWE and TNA, mostly the latter with the mrs, and of course, I've also managed to discover(through the wonderful world of the internet) the world outside of WWF/E. From that point on, I was always interested in upcoming stars to see who would be the first to change the dynamic of the main US promotions that I had access to on my television.

 

Now WWE is giving their "Universe" just that. An oppurtunity to see the latest batch of potential "WWE" stars with their new show "NXT". 

 

The show features of all people PUNK of I Love New York fame, aka David Otunga aka Jennifer Hudson's Baby Daddy, amongst other "Rookies" as they're called. One of which is actually a pretty well known and probably knowelagble of the group, "Daniel Bryan" aka Brian Danielson (Google the guy, he's freakin' awesome even if he is sorta goofy lookin'.). The only other two that I'd say watch out for would be Justin Gabriel (PJ Black) and Heath Slater. They also showed an immense amt. of potential and I hope that when this "season" ends that those 4 at least find their places on the main roster.  I mean, I'd throw Michael Tarver in the mix but since the days of Ken Shamrock and Steve Blackman, WWE really hasn't had much need for the MMA-type even with the UFC yippin' @ their heels. Here's some examples; Sylvester Terkay? Vladimr Kozlov in his early beginnings? Heck, let's go with the misusage of Santino freakin' Marella -- you have Youtube, look it up!

 

Either way, I was impressed with the first episode of NXT enough to post up about it, and honestly, if you ain't doin' jack on Tuesday Nights, then yous hould check it out. I give it the Koffee Stamp of Approval.

 

1ne!

...fucky ass day..yes, I said fucky.

W...T...F!

Look, if I fuckin' wronged someone, something, or some Deity -- get off my jock, I'm sorry! Frickin' ey!

Tell me how in the fuckin' hell, that a week I had been looking forward to, due to a trip to the ATL for my baby's birthday, managed to turn it self into Barney fuckin' Rubble in the matter of two days?!

Think I'm over exaggerating? Watch me;

1. Get home yesterday and I find out my wife's car had been towed due fuckers thinking it was abandoned. Keep in mind the tag had only expired a month ago, and was literally getting taken care of TOMORROW. I personally blame it on her not washing it, but because she'll prolly read this shit later - I take that back,

To get my fuckin' whip back, a nigga had to drop $125.00 on the shit, which was money set aside to buy the Mrs. her birthday gift. WTF!

I brush that shit off my shoulders,  and say fuck it - I still got my trip to ATL and the titties @ Magic City were going to make me feel better.

Ha!

Incident #2 -- After getting my car out the impound, I drive the bitch home as the brakes fuckin' grinded on the way there. As I'm doing that, I call my wife who was behind me in the Passport to let her know that we were heading straight to the crib. At that point in time she tells me that she hears a clickin' noise in MY car. I'm like WTF!, what now?!  So I get both cars home, let the office know the fuckin' tag on the Galant would be fixed tomorrow while they let me know that I had dropped my WORK ID out there and would have to come back and get it.

I go back to my Passport, and took a look under the hood and what do I find? I find that that a tension belt I replaced all of WEEK AGO, had now started to strip and wrapped itself around my radiator fan! Say it with me now; WTF!

So I give my mechanic a shout and let em' know I gotta stop by and he tells me to do so around 5PM. 5PM rolls around and head out, decided to stop @ Amscot, cause I was expecting some Christmas money for the lil' one from her Grandfather. I get there, and I fuckin' find out that not only did I lose my work ID but my Drivers License had gotten left there too! 

That pretty much fuckin' guarantees that my Friday is going to be a busy one..but hey, Happy Birthday Baby!

And to quote my lovely wife, FTML, or For The MothaFuckin' Lose for you lames. 

KB Related: You're petty much guaranteed a new song out of this sh!t, VTZ where you at!?

Should, or Shouldn't I?

So, since I decided to stretch my "creative wings" so to speak, I've been contemplating possibly forming an actual group. No, not a boy-band. And no, not a man-band either. A musical collaboration between like-minded individuals who refused to be bogged down by one particular genre.

 

Look, It's no secret to those around me, or anyone that pays attention to anything I say; hip hop/rap is boring to me now. Not only that, but the game is just overcrowded and oversatured with every fool that can get a microphone and a Youtube/Myspace/Facebook/Twitter, etc. And if Plies, Soulja Boy, Gucci Man, Wacka Flocka (the same that admitted that he has no lyrical creativity whatsoever and is just doing this ish' for the money he makes on shows) had shown us anything, it's the fact that anyone can get a deal in hip-hop these days.

 

And frankly? They can have it.

 

I've always been a fan of music, and if you were to ask me what the last rap song I did was and completed, I'd tell you "By My Side" which is at this point, going on 2-3 months old from when I originally wrote and recorded it. Heck, look at "How You Do It (H3ll Yea!)" and this "The Rejuvenation" project I'm doing. This project won't have one rap verse on it from me. I refuse to. I love melody and I've finally found a way to project a singing-voice that works for me and "How You Do It (H3ll Yea!)" is really the tip of the iceberg of what I want to do. Same with "Can't Control It" and "Move (I Wanna)", those type of songs have become so exciting for me to record that I don't even care a 6'3" black guy from the Virgin Islands that looks like he should be screaming "I'mma head bussa!" instead of singing

"Why do you build me up, buttercup?"

 

Music was better back then anyway.

 

There are so little joys that you can get out of life while you're here, and if you're not having fun or enjoying them when you find them then what's the point?

 

Exactly.

 

"The Rejuvenation", coming soon.

 

Suckas.

"How Ya Do It KB?!"

I'm at the point where I don't even know where this shit comes from anymore. Rocz sent me the instrumental, and from that point it was a wrap. If you haven't done it yet, make sure you peep the first recorded track from "The Rejuvenation of Koffee Blakk", my all Rocz produced project!

Go on, hit the player.

First thing you'll notice is that its the furthest thing from rap that you may have heard from me, and to be honest, rap bores me now anyway. Me and Rocz decided that right now, we are going back to what made this shit fun; the music.

How ya liking it so far? Well, here's hoping you do because there's more to come!
