What’s up peeps and what is good in your Hood?!? My hood IZ is hype because it is gambling season and I’m hunting for the easy PREY! Last year I hit over 80% of my college games and that is a FACT. If you don’t believe that just look in the archives. I plan on starting this year off with a BANG the same way I ended last year’s football season. There are plenty of games to choose from this weekend with the holiday weekend upon us. However, we will get it cracking with the Saturday games because I want you guys to have plenty of time to get your bets in. YOU DIG?! Ok folks let’s get to the good STUFF!

Donell Jones, The original Chi-town crooner is back with his new E1 release and title track, “Love Like This”. Now we now he had heat in the past with “U Know What Up”, “Where I Wanna Be” and the Stevie Wonder remake “Knocks Me Off My Feet”, but has his moment passed? Will this generation connect to his style of music? I don’ think so. At best I hope that the people who are a bit older remember him, support and buy the real R&B he is trying to make.
As the month changes to September so do Da Album charts. The biggest surprise of the week is that Usher didn’t chart higher than 4th. I expected WAY more than only 45K for this EP. 2 reasons: 1) His single with Pitbull is a 2010 pop formula smash around the country (hell if Jason DeRulo, Jay Sean, Taio Cruz etc. can do it why not Mr. Raymond). 2) Hot Tottie with Jay Z is an urban club/mixtape smash that you can’t escape (How many times have you heard “Call Me King Hov Copy” in the last month?). But I did some research and found out why. Sony/Jive (and their greedy asses) put out a deluxe version of Raymond v Raymond where there a bonus disk which is the Versus EP. So as his label is looking to capitalize on 2 albums, they basically split the consumer base and in turn they confused them as to which album is the focus. (F@*king labels and their B.S.) I really wanted a bigger # from Mr. Raymond.

What up GoJu Nation?! So, the WWE held one of their biggest PPV events a couple of weeks ago…SummerSlam! For a few weeks the WWE had been promoting a seven-on-seven tag team match featuring guys from RAW vs. The Nexus (Season One NXT Rookies). For the final couple of weeks, there were six RAW stars named, with the seventh being a mystery partner. Well by the time we got to the main event, the mystery was over as Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) made his way down the ramp and back into the welcoming arms of the WWE fans and into the SummerSlam main event. When he got let go, I said that I expected to see Bryan back in a WWE ring before the end of the year. Whether it was legit or not! Why? Because whether it’s for 2 months, 6 months, a year or 5 years, Vince McMahon and the WWE is in business to make money (like everyone else) and Bryan Danielson on WWE tv makes too much financial sense. Danielson is the hottest commodity in independent wrestling and is an internet sensation. Many people think that internet fans make up a small portion of today’s wrestling audience. I beg to differ…somewhat. Smart marks (internet fans who think they’re in the “know” and try to use wrestling lingo) make up a small percentage of the audience. A few years ago, the internet was a haven for those wanna be wrestlers (smart marks). Today, the youngest wrestling fan is on the internet. They may not be on the most hardcore wrestling blogs and websites, but they are knowledgeable about guys that are not yet in the WWE. Bryan has been wrestling for about 10 years and has wrestled all over the world. His nickname “Best in the World” is not a gimmick. Aside from maybe Kurt Angle, he just might be the best in-ring pro wrestler in the world. So ask yourself; why would you get rid of a hot commodity that can put your business in the black for an unspecified period of time? You don’t…and if you do, it’s part of a master plan to get extend the commodity’s shelf life. Business/Common Sense 101…ride the wave/hot hand until it starts to depreciate and know when to say when before the bottom falls out.
Now we’re getting into some story-lines with these franchises. There are circumstances that are literally affecting the teams overall worth. On the field with the actual teams performance to off the field with stadium and city concerns. This is the area where you have to consider more than is your team winning. If some of the things discussed in this section aren’t addressed, you may not have a team to root for. So here we are again GoJu Nation, the next set of franchise rankings. Peruse, share and comment. We’d love to hear from you. Enjoy.

Soldier salute to the Nation, your boy Q is back with more heat. I had to take a few days to recharge the batteries but the R&B Diva Jazmine Sullivan dropped a video that I had to come out swinging on. Okay y’all so here is the basics, I love the song. The concept, structure, production, her vocals… damn near everything is top-notch. With that said, WTF is going on with the video?!

Vibe Magazine reached out to me this week looking for Kyle West (our guest blogger). That’s when it hit me….
Gothamjungle hasn’t heard from Kyle in a long time and he’s overdue for a blog. So we connected and I told him “You know Vibe went through ‘The Industry’ to find you”. That means that Vibe magazine is paying attention to what we’re saying/doing. That is a good look. I then asked Kyle if he enjoyed blogging. He responded that he does. The research/education part of the blogging is what he gets the biggest kick out of. It “sharpens his sword” to an extent and GoJu Nation reaps the benefits. So without any delay, breaking down an R&B classic that not many know about, I give you Kyle West……..:
