swagger jackers
But you don't give a fuckYou're just a swagger jacker
Now I'm a certified lamborghinist and cadillacer
I mean, hell, that's the original intent of a blog, right?
Well, this is a topic that I've been sitting on for quite some time. Ever since Swagger Like Us hit the scene, people have been either freestyling over the beat, creating their own version, or dissing the decision of the four original people: The Louis Vuitton Don, Hova, Weezy F Baby, and TIP.
For example Jim Jones had a freestyle called 'Swagger From Us', saying that they took the swagger from them. He even went to diss T.I. and said that no one wants to have his swagger because when people go into a store, they always ask 'I wanna dress like Jim Jones'. This was Jimmy's argument and maybe he's right. No one wants to dress like T.I. but how does T.I. dress? What does his attire have to do with his swagger? See, too many people have this swagger word twisted.
Let's break it down.
According to TheFreeDictionary.com, swagger is defined as 'to walk or conduct oneself with an insolent or arrogant air; strut.' Now, in this context, a homeless guy could strut his shit on the Boardwalk and have extrodinary swag. Doesn't matter if his clothes are fresh or his LV shades fit right on his face or his G-Shock watch is set to the right time. It's all about how you carry yourself.
Shit, why do you think ugly guys get bangin' chicks? All about their swagger.
Swagger is like having an sense of confidence. If you have a ton of swagger, you can get anything. Because you're about confidence. People appreciate someone who has swagger. So for Jim Jones to say 'T.I. doesn't have swagger because no one wants to dress like him' means nothing. The argument holds no weight.
Now we move on to the article which spawned this whole post.
Ricky Ross aka the Correctional Officer aka Rick Ross the Boss aka that big black dude who was shirtless on the cover of XXL magazine. Now, on an article I saw on MTV.com, Rick Ross clarifies that he isn't pissed about not being on S.L.U. and the rumors he'll be on S.L.U. II are unconfirmed. Here's my second point I have to make. Why the fuck does everyone want to be on this record? Yes, the beat is hot but shit... make your own song about swagger. I mean, hell, Diddy did his own and it's genius.
No one on the corner have swagger like puff...
See what I mean? He created his own twist on the song. It's not a remix, a freestyle, or a 'swagger jacker'. It's his own swag because, let's be honest, nukka as a ton of swag. Why? He's confident, he's intelligent with his money, and his money gives him a new sense of confidence.
Still... what have we learned tonight two.shotters?
I. Your attire does not determine your swag.
II. Don't desire to get on this record and say you have your own 'swag'.
You know what you are when you do that? You're a swagger jacker.

gears of war 2 launch center
I know this is mad late and all... but a Gears of War 2 launch center is up at IGN.com. I'm not checking it out because I want to be surprised on November 7th when I play Campaign with my buddy. Anyways, everyone have a great Halloween and if you're legal and going to a Halloween Party (like me) then have fun. For the little two.shotters out there... wear dope costumes and make sure you get mass candy.
That's what Halloween is all about... getting mass candy and dressing up as a ghoul. I'm being a redneck for Halloween. Maybe I'll have pics. Who knows.

m.o.p. sues john cena
Funny story as soon as I hit the ol' HipHopDX. M.O.P. is suing rapper John Cena for $150,000 because he used part of M.O.P.'s hit single Ante Up. You know, the battle cry at the beginning (BRRR Abado) that you can hear throughout Cena's theme song The Time Is Now.Let's be serious for a minute here, shall we?
How long as The Time Is Now been out? Like, 5 years? So now, all of a sudden, M.O.P. is suing John Cena and all his entities? Please, son, this is desperate. Don't pull this shit that he's using an uncleared sample and you just NOW realized this. How long has the nukka John Cena been popular? Since the fall of WWE. Pathetic.
Oh well... it's not like I watch WWE anymore anyways. Fucking garbage.

t-pain 'karaoke' (video)
So here's the video to the song Blogger took off of this blog. You'll see how dope it is now (for those who didn't get a chance to listen to the actual track.) Peep the intro, kids. Too good. This is one of the best music videos I've seen in a while. T-Pain is a genius and I will bear fight anyone who disagrees with me.

john k. political figures
Saw this on Vinyl Pulse and I had to post it. John K. is releasing political figures of Barack Obama, John Before I sign off with my usual MX -ish, I gotta say I'm a little pissed. First, Blogger took off my Kanye post and now they have taken off my post of T-Pain's dope ass song Karaoke. The T-Pain one was, apparently, breaking copyright violations when I gave the source but no reason for the Kanye one? I'm seriously about to leave and make two-shot on wordpress.
Anyways, I'll blog some more tonight because I've been slacking heavily. I can't leave all my two.shotters hangin'!

Image and info jacked from the dopeboyz.
Mick Boogie and Terry Urban decided to mesh Jigga with someone else: Coldplay. I haven't listened to it yet because I was posting it over here as soon as I saw it but I can guarantee it's fire. Look at the artwork... dope.
Oh, and for those wondering... blogger took down my post about Kanye West's two un-released tracks 'robocop' + 'coldest winter'. I didn't get rid of it... they did.

nfl week eight
Fucking terrible. 0-8. It makes me ashamed to live in Cincinnati. Oh well, not a Bengals fan so I really could care less haha!The G Force was off this week but all the other games were sick as fuck. The Giants took the Steelers in their own game, the Titans keep their undefeated streak alive (till next week when the Pack takes them to school), NFL went to London where the Saints charged the -um- Chargers, Mike Singletary has some balls and punishes his team like a team should be, and the Cowboys still look like shit.
Watch the World Series too people. It's a good series and, for the first time in history, game five of the World Series was suspended 2-2 at the bottom of the 6th. If the Phillies win, it's over. Still, NFL is better.
More scores are under the cut.

ludacris f/ lil wayne 'last of a dying breed (move the crowd)'
I'm tryin' to stay on my blogging grind. It's hard out there for a pimp, Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Anyways, here's a track off of Luda's new album Theater Of The Mind, dropping in your local Best Buy, Wal-Mart, iTunes... wherever November 25th. It features Weezy F Baby not using the Auto Tune. I like Auto Tune and all but you gotta know how to use it. Wayne does not.
Good looks to the dopeboyz for bringing this to my attention. After a night of working and chillin with wifey, a good track is what I needed to make the night even better. Peep the album art too. I like it. Now we just need 808's and Heartbreak's album art and I'll be good to go.

darth vader for soul caliber IV on 360
Your eyes do not decieve you... yet again. First Sin posts for the first time since B.C. and now as soon as I get on XBL for the first time in forever, I see that Darth Vader is now a playable character in Soul Caliber IV. This is where I'll be for the next few hours, working on mastering his moveset. If you wanna play with me or play some Fable II with Sin, my gamertag is L0UISVUITTOND0N and his is, of course, Scottish Sin.
Happy gaming.

Gaming Nirvana
Your eyes do not decieve you. This is Scottish Sin posting on Two Shot, or other wise known as 'that blog where MX posts the cool shit all the time with that Scottish Sin guy that pops up every now and again who posts about some shit when he feels like it' blog. I think we'll stick to Two Shot, and for good reason.
Anyways... today I got the LE edition of Fable II. I've played a little bit and it's great so far. I'm having fun in the first big town you get to called Bowerstone where I'm trying to get those promotions as a Blacksmith, because more promotions means more money which is always a good thing. I've already bought a fruit & veg store and a pie shop, so whenever I log back in I should have some money waiting for me, because it runs on a cool system that accumulates money for you even when you're not playing the game.
The dog which is a new feature in Fable II adds a lot to the game, especially when he starts sniffing out treasure and gets scared when you go into dungeons to the point you pretty much have to reassure him before moving on. It adds another little cool element to the game in that you have a true companion that can tag along in your quests.
As for the armour you get with the LE edition, it's a medievel version of the Halo armour which looks nice. Real nice. I got the pink dye and all those other items you get from the puppet show flash game on xbox.com as well, but haven't used those yet.
The only thing I'm using is the energy sword as I tried out the armour for a little bit, but I felt it looked too good just as you're starting out in the game, so I went back to my old stuff and I'll just look for other clothes as I progress through the game to get a natural sense of moving on up through the world of Albion. That, and while it's cool, it's more of a novelty and there for marketing reasons, so that's another reason I've put it away.
Overall, first impressions are great and I can see myself having a lot of fun with this game as I expected. Not let down in the slightest.
Anyways, with my impressions of Fable II out of the way. Let me tell you why this post is called Gaming Nirvana.
One, I've got Fable II now which is great, and next Thursday I'll have another game that I've been looking forward to for a long time called Fallout 3. A post Apocalyptic RPG from Bethesda who a lot will know are the makers of Oblivion. Another amazing game, just ask MX how much I loved and played that, so you can imagine I'm excited.
Not only that, but the folowing Friday on November 7th, Emergence Day, another amazing game hits called Gears of War 2. You may have heard of it. This game I cannot wait for. It's going to be immense and I'm looking forward to taking on the Horde with my Pk partner in crime, MX. You'll catch us online on that a lot, RAPING as usual.
But that my friends is why the next few weeks and the months after that are going to be Gaming Nirvana, and despite the shitty news about Xbox Live Primetime being delayed, don't you just love the Xbox 360?
