The Passing of a Comedic Icon.

It's been a couple of days since his death and I'm still shock. His death was just out of the blue, much like Tim Russet's (R.I.P.), and it's made me think about life and the legacy we leave behind. I have been around long enough to say with great confidence that George Carlin is-was-and will be one of the greatest comedians we will ever know. George Carlin went to jail setting standards, and went through life breaking barriers for all of us. Carlin was a humorist, a bibliophile, and a true humanist. From the kids like mine who grew up watching him on 'Shining Time Station' to the Kevin Smith movie fans who discovered him in 'Dogma', to the fans of his writing (his books were just as funny as his stand-up) to the old farts like me who remember the "Hippy Dippy Weather Man" back in the 60's and have been watching his T.V. specials and going to his concerts ..... we will all miss this extraordinary man. R. I. P. George Carlin

1 More Dead - This Time @ Planeta - WTF Kids .... can we stop this shit now?

Chauncey Williams was 22 years old.  He was a friend to many and now the many along with his family get to grieve. Why? What the fuk for? I asked my friends from all parts of town what the fuk is going on.  I get many different responses, but one of the answer I get most is ... "It's just the way the streets are." Fuk that. This isn't South Central. This isn't Compton. This isn't Ghost Town. This isn't Long Beach. This isn't how the streets are ..... this is what they were turned into. This is San Antonio. A city built by immigrants and prostitutes. Gang life was not supposed to happen here in lil ol' Germantown. But it did. Every week my friends are losing their friends cause someone decided that a shooting was the only alternative. It hurts to see my friends grieve all the time. I am thankful to the many artists out here who don't set trip - they know words are more powerful than a gun. It's time for more words and fewer guns.

R KELLY FREE !!!!!

Photo courtesy of Paul Beaty/AP June 14th, 2008 Friday the 13th - (of all days) and R Kelly is FREE!!  After six long ass years, R Kelly walked free yesterday.  Deliberating for less than a day, jurors in the Chicago courtroom acquitted Kelly on 14 charges of child pornography saying that the man on the 27 minute sex tape was NOT Kelly.  Kelly would have gotten up to 15 years in prison man. Outside the courthouse, the Grammy award-winning singer wiped away tears and hugged his defense lawyers while fans cheered for him.  Kelly said nothing at all - he just got into his SUV and jetted out. This was an amazingly long exhausting trial.  Allan Mayer, Kelly's spokesperson, said that Kelly had faith that he would be cleared stating "Robert has said all along that he believes in our system, and he believes in God. He did not expect it to take six and a half years. This has been a terrible ordeal for him and his family."  Ya think so Allan??? I am happy for R Kelly.  But ..... I still wanna know .... if that wasn't R Kelly's naked ass in that sex tape doing all that nastiness .... then who the fuk was it and why hasn't that cat been arrested??? What is your take on all this? Think he is still guilty? Think the jurors did their job right? Drop us a line and let us know what you think. 1 Sherril

All: R. Kelly found not guilty on all 14 counts! Who knew! Lol! Send your comments to blog@sa-urban.com!

Rick Ross and Foxy Brown are an Item!!

Rappers Rick Ross and Foxy Brown are a couple, according to reports. Sources say the entertainers are in a serious relationship, which has Brown - a Brooklyn native - planning a move to Miami to be closer to Ross, reports AllHipHop. "They are in fact a couple. Rick Ross swept her off of her feet and this is gonna [be] the next Big Hip-Hop couple," an inside souce says. "They both are in love." Foxy Brown, who recently ended a string of legal battles and a stint in prison, has reportedly grown close to Rick Ross' family as well. Born Inga Marchand, Foxy is working on her next album Black Roses. The CD is the follow up to Brooklyn's Don Diva, which apparently caused the dissolution of the rapper's relationship with former manager Chaz Williams. Foxy claims the album with pieced to together poorly while she was in prison, and blamed Williams for the bad result. Ross, too, is currently working on a new album, to be entitled Deeper Than Rap.

Monday- 3 ALARM FIRE ON SIR WINSTON

Monday June 02, 2008 In just one hour my street went from quiet and calm to fuking choas. That 3 alarm fire all over the news .... its in the apartments across the street from me. About 1:30 I heard the first fire truck roll up, within an hour there were twenty plus fire trucks, five EMS trucks, two cop cars and news trucks everywhere. The whole building looks trashed. If it isn't burned it is hella smoke damaged. It does not appear anyone that anyone was injured.
