iSupport: Hip Hop Word Count

This is a hell of an interesting project that is well on it's way to gaining funding and becoming a reality. Check the video and peep the opening introductory info.

The Hip-Hop Word Count: A Searchable Rap Almanac

This is a really dope project that needs funding so it can get off the ground. Check out the video above, it’s worth your time.


“The Hip-Hop Word Count (HHWC) is a searchable ethnographic database built from the lyrics of over 40,000 Hip-Hop songs from 1979 to present day. The database is the heart of an online analysis tool that generates textual and quantified reports on searched phrases, syntax, memes and socio-political ideas.


The idea to build the Hip-Hop Word Count came out of having hundreds of heated & passionate discussions about Rap music: Who was the best rapper of all time? Which rapper had the smartest songs? Which was the most popular champagne in Hip-Hop during 1999-2003? Which rapper uses the most clever metaphors? Which city’s rap songs use the most monosyllabic words? Does living in higher altitudes create a natural proclivity for Gangster Rap?”

How do you deal with someone very close to you hurting you?

Stuck it up and move on with life.......I may have to take a few steps away from them depending on what was done and if this


What are you're pet peeves?
Controllable double standards. I don't like having expectations, rules or anything applied to me that that same person is willing to accept.

Would you truly respect, value, and marry a woman like those you post in your weekly hump day blogs? Some claim to have morals and call themselves free spirits, they meditate, and are just sexual but what do you really think from a Christian perspective? 

All cases vary on the person. I don't judge until I'm given enough valid info to do so. Now in regards to hump day I've posted an array of female types depending on my mood.

Long story short yes I could respect and value them if their personalities are on point. When I used to promote I was around models, dancers, etc... and many were great people.

As far as marriage I honestly couldn't say. A ton goes into marriage so it's not impossible but depends on a number of variables.

Why do you never smile in any pictures?

lol.I dont know. It's not intentional.

Favorite drink? Favorite food?

Got a a few of those too. Cognac, Sex on the Beach, Call-a-Cab. Foods I'd say soul foods, Thai food, Spanish food.


Whats your favorite color? song? vacation spot?

Blue......I have fa few fav. songs...............Miami and the Virgin Islands.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

5 yrs...um engaged or married.....maybe with a child.

Interesting Man Marriage Stats.....

I see truth in a lot of this information.

IS HE OLD ENOUGH TO MARRY?
This survey uncovered some interesting facts. The first was that there is an age when a man is ready to marry-the Age of Commitment. The age varies from man to man, but there are patterns that are easily identified:

* Most men who graduate from high school start thinking of marriage as a real possibility when they are twenty-three or twenty-four.
* Most men who graduate from college don’t start considering marriage as a real possibility until age twenty-six.
* When men go to graduate school, it takes them longer to get into the working world, and they’re not ready to get married until a few years after that.
* Ninety percent of men who have graduated from college are ready for the next step between ages twenty-six and thirty-three; this is when they are most likely to consider marriage. But this window of opportunity stays open only for four to five years, and then the chances a man will marry start to decline.
* A majority of college graduates between twenty-eight and thirty-three are in their high-commitment years and likely to propose.
* This period for well-educated men lasts just a bit over five years. The chances men will commit are sightly less when they are thirty-one or thirty-two than when they were between twenty-eight and thirty, but they’re still in a high-commitment phase.
* Once men reach thirty-three or thirty-four, the chances they’ll commit start to diminish, but only slightly. Until men reach thirty-seven, they remain very good prospects.
* After age thirty-eight, the chances they will ever marry drop dramatically.
* The chances that a man will marry for the first time diminish even more once he reaches forty-two or forty-three. At this point, many men become confirmed bachelors.
* Once men reach age forty-seven to fifty without marrying, the chances they will marry do not disappear, but they drop dramatically.

Apparently we been over doing it a bit???

Satisfactory sexual intercourse for couples lasts from 3 to 13 minutes, contrary to popular fantasy about the need for hours of sexual activity, according to a survey of U.S. and Canadian sex therapists.

Penn State Erie researchers Eric Corty and Jenay Guardiani conducted a survey of 50 full members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, which include psychologists, physicians, social workers, marriage/family therapists and nurses who have collectively seen thousands of patients over several decades.
Thirty-four, or 68 percent, of the group responded and rated a range of time amounts for sexual intercourse, from penetration of the vagina by the penis until ejaculation, that they considered adequate, desirable, too short and too long.

A lil Natural knowledge.....

Health benefits of coconut oil include the following:

* Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged air. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.

* Stress Relief: Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.

* CoconutsSkin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil. Further, unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin which normally become prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.

* Premature Aging: Coconut oil helps in preventing premature aging and degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.

* Heart Diseases: There is a misconception spread among many people that coconut oil is not good for the heart. This is because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. However, coconut oil is beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps in preventing various heart problems including high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as it happens in case of other vegetables oils. It does not lead to increase in LDL levels. It also reduces the incidence of injury in arteries and therefore helps in preventing atherosclerosis.

* Weight Loss: Coconut oil is very useful in reducing weight. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. It is also easy to digest and it helps in healthy functioning of the thyroid and enzymes systems. Further, it increases the body metabolism by removing stress on pancreases, thereby burning out more energy and helping obese and overweight people reduce their weight. Hence, people living in tropical coastal areas, who eat coconut oil daily as their primary cooking oil, are normally not fat, obese or overweight.

* Pancreatitis: Coconut oil is also believed to be useful in treating pancreatitis.

* Digestion: Internal use of coconut oil occurs primarily as cooking oil. Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems including irritable bowel syndrome. The saturated fats present in coconut oil have anti microbial properties and help in dealing with various bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., that cause indigestion. Coconut oil also helps in absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

* Immunity: Coconut oil is also good for the immune system. It strengthens the immune system as it contains antimicrobial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties. The human body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is claimed to help in dealing with viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as herpes, influenza, cytomegalovirus, and even HIV. It helps in fighting harmful bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and harmful protozoa such as giardia lamblia.

* Healing: When applied on infections, it forms a chemical layer which protects the infected body part from external dust, air, fungi, bacteria and virus. Coconut oil is most effective on bruises as it speeds up the healing process by repairing damaged tissues.

* Infections: Coconut oil is very effective against a variety of infections due to its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut oil kills viruses that cause influenza, measles, hepatitis, herpes, SARS, etc. It also kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, etc. Coconut oil is also effective on fungi and yeast that cause candidiasis, ringworm, athlete's foot, thrush, diaper rash, etc.

* Liver: The presence of medium chain triglycerides and fatty acids helps in preventing liver diseases as they substances are easily converted into energy when they reach the liver, thus reducing work load on the liver and also preventing accumulation of fat.

* Kidney: Coconut oil helps in preventing kidney and gall bladder diseases. It also helps in dissolving kidney stones.

* Diabetes: Coconut oil helps in controlling blood sugar, and improves the secretion of insulin. It also helps in effective utilization of blood glucose, thereby preventing and treating diabetes.

* Bones: As mentioned earlier, coconut oil improves the ability of our body to absorb important minerals. These include calcium and magnesium which are necessary for development of bones. Thus coconut oil is very useful to women who are prone to osteoporosis after middle age.

* Dental Care: Calcium is an important element present in teeth. Since coconut oil facilitates absorption of calcium by the body, it helps in getting strong teeth. Coconut oil also stops tooth decay.

Marriage By the Numbers

I found this to be very interesting.Read spread it around.If I get feed bacC then I'll share my opinion on this.

This is an outline of a book called Why Men Marry Some Women And Not Others John T. Molloy (the author of “Dress for Success”)This book is based on over 3,000 interviews conducted by Molloy and his researchers. They interviewed couples coming out of marriage license bureaus, and then a control group. The results reflect the statistical tendencies of marriage. Many of the lessons are common sense, but what sets this book apart is its specificity and the statistical backup for its assertions.


The Six Basic Guidelines For Women To Get Married

1. Insist on it.
2. If you find yourself in a dead-end relationship, move on.
3. Love yourself first.
4. Commit yourself to the idea of getting married
5. Keep in shape, watch your weight, and take care of your appearance
6. Time is running out—use time wisely in your search for the marrying man

To maximize your chances of marrying, only date the marrying kind:

* Most men will not consider marriage before they reach the age of commitment
o For 80% of high school graduates, 23
o For 80% of college graduates, 26
o For college men, the high-commitment period is 28-33
o For men who go to graduate school, 30-36
o After the age of 37-38, the chances that he’ll commit drops dramatically. After 43, it drops even more
o A 40+ man who has been married before is more likely to remarry than an equivalent bachelor is to marry
* Most men will not contemplate marriage until they have been working and living as independent adults for several years (hence the high-commitment periods)
* Men become likely to marry after they become uncomfortable with the singles scene
o E.g. They realize that they’ve become the sleazy old guys who hang out at the bars and hit on younger girls
* Men do have a biological clock, based on their desire to be an active father (especially to their sons)
* Misc. negative traits and warning signs
o Men who see marriage as a financial arrangement in which women have the most to gain
o Men whose parents divorced when they were young
o Men who live with their parents
* Other key facts
o Men often marry women whose religion, politics, values, and socioeconomic status match theirs
o Men whose friends and siblings are married are more likely to marry
+ 60% of the newly married men reported that they had a friend who had married within the last year.
+ Those men who didn’t have any married male friends were 2-3 times as likely to say that they weren’t ready to marry.
+ The majority of men who had seen their friends get married said that if they met the right woman, they’d think seriously about getting married.
* Avoid stringers, men who string along women but never commit. To filter them out, insist that he commit after six months. Then stick to it, no matter what excuses he gives.
* Consider unpolished jewels, men who are just as nice, intelligent, hard-working, and successful, but lack looks, height, or social skills.
o a. 88% of men over 50 who were marrying for the first time were marrying divorced women. The women told the researchers that they had already tried the tall, suave, type, and he didn’t make a very good husband.

First impressions are important

* 1. Men are attracted by the physical, but marry character
o a. Newly engaged men said that what attracted them to their fiancées was how classy, positive, energetic, enthusiastic, and upbeat their future wives were.
+ i. While 68% gave a physical description of their fiancée, only 20% said that what attracted them was how gorgeous and sexy their fiancée was. Over 60% described their personalities, even if the women in question were very beautiful.
o b. Therefore, be positive!
* 2. All wives are trophy wives—men marry women whom they admire and like to show off (but not for their physical appearance)
* 3. Dressing appropriately sends the message, “I am wife material.” Men marry women they perceive as “situational virgins” who move easily in their world.
o a. Editor’s note: In other words, don’t dress like a ho. Men see a sexy outfit as an invitation to have sex.
o b. Most men decide within 10 minutes of meeting a woman if she’s appropriate for marriage, or just for a casual affair.
o c. Over 80% of men said or bragged that their fiancée was the kind of woman they were proud to introduce to friends and family
o d. Over 70% of men said that they knew that their future bride was a “nice girl” the minute they met
o e. Only 7 out of 2,000 men interviewed said that their fiancée was dressed in a very sexy outfit when they met.
* 4. If you want to marry a man who is more attractive than you, go for a very good-looking man because he will actually place less emphasis on looks. Women see their own looks as a gift of nature equal to or superior to brains and talent. In contrast, 67% of very good-looking men think of their looks as a minor asset, and say they would rather be smart, rich, or talented. Do the following:
o a. Approach him. Very attractive men don’t make passes at women because they don’t have to.
o b. Let him put you on a pedestal. Don’t treat him any differently than you would another man, just because he’s good-looking.
o c. Let him see your talents and accomplishments. Very good-looking men often marry women who have qualities they lack—education, professional accomplishment, social standing, and ambition.
o d. Make demands on him. Advise him to go back to school or get a better job.
* 5. Making a good impression on his family is almost as important as making a good impression on him.
o a. 5% said that it was their family that had convinced them that the woman was something special
o b. 30% said that their family’s positive opinion had influenced them

What kind of women get married?

* 1. Women with a large number of female friends are more likely to marry than women with a large number of male friends
o a. Men don’t go out of their way to introduce their female friends to other men
* 2. If you reach 30 and want to get married, you have to make finding a husband a primary goal. Once your friends start getting married, they are less likely to have an active social life with you. Don’t be the last one off the bus!
* 3. Women who get married, even those with high-powered careers, make getting married a priority that they work at.
* 4. The larger the number of single men and women you work with, the better your chances of marrying
* a. If you work in an industry with few eligible men (e.g. the fashion industry, where most male colleagues are gay), or have other disadvantages, you’ll have to work harder outside of work to overcome them. It’s unfair, but suck it up.
* 5. Women with unrealistic expectations often remain single
o a. Much of the time, these expectations are imposed by others, who think that the men she brings home aren’t “good enough for her.”
o b. Give men a second chance—20% of brides to be said that they didn’t like their husband when they first met him.
* 6. Self-confident men are attracted to accomplished, self-assured, and talented women
* 7. Women who waste their time with stringers or men who don’t care for them hurt their chances of marrying
o a. Women who marry refer to the men who broke up with them as losers. Women who don’t marry often make men who don’t reciprocate their feelings the center of their universe and still speak well of them.
* b. Don’t date married or gay men.
* 8. Women who live with their parents are less likely to marry
* 9. Being slender attracts more men, therefore increasing your chances to marry
* 10. Women who put effort into looking their best are more likely to marry than those who don’t
* 11. However, men find women who are active and don’t spend all of their time primping more attractive
* 12. Women who make an effort to seek out the company of single men are more likely to marry
o a. Women who marry date more frequently than those who don’t, even it’s Mr. Wrong.
o b. Women who marry are three times as likely to participate in masculine activities in which they had no real interest.
o c. Women who marry are twice as likely to have made lifestyle sacrifices (changing jobs or moving) to meet eligible men.
* 13. Women who have active social lives are more likely to marry
* a. Go out on Friday and Saturday, when other single people go out

The stages in a relationship

* 1: Living up to expectations
o Men believe that they can size up a woman in 5 minutes. They’re usually wrong. If a man doesn’t call, it’s because he realizes that he made a mistake.
* 2: Getting to know you. The following types of women are more like to get asked out on additional dates
o a. Women who date more extensively
o b. Women who have male friends or brothers (and thus have a better understanding of men)
o c. Women who worry less about impressing their dates and more about having fun
o d. Women who don’t have sex on the first date
o e. Women who object when they don’t approve of the man’s plans
o f. Women who are friendly and positive
o g. Women who are a good audience and show interest and/or a concern for his welfare
o Sidebar: Why men don’t call
+ As men see it, they don’t need a reason not to call. They do need a reason to call.
+ The woman gets too serious too soon
+ The woman is not as positive as they had thought.
# 90% of men find catty remarks a turnoff
* 3: Needs and lifestyles
o This stage is about separating attraction from compatibility.
o If your lifestyles aren’t compatible, end the relationship as quickly and painlessly as possible
* 4: Steady dating (range: 3 weeks to 3 months)
o Men don’t typically think of themselves as dating until after 4-6 dates
o Women typically think of themselves as dating after 2-3 dates, hence the problem
o The primary reason men drop women during the first month or two is that the women come on too strong, too soon.
+ 50% of men have broken up with a woman because she got serious prematurely
+ Never speak of marriage, children, or your future together for the first 6 dates.
* 5: Romancing the woman
o Men are always trying to please the women they like. Just relax and enjoy your stay on the pedestal (because it’s likely to be brief).
* 6: Getting comfortable (3 months+). This is the stage where the couple stop feeling they have to be on their best behavior and start being themselves.
o The fact that your man doesn’t bring you roses, but instead plops on your couch to watch TV and takes you for granted is actually a natural stage and the hallmark of almost all serious relationships—not a deal-killer.
o But, don’t be a doormat. If you don’t complain, or, even worse, try to do everything for him, it will make him think you are just there for his convenience.
+ Women who withhold doing household chores usually get more respect from men
+ The women who insist on being treated well are 2x as likely to end up marrying their man. No one marries a servant.
o Insist on being monogamous
* 7: Committed couplehood (range: 6 months to 1 year; 73% said that within 9 months, their partner had become the center of their lives).
o Successful couples:
+ Are monogamous
+ Put their partners interests above their friends and family
# If his family member makes a negative comment about you, he should defend you. 79% of marrying men said that they came to their financees’ defense.
+ Hang out together without any particular plans. When just being together, you are a successful couple.
* 8: Premarital couplehood.
o Committed couples are:
+ Openly affectionate, and make sacrifices for each other
+ Become confidants. More than 90% of couples who get married are.
o But remember that men are sensitive to criticisms of their family, and men don’t share their feelings easily
* 9: The proposal stage
o Most men propose after going out with a woman for 18 months.
o If at the end of 22 months, a man has not proposed, the chances that he will start to diminish.
o For 3.5 years, the chances diminish gradually. After that, it plunges. After 7 years, your chances are virtually zero.

* 7. When a man says he isn’t ready, it usually doesn’t mean he will never marry.
o Often, it’s because they don’t have enough money.
