Nostradamus. Nastradamus. Negrodamus. Sportstradamus. Lets not waste time. 2010 predictions:

Jansport's Day Job
-A rapper will go to jail. I’m gonna bet on it being somebody from the Young Money camp. Gudda Gudda 4 not paying his Baby Mudda Mudda.
-3 to 4 Detox Records will leak around April. It’s an annual thing. Dre will also set a release date, and promote an official single. He will proclaim November 2010. Meaning March 2011.
-Rosa Acosta will get impregnated by an aspiring producer.
-I will be an aspiring producer.
-I will get Rosa Acosta pregnant.
-With Wizards and Vampires being all the rage, keep your eyes on Fairies and Serial Killers in 2010.
-The Lakers will win the title. Jasmin will cry. I will loop the part of “Today Was A Good Day” when Cube says “The Lakers beat the Supersonics.”
-Lil Wayne will grow tentacles.
-An R&B artist from the past will make an ill-fated comeback tour. I’m seeing an Aaron… another dark nigga…a Riley…oh shit its Guy! *GROOVE ME*
-People will wake up and say “HOLY SHIT. THX AND TERRACE MARTIN ARE AMAZING. LETS PAY THEM HANDSOME MONEY FOR BEATS.”
-Maury Show will strike an exclusive deal with WorldStarHipHop.com, creating the Straight Coonin’ Channel.
-Pimpin will still not be easy.
-People will realize that an extinct civilization predicted the end of the World in 2012. When their World already ended for all intents and purposes. They will see the irony behind this, but still prepare like it’s Y2k.
-Diddy is gonna create a popular website. People will love it for the first couple months, until they realized what they agreed to under the User Agreement. Computers will be filled with viruses and money will be taken from Paypal accounts.
-2pac will finally reveal himself to be alive. Hip Hop will say who cares. We got Gucci Mane. Nnnyeaaaaah.
-LL Cool J will release an album through Sears.
2009 was aiiiight. MJ died. So that kinda killed the entire year for me. It’s my understanding that if you’re reading this, you’ve probably proclaimed 2010 as “mii tYme 2 shiIn3, i””m4 sTuuUuN+ 0N d33z h03z, 4eva.” Thats cool. Remind me next time that I see you that we can’t ever be friends.
Im just looking to raise my mediocre level in 2010. Why make it my year? #GetYaMediocreUpIn2010
2011…now THAT shit is mine.
