J-ZONE’S ANTI-HOLIDAY MASS TEXT TIRADE
Some of you have seen this rant from me via myspace or e-mail in the previous two years, and as long as I keep getting holiday mass texts, this will surface at this time every year. I don’t like repeating myself. I really really don’t. I only do that when a first attempt at sending [...]

Don’t tell me shit about his skill level, Tim Dog made one of the Top 5 rap albums of all time.
Dante, DJ Emz and myself got into a little debate a few weeks back about who would be the best fit for this accolade. Think about it…rappers that are so bad, they‘re actually pretty [...]
Read More..>>THE GRANDMA APPRECIATION POST
J-Zone conducts a video interview with his semi-famous Grandmother (Evil E) to reveal secrets of longevity as she celebrates her 86th birthday…and shows some senior citizen appreciation.
For her birthday, I bought her some Vaseline from Wal-Mart.
Senior citizens. They drive you up the wall when they pull out a special pair of glasses to read coupons [...]
I’M NOT AN EX-CON, I JUST LIKE TAPES Pt. 2
This is merely the second part/ video installment of my two part homage to cassette tapes. Some of you saw where I was coming from with my dissertation in Part 1 (here’s the link) and some of you thought I was a dinosaur, and effectively living in the past. Look, I finally updated to Serato [...]
Read More..>>THE 15 MINUTE RULE: SOCIALIZING IN NYC
J-Zone explains why socializing within New York City’s numerous cliques is overrated.
A few times a year, I’ll accidentally fall into a simple night of fun in NYC. But more often than not, NYC nightlife is a royal pain in my ass. Maybe I’m just getting old, there’s no alternate explanation. Or if there is one, [...]

J-Zone still owns and operates a cassette walkman. He also tried to have a tape player installed in his car, but he was laughed out of the dealership (seriously).
While sweatin to the oldies at Planet Fitness (a notoriously bootleg gym chain) not too long ago, some ragtag living room couch of a broad who [...]
TWITTER QUITTER
J-Zone joined Twitter over the summer after a year of resistance and peer pressure. Its been a joke, as expected. Chances are somebody you respect and admire will show their ass by saying something corny. You’ll eventually wish them death by shark attack after they flood the news feed with garbage day in and day [...]
Read More..>>MORE UNPOPULAR OPINIONS: THE KANYE POST
Another J-Zone entry that will surely be met with disagreement, but people forget that pre-the Bad Boy era, there was a such thing as an UNPOPULAR OPINION. That said, Kanye West is being unfairly hated on for shit he does well and unfairly praised for shit he does poorly. I think his ego is more [...]
Read More..>>THE “NO MORE ROCK N ROLL” APPRECIATION POST
By now it’s no secret that J-Zone has unpopular opinions when it comes to well…everything. Especially music. Here’s another one, and remember, it’s just an opinion! Schoolly D, salute!
Does anybody remember when rap and rock weren’t friends?
Look, I’m all for progression. And for the record, I like rock music. I’m an avid Hendrix fan, hell [...]
CHRIS BROWN ON CNN (RANDOM THOUGHTS)
Look, it’s Papa Smurf getting ready to slang some bean pies! J-Zone weighs in with some random thoughts stemming from this Larry King episode.
There’s no crappier thing to see on TV than Chris Brown in a baby blue sweater and bow tie, looking like Papa Smurf getting ready to sell bean pies. If that wasn’t [...]
