Good morning Steeler Nation. Looks like I collected enough donations to buy a tank of gas for a Driveby. Once again there is a story to tell through music. Well, maybe this is just an excuse to put some Hip Hop and a random rock song up here in BTSC. Happy Friday and enjoy!

Ok so I was thinking about the draft (because SteelChamps asked me a question on Facebook). I normally don't because that requires too much time, but I figured I'd be a surface critic. I am to the draft and the casual fan is to the actual game of football. I study the game and not the draft. I look at the first round and maybe the second round if I am bored. That hardly ever happens though. Anyhow, I ran across some Air Force films along the way and one in particular got me all hyped up. It will probably be my anthem if I continue Drivebys. As I said I would, I am including some rock in this one. It is not however the rock you may have heard. This is from an Air Force rock band called MAX Impact. I'm sure you'll like them. After the Jump I'll kick it off with what may be my Driveby theme song. Gasp! It's not Hip Hop either.

I was looking over the events of the last few weeks and decided I needed to do a hip hop state of the Nation address. For those that aren't aware, whenever possible I do a post-game post during the season with a hip hop theme called "The Driveby Report". It was something I started a few years back to give my thoughts about the game in "bullet" format. The idea was to make it a quick "fire off the bullets" and keep going sort of view into the game.

This year I added a hip hop/rap video to the report that summed up how I felt about the game. Birthed out of this came "The Driveby Extra". This is a random report meant to be a message while at the same time entertaining old school hip hop fans. Since this may be my last one, I make tribute to my man 5020 "Fiddy", in this "Extra". I even gave Rebecca (MommaRollett) an ab shot in the last video.

I was looking around at articles about the Super Bowl, kinda surveying they aftermath and I found something interesting. It was an article right under my nose on SBNation. Someone was thinking along the lines I was.

PixburghArn: Well my good friends Slash is once again taking a much needed break, so I'm standing in for him along with the very talented 1BlkGldFan. By the way, I was not feeling well last week so I was a no show. Feeling
better now and ready to go. This week we have Johnny (Ringo) bringing the guest hump. Let the entertainment begin. 1BlkGldFan, I'm going to let you be on top this week. You deserve it.

1BlkGldFan: I like to be on top!

PixburghArn: Uhh what was...uh where was...Uh.... Where were we? We need to talk. Seriously call me. :) Ummm ok folks lets get on with it.

Since I didn't get a Driveby done this week, I'll put another Extra out. This may be the last one. I call this one "The Rest of the Story" because it's got some random info that answers some questions you may have in the back of your mind. Let's get it started.

As if we needed any hype for this game, let me do this 2011 style. Sticking with my format I will convey my feelings heading into this game.

This week has brought up some new material for an "extra" edition of the Driveby. I understand this may steal some of my videos for my 2011 Old School Hip Hop Driveby theme, but as much as I've been on the road, who knows when I will be able to get to them anyways. Anyhow I was inspired by a now infamous blogger. He now joins the ranks of Air Holmes, Hi5 and [insert name here]. Some call them trolls, some call them gremlins. I just say don't feed them after midnight to be safe.

Since I was on the road and didn't do a driveby. I decided to do a "down the stretch roll call". I'll do this in 2011 Old School, Oldish school fashion I am using this year. I have looked around for some videos to convey the message behind each subject. Now put on your seatbelts and enjoy the ride.

Sometimes you get the breaks some times you don't. We hadn't gotten any earlier in the season. I don't think Cincy stood a chance even without the turnovers. All that happened today is what we expected. We put five (TDs) on 'em. Cincy, you have a good team but you played a better team today. These are the breaks. Lock and Load.

Since Slasha isn't back from Cali yet, I am hosting this thing again this week. I introduce to you our own 1BlkGldFan. She is the real deal fellas. I am glad to have her this week. Enjoy.

Here's an excerpt from an exchange 1BlkGldFan and I had over email. I though it was good enough for print.

PixburghArn: Just a little history of the HDM. I created the HDM with Webslaha in mind. He was wanting to contribute so I thought up something he'd be interested in. Can you miss with Steeler football and women? After a few editions, I handed it over to Slash.


1BlknGldStlrFan: No you can't miss with Steeler football and women~ I have to tell you.. I don't even date outside of the fanbase anymore. Steeler football is too much a part of my life to not be with someone who enjoys it as much as I do. Darn good thing Steeler Nation is everywhere..lol

PixburghArn: You are ate up! I like that.

Hey I can relate with what 1BlkGldFan said. I went to Pittsburgh to find my wife. Too many Bengal fans in Dayton and too many Redskins fans in Virginia (where I was living at the time). Anyhow, let's get on with it.

Man, I already have to make an appointment this week to get my blood pressure checked.  Then I have to sit up and sweat out a game we should have no problem winning.  Can we get an easy win please?  Don't try and tell me visions of a game almost two years ago to the day didn't cross through your mind.  Troy standing on the sideline watching the Steelers help the Chiefs end a 10 game home losing streak.  I want an easy win.

My video says that:  We want Easy.  Looking at this Old School Hip Hop brings back some memories.  It also reminds me where they got the stereotype of the Hip Hop Sweat suits and Gold Chains.  They made the turn at Boyz in the Hood. Speaking of Boyz in the Hood, let's get 'em blazin.  Lock and Load.

I have watched enough football this year to really dislike the leadership of the NFL and it's Stormtroopers (officials).  I thought about doing a Star Wars themed poast to express my feelings, but what I really feel is anger every time a hit comes and my immediate thoughts (here comes the flag to kill a great play) are realized. I know that's a run on!  Do get me started.  Never mind I'm already started.

Well that anger was not Star Wars anger.  All I could think of was Public Enemy.  I remember their music and videos were to educate on the injustices of previous generations.  They said in their music that it's not meant to be racist.   I am not writing this post to debate that, nor am I here to push their agenda.  I'm not even validating Public Enemy's anger towards "the powers that be."  I am however using their videos as visual expression of my disdain for the NFL "Powers that be".

We'll start you off this week with a video to help you to understand the title.

It's that time of the week again.  The middle of the week.  Slasha is on vacation in SoCal.  I sent him out there to work on his Driveby skills.  He will be ridin with the Long Beach Crew while out there.  With us today are swmt40 & Steeler Fever.  He wanted in on the hump.  Like Snoop Dogg and the Dogg Pound said, "It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none."  I know you gammarians are having a fit over that one.

Anyhow, we are starting up the home stretch.  Only 6 games left on the schedule and all I'm looking for is a spot in the dance.  I would like to be at home, but a spot in the dance is all that's really required.  How about a little retribution?  Round out the playoff run with wins over Houston, Baltimore and Green Bay?  Enough of that.  There's plenty of season left.  There will be time for that.  Let's get it humpin.

Welcome to my hood Rookie.  Dalton gets the business.  Just be glad we didn't give you Rodney King's beat down.  My thinking leading up to this game was, "We are going to introduce this rookie to the NFL officially."  He had a little success though.  Enough of that.  Getcha gatt.  Make it splat. Lock and load.  Let's roll.  Welcome to my hooooood.

What a game?  We could have won this game going away, but once again we let them stay in the game.  Let's get his party started quickly.  Lock and load baby it's time to roll.  Stop...drop...shut 'em down open up shop.  Ohhhh nooooo that's how rough riders roooooolll.

I saw parts of this game.  I missed some of the early part of the game and some of the second half, but I saw enough to actually do a Driveby this week.  Last week I was watching it on my laptop in San Antonio Texas. The quality of the video because of the internet connection made it hard to see so I didn't do one for the Jags game.  But back at it again.  Feelin the Old School groove again.  As I watched Ziggy Hood get almost pulled down by his jersey and the Steelers get called for defensive holding I thought, "Man Funk Dat! Get some glasses!"  Lock and load baby let's get this party started riiiiiight!

As Ice Cube would say, "Today was a good day".  I still don't get bragging about a "triple double" in pick up basketball though.  Anyhow, We really needed this. My heart thanks you Steelers.  I was able to relax.  Beautiful day as well.  Felt sorta like Southern Cali.  Load 'em up fellas. Ride or die.  Get 'em blazin let 'em fly.

I'm back from the marvelous land of Detroit.  I went there for some OJT on drivebys.  I even got to ride back up for a tailgunner on a bread truck.  Yeah times are that hard in Detroit.  The hotel I stayed in was interesting.  For the first few days I couldn't find anyone there that spoke English.  I'm talking about guests and staff. Anyhow, let's get this party started riiiiiight.  Let's get this party started quickly. Ride or die foo!

I almost pulled out my bazooka on this one and wrecked the neighborhood, but I decided to use small arms instead.  Ice Cube never made a song about this day, but then again who wants a rap titled "Today was a bad day?"  They leave those lyrics to Country artists.  My dog hid from me yesterday.  I think he can tell who is winning sometimes.  Hey, I wasn't wearing shoes. It wouldn't hurt much. Man, get your Black and Gold bandana on, lock and load. Get in and let the bullets fly.  Like Snoop said "It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none."

Since I can't do any game Drivebys, I smuggled my guns out of the house and will do a sports news Driveby.  These will be bullets of random nature meant to be humorous. They are meant for discussion as well.

I really didn’t want to get off my couch, load my gat and get in my car to fire off some rounds.  But hey, this was the first taste of "Steeler football" of the year.  I cringe as I type "Steeler football".   I really hate the first game of preseason and this game was just plain ugly.   I mean these games are short on star power. While it’s fun looking at new players, there’s chance or injury and all.  Anyhow since I locked and loaded....as Marvin Gaye said…Let’s Get It On.

Sorry it took so long fellas. I have now found some free time and here is the voting for your official BTSC "Lady of Comedy".

Since I got some interest in doing another genre of movies I am putting this one out there.  You need to nominate your favorite beauty from a comedy movie.  The entrants that get the most recs will be entered into a poll to choose the BTSC Queen of Comedy.

Ok here they are guys.  You nominated them and I entered only the ones I saw "recs" on.  It's too late to give anyone a rec now.  Vote for your favorite.  This is just how you like it:  Lots of pictures.  Ok, now study carefully before you pick.

Good day everyone.  I am new here.  This is my first post and I want to say I'm glad to be here.....  As I was lurking around, I noticed that the lock-out bringing less NFl news has caused the site to be a little quiet.  Well, I have a cure for that. 

Continue reading this post »

There's nothing like shutting up a big mouth.  This was like the big guy that's quiet, getting tired of the loud mouth punk and beating the crap out of him.  Even though the Steelers let up on them and then methodically put them to sleep it was a beat down. 

I feel a little uniformed in my Driveby today.  I was in church the first half.  I did DVR it but haven't watched all of the first half.  I got home in time to see the bad stuff (second half).  I was going to wait until I watched it entirely but then I remembered something.  I have lots of people in my posse.  They can let some bullets fly too.

So I am just going to start the festivities and "lock and load" with what I have.

Man I am so glad I went to this game.  This was one for the ages.  My son and I returned to the scene of the disappointing trip we made back in week 4.  No words to express what it was like at Heinz last night.  Now it's time to get busy.  Locked and loaded for this Driveby.

Continue reading this post »

This was the kind of game I was looking for.   The Steelers jump on top of the Browns and never let them come up for air.  This officiating crew actually let the guys play.  Then again maybe that's because they didn't have too many tough calls to make.  Regardless, this is how you want to enter the post season.  Backing in like the Chiefs is not the way. 

Anyhow, let's get this party started right.  Let's get this party started quickly...right.  Set it of on the left y'all.  Set if off I suggest y'all.  Locked and loaded.
