KnockoutNation.com is proud to present to you the original documentary “The Fire Inside: The Timothy Bradley Story.” This is the first of many combat sports documentaries we will produce that will pull back the curtain on the lives of fighters and allow the viewer to become a fan of the individual and their personal story rather than just the fighter.
KnockoutNation.com journeyed to Palm Springs, CA to spend a few days with Timothy Bradley as he prepares for his highly anticipated rematch with Manny Pacquiao. We got a better understanding of Bradley’s childhood, the rougher side of Palm Springs where it’s a dog eat dog world and how the young bully with a Napoleon Complex channelled his energy into boxing.

As a boxer who stepped on the big stage with little fanfare, Bradley sheds light on the financial difficulties he dealt with early in his career and how he managed to come out on top.

We also get some insight on how what was supposed to be the greatest moment in his boxing career turned into a lingering nightmare that he even considered ending his own life due to the overwhelming backlist that haunted his family after the first Pacquiao fight.

This is a story about the perennial underdog finally getting his due. This is the tale of a man who has constantly proven himself since his father made him do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups a day as a 5-year-old. He’s a man who finds no mountain too tall to climb. This is “The Fire Inside: The Timothy Bradley Story.”

Car Washing Men: Gonna Explain This Only Once!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: Uncategorized
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

_________________

A man washing his car on da regular. This seems to be a sore spot with some women! Wifey and I had a discussion about this subject a few weeks ago and lo and behold, this monster has reared its ugly head again when one of my Facebook friends (Shout-out to Felicia M. for the fodder!) took issue with us guys liking to wash our cars. She posted, “Men care wayyyyyy too much about the way their cars look! My son’s father… washes and waxes every Saturday! That car be so clean and shiny that you can see your face! My question is why men why??? …Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

This, from a species of humanoids (women) who go to grotesque measures in the name of “beauty” to look good! LOL. I mean, it ain’t like women don’t do stuff that we men find over-the-top (like butt-injections, collagen lips, breast implants, make-up, all day beauty shop rendezvous’, etc., etc.—but a simple man only wants the pleasure of washing his friggin’ car!)

So! I wrote this blog for you women—that you may once and for all stop asking why we men like to wash our cars regularly (and get an attitude if you ask us to wash yours!)

In the words of Kendrick Lamar, “Please don’t kill my vibe!”

Men wash their cars for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to the following: A clean whip is impressive to many females, especially when he pulls up to the club sittin’ on some “Trues & Vogues” or some 20 inch rims on Pirelli tires—or back-in-da-day—some Sprewells spinnin’. Yes! Chicks dig dudes in hot cars or, like 50 Cent once rapped, “I let my whip talk for me!” A hot chick will see a dude in a hot car and catch “da vapors!” (old-school rap lingo for rising up and paying attention) Panties get instantly wet! He’s pullin’ her based on that thang in the parking lot! A bad-ass car catches the eye of chicks and dudes alike, but it all starts with a clean ride. Yes! Men wash their cars for vanity-sake, but there’s a psychological component that women fail to see and men never articulate, so I’m-a give it to you straight-no-chaser!

You see! It really isn’t about washing the car per se. It’s deeper than that! As someone who used to wash his big-body Benz erry Friday, I am as guilty as they come. I loved washing my car! It was a cathartic, existential, ethereal, heavenly experience! Taking my car from dirty to clean by way of soapy water and hand drying is just part of the experience. Washing my car while my stereo blasts—shining those chrome rims—ArmourAlling those 20 inch tires—wiping down the interior and putting a fresh deodorizer on the rearview mirror—these acts are as sacred to the male species as women shopping at Victoria Secretions for s### drawhs ling-ga-ree! (lingerie)

(Even dented, thanks to a night of debaunchery and libations I’m still washing it!)

But again, it isn’t about the act of washing a car! How can I explain this to you women who claim to be a more introspective and deeper thinking species? When a man washes his car he is lording over the only thing that is truly his (if he’s married or shacking with a chick, for sure!). It is his one slice of peace and serenity! It is his man-cave on wheels! It is the one time of the week which his vanity is one display! He washes his car, not because it’s dirty—nay! He washes his car because the act of washing his car allows him to feel masculine, manly and alive! Cars have always been associated with manhood and masculinity and the way some women treat their men—whether they be husbands or boyfriends—a man washing his car allows him to rekindle and take back his manhood, which some of you women have raped him of all week long! (Yeah, this s### is deeper than washing an effin’ car!)

Washing his car allows him to download the b####### of a stressful work week. Washing his car allows him to upload his mind with fanciful thoughts of how he’s gonna look pushin’ through the hood and the stares his whip will get. Washing his car allows him to escape his mundane existence. And lastly, washing his car may be the only time he can get some “me time” without a woman all up his ass!

No! He doesn’t wanna wash your car ladies (unless he’s schemin’ on some stank feeling altruistic!) because, verily (truly) I say unto you; if it was simply a matter of washing a car, he wouldn’t wash his own! Trust when I tell you this! When he washes your car, he experiences none of the aforementioned euphoria! He washes your car with the excitement of watching paint dry on a wall!

Even now, when a n#### like me, who rides a scooter—I still need that me-time to wipe my baby down after a long week of driving her. If anyone should understand men’s fixation with washing their cars, it should be women, because women are consumed with vanity. Now’s the time for women to be deep thinkers—when a man is washing his car!

I know your man has never broken it down like this, but I bet a pretty penny he will cosign err’thang I’ve written. So ladies, if you care anything about your man, let him have his moment! Go shopping or gossip on the phone. It’s only soap & water and an hour out of his life! Sheesh!

20 Years Later Brandy, MC Lyte, Yo-Yo, and Queen Latifah Reunite For “I Wanna Be Down” Remix

Twenty years after Brandy’s debut single “I Wanna Be Down” was remixed with rappers MC Lyte, Yo-Yo, and Queen Latifah, all four ladies reunited on the Queen Latifah Show Tuesday to celebrate the classic hit single’s anniversary.  Queen Latifah talks about how hearing MC Lyte’s verse made her rewrite her rhymes, and Yo-Yo stated that after hearing both MC Lyte and Queen Latifah’s verse she felt the need to tweak and change her verse a couple times. A young Brandy (15 at the time) expressed that she had no idea what the female rap idols were rapping about, but she was just excited that they jumped on the track. “I was so star struck,” says Brandy. “I was a total groupie with you [Queen Latifah], MC Lyte, and Yo-Yo, and I wasn’t shy about it. To work with these women I had grown up watching was a total dream come true.”

Queen Latifah also shared that Yo-Yo’s verse made her do some research on the low-riding culture to learn what “pancaking” was. She also lets everyone know that Yo-Yo was the First Lady of West Coast Rap. Check out the clips below.
