How Dwayne Johnson & Will Smith Made Their Names Famous

BY: GURU JAY

  
Focus lead actor Will Smith was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for six seasons before becoming Mr. Box Office. Despite questionable decision making such as role selections, Smith always over delivers and never disappoints. Don’t fault a man for taking chances.
Most fans recall Dwayne Johnson’s WWE days as the Rock. Thousands have rented his Pay-Per-View World Wrestling Entertainment Championships. Nowadays, Johnson need not answer the question “if you smell… what the Rock is cooking?” In Hollywood and around the world, he is known as a premiere movie star.


What do the Rock and the Fresh Prince have in common? They started on a small scale and finished second to nobody. Also, it helps that these highly demanded actors simultaneously improved their skills as well as their physiques.
Watching Will and Dwayne perform onscreen is akin to seeing an athlete in action. It’s like spectating a NBA slam-dunk contest starring Blake Griffin and LeBron James inside a packed movie theater. As a professional wrestler Johnson can compete toe-to-toe with the best NFL Linebackers and Defensive Ends.
If you haven’t seen Gridiron Gang or the Game Plan, you don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Doesn’t Matt Kemp resemble Will Smith?

Have you seen Hancock, Hitch, or Seven Pounds?

Plus, Smith & Johnson are the richest actors. Sources estimate Dwayne is valued at $150 million. And Will’s net worth exceeds $250 million. Even Jay-Z would say they are “getting money like athletes.”
Johnson can learn a lot from Smith, who owns a stake in the Philadelphia 76ers. Will and Dwayne don’t ever have to worry. No matter what happens they are guaranteed money because of their legacies.

I consider Johnson to be one of the best movie stars right now. Moreover, Smith is one of the greatest actors I have ever seen across eras. Smith deserved Oscars for Independence Day, the Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, Pursuit of Happyness, and I am Legend.

Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith first made their names outside of acting. The Rock wrestled and the Fresh Prince originally from Philadelphia emceed. The takeaway is to do your best and keep getting better.

brand businessmen Ciroc Common Diddy Empire Entertainment ever-changing family Fashion Guru Jay Hip Hop Jay Z Kanye West money pop culture rap music Revolt TV Sean John vodka

Why Diddy’s Brand Is Ever-Changing

BY: GURU JAY

How many times has Diddy (Puff Daddy, Puffy) changed his brand name? The Hip-Hop impresario reinvents and expands his businesses. Sure you know that he maintains Sean John, a fashion company. But did you also know in October 2013, Diddy founded a digital cable television network named Revolt?
These days some people see Diddy as the Ciroc playboy. In actuality, Puffy’s empire crosses over into a variety of industries. Furthermore, Diddy represents diversity. That’s why Diddy conducts business with all kinds.
More so than Jay-Z, Diddy influences Kanye West and the Hip-Hop world. Master P was unsuccessful as an agent but there’s no doubt he inspired Jay-Z’s formation of Roc Nation Sports. If Jay-Z is the Warren Buffett of Hip-Hop, then Diddy is Bill Gates, and Dr. Dre is Carlos Slim. At the end of the day, they’re all about the Benjamins, baby!

The entertainment business has enough entertainers but not enough businessmen. What should be done to reverse this course? How about stopping young men from only thinking in the temporary mindset? What if they invested in themselves instead of buying Bentleys, Maseratis, and Ferraris?
There’s nothing wrong with splurging and flossing when you’re financially educated. Diddy owns fancy cars, clothes, and gems but he’s also highly invested in lucrative businesses. How many stars own stocks?
Diddy’s brand is ever-changing because the rap icon understands living in a violent world. Harlem’s globetrotter realizes that rough and tough circumstances make you stronger and don’t dictate unfavorable outcomes. While predicting the future is fool’s gold, preparing for the worst is not only best but also wise.

Look beyond Puffy’s personas and you’ll find class and personality. In every instance, Diddy makes mention of his family. Oscar winning music artist Common was right, “Even in this generation living through computers, only love…can reboot us.” What is more, Diddy recognizes the common thread bridging together both prosperity and posterity.

50 Cent 8 Mile authentic Biggie Smalls Celebrities College Dr. Dre Eminem Entertainment Guru Jay Hip Hop Music Nas pop rapping Rihanna Slim Shady The Monster Tupac Shakur Twitter

How Eminem Came A Long Way From 8 Mile

BY: GURU JAY

Some people say I’m picky. Actually, I just have acquired a taste for the best that life has to offer. In the words of Eminem aka Slim Shady, their styles are generic, while “mines authentic made.”
I don’t want to blog if I can’t break grammar rules.
The point is I’ve jammed to rap music my whole life with a caveat. In the late 90s and early 2000s, I exclusively listened to Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Nas, and Eminem. Essentially, I only listened to rappers with substance.
What is the first advice after you walk on campus? Don’t they tell you to “open your mind?” What they really mean to say is “open your pocketbooks and pay for these over-priced textbooks and tuition.” 
In my freshman year, I registered for an introduction to music course. They gave me credit for going to concerts and writing papers. College exposes you to new ways of thinking.

Although Eminem didn’t register with University admissions, he still registers with you and me. I don’t agree with all of Eminem’s beliefs but he genuinely has some great ideas.
Have you seen 8 Mile or Get Rich or Die Tryin’? So the story goes, Dr. Dre discovered Eminem and Slim Shady signed 50 Cent. 8 Mile chronicles the white rapper’s rise out of the black underground. Moreover, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ demonstrates 50 Cent’s struggle and ultimate perseverance.
Are Eminem and Rihanna the perfect music combination or what? Because Eminem is a rap god, that makes Rihanna a pop goddess. Thus, many of Slim Shady’s best songs are his collaborations with Bad Girl Riri.


Don’t fret if you’re unfamiliar with Hip-Hop. Follow Eminem on Twitter to receive important updates. The learning curve is not too steep.

If you are familiar with Hip-Hop, what are your favorite Eminem songs and why do you like him?

actresses Celebrities Entertainment Guru Jay Hollywood Jessica Biel Justin Timberlake Katie Holmes Mark Wahlberg Movies Oprah power couples Scarlett Johansson Suri Cruise The Kennedys Tom Cruise

Imagine You Were Jessica Biel & Katie Holmes

BY: GURU JAY

Picture this: You’re married to Justin Timberlake and your ex-husband calls himself Tom Cruise. Justin makes a masterful music video called Mirrors. Plus, Cruise made you feel like the only girl in the world.

Scenario 1
Justin Timberlake sings, “ I don’t want to lose you now. I’m looking right at the other half of me. The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold.” More importantly, you are expecting your first child together.

Scenario 2
Your fiancé Tom Cruise anxiously tells Oprah and the whole world “I’m in love” referring to you. Then, he jumps on Oprah’s couch causing a memorable scene. Your marriage to Cruise lasted six years and you cherish every second. What is more, you have a beautiful child from this experience named Suri.

Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes are two of my favorite actresses. I’m not saying this because they’re gorgeous. Trust me when I say Biel and Holmes are amazing and unbelievable.

Batman Begins would not be the same without Katie Holmes playing the love interest. Furthermore, critics applaud Katie’s work on the Kennedys. Have you seen Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, and Mad Money?
It’s so hard for actors to get consistent parts, let alone make millions of dollars like Katie. Holmes has built a respectable career. Almost every actress aspires to be on her level.

When you want a kick-ass soldier and female fighting machine, call Jessica Biel. Biel brings substance to Stealth, Home of the Brave, and Total Recall. Imagine Jessica Biel as the lead actress in Transformers: Age of Extinction with Mark Wahlberg.
Doesn’t Hollywood need another female action movie star besides Angelina Jolie? I don’t want to take away from Scarlett Johansson’s thunder. All I am saying is Jessica Biel deserves action roles because she’s proven herself in past films.
Go back to imagining you were Jessica Biel and Katie Holmes because you can be anything you want.

How Kid Cudi Takes You Up a Notch

BY: GURU JAY

I’m convinced that Cleveland, Ohio contains a secret ingredient in their water. Look at LeBron James as a prime example. I don’t blame him for returning to this city anymore.
Carrie Underwood said “there is something in the water.” Of course, Cleveland is strategically located by the Great Lake Erie. Did you know Kid Cudi was born and raised there? Not in the water silly! on land; he’s not Aquaman.
What are your favorite Kid Cudi songs? I suggest Day ‘N’ Nite, Pursuit of Happiness, and Up, Up & Away. In addition, the musician received two Grammys for All of the Lights.

Not enough bloggers pay tribute to Kid Cudi and his heavy impact on music. The average consumer listens to Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole in that order. Let me introduce you to a little variety, because isn’t life all about taking it up a notch?

Kid Cudi brings back the days of Woodstock. I’ve said it before, if I could time travel, I’d go back to 1970 and save Jimi Hendrix. Because I can’t break through the time continuum right now, I’ll see a few Cudi concerts while technology advances.

First off, Kid Cudi is underrated because he goes against the grain like Common, Mos Def, and Nas. He understands that Hip-Hop isn’t Pop. Rappers like Cudi are supposed to be vocal about social issues. Yes, pick and choose your battles, but don’t sellout and act cowardly. That’s what Iggy Azalea hasn’t learned. 

Kid Cudi proves that making positive Hip-Hop music is possible. What is more, properly produced motivational songs can in fact be profitable. Cudi demonstrates why more artists should incorporate spiritual and uplifting lyrics instead of superficial and materialistic nonsense.

Aren’t you sick and tired of the rubbish you hear on the radio? Why not try something different? Listen to Kid Cudi on Pandora, iTunes, and YouTube.

How Saxophonist Kenny G Perfected Smooth Jazz

BY: GURU JAY

 
I learned how to write poetry in the 5th grade. My teachers entered my poems into statewide contests. Fortunately I won a few of those.
Poetry stretches the creative mind and imagination. Picture life without words, rhythm, metaphors, and pentameters. How would you make sense of living and reality?
While growing up, I rarely listened to rock or rap music. I played jazz in my old portable CD player. Do you remember the Walkman?
Right after listening to Kenny G, I would write poetry because the saxophonist inspired me. Inspirational music serves multiple purposes. First of all, more souls seek daily inspiration. Second, motivational music itself cures boredom, frustration, and negativity.
Has Kenny G even played a negative note? Kenny mostly orchestrates positive moods, good spirits, and good vibrations. What is more, his long and illustrious career speaks volumes about his musical influence.
By my 15thbirthday- early 2000s, I heard every Kenny G album in existence. There is still something magical about saxophones. The jazz musician breathes life into his instruments.
Kenny G is a poet who specializes in smooth jazz on the soprano saxophone. His style is similar to the magnetic Adam Levine. He makes his hardware sound like Christina Aguilera.
Kenny G built his fandom by becoming the Microsoft of smooth jazz. Yes, Bill Gates created a monopoly with Windows. And, in the same way, Kenny G was the foremost saxophonist.
Christmas 2000, my mother asked me “What do you want for a present?” I’ll never forget receiving more than what I asked for. My parents gave me the Britney Spears Oops!…I Did It Again album, a stereo, and a Yamaha keyboard. I’ve always loved music since a youngster because music improves your quality of life.

Wouldn’t the world be a safer place if more young people listened to Kenny G and smooth jazz instead of Marilyn Manson?

Chapter 29 drama Entertainment episode 3 Guru Jay Hollywood House of Cards Kevin Spacey Michael Kelly Netflix political thrillers politics Recap Robin Wright Season 3 suspense synopsis TV

House of Cards Season 3: Episode 3 Recap

BY: GURU JAY


Starring as President Underwood, Kevin Spacey is setting the tone for season 3. In episode 3, Underwood meets with Russian President Petrov, first at the State Dinner, then at the Oval office. The recently divorced Petrov is the world’s most eligible bachelor.
At first glance, Underwood and his highly esteemed guest hit it off until Petrov starts screwing with the First Lady. From that point forward, Underwood scrutinizes the Russian President’s every action.
Petrov leads invited politicians and celebrities in drinking games. The leader insists this is according to Russian tradition, but I don’t buy that baloney. Everyone keeps drinking, obeying Petrov’s command, and accepting Communism except for Pussy Riot.

Pussy Riot disrupts President Petrov’s toast making an unforgettable exit.
When will Michael Kelly’s character former White House Chief of Staff Doug Stamper get the message? The administration has written Stamper off as a liability. Recall Stamper started the season helpless in a hospital. Now, he can’t sit still because the character wants to continue working for Underwood.
President Frank makes good on his promise and the First Lady becomes the United Nations Ambassador. Claire develops a strategic and romantic relationship with Secretary of State Catherine Durant. Jayne Atkinson plays secretaries like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hillary Clinton, and Condoleezza Rice combined.
Additionally, Underwood plans to make the Solicitor General a Supreme Court Justice. However, an elderly justice who’s in the early stages of the Alzheimer’s disease, doesn’t want to relinquish his position. The evil pork-loving President effectively threatens to publicly expose the Justice’s illness.

Although the POTUS told the Democratic leadership and America he rather govern than campaign for office nobody really believes him. Understand Underwood engages in doublespeak and secretly worships Satan. Democrats remind the President no one elected him every blue moon.  

This House of Cards episode not only shows the importance of strong foreign policy but how easily outside forces influence the United States government and how corruption spreads rampant.
