Morning peeps. An early morning update today as I am taking a day for myself. If you haven’t heard yet (I think I told the three people that read this page that I know about) The Chachi got in an accident last night. No stop signs + poles = crashes. Scientific fact. The important fact is that I'm okay and the other driver SHOULD be fine (not sure, she was being a fucking drama queen but there was a child in the van so I was a little worried) because seeing as how I couldn’t be going any faster than 15 MPH (air bags didn’t deploy and it is damn near impossible to speed in there with all the cars anyway) there wasn’t a lot of damage to either vehicle that I could see. I am going to have to get a new blinker and bumper because a Saturn is FUCKING PLASTIC and made to break. But it’s cool, everyone is fine. I will keep the peeps posted should anything else come out of this.
You know, the police can be cool sometimes. I’m usually never a fan because of how my friends (And yours truly) have been treated by the police since high school. But as I have gotten older I have realized that asshole police officers are the minority. Most officers just do their job and go home, while some abuse their power like champs. The officers last night were all cool (mainly because I have never been in an accident and have an impeccable driving record aside from the last six days) and I was cool to them. See, there is a little validity in what Chris Rock says:
And knowing is half the battle. Except for Zach because he got it BALLS DEEP on his ticket.
Man, it is already December. Thirty-one days until the new year and I must say I can’t wait. 2006 has been kind of a rough year for me. I mean life is hard no matter what and you just have to get it right and do your thing, but MAN 2006 was just The Gift and The Curse. Wow…I just quoted a Jay-Z album. It WAS a bad year. Yeah, I may do a year end wrap up of the reality show that is my life. It was also a kickass year! Douchebrawl was a success (thank you, peeps), NDK ruled ALL and didn’t smell. Got some new members to the Cru and made new friends. Except Rick, who is more of a bail-ee (or bailer depending on the situation) but aside from that I have met great people and have had a kick ass time. So it all evens out. Thanks for the success, love and support peeps!
Enough with the sob stuff. Well, you know what time it is, don’t you? It’s time for the…
PASSION OF CHACHI TOP 20 COUNTDOWN!!!
Let’s get started with a new entry on the Countdown:
20. Young Jeezy – I Love It (New Entry)
Okay, little known fact: I completely dig Young Jeezy. The Snowman makes his first ever appearance on the Top 20 and I like this song & video a lot more than ‘Let’s Get It’. This may be a big winter for hip-hop, with The Game, Young Jeezy and Nas all releasing albums this winter. Thug Motivation 201 in stores next Tuesday, peeps!
19. Game – It’s Okay (Last Week #14, Plunge of the Week)
Yeah, he’s still hanging on to the Countdown. Still have to pick up the album, although I found it on a certain ‘interweb’ and I likes it. Not too bad.
18. RBD (Rebelde) – Ser o Parecer (Last Week #20)
Mmmm…I don’t even have to say anything about this. I am watching the live tour video right now and…hells yeah. Dulce Maria is just packing the heat like a flipped over Pacer. ON FIY-YAH!
17. Bennie K feat. Tsuyoshi – Rensou Game (Last Week # 15)
Anyone notice that Cico’s hair looks like what’s her face from Ghost in the Shell? Although she is an android…I’d hit that. Even still, Bennie K is on there way out. I will miss them so…
16. Se7en – I Wanna… (Last Week #12)
Speaking of on their way out, Se7en continues his free fall from the Top 5. He has like 3 new PV’s and all are pretty good, just not Top 20 worthy. Unlike…
15. Rain (Bi) – I’m Coming (Last Week # 17)
FUCK YEAH. Now THIS is how you make a pop video. Dancing, explosions, pelvic thrusts and abs. Yeah, Bi has all the perquisites down.
14. Nelly Furtado – Say It Right (Last Week #19, Biggest Mover)
So I FINALLY got Nelly Furtado’s album on Tuesday and…WOW. This may be the album of the year. A motivated Timbaland produces circles around Pharrell, Scott Storch and Swiss Beatz (Yeah, I am getting sick of his fucking hook loops to make a damn hit. See Bring ‘Em Out, Cash Flow, I’m A Hustla and Untouchable). This beat is just BANANAS and Nelly puts in work with the vocals. Just an all around hit. Oh, and she is looking mighty fine in the video.
13. Pushim, RHYMESTER, HOME MADE KAZOKU, MABOROSHI, May J – I Say Yeah (Last Week #16)
Yeah, this song is the mad notes, too. Home Made Kazoku has a new track called Everybody needs some music which is kick ass, too. We may be seeing that song on here, too. Oh, and May J is a special lady. Just wanted her to know that.
12. UVERworld - Shamrock (Last Week #9, #1 for three weeks)
After holding down the Top 10 for more than THREE MONTHS (13 weeks) this song finally falls into the Bottom 10. Guess where this song places on the End of the Year Chachi-stravaganza? Tune in and find out!
11. Bowling For Soup – High School Never Ends (Last Week #13)
It’s weird that of the whole pop-punk-rock movement (Blink182, SR-71, Sum 41, Alien Ant Farm, about 25 other bands that suck it dry) Bowling For Soup is the one still around. Although Blink182 imploded more than anything else. Even still, I dig this song.
10. John Legend – Heaven (Last Week #11)
Two songs in the Top 10? Well this may just be John Legend’s year! It will be close between UVERworld, T.I., Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado but it will be close. That and this song is groovin’.
9. Jay Z – Give Me What You Got (Last Week # 7)
So I am kind of disappointed in Kingdom Come. I mean after a third listen it is OKAY, but nowhere near as good as The Blueprint. Hell, it’s not even The Blueprint 2. Also, this video gets annoying real quick, seeing as how it is a tie in to BUDWIESER. Geez, of all the beers.
8. Game – Let’s Ride (Last Week #10)
B walking up to the top, fools! After a few more go rounds, this song is pretty damn good. Too bad it has been prison rape cold (so cold the only way to stay warm is to be anally raped by a huge inmate) so I can’t have the windows down and blare this jam. Even still, it’s good stuff.
7. JoJo – Too Little, Too Late (Last Week #5)
After a quick cup of coffee with the Top 5, JoJo is beginning a little slide on the Countdown.
6. Bennie K – Joy Trip (Last Week #8)
Oh, yeah. Bennie K is slowing making their way to the top. They would move up FASTER if a certain someone would wear more clothes than showed off her fine, FINE tummy. You know how I feel about skinny people, but GOT DAMN Yuki has a tummy that makes me happy in the no-no zone.
5. John Legend – Save Room (Last Week #3, #1 for five weeks)
After domination of the Countdown for 10 weeks, John Legend begins his slow descent down the Countdown. Even with that, he hangs on to the Top 5 for another week. Just saw a special on John on BET Wednesday because I couldn’t make it to work. Real down to Earth cat. Wish more people were like him. I bet you he doesn’t own a fucking Phantom.
4. Soul’d Out – Starlight Destiny (Last Week # 6)
Soul’d Out has cracked the Top 5! Hells yeah! The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. That is one thing I like about J-Pop. The only one that can play out the song is me because I don’t hear it anywhere else.
3. Nelly Furtado – Maneater (Last Week #2)
Nelly couldn’t wrestle the Number 1 spot away from John Legend or UVERworld despite four weeks at Number 2. Even still, she had an AWESOME run, especially given the competition. Hell, between those two half of the weeks the number 1 spot has been occupied by one of their songs. Great job, Nelly. Keep an eye out for Say It Right, because that video is on rotation right now as I type this.
2. Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. – My Love (Last Week # 4)
With no Usher, the new King of Pop and R&B (TWO CROWNS, FOOL! WHAT!!) moves up to the Number 2 spot to try and take the crown. Seeing as how his album only has 4 songs, he is almost out of singles. Even still, get prepared for one HELL OF A BATTLE for the top spot! Well, it is time to announce the reigning champ…
1. UVERworld - Kimi no Suki na Uta (Last Week #1, #1 for two weeks)
For the second week in a row, UVERworld takes the Number 1 spot on the Chachi Top 20. Hell, guess what is on right now? You guessed it. I am just going to say it: BUY TIMELESS RIGHT NOW!! Yes, I know that YesAsia is charging an arm and a leg ($17.99 I think) but it is well worth it. Also, you have paid more for a lot worse (You know you bought Color Me Badd and Billy Ray Cyrus. Consider this atonement) so why not take a chance? You don’t even have to know Japanese to enjoy them.
That is all for this week! Can UVERworld tie their own mark by holding the top spot for a third week? Or will Justin and T.I. become the NEW kings of the Countdown? Or can Nelly Furtado bounce back and take her place on top? Tune in next week to find out!
Well, I have to get some things done today so I will be back soon. I am working on the last few posts of the year so stay tuned, it should be good. The least I can do for the peeps after hearing me bitch for almost a year. Chachi out.
Live, Laugh, Learn and Love.
