Hot or Not day 2

Here's some more of my '10 Hot or Not list...

Hot: Humility. I dig it. Example: I know a kid from a number of years back who is now climbing the American Idol ladder. I shot her a Facebook message saying congrats. As busy as she is, she wrote me back to say thanks for the prayers. The meek shall inherit the earth. Keep your eyes wide open for Ashley Rodriguez on this season's Idol; she's gonna crush it.

Not: Arrogance. I was watching a clip from one of those shows where you have to watch someone get a dumb tattoo of their dead Golden Retriever that saved their life when they were five. Anyhow, there was a past Idol contestant getting some ugly image inked across his back and he introduced himself saying, "you may remember me for a little show called American Idol."
You pompous donkey, don't you realize how trite that sounds, not to mention dopey. That tattoo will inevitably look awesome when you stop working out and gain fifty pounds. Take it from that dude from Eight is Enough & Charles in Charge.

My Hot or Not List

I've been saving these up. Here's part 1 of my current Hot or Not list for twenty ten:

HOT:
Nineties stuff. The eighties trends need to die out to make way for the nineties, son. Bring back Starter jackets and Nike Flight Lites. In fact, bring back those David Robinson Nikes, too. I want to hear more people saying "whoomp, there it is," "homey, don't play that," and "it's da bomb."
You have to say "da bomb," NOT "THE bomb." Exclaim it the way it was intended to be exclaimed.
I am going to do my part and start eating those little mini pizzas we used to get at the snack bar in high school. I will also rebuild my Tommy Hilfiger wardrobe. I will dig for my Naughty by Nature tapes, and I will play the junk out of the Juice soundtrack. Speaking of Juice, I want some hot movies a la Boyz in the Hood, Menace II Society, New Jack City, and Dead Presidents.
I want to see little kids rapping like they're hard, too, and then beefing with each other like Kris Cross and Another Bad Creation.

NOT: Regarding Nineties stuff, leave the mushroom haircuts behind. They were awful. I had several variations. Also, leave behind the baggy, baggy, baggy jeans. And definitely no backwards clothing.
