Trickwinkle

State of the Union Address
Very encouraging. Removing the corrosive influence of money in politics is something that NEEDS to be done. I swear both parties should agree on that. There are statutes in place that limit lobbyist donations in Minnesota and there's no reason they can't apply to the federal government. Read more!

Obviously something proacktive does not condone. lol.

Skyrim in Real Life
Wow this is really well done and funny. All jokes aside, my roommates and I have been playing a lot (probably too much) Skyrim lately, and I can honestly say it's right up there with Halo 2 and 3, Portal 2, Zelda, and Mario for my all-time favorite video game. Such an amazing and deep story and gameplay. Never experienced anything like it before. You don't even feel guilty playing it because it's so satisfying. It honestly feels like you're reading a good book, or watching an enthralling movie. Read more!
Habits and Contradictions- Schoolboy Q
I've heard a couple leaks off this album and I've really like what I heard. Schoolboy Q seems to be the early frontrunner for the perpetually-debated "Breakout Artist" title of 2012. Q is a member of 'Black Hippy' along with Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul. Buy the album on iTunes now! Read more!
Introduction: Didz
Team Proacktive is proud to announce the newest blogger to the team. He goes by the name of Didz and will bring a new and fresh perspective to proacktive. Obviously Didz shares a love for hip-hop and pop-culture along with the rest of the bloggers, but he recently has become an artist in his own right. Didz has produced hip-hop music during his college career, notably Didz was a part of That Feeling ft. Ion and EyeD.
I know I can't wait to see what Didz will bring to the team. I'm confident that Didz will post worthwhile and interesting media and thoughts that you have come to know and love from proacktive.com.
So, I introduce to you, Didz, the newest member of the team. Be on the lookout for his posts in the future! Read more!

Stay Schemin' (Remix)- Common [DRAKE DISS]
Here we go. So after subliminal disses (including one by Drake in his Stay Schemin' Verse) and back-and-forth from Common and Drizzy, Com steps to the plate and delivers a direct diss track to Drake. Looks like we have some good ol' beef back in the game. Will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
Album art was allegedly made by Common by the way too lol. Read more!
