Happy Birthday To The King!
Now, as many of you know this would also be Michael Jackson birthday if he was still with us. He would've been 51 years-old. Its still unbelievable that he's gone. I mean of course no one lives forever, but damn, that's Michael. Still crazy, but happy birthday and R.I.P. to the King.

Jay-Z - Ghetto Techno
I was about to get up and start dancing when this came on...then I remembered it was Jay-Z. There is NO excuse for someone of Hov's stature in this game to be making songs like this. I mean besides the fact that he's 39, this just isn't the kinda shit any Jay-Z fan wants to hears from the god MC. Man, and I thought Venus Vs. Mars was on some other shit, I had no idea! What the fuck were Hov, Kanye, and Timbo in the studio doing?? It clearly doesn't sound like they were trying to make good music. This is so depressing.

Mary J. Blige - The One (feat. Drake) Video
I still feel like Mary shouldn't be making auto-tune records, but I can't front on this song, it grew on me. It doesn't hurt that Ryan Leslie Drake absolutely smashed his verse. That kid is not disappointing so far and making the most of all his guest spots.
As far as the video goes, I'm definitely not feeling the Vanilla Ice/Grace Jones hybrid hairstyle. That was just weird lol.
2Pac - Welcome 2 Death Row/Ambitionz As A Fighta
Damn, how pissed must Danny Boy be that this track didn't drop until now?? Pac said he was gonna be platinum plus, but this was probably gonna be his big break and it came out a decade plus after the fact. He's probably somewhere with his family angry as hell! I ain't mad at him though, this track is sweet! I think I'm gonna put All Eyez On Me on my phone for work tomorrow.
2Pac - If There's A Cure/War Gamez
Can you say timeless music?? How crazy is it that this song is just as dope now as it would've been if it dropped back whenever they made it. How many rappers in that came out after 2000 can collabo on a freestyle that could also be a hit record?? And I'm not talking about any of this 2009 radio, dance, chant bullshit, I'm talking about some shit with a sweet hook and sick verse that you can ride to. What are there 3, maybe 4 that could do it??
Somebody's Gonna Get Pregnant: Intentional Flavors!
Random News Shit
As you can read in the link, Juvenile is said he doesn't really know what's going on with the project so we can go ahead and file this under the list of Cash Money albums that will never be made or released. Is Turk even out of jail though?? You can't have the Hot Boys without all 4 members and I think there is a good chance he's still locked up. Welp, I guess we shall see.
On another note, I got some new Juvenile stuff to post so I'm gonna try to get that up before football starts tonight.
The Video Board Wins! The CYST Is Born!!
This is probably the right decision for right now anyway. The Cowboys shouldn't be faulted and made foot the bill for raising the video board when it was built under the NFL's guideline and also approved by the league. I'm guessing the NFL didn't want to pay for it to be done either so 2009 will pretty much be a trial run to see if something actually needs to be done for 2010.
Broncos Suspend Brandon Marshall Indefinitely
Why don't they just trade this man?? That's going to be the only way to resolve this problem. I know you don't wanna set the precedence that you give every player what they want, but there is no other solution here. The Broncos just need to realized they fucked up by bringing Josh McDaniels in who fucked up by wanting to bring in Matt Cassel which fucked around and pissed off Jay Cutler and now their QB is playing for the Bears and their best WR is understandable upset.

Shots Fired By T.O.!
Anyway, you thought Mike Vick was gonna be the only big news out of the NFL for ESPN tomorrow?? Think again! Check out what T.O. had to say about the news that his "replacement" in Dallas, Roy Williams, had hurt his shoulder and watch ESPN blow it out of proportions tomorrow:
"The pressure has mounted n D-town...Stay tuned! This is WTEO81 reporting live frm Buffalo,NY. Wishing u a speedy recovery Roy!" Via @terrellowens
Roy Williams Hurts Shoulder In Practice
ESPN.com is now reporting that X-ray's on Roy's injured shoulder were negative and he's likely done of the rest of preseason.
-----------------
Looks like the Romo/Roy era might have to be put on pause for a minute as Roy fucked around and got hurt in a collision with 2nd year DB Orlando Scandrick. I haven't seen the play, but I do know they weren't practicing in pads and this was supposed to be a walk-through. So far all we know is that its a shoulder injury (not a broken collarbone like Joe Buck and Troy Aikman said on the Fox broadcast) and Roy will have an MRI and X-Ray tomorrow. Also Scandrick has come out and said he didn't try to hit him and was just trying to make a play on the ball.

The Lady L Breakdown
Y'all know I LOVE the Twerk Team, but my girl Lady L hasn't been coming with it much lately. I don't know if she's injured and needs to spend some time on the P.U.P. or maybe a stint on the 60-day D.L. for my baseball fans out there. Well here's a theory: Maybe she's not getting enough camera time. Here's the breakdown:
Okay there are 3 official Twerker so the breakdown of camera time should be an even 33.3% or something close to it. In this video, Lady L makes just 2 appearances of 17 seconds and 24 seconds respectfully. In the 3:17 video that means she was only on camera for 20.8% of the video and Betty Butt and Mz. Twerksum split the other 79.2%! Maybe if Lady L was on the camera more she could work through her issues?? I don't know, I'm just saying. (By the way, Betty and Twerksum killed their parts!)
Thursday Billboard Update - 8/27/09
No new entries into the top 10 this week, but the same ol' guys in a few different spots. Jay Sean's Down does reach a new high at #3 though.

Drake - Forever (feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, & Eminem)
Okay, forget Kanye and Wayne, this was a 2 man race between Drake and Eminem for illest verse (its like Swagger Like Us all over again lol...which is kinda funny because this drops JUST over a year to the date Swagger Like Us came out! A 3 day difference!). Okay, we'll set Wayne's verse to the side for now, but can we at least agree that Kanye is in last place?? Good.
Jay-Z - Venus Vs. Mars (Prod. By Timbaland)
I wonder how 50 feels about Jay pretty much ripping off his song Get It In??
Anyway, I feel like at 39 and after catalog he's put together, Jay-Z shouldn't be making sophomoric bullshit songs like this. I mean seriously, he's been working on songs for this album for damn near 2 years and you're telling me this was in the top 15?? Outside of the last verse, this song was a doo-doo smoothe. Okay, that was a bit harsh because its not a terrible song, I just don't wanna hear it on my supposed-to-be classic BP3!
The disappointment for Blueprint 3 is officially back on.
Hov Covers October XXL
And to answer their question, yes, Jay-Z IS bigger than Hip-Hop and its not even up for discussion.
Mark Sanchez Named Starter In New York
Now I think the concern should shift to what the hell the Jets would do if Leon Washington got her because from what I saw he's all they have.

R.I.P. Ted Kennedy
Very sad news. The last of the Kennedy men is dead and gone now. It really is the end of an era, but you know the craziest part?? I heard from 2 girls last night who actually had to ask me who he was! Now, these weren't 10 year-olds either, we're talking about high grads who had no idea Teddy even existed. That's just crazy!
Anyway, Ted's charm and leadership will definitely be missed. If not for him coming out in support of President Obama, but he doesn't beat Hillary and get the chance to run and win the presidency. I just thank him for all the good he's done. R.I.P.

Random News Shit
The first time I looked at that headline I thought it said "five years in prison." It is only probation though, so good thing for Chrissy. I wish they really did give his ass 5 years in prison after he walked in the court room with Charlie Brown's shirt design on the side of his head. Seriously though, what's up with that??

Random News Shit: Current News Edition
1) Michael Jackson's Death Ruled A Homicide
Uh-oh! Its about to get even uglier for that doctor in a quick second. Its a damn shame he had to be black but oh well, tough break nigga.
Anyway, am I the only one who thinks it still feels weird that Michael Jackson is dead?? Seriously though, I know he wasn't doing much this past decade and that he wasn't gonna live forever but damn, its freakin' Michael Jackson! That doctor needs to know he's going down.
Random News Shit: Shit I Never Spoke On Because I Was Too Busy Playing Madden Edition
1) Gender Test Requested For Runner Caster Semenya
Now y'all know good and got damn well that's a man! Let me prove my case:
Exhibit A: "Her" dude body. (This bitch mo' swoll than T.O.)
Exhibit B: "Her" dude voice. (When I was watching this video with my eyes closed, you're telling me that wasn't Dikembe Mutombo answering the questions??)
Exhibit C: "Her" dude name. (I can't find one baby name site that says Caster, Castor, or Kaster isn't a dude'd name.)
Exhibit D-Z: "Her" father not sounding confident "she's" a girl. ("I raised her and I have never doubted her gender." If you had a kid and this popped up wouldn't you come off more confident about its gender?? He never doubted?? That should've been more like "Bitch are you crazy?? I cleaned her masculine vag everyday for 5 years!")
Jay-Z - Reminder (Prod. By Timbaland)
And that concludes the Timbaland portion of the album lol. Hov absolutely destroys this track! I can't co-sign that hook or whoever that is singing it though (not surprised her name wasn't included in the tracklisting). I loved it though and shots to my homie Joel for giving me the heads up right after I got home from work lol.
Run This Town (Official Directors' Commentary)
"Is it bad if Memphis Bleek does rap to push a Rav4?" LMAO!!! So many funny jokes on here but that was the one! These guys come through again!
Raekwon - House Of Flying Daggers (feat. Inspectah Deck, GZA, Ghostface, & Method Man) Video
I can't lie, I never really liked the song (mainly because of the beat), but this video is gangsta ass fuck! This dude 1000Styles went in on the art work! I gotta learn how to do that shit. Make me a Fiyah style or something lol.
Asher Roth - She Don't Want A Man (feat. Keri Hilson) Video
I'm probably just fuckin' up but I never connected the dots and had no idea that was Keri Hilson on the hook. Well, I can't say I had NO idea because I think I read it somewhere at one point, but it doesn't sound like her to me. It sounds more like "Track 13 Girl" aka Dina Rae from Eminem's first 3 albums to me.
Anyway, I always liked this song, though it never got great reviews overall. I guess that's why I'm me and they are... well, them.
Beanie Sigel - In The Ghetto
Okay, who was that on the hook?? That nigga sounds awful lol.
Anyway, this shit is dope and evidently Sigel has something dropping on Sept. 1st. That's news to me, but its very welcomed news. I'm assuming its the album we saw the cover for either in June or July. I know it'll be hot so I'm fuckin' with it.

Jay-Z - Off That (feat. Drake) (Prod. By Timbaland)
You know, I was actually a bit afraid to play this song once I saw it was out because all I was reading was poor reviews. I was prepared for disappointment. Then this sick beat drops, Hov starts ripping his verses up, and Drake kills the hook and I realized something I honestly forgot during my evening nap: Most niggas on the internet (which is pretty much everybody) don't know what the fuck they're talking about 7 times out of 10. For real though, what is wrong with this song?? You can't say the beat isn't hot because it is. You can't the hook is hot because it is. You definitely can't say Hov wasn't going in on the verses because he was. So what's the problem?? Are y'all that attached to your chains and rims that you're mad that he made a song saying it was over?? Are y'all mad because y'all still making it rain and he offed that?? Stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Cowboys Open Up New Stadium With A Win
Tony Romo and the first team offense played the entire first half in the first football game in Cowboy Stadium and looked crisp while doing so. Romo was 18/24 for 192 yards and looks poised for a big season. They definitely don't seem as explosive as they did a year ago, but there are so many weapons that you kinda have to spread the wealth around some. You have Barber, Witten, Felix, Roy, Crayton, Hurd, Austin, Bennett, just so many weapons. I was very pleased with how the first team offense looked, especially in the 2 minute drill. I could only imagine how much more dominant we'd look if T.O. was still on the roster.
Drake, I Hope You're Taking Notes
Anyway, at the end of the day Omarion is no longer on Young Money and you know who that benefits the most?? That's right, Omarion! We all know Cash Money/Young Money don't release albums, its documented, so there's no question that O's project was already on the shelf indefinitely (if it was even there, that shit may have still been on the conveyor belt lol). If all he had to do was allegedly leak a mediocre to terrible song with Lil Wayne to get released then why doesn't everyone on the label with a shelved project (which is coincidentally everyone on the label) do the same??
Ocho Kicks!
THIS is what the preseason is all about! Trying out new shit and seeing what works. With kicker Shayne Graham out with a groin injury, the artist formerly known as Chad Johnson took over some of the kicking duties. He nailed a PAT right through the uprights and them kicked off and got the ball inside the 10!
Also, you may or may not have heard at the end of the video, Chad is considering another name change and this time it would be to "Esteban Ochocinco" in honor of his favorite sport, soccer. I applaud it and totally welcome it! I absolutely LOVE that this guy has found a way to have fun in the beyond the NFL's jurisdiction. There's simply nothing better lol.

Jay-Z - Run This Town (feat. Rihanna & Kanye West) Video
Alllllright.
First things first, who was the nigga that threw the molotov cocktail at about 30 seconds in?? That was the girliest throw up all time! Looks like that bottle was too heavy for him or something. He would've been better off throwing it like one of the college Softball pitchers lol.
Anyway, I don't really get the point of the video. I was hoping to see them run up in the mayors office at least, but that never happened. They just kinda rallied the troops and that was it. Not good enough if you ask me. Of course, sadly, no one asked me :-(.
Jamie Foxx - Digital Girl (Remix) (feat. Drake, The-Dream & Kanye West) Video
Damn, Ryan Leslie ripped that first verse, ain't it?? Wait, that wasn't Ryan Leslie? That was Drake?? What?? Nigga you jivin'!
In all seriousness though Drake absolutely murdered his verse (which I believe I stated somewhere at some point) and actually does Kanye better than Kanye on this one. Granted he got to write his verse months after Kanye wrote his, he still took Ye's style and kill it in such a way that I can't even be mad at him for it.
Plax Pleas Guilty, Gets 2 Years Up North
On the other hand, REPORTS surfaced back in May that Plax's lawyers had worked out a plea bargain for 3 months jail time that would have actually ended up being 2 months with 1,500 hours of community service. According to those same REPORTS, Plax turned that deal down because he was "deathly" afraid of going to prison.
Thursday Billboard Update - 8/20/09
Last week I said Jay-Z was out to prove people wrong (including myself) about the strength of Run This Town and this week he does just that by soaring 63 spots to land at #3 in this just its 3rd week on the charts. This couldn't have come at a better time as the video for Run This Town leaked late last night and it will officially premiere on MTV tonight at 8pm. "What's up?" Just above Hov is Miley Cyrus' Party In The U.S.A. debuting at #2. Fire Burning and Boom Boom Pow are the 2 records that had to die to make this all possible.

Run This Town Video To Premiere Tomorrow
The video is already out now, but some asshole put a huge ass watermark across it so I'll post it when there's a good, non-wack website wateremarked version out.
MTV will be the exclusive on-air and online outlet for the premiere of the new JAY-Z music video "Run This Town" with Rihanna | Kanye West. The video will debut on Thursday, August 20th at 8pm EST. "Run This Town" is the second video from the multi-award-winning rapper's highly-anticipated album The Blueprint 3, which releases on September 11th, 2009. Via Roc4Life.com
So there you have it, tomorrow at 8. Be there!
Hood State Of The Union Ep. 3: The Light Skin Awards
Dammit, why didn't I think of this?? Awww man back to the drawing board! Fuck it, I'm still gonna contribute to this shit regardless.
The "Most Should-Be-Unnecessary Reaches for Attention by a Light Skin Person" goes to.... Cassie for her half shaved head and leaked naked pictures attempts. Come up and get your award girl!
The "Worst Possible Shirt Worn In an Apology by a Light Skin Person" goes to... Chris Brown for his orange Bobby Brown/Iron Chef/Underarmor with buttons shirt. I hope you burned that shit nigga.
The "Worst Possible Face To Be Put On a Light Skin Person" goes to... Sam Cassell for his uncanny ability to look sub-human and scare child for nearly 20 years.
The "Most Unnecessary Mismanagement of Light Skin by a Fine Chick Who Should Be Finer" goes to... Amber Rose for being bald when she'd be at least 45-50% hotter if she just had some damn hair.
The "Most Swollest Arms On a Light Skin Chick" goes to... Hoopz for having them full sized midget arms. Nigga you know them midgets be musclebound, don't front, well Hoopz has those kinda arms. And yes, I made up the word swollest fuck y'all lol.
Feel free to add on.
Black Eyed Peas' Streak Tops Usher's Record
The string of 20 weeks bests Usher's previous record of 19 set in 2004 with Yeah! and Burn. If anything I say it just goes to show how hard the quality of music has fallen in 5 short years.

The Invention of Lying Trailer
Looks good. I hope Jonah Hill is actually in the movie more than the trailer shows though because he's the only reason I even knew this movie existed lol. Anyway, it'll be in theaters next month on the 25th so look to see a few commercial spots coming up in a couple weeks.

The Final Blueprint 3 Tracklisting, A Disappointment Waiting To Happen??
The Weakest Confirmation Of All Time
"Lauren London, she fine," Los Angeles Power 106 jock Fuzzy said to Wayne. "She very pregnant with your baby."
To which Wayne responded, "Very pregnant, yes." Via MTV.com
That's it?? That doesn't confirm shit. I mean dude didn't even ask, he made a damn statement. Then Wayne didn't say it was his, he just said she was "very pregnant." And yes, I'm probably reaching on some Dhalsim shit right now, but they are too by trying to use this as a confirmation. Don't get me wrong, I do believe she's pregnant with his baby, but not because I read this alleged confirmation.
Oh, and Lauren London lost.
Vikes Already Have Favre In Pads
Training Day Parody Starring Common & McLovin
This is a tough one for me. On one hand it had a couple funny elements, and on the other hand it should've been A LOT funnier. I mean this shit is really bordering on being completely wack and its only saving grace is the fact that Fogell is playing Alonzo. That's it. At one point I was wondering if it was even meant to be funny. That's never good for a parody or comedy skit in general.
Surprise: Favre Signs With Vikings
Now, does Brett make the Vikings a better team?? Not neccessarily. I mean in essence he's better than Tavaris and Sage BUT he is 40 and how many successful 40 year-old QBs do you know of?? Exxxxxactly!
Ace Hood - Born An OG (feat. Ludacris) Video
being an OG and drinking NUVO (clearly a drink for females) doesn't really go together, but I'll give Ace a pass because this track is such a beast! Shouts to Ace, he took all those "#uknowuAceHood" Twitter attacks like a man lol.
R. Kelly - Number One (feat. Keri Hilson) Video
First off, Kellz, lose that damn ugly ass fade. I don't know if its just because we're not used to seeing him with a fade (he always had braids, a 'fro, or was bald) or because it was just a bad fade but I thought he was Mike Jones when they video started. And am I the only one that gets kinda annoyed when Keri Hilson does the whole "Ms. Keri babe-bay" thing?? I mean it was cute at first, but now I'm kinda sick of hearing it. On another Keri note though, she might have the nicest small breasts in the history of titties!

Somebody's Gonna Get Pregnant: Keri Hilson Gets Complex
Drake - The Mess Is On Ya Ass
LMAO!! Affion is fuckin' crazy! At first I thought the funniest part about the video was that Drake tape he had painted on his forehead, but then he kicks it up a notch when he does the Drake skip and fall towards the end. Then he kicks it up ANOTHER notch when he does the Lil Wayne Every Girl remix too! This video is a classic.
