Justin Bieber - Runaway Love (Remix) (feat. Kanye West & Raekwon)
I can say with confidence that I never thought I'd hear a collaboration with Justin Bieber and Raekwon. I ain't mad at Rae for it either.
As far as the song goes, it's pretty damn hot. Of course the Bieber portions are excruciating to listen to, but Rae and Kanye ripped their verses. I'm down with this shit, though I probably won't bump it unless theirs a Bieber-less verse on the horizon.

1) 'Takers' Claims #1 Spot at the Box Office
When the numbers were first released, "Takers" was #2 to "The Last Exorcism" by about $300,000, but when the true numbers came out "Takers" was actually on top by about $150,000. Either way, in my mind, "Takers" was #1 regardless because it and "The Last Exorcism" made basically the same amount of money despite being shown in 668 less theaters nationwide. Per theater, "Takers" killed them.
And with that being said, I have no interest in seeing this movie. No real reason, just not interested.
2) Another Drake Album In 2010?
Slow down guys. It was a miracle that Drake's first album dropped at all, so let's not get our hopes up that the least album dropping label on Earth is gonna clean up its act and give us 2 in 1 year. It ain't happening. Cash Money, how about y'all focus on getting Nicki Minaj's album out this year and leave everything else alone?? Baby steps fellas.
3) Jay-Z & Yankees Team For Exclusive Apparel
And just when you thought Jay-Z had run out of ideas to make more money, BOOM! This apparel will ONLY be sold at Yankees Stadium and only through Sept. 14th. It's a damn shame I don't have family in New York anymore. Hmmm, my ex-girlfriend did tell me she's going to New York next week, though. I wonder if she'd grant me one last wish?? Fingers crossed.
Take a look at some of the goods courtesy of RapRadar. Some of that stuff would go great with the Hov "All Black Everything" Forces I don't own.
4) Full 'Dancing With The Stars' Cast Announced
Last week I told you The Situation was gonna be on the show (though I still wish it was gonna be Snooki), but here's a quick rundown of the rest of the cast:
Brandy Norwood, David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Grey, Kurt Warner, Margaret Cho, Kyle Massey, Audrina Patridge, Rick Fox, Florence Henderson, Bristol Palin and Michael Bolton.
Man, where's the Erin Andrews and Nicole Schegudgthzyrs?? What is DWTS without the hot ass??
5) Trick Daddy Working On 'www.thug.com 2'
The original 1998 classic still goes hard so thing is welcomed news. Hopefully this will help him get his mojo back, though his last album Finally Famous was pretty good. Unfortunately, there's no release date yet.
6) Ruff Ryders Records Is Now Ruff Ryders Indy
Look guys, it's over. The Ruff Ryder brand is gone, and it's never coming back. Never. Ever.
If they wanted to launch a new label, why didn't they just do it with a whole new name?? It's time to move on.
Random News Shit: Urban SportsCenter Edition
I'll be honest, I didn't really give a shit about this story. If I had, I would've wrote about it Sunday. Even though I never believe anyone when they say their Twitter got hacked after they post come wild shit, I didn't think it was a big deal because it was just a random tweet...then I found out he actually TwitPic'd the $5,000!
What the fuck dude, how idiotic can you be?? I know you're unhappy about still being in Denver when your boys from the '03 draft took their talents to South Beach, but c'mon son! Melo, you're too big for this shit. If you didn't do nothing with Kat Stacks, just ignore the bitch. Done and done. Idiot.
2) Manny Ramirez Set To Join White Sox
Well good for Manny. Thank goodness I didn't drop dollars on that Dodgers jersey back in 2008.
Oh, and Manny definitely is NOT cutting his hair, sorry White Sox.
3) Chris Bosh Gets Engaged
Uhhh, aight then. You sure you wanna do this Chris, you know you're gonna be in Miami for at least the next 5 years, right?? Aight then playa, more power to ya. I guess we'll see you on season 5 of "Basketball Wives."
4) Troy Polamalu's Hair Insured For $1M By Head and Shoulders
Wow. That's it, just wow. All them niggas in the league with dreads must be pissed. I wonder how much Head and Shoulders will insure Tom Brady's golden locks for if he agrees to not cut his hair either?? You know their thinking about it.
5) Shaun Rogers Fined For Gun Charge
The fine was $300,000, but that worked out awesome because he's 1) not gonna see any jailtime and 2) isn't going to be suspended by the NFL. Good deal.
6) Ocho Cinco Fined 25K For Tweeting During Game
I forgot to talk about this last week, but how retarded and petty is this shit?? Seriously, $25,000 for tweeting during a preseason game that he wasn't even in anymore?? Should he have been tweeting during the game?? No, but exactly is the harm done by this, and is it $25,000 worth of harm?? Hell no! Stop being petty, NFL.

Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition
B.S.! There is no way Donovan is not gonna play in that game versus the Cowboys. I wish he wasn't playing, but there's just no chance he misses the opener. The ankle isn't never seemed to be that serious. I mean, the dude had on an air cast last week. Not a boot, AN AIR CAST! Besides that, the game isn't for 2 more weeks, he'll be fine. Don't try to pull the sheet over our head Shanahan, take this opening night ass whuppin' like a man! lol.
2) Bengals Cut Antonio Bryant; Owe Him $8 Million
Looks like the CowBengals are down one ex-Boy, but this had to be done. They knew it, I knew it, you knew it. The guy has a bad knee and he only practiced with the team once, which makes it all the more curious they picked him over T.O. in the first place.
Oh well, their receiving corp is full anyway with Ocho Cinco, T.O., Matt Jones, and Jordan Shipley. And you can't forget rookie TE Jermaine Gresham, that kid is a player. We'll see if Carson Palmer can get them all the ball, but that's the biggest concern to me because I'm not sure he can anymore.
3) Ben Roethlisberger, Roger Goodell To Meet Friday
I'm assuming this meeting is to make the final decision on whether Ben's suspension will be 4 or 6 games. I'm sure it'll be 4, but I guess we shall see.
4) Jets' Calvin Pace Breaks Foot; Ravens' Stallworth Does As Well
Tough breaks for both team (literally), but even tougher for the Jets. Stallworth isn't even a starter, so he's replaceable, but the Jets are probably going to have to bring a new player into camp to replace Pace. This ESPN article says that guy will be Adalius Thomas, so we shall see.
5) Laveranues Coles Cut By Jets
Nigga retire! It's over.
Kanye West & Jay-Z - Monster (feat. Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Ivor)
Why was Rick Ross on this song?? He literally brought 0 to the table. Kanye's verse was good, Jay-Z's verse was superior (as usual), and Nicki Minaj's verse was dope...well, for a Nicki Minaj verse. The beat was AIGHT, Nothing to write home about. I don't know, I'm just not feeling this song. It's straight, but just doesn't move me. Oh well, I still want that Watch The Throne ASAP!
August 27, 2010
Drake & Nicki Minaj Married??
Look, they're obviously no Jay-Z and Beyonce, but this will do both of their careers good. Well, if it's true, that is.
(Side note: Do you think hearing this news makes Lil Wayne want to hurry up and get free so he can move to California and make an honest man out of Baby?? Just asking.)
**UPDATE**
Nope, they are indeed NOT married. Shocker.

Maroon 5 - Give A Little More
I. Fuckin'. Love. This. SONG! Misery was good, but this song is GREAT! Case and point, I've been listening to it on repeat for AT LEAST an hour now. I'm about to get back to jammin' now, so I'm gonna cut this one short. Check the guys out performing their new track after the jump.

Thursday Billboard Update - 8/26/10
Finally, some action on the Hot 100! Eminem's Love The Way You Lie with Rihanna is still #1, but we also have 3 new tracks in the top 10. The first of those tracks is Lil Wayne's Right Above It featuring Drake, which debuts at #6. The next is Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are at #9, up from #16, and the last is B.o.B's Magic at #10, up 1 spots from #11.
The Billboard 200 1-10
first week debuts in bold

10. John Mellencamp - No Better Than This (10)
- Dondria's debut album Dondria Vs. Phatfffat opens at #50 this week with just 8,300. No need wondering if there will be a 2nd album... there won't. I blame JD because he signed her in 2008 when she was kinda hot and is put her album out in 2010 after 100 other internet sensations have popped off. That's like American Idol waiting 2 years to drop the winner's album. The moment is over and there's 2 other Idol champs around. It's a lose, lose situation.

Chippy D Vs. Brian Pumper...Fully Clothed!
Okay, so the chippy one went at Brian Pumper the other day saying she never signed a release to be in his "Phattys Rhymes & Dimes 14" and blah blah blah. Well B. Pumper has stuck back!
I'm glad we're talking about this now because I was confused by this whole thing myself. The first time we saw Montana talking about doing porn she was with Brian. Then a totally different porno comes out (I'm assuming because I've never watched it) not starring Brian Pumper. Then once "Phattys Rhymes & Dimes 14" dropped it was apparent she did multiple flicks.
See, I thought his PRD14 was gonna be her big porn debut and that's where the confusion starts. Oh well, whatever, I admit I really wasn't interested in seeing either porno because she's not that attractive to me, so that's most likely the source of my confusion.
Anyway, I totally believe B. Pumper here, I mean, the lost bitch even talked about being in PRD14 in that first video interview. What an idiot. And you know I'll be patiently waiting for that Bitch You Signed On The Dotted Line lol.
Soulja Boy Gets Kat Stacks'd
My disdain for Soulja Boy has been well documented on this very site dating back to 2007. And even with all of that, when I heard Kat Stacks made a video about me, I was set to come to his defense. Unfortunately for the boy named Soulja, this video is indefensible. (Here's a close up of the direct messages on Twitter if you couldn't read them.)
Judging solely by the music this guy makes, we can't expect him to have much sense, but damn. This nigga got the bitch up in the bed cakin' and snorting lines and shit. And not just any bitch, Kat Stacks...bitch! Did he think he was immune to getting "the treatment" from Kat??
You know what?? Yes, I do think he thought that. In all honesty, I think Soulja Boy had a crush on her, thought she liked him back, and thought they were falling in love and he was about to change her hoin' ways (I guess he didn't read my post on her not only being a ho, but also having mental disabilities). Think about it, the dude is still only 20 years-old. We all know young niggas are susceptible to falling too hard for a bitch, especially a guy who pretty much missed all those high school years where guys fall too hard for the wrong girl. So instead of him falling for a chick, who doesn't like him back, at 16 or 17, he did it at 20.
You give me one other explanation that makes more sense then that. I'll wait. Matter of fact, no I won't, because you can't. There's no other explanation for why he felt comfortable enough around her where he'd fly her out first class, put her in a nice hotel room (that he stayed in with the bitch), slept with her, showered around her, and even exposed his cocaine habit to her. (And, no, we didn't actually see him snorting the lines, but if you found out the creator of such foolishness as Pretty Boy Swag and Goku had an affinity with coke, you wouldn't believe it??) Let's just face it, he fell for the bitch.
(Side note: Fabolous making that #StupidBoySwag TT last night was hilarious!)

This Week In Flops 8/24/10
THE PUBLICITY STUNT AIN'T GONNA WORK.
Nice attempt to avoid Flop City, but yeah, 40-80k.
Cee-Lo Green - Fuck You!
I know this song is getting a lot of flak for the profanity, but there's no denying the fact that this song is absolutely incredible! There's no doubt in my mind that even Southern Christians will be singing this one in private. I could see Fuck You! either becoming super successful, or being hindered by it's title. It'll be interesting to hear how Lo cleans it up for the radio. Either way, I love it!
I'm not the only one who loves it, 50 loves it so much he went ahead and dropped a verse on it over the weekend. Check it out.
Hot! 50 ripped this. Hmmm, maybe 50 should call Lo up and try to get him in the studio?? It's a thought.
Lupe Fiasco - Go To Sleep
I like it. Was it the most incredible thing I've ever heard?? No, but it sounds good, and I'm sure it'll sound even better within the rest of the album. That is all for now.
The Situation To Earn $5 Million In 2010??
This totally makes sense though, season 2 of "Jersey Shore" is easily drawing 5 million-plus viewers on Thursday night (and that doesn't even account for all the people who watch it when it's replayed 50 times during the week), and The Situation is everywhere.
I'm glad he's gonna do that workout DVD too because I was watching one of those infomercials a few months back and thought, 'Why wouldn't one of these companies just pay Sitch to pimp their workout equipment instead of some MMA fighter people may or may not know?' Again, it makes sense.
I wonder how much Snooki and Pauly D are bringing in?? Sitch is the clear #1 earner, but I'm positive Snooki is #2 and Pauly is #3. After that, I'm really not sure, but I definitely think Ronnie came into season 2 with a purpose. As Bill Simmons and Dave Jacoby discussed last week, Ronnie is the season 2 MVP so far, and it's likely because he really missed an opportunity in season 1 by staying home a lot of nights and being with Sammi. Only time will tell if he'll see an increase in notoriety because of it.
In other Situation news, it looks like he's gonna be headlining the season 11 cast of "Dancing With The Stars." I was pretty sure the Ocho Cinco and Nicole Szjghahhihyakeger season was the only one I'd ever watch, but there's no chance I'm missing The Situation. I would've loved to see Ronnie join too, because he's by far the most entertaining dancer of the group, but I think everyone would agree that Snooki is the Jersey Shorer we'd most want to see on DWTS. No question. NO QUESTION!
Random News Shit: Hip-Hop Headlines Edition
So Kanye is gonna be dropping new tracks every Friday until Christmas?? That's 18 tracks worth of Fridays! This is great news. Hopefully he doesn't leak too many album tracks because I don't want the experience to be ruined (I've spoke on this before, but I hate hearing albums when I've already heard 70% of it through leaks). It looks like Kanye can use Twitter for good after all.
2) Eminem To Perform At VMAs
This decision to watch the Cowboys game or watch the VMAs is getting harder and harder with each passing day. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) Diddy Denies Doing Former Artists Dirty
First off, why is Cassie on the cover?? She does know her music career is over, right??
Anyway, Diddy does kinda have a point here. Rappers lifespans are generally short, BUT most of those labels he named either don't even exist anymore or are not relevant anymore. Even still, those labels launched major artists who went on to do major things, and it always seems like former Bad Boy artists just completely disappear. That's the real problem. Bad Boy is short on Kanye Wests, and Eves, and Rihannas, and long on G. Deps, Black Robs, and Shynes.
So no, I don't think Diddy is a crook or anything, but would I sign with Bad Boy?? Hell FUCK no lol.
4) T.I. Prepping Animated Series, 'Lil Homies'
Welp, maybe T.I. will be the first rapper to successfully pull this off, because as far as I know, Andre 3000 and David Banner's cartoon shows are no longer on the air. I guess will have to wait and see.
How funny would it be if Tip was shopping "Lil Homies" to Nick Jr.?? That'd be classic.
5) Lil Boosie Releasing New Album From Prison
And but of course the new album is entitled Incarcerated. The album is due out September 28th, and if his legal shit goes how it's expected this won't be his last album released from behind bars.
Tiger & Elin Officially Divorced
Seriously though, is it just me, or did this seem to happen really fast?? I could be wrong, but wasn't Tiger just in rehab and trying to work things out in like February or March?? Oh well, you can't blame Elin, she's about her paper more than a lot these lying ass rappers.
I posed this question yesterday or Twitter, but when Elin found out Tiger was cheating, did she try tears of joy or tears of sorrow?? I say tears of joy because, honestly, what could she have done in her life to ever heard $100+ million besides having Tiger's babies and then divorcing him??
(Side note: Somebody should be trying to get that Rick Ross Tears Of Joy beat and make an Elin parody. That'd be hilarious! You're welcome in advance.)
Well anyway, good for Tiger. Now he can put this chapter in his life behind him and move on. It'll be interesting to see if golf will ever mean as much to him as it once did now. Hopefully it will and he'll get back to winning in 2011.

Random News Shit: All Over The Place Edition
1) Wyclef's Presidential Bid Denied
And just like that, it's all over. Doesn't it seem like having to have lived in Haiti for 5 years is something Clef should've known before announcing his candidacy?? I mean, we we're taught the requirements to run for the U.S. presidency in like 3rd grade, so you'd think Wyclef or his reps would've researched the requirements to be president of Haiti at some point before saying he's running.
Oh well, I hope you're happy Sean Penn and Pras!
2) DJ Khaled Signs With Cash Money
My first thought upon hearing this news: poor Ace Hood. I mean, it's not like his career was really taking off or anything, but now it really won't now that he's left stranded on Def Jam. Who's gonna convince L.A. Reid Ace should have another opportunity to drop a new album that won't sell now?? Y'all probably think I'm joking but I'm serious, I really feel bad for the guy.
At the end of the day, this is good news for DJ Khaled haters. We all know Cash Money isn't in the business of dropping non-Lil Wayne or Birdman albums, so We The Best Forever may never happen. Or just never get released.
3) Delonte West Suspended 10 Games By The NBA
Times are hard for ya boy Delonte. First he got arrested on gun charges, then he destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers and made LeBron take his talents to South Beach, then he got traded to the T'Wolves, then waived a few days later, and now he gets a 10 game suspension by the NBA. Looks like good news only came through Gloria James' vagina once. Rim shot!
4) Twista Announces Release Date For Perfect Storm
The date is October 26th. My level of caring is 0.
I still got love for Twista, but if his most hardcore fan would have to admit he's fallen off. I thought Slow Jams and Overnight Celebrity were good for him, but in actuality its completely derailed his career into a pool of wannabe pop records. The Day After was still pretty good, but Adrenaline Rush 2007 was a disgrace, and Category F5 was just aight. Bring the real Twista back and then maybe I'll get interested.
5) Around The Horn's Jay Mariotti Arrested For Domestic Violence
Jay was arrested in L.A. for domestic violence last night at 4:30am which begs the question: what is it about L.A. that makes people wanna beat bitches up?? First Chris Brown, and now Jay Mariotti. Sad, sad.
Welp, whether Jay beat up his wife, or some hooker he met, it's still not worse than former ESPN Football Today podcast host Jeremy Green. I never wrote about it, but JG was arrested for possession of child pornography and narcotics back in July.

Rudy Moise For Congress Music Video
I initially heard the radio commercial version of this on 99 Jamz this morning, and the first thing i thought about was when Will "authorized a few last minute changes" on Uncle Phil's campaign commercial.
I pray Rudy Moise had nothing to do with this.
Drake - Miss Me (feat. Lil Wayne) Video
Pretty good video, but does anybody fit in less with their crew than Drake does with Cash Money?? It could be argued that Vanessa Carlton fit in more with Murder Inc. than Drake does with CMR. I'm just saying. Still a good video though.
Kanye West - Power (Remix) (feat. Jay-Z) (Prod. by Kanye West & Swizz Beatz)
Man, Swizz straight freaked that Snap! The Power mix! I wish they would've brought it in earlier though, I mean, what's the point of having Kanye spit 2 verses over the original Power beat when you have that beast in your back pocket?? It should have flipped at least after the 2nd verse. Oh well, I'm just glad it came because before Swizz dropped that beat the remix was a tad lackluster, even with that cold Jay-Z verse. Good stuff Kanye, good stuff!
Mood Muzik 4 Teaser
More of a trailer than a teaser, but you get the point. Are you in that mood yet?? Well go pre-order the mixtape!

Random News Shit: Entertainment Edition
1) Chelsea Handler To Host 2010 VMAs
Well it's about time they picked a host, I was beginning to think they were just gonna go without one after consecutive bombs by Russell Brand. I'm not mad at the selection of Chelsea, she's quite funny, but with this little time to prepare (unless this has been planned for months and they're just announcing it now) I'm not sure she'll be able to top what Aziz Ansari did at the MTV Movie Awards.
I have a bigger issue with the VMAs though, because not only does it air the same day as the NFL kickoff, but it's gonna be on AT THE SAME TIME AS THE COWBOYS GAME! What the fuck MTV?? Now I have to make a decision: watch my Cowboys open up the season in primetime at Redskins Park or watch the VMAs??
This also happened to me in 2007 when the Cowboys opened up the against the Giants in primetime and the VMAs were live from Las Vegas. It's partly the NFL's fault for scheduling the Cowboys there as well, but the VMAs shouldn't be going up against NFL's big time opening day. What ever happened to having the VMAs on Thursdays?? Either way, I'm pissed because of course I wanna watch my 'Boys, but at the same time, I wanna watch the VMAs and make jokes on Twitter like on all the rest of the award shows. I don't know, we'll see how it goes, I guess.
2) Wyclef In Hiding After Receiving Death Threats
I never weighed in on this whole Wyclef/president of Haiti business, but the shocking part of this story, to me, is that Haiti's presidential election is in November. I was thinking their election was in 2011 or something. I was just talking about short notice with Chelsea Handler and the VMAs but shit! Clef JUST announced he was running a couple weeks ago, now he has to put his whole campaign and stuff together for an election in 3 months?? I know Haiti is far from the U.S., but damn.
I'm not saying Clef running is a good or bad thing, I'm just saying there should probably be a cut off date as to when someone can jump into a political race. Three months, son, three months! That's insane lol.
3) Shocker: Jay-Z Tops The Hip-Hop Cash Kings Again
Over the past 12 months, Forbes has estimated that Jay-Z has made a whopping $63 million. That's $33 million than #2, Diddy. And to make things even crazier, Beyonce made even more than Jay did! B brought in $87 million over the past year, making her the 3rd highest earning musicians overall. On that list, U2 ($130 million) is 1st and AC/DC ($114 million) is 2nd. Jay-Z is the only rapper on there, and he ranks 6th.
And exactly why does everybody want to be a rapper again??
4) Jersey Shore Introduces New Cast Member
Her name is Deena Nicole Cortese, and she'll be Angelina's replacement for "Jersey Shore" season 3. As you can see from the picture and video on MTV.com, she's not that hot, but then again, outside of Sammi, who is??
No word yet on what her Guido nickname is going to be.
5) Swizz Beatz Signs New Record Deal, Readies Album
Hopefully it's better than One Man Band Man.
6) Flo Rida Working On New Double Album
Clearly Flo Rida still hasn't gotten the memo that we don't even want one Flo Rida album, let alone two.
LeGarrette Blount: Still Punching
(Side note: If things don't work out for LeGarrette in the NFL, I got 3 letters for him: MMA.)

Real Or Fake: Ving Rhames Interview
No need to even discuss this one, this is 100,000% fake. Clearly it was just promo for that retarded new movie "Piranhas 3D," but this bit was poorly executed. They should've kept Ving talking about the white lady from MTV telling him to tone it down and the radio show host should've kept trying to get him to talk about the movie. Once Ving started talking about the movie himself, everything fell apart and it just became retarded. They get points for trying, but overall this wasn't very funny.
Chuck, Legend, & Scottie Weigh In On LeBron
Larry Bird and Scottie Pippen's opinions were fine to me, but Charles Barkley's still bothers me a bit. Look, we can all agree "The Decision" was a bad idea, but like Scottie said outside of that, it was his decision to leave Cleveland. I have no beef with anyone who said "The Decision" was dumb because it was, my problem is with people who are mad at him for leaving the Cavs, like Charles Barkley and that cunt Michelle Beadle from SportsNation. Get over it!

7.5 Wins For The 2010 Cowboys??
Now before all my Cowboys fan get all Mel Gibson-mad at Aaron Schatz and crew, just know this prediction is based on a bunch of statistics, formulas, and other who-ha I don't understand. No worries, Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas.com got FO's Bill Barnwell to explain it, and it's only fair we give them a shot, so click here to check it out.
Okay, checked it out enough?? Aight, let's proceed:
Bullshit! Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, oh yeah, and then there was some bullshit.
The #1 reason the Cowboys are going to win 7.5 games is because of injuries?? Really?? Now, I'm not saying there won't be injuries, it's football, of course there will be injuries, but how do you say one team is more likely to have injuries than another?? Is there a stat or formula for that?? If so, I'd LOVE to see it. Again, I'm not saying the Cowboys won't have injuries, but for that to be FO's #1 reason the they will be under .500 is just retarded.
The #2 reason is valid (though John Clayton said the same thing last year and it didn't effective us until the playoffs) so let's move on to #3: the Giants and Redskins will be better. No really, that was Bill's third reason, the Giants and Redskins will be better. And to think that I actually thought #1 was retarded.
Let's examine this further: the Cowboys will play the G-men and 'Skin 4 times this season. In 2009 the 'Boys went 2-2 against these 2 clubs (2 losses to the Giants, 2 wins against the Redskins), and let's just say in 2010 they split the 4 games again (Cowboys split 1-1 with both). You don't think the Cowboys can string together 7 or 8 more wins out of the remaining 12 games again to make the playoffs?? I know our schedule is tough, but I do. I mean, the 'Boy just did it last year.
Okay, now let's get even crazier and say the Cowboys lose all 4 games against the vastly improved Giants and Redskins. That would mean they Cowboys would have to win at least 9 of their remaining 12 games to finish over .500, and most likely 10 of the 12 to make the playoffs. That's a bit more unrealistic, but then again, isn't expecting the Cowboys to lose all 4 of these division games unrealistic as well?? That's what FO would need to happen to help out their argument of 7.5 wins for the Cowboys.
Besides all this, and in all seriousness, how much better are the Redskins going to be than they were last year?? They only won 4 games in 2009, so technically if they win 5 they're better, right?? Right. All I'm saying is let's wait and see with the Redskins. They have 3 old running backs and the #2 receiver on their depth chart is the 38 year-old Joey Galloway.
(Side note: Division records aren't everything anyway. If I'm not mistaken, the 2009 Jets went 2-4 in the AFC East and still finished over .500 and still made the playoffs. I'm just saying.)
The last part I wanted to talk about is at the bottom where they ask Bill what's the Cowboys' biggest weakness. Now I don't disagree that safety is our biggest weakness, but what's with saying DeSean Jackson will have a "field day against Dallas downfield at some point this year"?? Really, you mean like he did last season?? You know, when he had a "field day" stacking up 8 catches, 90 yards, and 1 touchdown...IN 3 GAMES! Yeah, we better beware of the guy who couldn't even get off when Ken Hamlin was back there.
I'm done!
Brian Pumper Gets Clowned
It's easy to roast Brian Pumper for his lack of talent as a rapper, but that other porno nigga and his weird looking boys started going at something near and dear to Pumper's heart – his jewelry. There's no doubt Brian has money because he's been doing porn since like 2002, but I wouldn't doubt those jewels are indeed fake. I mean, he wants to be a real rapper doesn't he?? Well these days real rappers usually have real fake jewelry, so maybe Brian just wanted to fit in with the Plies and Gucci Manes of the world? Makes sense to me. He did look like his feelings were hurt though.
Thursday Billboard Update - 8/12/10
After being beat out by Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare by 3,847 albums last week, Eminem's Recovery still can't recover the #1 spot being best by 4,006 by Arcade Fire's The Suburbs this week. Recovery moves 152,073 in its 7th week and The Suburbs sells 156,079 in its first. What a great problem to have if you're Eminem. I'm sure his double platinum status next week will make up for it. Recovery has sold 1,980,373 copies thus far.
Also, Bun B's Trill O.G. debuts at #4 with 40,530 sold.
Eminem and Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie retains the #1 spot over on the Hot 100 this week, but there's no telling how long that will last as Taylor Swift new single Mine debuts at #3 after only a few days of its release.

50 Cent Mel Gibsons Shyne
50 is a fuckin' fool lol. It's funny this happened now because I was just watching those 50 video when he was humiliating Rick Ross and listening to those awful Shyne tracks he released earlier this year.
Anyway, Def Jam deserves this for still having Shyne under contract. I mean, of course signing him seemed like a good idea at the time, but once they heard the flaming turds he was producing in the studio on their dime, they should've took the Pete Carroll route and released him soon after like he was LenDale White. I'm just saying.
Kanye West - See Me Now (feat. Beyonce & Charlie Wilson)
First off, this beat is extremely average. I don't see why it took Kanye, No I.D., AND Lex Luger to make this, but I guess that's why I'm not in the industry now. The hook is pretty decent, nothing to write home about, but it doesn't suck. I was actually kinda surprised Kanye got Beyonce to say nigga on it. I don't know, just seemed odd. And speaking of odd, what was with that high note from Charlie Wilson from 4:44-4:56?? It was absolutely dreadful.
All isn't bad though, Kanye completely rips this apart lyrically. The hardest line on the whole thing very well may be when Ye says, "I know the flow just hit a hellified vertical, this is the Christ year, last year was Magic, 32." I had to bring that one back.
Overall, See Me Now is just OK. Hopefully it's the last song on the album, because really, where else would it fit?? I liken it to Thank Me Now, the last track on Drake's album. Well wherever it ends up on the tracklist, one thing is for sure: it definitely was NOT worth the Twitter hype. Maybe it'll grow on me when I hear it in context with the rest of the album, but until then, it's really nothing special. Bottom line, he's gonna have to come much harder to loosen Teflon Don's grip on album of the year.
With any luck, this will be Lex Luger's only contribution to the album. Nothing against him, but I feel like if he did another track it'd probably sound a lot like this one (See: B.M.F. and MC Hammer by Ross, Rick).
(Side note: Why doesn't Kanye say "free Weezy"?? I'd like to see Wayne freed from his BS prison bid as well, but by the time the album drops Wayne will either be out or about to get out anyway.)
A Few Thoughts On The Darrelle Revis Situation
Anyway, it's so tough to pick a side in this whole mess when you have no dog in the race. If I was a Jets fan I'd want him on the field. If I was a Patriots/Dolphins/Bills/all the other teams the Jets play this year, I'd want him off the field and be his side.
Even though it's close, I think I'd side with the owners here. The first reason is that the man still has years left on his contract. It'd be one thing if he was gonna be a free agent at the end of the season, but he's not. He's still gonna be under contract with the Jets. Then what?? Hold out again??
The next reason I'd siding with the owner is because asking for Nnamdi Asomugha money is retarded. Al Davis is the only owner dumb enough to give a DB that kind of contract. Now do I think he should get close to it?? Sure I do, he's the best corner in the game right now. Will he?? I doubt it. The difference between Nnamdi's situation and Revis' is that Nnamdi actually played out his contract, Revis hasn't. Revis is only 4 years in, Nnamdi is 8, and he's JUST got that deal last year. I'm sorry to say it, but you're gonna have to put more work in than that. I could see if Revis was a running back like Chris Johnson and had a short NFL-life expectancy, but he could realistically play well into his mid-to-late 30's if he wanted to. That meaning he could get 2 or 3 more contracts on top of the one he's gonna sign eventually.
Finally, these holdout situation just never seem to end well for the players. Skip Bayless spoke on this yesterday morning on First Take, and it's true. It's like the football gods frown upon it or something. Whatever it is, it just always seems to fall bad on the player.
Whatever happens with this Revis holdout situation it's just more evidence that the Jets are pretenders and not contenders. How are you contenders and you can't even get your best defensive player to come to camp?? And that's not even to mention how they lucked into a playoff berth last year by virtue of the Colts and Bengals deciding to rest starters.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: '10 Jets = '08 Cowboys.

Young Jeezy Dissin' Rick Ross??
Huh?? Really?? I'm assuming Jeezy saying, "how you blowin' money fast, you don't know the crew? Oh, you part of the fam? Shit, I never knew," is the part people are saying is a diss to Rick, but I don't know about this one. I mean, that's pretty vague. I know Rick's B.M.F. stands for "blowing money fast," but that ain't strong enough to be considered a diss. Maybe a light jab, but not a diss. Naw, not even a light jab, more like a slight shoulder bump when 2 dudes are walking past each other.
Now here's my question, why is everybody thinking Death Before Dishonor is a diss and nobody said shit about B.M.F. (The Real Blowin' Money Fast)?? This is more of a slap in the face to Ricky than that. Check it out:
I'm just saying...
Mannie Fresh Playing New Beats For Mystikal!
WOOOOOOOO!!!!
As I've said many times on this very website, Mystikal was my favorite rapper long before Jay-Z was, so watching this got me SUPER hype! Just hearing that flow brings back great, great memories of me really starting to get into music. I mean, it was one thing for me to be into Kris Kross heavy (which I was as a kid) and me wanting to hear as much Hip-Hop as I could after hearing Mystikal's verse on Make 'Em Say Ugh when I was in 6th grade.
Clearly I'm happy he's home and I can't wait for him to start dropping some shit. Fingers crossed for Mannie solely lending beats and not hooks.
Kanye West's New Album Pushed To November
The good news is that his next single should be dropping later this month. Also, it's VMA season so I'm sure he'll be back to perform it there, most likely as he did on the 2008 VMAs when he wasn't actually in the building and only showed up to perform. The VMAs are on the 12th of September (a big day for me for another reason but we'll get into that later), so I pray he doesn't hold it until then, but I guess we shall see.

Real People, Fake Arms
This is from last week when Will Ferrell was on Jimmy Fallon's show promoting his new flick "The Other Guys," which debuted #1 at the box office this weekend. Welp, he honor of the great Will Ferrell enjoy another gem.
(Side note: Something tells me those arms weren't real.)
Antoine Dodson Extended Autotune Remix
Man, Antoine Dodson has blown up in a major way over the past week, ain't it?? He's the biggest thing on Auto-Tune The News, he has his own YouTube channel now, he has a website, a Zazzle page where he's selling merchandise, and so on and so on. I guess it's only fair to say he ran and told dat. Rimshot!

Tim Tebow's New Haircut
Unfortunately for the Cowboys rookie linemen, Tebow wasn't the only one who got a bad haircut recently. Check out Sam Young, Phil Costa, and Will Barker's new do's and then take a look at Mike Tepper's.
No wonder Dez Bryant wanted no parts of this bullshit.
Football Is Back!
Hopefully we can get at least 2 series out of the starters, but both teams have 5 preseason games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they only played one. It's all good though, I'm intrigued to see the backups and young guys play too. I'd be MUCH more excited about this game if Dez Bryant hadn't gotten hurt, but oh well, there's nothing we can do about that now.
Fingers crossed for no more major injuries.

Pimps Don't Cry feat. Cee-Lo Green & Eva Mendes
Well that was okay. I don't know it just seems like they burned a lot of calories making this video and the song isn't even all that funny. I mean, it's aight, but could've been much, much better.
(Side note: Don't mind me, my jealousy is doing the talking right now.)
Bring on Eva Mendes' sex tape!
Oh well, a man can still dream...
(Side note: What's up with Eva Mendes wanting her name to be pronounced "Ava" now?? I could be tripping, but it seems like it was always "Eva" and now I keep hearing her saying "Ava."
Wow, this was a pointless waste of a side note lol.)
Shea Davis - Pretty Thug Swag
I haven't posted anything by Shea Davis since June of 2008, but it's time. Oh yes, it is time! Check out my ninja Shea straight murderlizing Soulja Boy's Pretty Boy Swag.
So here's the question: which is worse, this or the original?? The battle of the suck is on!
Either/Or: Iller Celebration
Okay, so today we're pitting the Icelandic soccer team's "Going Fishing" goal celebration against the CFL player Dave Stala's "Foot Work" touchdown celebration. Let's do it.
This is just all kinds of awesome! They should be invited to the 2014 World Cup for their goal celebrations alone. And they're not new to this, they've made the highlight reel with their goal celebrations before.
Aight, now lets check out the competition.
Niiiiice! Most people can't do that with a round ball, let alone an oblong football. You gotta give that a 10.
So which is iller, the Icelandic team going fishing or the CFL player showing off his foot work??
Verdict: I'm gonna have to go with the Icelandic soccer team on this one. Dave's TD celebration was quite impressive, but the soccer team's was more creative and thus more ill. Close one, but yeah, I gotta go with the Iceland.
New Betty Butt-less Twerk Team
Yeah, it's definitely not the same without Betty there. Then again, I don't think it's so much better not being there as much as it's just a third girl not being there. They need to find a new girl to fill in while Betty is on maternity leave.
There's another even more powerful video after the jump. You'll enjoy it better, I promise.

Janelle Monae - Cold War Video
Has anybody made the crying Indian commercial joke yet?? Are you sure? Because all I was gonna say is...
You know what? Nevermind.
I love Janelle Monae, so no joke will be made...for now. Cue the dramatic music!
Kanye West - Power Video
Only Kanye could make this video.
And yes, that's all I have to say, a half of a video doesn't get a full review.
Eminem - Love The Way You Lie (feat. Rihanna) Video
Remember when Megan Fox was hot?? Man, what happened?? Oh well, sweet video regardles. Somebody needs to teach me how to do that "person on fire" effect, I could really make good use of that knowledge.
