MSNBC Suspends Mark Halperin For Calling Obama A Dick
And really, it happened on "Morning Joe," who exactly did he offend with his statement? You think kids are tuning into "Morning Joe" now that they're out of school? (I doubt it, but even if they were, I think "dick" is about the tamest thing you could hear out of a kid's mouth these days.) Actually, the majority of us (definitely including myself) wouldn't have even known it happened if he wasn't suspended. Besides, isn't it somebody's job to have the bleep button ready? If this were the BET Awards, this whole sentence would've been bleeped just 'cause.
Then again, MSNBC once upon a time suspended their most popular personality, Keith Olbermann, for well, being Keith Olbermann. It's too bad Mark doesn't work for Fox News because he'd definitely be in line for a promotion.

INN: Turn Right USA Makes The Most Racist Ever
I'm not quick draw on the Race Card, but gotdamn. Part of me feels like this is an elaborate joke that is working, and the other part of me feels embarrassed. (Okay, I won't lie, a small part of me is disappointed they didn't get a white girl with rhythm and some ass (shots) to play the stripper.) But that's not the point!
Well hopefully it is a joke, but I just...I just...I just don't know anymore.
Get It On!: "The Car Show" Starts July 13th
As many of you already know, I'm a huge Adam Carolla fan, so I'm definitely going to support "The Car Show" (especially since I missed "The Adam Carolla Project" back in '05), but gotdamn do I have a major conflict of interest Wednesday nights at 10. I'm obviously already watching "The Challenge: Rivals" at 10, and of course at 11 when "Rivals" repeats I'm watching "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." This is almost as bad as the NFL constantly schedule the Cowboys as the first Sunday night and making me choose between my Boys and the VMAs (if there's a season, this will be the 3rd time in 5 years they've pulled this bullshit).
Oh well, I'll figure it out, but in the meantime, check out another great promo for "The Car Show" after the jump.

Cory Gunz - Outta My Mind
Honestly, I wasn't feeling the song much, but the video was CRAZY! Since I've been spending a lot of time lately trying to make my own videos I now have an appreciate for dope direction.
Anyway, when is that Cory Gunz mixtape dropping??
Cole Summer: Episode 1
Bitch he about to blow up! You gotta love J. Cole. Oh, and who is that nigga Mike Shaw? Does he do stand-up? Dude was hilarious! Hopefully he'll be in all the Cole Summer episodes leading up to the album.
June 29, 2011
Bow Wow - Sell My Soul (Unreleased)
Illest. Bow. Song. EVER! Why in the FUCK wouldn't they have released this? My best guess is because of the jab at Sony, but I doubt it because he's been with Cash Money/Universal for awhile now. Oh well, this record is dope.
The Lonely Island - We'll Kill U
This is pretty much just a rip-off of Jon Lajoie's I Kill People, but it was still kinda funny.
Eric Stanley - Nate Dogg Tribute
Damn, that was dope! If he would've put that out months ago BET might've flew him out (like they did Karmin Covers) to help them with that struggle tribute they did for Nate.
Big Sean Tells How He Met Kanye
I already heard the story (can't remember on what though), but I thought it'd be interesting if you never heard how he met Kanye and got a deal.
Free Talking About Free's Ass With Tigger
If you just realized Free had ass Sunday night, you either an idiot or were a little kid back when 106 & Park started because that ass was always the highlight for the show for me. Aww man, especially when she used to wear jeans or pants. My God *Pusha T voice*! You can't get an ass that perfect via ass shots or implants, I'm sorry (though I'm sure a million girl went out to get some ass shots after see her an Tracee Ellis Ross Sunday).
If you want to re-live Free's ass while listening, I left it for you after the jump. Oh, and I'd strongly suggest you go ahead and "click to enlarge" when you get there.
Karmin Covers Parody
If you watched the BET Awards' pre-show Sunday night, you saw a couple of white folks right before selected commercial breaks singing hit records like Look At Me Now and 6 Foot 7 Foot. Well they're actually a super popular YouTube group named Karmin Covers, that is most popular for their cover of Look At Me Now. I told yall this is the Year Of White People Reciting Rap Lyrics.
Anyway, here a quick little parody of them by Affion Crockett.

First World Problems
I was on Tosh.0's blog earlier and came across this video. I click on it and this this shit has over 800,000 is less than a week! Now you might also remember Tosh.0's blog broke Rebecca Black's Friday video, so what I'm really trying to say is: FUCK Worldstar, I'm going to try to get my next video on Tosh.0's blog!
Drake - Marvin's Room Video
I'm an idiot, I was watching this shit before I even went to work and forgot to post it. Anyway, Drake gets his emo on with this relationship destroyer. Enjoy if you haven't seen it yet (which I'm sure you have).

Eat Dinner With Barack...& Joe!
I guess this is supposed to be an addition to the dinner with Barack, but if you ask me, they should've switched it around. The way they have it now it's like entering a contest to have dinner with Jay-Z and then finding out Memphis Bleek will also be there. I guess you should be more excited... but not really.
It should've been "Win a dinner with Joe Biden" then they should've thrown Barack in there to make it more enticing. And that's not to put Joe down, I'm sure having a candid conversation with him would be fucking awesome, but you'd think they'd pull more star power our of their ass for a contest like this. Oh well, sign me up anyway!
Eminem - Space Bound Video
I'm not sure why they held onto this video for so long, but I'm glad its out because it is amazing. And that's not to mention it was my favorite song on Recovery. It's a shame they can't show it on TV because he blows his brains out twice, but it's GOT to be nominated for something at the VMAs.

T.O. Tears ACL
The only good thing (if there truly is one) about this whole story is that we don't know when or how it happened. For T.O.'s sake, hopefully it happened a few months back and word just got out...but I doubt it. Damn, I just remembered that we still might not have an NFL season...

Who Should Win, Who Will Win: BET Awards 2011
Viewers’ Choice Award
Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes "Look At Me Now"
Lil Wayne ft. Cory Gunz "6 Foot 7 Foot"
Mindless Behavior "My Girl"
Nicki Minaj ft. Drake "Moment 4 Life"
Rihanna ft. Drake "What's My Name?"
Trey Songz ft. Nicki Minaj "Bottoms Up"
Who Should Win: Lil Wayne ft. Cory Gunz "6 Foot 7 Foot"
Who Will Win: Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes "Look At Me Now"
Thoughts: First off, who in the fuck is Mindless Behavior and how did they get nominated for anything? Having your song played anywhere is no longer a requirement to be a BET Awards nominee? Cool, well I like Young Real Nigga’s chances next year.
Anyway, call me old fashioned, but I feel like the viewers should vote for the best song, and 6 Foot 7 Foot is the best song, thus it should would. Unfortunately, that’s no longer how it works now that most of the viewers are as clueless as the artists they adore. For that reason, Chris Brown should win this in a landslide.
Best Female R&B Artist
Marsha Ambrosius
Beyoncé
Keri Hilson
Jennifer Hudson
Rihanna
Who Should Win: Rihanna
Who Will Win: Rihanna
Thoughts: As odd as it is to say this, Rihanna should and will win Best Female R&B Artist. Yeah, should can’t sing and all, but out of this group, who had a bigger year than her? Keri Kilson? Please. Rihanna’s only real competition here is Beyonce, and her damn album isn’t even out yet (well not in stores at least). Rihanna grabbed a platinum plaque, 3 #1 singles as a lead artist, and 1 #1 single as a featured artist, but it’d be a tragedy if she didn’t win, if not for her titties performance in the Man Down video alone.
And if you still can’t wrap your head around the worst singer nominated winning this award, just keep in mind, this is “Best Female R&B Artist,” not singer.
Best Male R&B Artist
Chris Brown
Cee-Lo Green
Bruno Mars
Trey Songz
Usher
Who Should Win: Bruno Mars
Who Will Win: Chris Brown
Thoughts: If this award was given for "best ability to stay in the news for anger issues while being seen as a sympathetic figure by fans for reasons that aren’t quite clear" then I'd agree that this award should be all CB's. BUT if we’re going off who had the most successful past 12 months, there's no question it's Bruno Mars.
Now I know it’s trendy to not like Bruno (for reason that are also not clear), but since the last BET Awards, he’s had a platinum album, 2 #1 singles, a 3rd single that rose to #4, 0 nonsensical Twitter beefs, 0 chairs thrown through Good Morning America windows followed by shirtless getaways, and 0 cries for attention via hair bleaching. This is Bruno’s award.
Best Female Hip-Hop Artist
Diamond
Cymphonique
Lola Monroe
Nicki Minaj
Who Should Win: Nicki Minaj
Who Will Win: Nicki Minaj
Thoughts: To this day, I still struggle with why exactly this is a category. If you reach in your ass and pull out Diamond, Lola Monroe, and (most egregiously) Cymphonique (Somaya Reece is more qualified to be nominated than this nobody) and STILL can’t fill out the category with 5 names, maybe it’s time to discontinue it.
Besides, can’t we just give the awards to Nicki Minaj for the next 5 years and be done with it? Is there any chance any of these other chicks get their album released, let alone succeed, at any point ever? Probably not, and that’s be generous. Seriously, "Best Country Singer" would make more sense at the BET Awards than this shit. It’s a disgrace to Hip-Hop.
Best Male Hip-Hop Artist
B.o.B
Drake
Lil Wayne
Rick Ross
Kanye West
Who Should Win: Kanye West
Who Will Win: Kanye West
Thoughts: Yes, Kanye should win and will win, but this shit wasn’t as a decision and you might think. Rick Ross had a helluva past 12 months. He put out a near classic album, countless street anthems, and made people care about who Meek Mill is. Oh, and that’s not to mention proving that you can’t be a total hypocrite and liar and still be success as long as you put out good music. That counts for something. Unfortunately, not as much as any and everything Kanye West touches tough.
Best Collaboration
B.o.B ft. Haley Williams of Paramore "Airplanes"
Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes "Look at Me Now"
Kanye West ft. Rihanna "All of the Lights"
Chris Brown ft. Tyga & Kevin McCall "Deuces"
Waka Flocka Flame ft. Roscoe Dash & Wale "No Hands"
Rihanna ft. Drake "What's My Name"
Who Should Win: Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes "Look at Me Now"
Who Will Win: Rihanna ft. Drake "What's My Name"
Thoughts: You read that right, yes, I think Chris Brown's Look At Me Now should win Best Collaboration. B.o.B's Airplanes was good, but the song undoubtedly would’ve been better sans Haley Williams; Kanye West's All Of The Lights was dope, but Rihanna really brought nothing to the record, and besides, you can’t even recognize the overwhelming majority of artists featured on the song; Deuces is old as fuck and shouldn’t even be nominated; and Waka Flocka's No Hands wasn’t even a good song, so it’s placement in this category isn’t even legit. That leaves Look At Me Now and What's My Name, and the determining factor for me was the fact that Busta Rhymes had a better verse than everybody on every other song nominated in this category.
Best New Artist
J. Cole
Bruno Mars
Miguel
Willow Smith
Wiz Khalifa
Who Should Win: Bruno Mars
Who Will Win: Bruno Mars
Thoughts: For the reasons stated above under "Best Male R&B Artist," Bruno Mars should win this award as well. Unfortunately, the real reason he’s going to win this award is because there’s no chance he wins Best Male R&B Artist, despite having a vastly more successful year than Chris Brown. Sad, but true.
Best Group
Diddy Dirty Money
Cali Swag District
N*E*R*D
New Boyz
Travis Porter
Who Should Win: Diddy Dirty Money
Who Will Win: Diddy Dirty Money
Thoughts: Dirty Money wins this by default. Cali Swag District cursed Hip-Hop with yet another bullshit song and dance, N*E*R*D doesn’t even make BET-type music, the New Boyz are essentially irrelevant, and Travis Porter is Travis Porter. Dirty Money falls up into this win.
Video Of The Year
"Far Away" Marsha Ambrosius
"Airplanes" B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams of Paramore
"Look at Me Now" Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
"Pretty Girl Rock" Keri Hilson
"Whip My Hair" Willow Smith
"Runaway" Kanye West ft. Pusha T
Who Should Win: "Look at Me Now" Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes
Who Will Win: "Pretty Girl Rock" Keri Hilson
Thoughts: First off, Marsha Ambrosius' Far Away is disqualified for a dude-on-dude kiss. Completely uncalled for, my eyes have yet to recover.
Also, Kanye West's Runaway is DQ'd as well because it doesn't even have a real video; it just has a snippet from his movie "Runaway." Why wouldn't All Of The Lights be nominated instead? Not only does it have a "Runaway" snippet, but also an actual video. And of course, this is all besides the fact that Runaway the song should've been nominated for Best Collaboration instead of All Of The Lights. I swear there are some true retards working for BET.
Anyway, Look At Me Now is probably the best video of those left to choose from (mainly for its use of the DeLorean). My logic in saying Pretty Girl Rock will win is based on BET possibly growing tired of slobbing Chris Brown's knob. I doubt it, but who knows?
Video Director Of The Year
Benny Boom
Mr. Boomtown
Chris Robinson
Kanye West
Hype Williams
Who Should Win: n/a
Who Will Win: n/a
Thoughts: I hardly even watch music videos anymore, let alone pay attention to who directs them. That’s sooooo 1998.
Youngstars Award
Shenell Edmonds
Keke Palmer
Diggy Simmons
Jaden Smith
Willow Smith
Who Should Win: Diggy Simmons
Who Will Win: Jaden Smith
Thoughts: This is the BET Awards, Diggy is the only 1 who makes music I'd listen to, thus he should win. Too bad he won’t though.
Best Actress
Halle Berry
Taraji P. Henson
Regina King
Zoë Saldana
Kerry Washington
Who Should Win: Taraji P. Henson
Who Will Win: Taraji P. Henson
Thoughts: Not saying she isn't deserving of this award, but Taraji P. Henson wins by default because she’s the only one who's working on anything the bulk of the BET audience would know of (I don’t think 106 & Park and Southland have much crossover in this department). Then again, Zoë Saldana was in "Takers" albeit as about the 10th lead, but still.
Best Actor
Laz Alonso
Chris Brown
Don Cheadle
Idris Elba
Jamie Foxx
Who Should Win: Laz Alonso
Who Will Win: Idris Elba
Thoughts: Question: How is "The Book Of Eli" nominated for Best Movie, but the lead in that movie (Denzel Washington) isn’t nominated for Best Actor? Someone explain that to me. And I know Tyler Perry is a (shitty) writer, but he starred in the biggest "black movie" of the past year. He gets no nod either? I guess what I'm trying to say is, I still don’t know how Chris Brown was nominated for Best Actor for being the 4th or 5th lead in a movie sitting at 27% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Laz Alonso probably should win, but I’m pretty sure Idris Elba will.
Best Movie
Death at a Funeral
For Colored Girls
Takers
The Book of Eli
Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?
Who Should Win: For Colored Girls
Who Will Win: For Colored Girls
Thoughts: I guess. I don’t know.
Moving on….
Best Gospel
Byron Cage
Deitrick Haddon
Mary Mary
Karen Clark Sheard
BeBe & CeCe Winans
Who Should Win: Mary Mary
Who Will Win: Mary Mary
Thoughts: I don’t claim to be an expert on Gospel music, but its gotta be Mary Mary, right?
Centric Award
Marsha Ambrosius
Eric Benét
Cee-Lo Green
R. Kelly
Kem
Who Should Win: Kem
Who Will Win: Kem
Thoughts: I'm not exactly sure how R. Kelly found his way under this category, but making one non-bullshit album in the past 5 years doesn’t make you "centric."
Regardless, Kem makes consistent Neo-Soul music and his album Intimacy sold 74,300 copies first week without any mainstream single or buzz. This is really the least BET could do to give the man his just due.
Sportswoman Of The Year
Tamika Catchings
Candice Dupree
Maya Moore
Serena Williams
Venus Williams
Who Should Win: Maya Moore
Who Will Win: Maya Moore
Thoughts: How did BET not know that Serena Williams didn’t play at all over the past year?? That seems like something that shouldn’t slip under the radar when nominations are being considered. And how does that cutie from Norte Dame, Skylar Diggins, not get nominated? Yeah, her team didn’t win the tournament, but she beat Maya Moore’s team. Whatever just give it to Maya.
Sportsman Of The Year
Carmelo Anthony
Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Derrick Rose
Michael Vick
Who Should Win: Michael Vick
Who Will Win: Michael Vick
Thoughts: No question, heads down, it’s GOT to be Mike Vick. This isn’t up for debate. Matter of fact, let’s just move on.
Best International Act: Africa
2Face Idibia
D' Banj
D-Black
Fally Ipupa
Angelique Kidjo
Teargas
Who Should Win: n/a
Who Will Win: n/a
Thoughts: Who the fuck knows? This award is almost as useless as Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. Almost.
Best International Act: UK
VV Brown
Chipmunk
Laura Izibor
Skepta
Tinchy Stryder
Tinie Tempah
Who Should Win: Skepta
Who Will Win: Tinie Tempah
Thoughts: I have no idea why this International award had to be split into 2 separate categories (that no one cares about), but I guess it’s the BET way to make these sort of nonsensical decisions.
Anyway, I’ve only heard of Skepta and Tinie Tempah, and I think Skepta should win for this video alone.
Blind Side 2? The Jimmy Butler Story
If there was ever gonna be a sequel to "The Blind Side," there's no doubt it would be about Jimmy Butler (though I'm sure much like "The Hangover II," everyone would idiotically criticize the storyline for being too similar to the original despite that being the whole point). Dude got kicked out of his house by his cunt of a mom at the age of 13 and bounced around for years until finding a home and family his senior year. Jimmy then went off to junior college where was began to be recognized by scouts at tops schools and landed a scholarship with Marquette. A few year later, and now he's in the NBA. You know his biological mother is PISSED! You gotta love it.

Will.I.Am Reads His Lyrics...While He's Performing
I know Will is uber success and all making bullshit music, but this nigga is a failure. How can't he memorize those simple ass lyrics of his? It's not like he's spitting Busta Rhyme's verse from Look At Me Now, he's saying some bullshit that begins with "This is that original. This has no identical." Really Will, that was too much to not read off the BlackBerry? Drake, you're officially off the hook. Congrats.
(Side note: No, I don't have any opinion on buddy with the hot pink boy shorts and knee high socks. Matter of fact, I'd like to pretend this all didn't happen.)
Why???: Athletes Rapping
This is reason #1,062 why the NFL lockout needs to end immediately, and reason #453 why the NBA lockout better be brief. As you know from guys like Soulja Boy, Lil B, and RiFF RAFF, rapping isn't for everyone. Unfortunately Chris Johnson and Lou Williams have yet to receive that memo. Let's proceed with CJ's song Act On Deck (and no I have no idea what that means either so don't ask):
CJ is clearly the Jewels...I mean Allen Iverson, of the NFL, so maybe it's a good thing we're in a lockout because you know Dictator Goodell (the same guy who can't get the players and owners to agree on how to split up billions and billions of dollars) would surely suspend him for his stupid Act. Somebody get this man a pair of cleats and a football field ASAP.
(Side note: If Iverson's 40 Bars came out in 2011 the internet might've exploded.)
Next up is ya man Lou Williams, back up point guard for the Philly Sixers, with his song and video Slow It Down:
Okay, okay, let me get this straight: Lou entices girls to come home with him by pouring champagne on models and telling them he has an elevator in his crib, but once he gets them there ready to fuck it's time to slow it down and get to know him? Fuck him using "pototoes, potatoes" in a rap, is that really what this song is about? Yeah he can't rap either, but his song may make less sense than Chris'.
Good thing I'm not the owner or GM of the Sixers because wackness of this degree is a waive-able offense.
Apparently Soulja Boy Signed RiFF RAFF
I understand times are hard, but no grown man should be this excited to sign to a label that hasn't produced any successful artists in its history. Then again, this is the guy who felt he should use MTV in his name despite only appearing on 2 episodes of "From G's To Gents," so we know we're dealing with a crazy person.
If you can't get enough of terrible rap, ya boy RiFF put out a new shitty freestyle the other day where I believe he admits to snorting coke about 45 seconds in. Catch that after the jump if you care (though I'm sure you don't).
Kevin Hart On The Tonight Show With Jay Leno
You gotta love Kevin Hart! I'm glad he was able to recovery after that failed opening Wayne Brady/NSYNC joke. That shit was awful. Anyway, part 2 is after the jump.
And as a little bonus, here's K. Hart on Jermaine Dupri's Living The Life YouTube show, just fast forward to 1:24.

A Few Thoughts On The NBA Draft
And don't think I'm just picking on Derrick Williams either, personally, I think 2011 will go down as one of the worst drafts of all-time. Who knows, but I could see potential busts all over the place, especially all these guys from overseas who most of us have really never seen play. I think at least half of the lottery picks could be out of the NBA within the next 5 years. Either that, or getting Adam Morrison-type minutes.
One guy that I hope isn't a bust though is Fort Lauderdale's own Brandon Knight. That's for obvious reasons. He probably should've stayed in school another year, but we know he's better than Rodney Stuckey, so he should be fine in Detroit.
I'm not sure what Sacramento was trying to do by picking Jimmer Fredette at #9. I'm saying they took him too high, but I am saying he makes little-to-no sense for their team. He wants the ball, Tyreke Evans wants the ball, and DeMarcus Cousins wants the ball, I just don't see how that works. And that's not to mention potentially playing an Evans-Fredette backcourt. Who's gonna play he 1 and who's gonna play the 2? To me, this is WAY worse than Curry-Ellis in Oakland. Sac-Town should've just let him fall to Utah at #12 as well the Lord's plan.
As usual, the Knicks left everyone scratching their heads with their pick of Iman Shumpert. I guess that's what happens when you let a guy go, but let him run your draft as his last duty.
And last, but not least, my Heat ended up with somebody named Norris Cole out of Cleveland State. Apparently he can score big points, but I don't think that's exactly what we needed. Then again, I don't think this draft could provide us with anything we truly need (which is LeBron James to not shrink in the Finals), but who knows. The pick I'm really counting on came in last year's draft, and that's Dexter Pittman. If he can start giving us good minutes at the 5 next year, I think that'll be a major addition.
Estelle - Break My Heart (feat. Rick Ross) Video
I don't post many non-me music video, but I love this song so much I just had to. It's gonna be awkward when YouTube delete Estelle's video off of her own channel though (they've done it to plenty artists before).
Random News Shit: All Over The Place Edition
Go ahead and toss this in the "Proof Ron Artest is insane" bucket. Metta World Peace? I... I... I just don't know anymore.
(Side note: It'd be hilarious if Ron Ar...ugh, Metta World Peace's jersey skyrocketed to the top of the NBA Store sales list.)
2) Missy Elliott Diagnosed With Graves Disease
I probably should've did some research, but I have no idea what Graves Disease is, but it has "disease" in it thus it can't be a good thing. Missy is one of the all-time great female artists, so I hope she gets better and gets back to making hits eventually.
3) The 5th Season Will Be The Last For Jersey Shore
The 4th season in Italy is in the can and filming on the 5th season starts Monday back on the Shore, but that will be the end of the road. There supposed to be replacing folks and frankly, it's probably for the best. Actually, I'm not sure why they're waiting for the end of the 5th season to find new people, this 4th season should probably be their last. Don't get me wrong, I love Pauly D and Snooki and the whole gang, but it's time for something new. Plus, MTV is just making it harder on the next cast if they keep on with this current cast that everybody already loves.
4) Buju Banton Sentenced To 10 Years In Prison
Damn. I don't even know what else to say, just damn.
5) Chris Brown Apologizes For Gay Slur
I don't like Chris Brown, you all know this, but I have to come to Young Ike's defense here and call this bullshit. I know gay people are sensitive, but give me a fucking break. Why does everyone have to be labeled homophobic anytime they say the word gay? Do gays really think this is helping their cause? They can't, right? I mean, I'm cool with people choosing to be gay, and I think we should let them go get married and all that, but every time one of these stories pops up (which is every few days) it makes me less interested in helping their causes. Saying gay is nothing like saying nigger, but gays constantly playing the "Gay Card" is vastly becoming as annoying as blacks constantly playing the Race Card. Just give it a rest and let people live.
J. Cole Gets A Release Date
Jermaine's long-awaited debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story finally got a release date and it's September 27th. Obviously that's no time soon, so thing could easily change, but for some reason I feel good about it. Now of course he gonna have to come with a much better first single (I seriously doubt Work Out will work out, its just too average...much like Who Dat before it), but the Roc is generally good with sticking to release dates. And you know the album itself it dope, so I just can't wait.

Sean Kingston Back
Perfect timing by me, Sean Kingston has been released from the hospital according to TMZ. Winning! lol.
Now, I was gonna shoot a video for this, but I just wasn't cutting my facial hair for no damn Sean Kingston. Plus, I didn't know anybody with a jet ski. It's all good, I'll get em next time.

Doo Doo Hard (Hustle Hard Parody)
New shit by me (finally). I was waiting around for my brother to do his part for over a month, then I just said fuck it and edited the video. I hope it's enjoyable.

Bow Wow On Sleep
Let me start this by saying that I like Bow Wow. I don't know why, but I always fucked with him even before he started writing his own shit.
Now with that being said, this is one of the stupidest stances I've ever heard. To be fair to Bow, he definitely isn't the only rapper or entertainer that feels this way (though most of them feel this way because they can't sleep rather than they refuse to), but it's still an idiotic stand to take. Seriously, why wouldn't you want to sleep? What has sleep ever done to anyone, but bring joy and eye boogers? Most of the time these niggas aren't doing shit anyway, it's not like they have to clock in anywhere, especially all his others niggas who he says he also wakes up when he gets up (hopefully they're not in the same bed lol).
I don't know, it could just be me, but I don't feel like not sleeping is good for anyone's career. I mean, you think Oprah doesn't sleep? Bill Gates? Warren Buffet? Again, it could just be me, but being anti-sleep seems moronic lol.
Bad Meets Evil
I actually just listened to the album and it's certified hot shit. The swiftness with which this project came together and was released kinda makes me pissed off at everybody always talking about their grinding but hardly ever dropping shit. Whatever though.
Anyway, I'm surprised they didn't employ this guy to say anything on the album, I think that would've been tight (Side note: I'm pretty sure the guy in this video is not the guy from the skit). I'm still copping it regardless, but I'm just saying it would've been cool.
Watch The Throne Coming July 4th?

Less Fat Joe
This is great, I'm really happy for Joe on his weight loss. I think I'm most happy that he didn't have any surgery or go on any weird diet, he just ate right and exercised. That's what it's all about right, not diet books and informercial exercise devices. Go Joe!
Bob Ley Spits Some Hov
With Ted Williams, the couple that won Super Bowl tickets, and the guy who recited every country in the world in alphabetical order, I thought 2011 was the Year Of The Homeless. But with Gweneth Paltrow, Adrien Brody, and now Bob Ley, 2011 is now the Year Of White People Rapping. I wonder who will be next?

Your Vagina Ain't WHAT?!
Ohhhh, your vagina ain't handicapped! My bad, I thought you were saying something else. My hearing gets blocked at times when I'm rolling on the floor laughing hysterically.
Seriously though, what the fucking fuck? I'm just gonna assume someone is on the other side of that camera with a pistol pointed at her face making her do this. I mean, what else could be a possible explanation? I can't think of another.
I'm not gonna front though, that shit was kinda ill. No, not the thought of fucking her unhandicapped vagina, her lyrics, they were actually kinda tight. One freestyle and she's already leaps and bounds ahead of the likes of Soul-less Boy, Lil B, and Gucci Mane (to name a few).
Keep the good work lady, and don't be surprised if Young Real Nigga hops on the remix.

- Pitbull's International Love featuring Chris Brown debuts at #59.
- Beyonce's Best Thing I Never Had debuts at #84.
- Rihanna's Man Down flies 26 spots 94-68 amid controversy over the video. I've watched the video several times in the past few days, and the only controversy its caused is in my pants.
- Lupe Fiasco's Out Of My Head with Trey Songz jumps 11 spots 98-87.
- Trey Songz's Unusual featuring Drake debuts at #90.
- Rej3ctz's Cat Daddy debuts at #97. I've seen people saying they've wanted to do "the Cat Daddy," so I'm assuming it's some kind of new dance, but I don't care enough to find out for sure.
Big K.R.I.T. - Country Shit (Remix) (feat. Ludacris & Bun B) Video
With guys like Soul-less Boy Tell'himwhotobe polluting Hip-Hop like an AIDS dick in an orgy, you have to remember that there are actually talented artists out there to be enjoyed. Enjoy Big K.R.I.T., laugh and point at Soul-less.
Soul-less Boy: A Child Lost
Now that's not to say Soul-less was once brilliant and is now missed, and is to say that this nigga is a lost person who doesn't know who he wants to be. First he wanted to be Bow Wow, then he wanted to be Gucci Mane, then he wanted to be O.J. Da Juiceman, then he wanted to be Tupac, and now he wants to be Lil B. If I thought Lil B actually wrote songs and didn't get high and find the nearest recordable device, I'd say he wrote this for him because this is 1000% Based god (yes, the G is lower case on purpose). The rambling rant at the beginning, the basicness of his flow, the terribleness of the lyrics, the in-and-out camera shots, it's all Lil B. Hell, the nigga even had somebody doing that retarded stirring dance. Here's exhibit A-Z. I rest my case, Soul-less Boy is an impostor.
Of course this all raises the question: "How are you conceited when you're not even you?" But seeing how much I don't care, I'm just gonna end it here.

Random News Shit: NBA Headlines Edition
In all honestly, this really isn't a big deal, but for the simple fact that if LeBron had said this ESPN would've interrupted whatever it was showing to do a special report, I'm posting it. Here's the quote: "They keep sticking him [LeBron] on Jet in the fourth quarters and he's been doing a good job... Jet hasn't really been a crunch-time, clutch player for us the way we need him to."
Snap!
2) DeShawn Stevenson Calls LeBron & Wade "Actors"
This nigga REALLY almost got the STFU Award, but then I remembered it was just DeShawn Stevenson. And if anybody would know who was acting out there, it'd be DeShawn because he has great front row seats after his struggle minutes in the first quarters of games. Of course, if I was on a team shooting jump shots and getting to the foul line nearly double as many times as my opponents that's constantly driving to the basket, I'd shut the fuck up. But then again, I wouldn't have gotten a $5 bill tattooed across my throat, so what do I know?
3) Mark Jackson To Coach The Warriors
Good for Mark, but I sure will miss the Breen-Jackson-Van Gundy 3-man booth ABC and ESPN deployed for big games.
Welp, look on the bright side, if the Warriors continue playing like the Warriors we'll have the band back together in no time.
Welcome Home Plaxico!
Well I'm glad dude is home with his family and I hope he lands on he feet in the NFL. I'm not gonna lie, I'd take Plax fresh out the cell block over Roy Williams ANY day. I'd tell Jerry to make it happen, but he and the rest of the owners are busy trying to figure out new ways to steal the player's share of the money.

Gay Bear Hotline
I just minding my own business watching this Billy Sorrells prank call video last night when the "Gay Bear Hotline" starts popping up in the video out of nowhere. Nigga, this shit is fuckin' HILARIOUS! How does this not have a million views? Maybe it did and YouTube took the original down? Who's to know, but man was this shit funny as hell.
T-Pain Vows To Never Use Auto-Tune Again
Now, before you take to the streets and rejoice, you should know that that doesn't mean T-Pain will stop using funny voice effects altogether. Actually he's got something new called "The T-Pain Effect" that he says is "bigger and better" than auto-tune, which probably code for "weirder and even more annoying." Welp, I guess we'll just have to wait to see what "The T-Pain Effect" is exactly. Fingers crossed for it not being worse than auto-tune because that would be an odd and cruel way of Pain making us miss the technology that nearly killed Hip-Hop.

You know what I else I can't believe? That not one of the albums on the Cash Money/Young Money's "A Hot Summer" release date list is currently on proper schedule. Well, unless Bow Wow's album is ready to go for next Tuesday lol.

Surprise! Mister Cee Pleads Guilty
Speaking of Flex, who comes out (no pun intended...okay, kinda) looking more foolish in this situation, Mister Cee for being down for the sword fight or Flex for sticking up for him so aggressively?
Call me crazy, but I'm leaning towards Funk Flex (something I'm sure Mister Cee has wanted to do for years). Cee did what any uncloseted gay guy that got caught in a similar situation would do: deny, deny, deny. Flex, on the other hand, did what any guy on the D.L. would do if gay shit came up: get angry. That's actually worse because the allegations weren't even against him. It was almost like he was telling us he might have something in common with Mister Cee besides being a DJ for Hot 97. Just putting it out there.

Shaq Retires
Anyway, I'm glad Shaq finally called it quits because 1) it was terrible seeing him struggle to get up and down the court and 2) it was fucking weird that he was the oldest player in the league. I was 7 when Shaq came into the league, now I'm 26! That's insane to me.
Whatever, thanks for helping bring that first title to South Florida, you will be missed (until you find a way to get back on our TV screens again a la Charles Barkley).

Beanie Sigel Apologizes To Jay-Z
"What Mike Epps say? 'Gangstas fuck up too, Whatever I felt this dude Jay did wrong to me, it can’t outweigh the one thing he did do for me – he gave me an opportunity. Dude gave me an opportunity. A lot of people don’t get opportunities. He gave me that. That outweighs everything. I need that in black and white. I got caught in the moment and put my feelings out there. I should have never done that."
"I was explaining the whole Roc-A-Fella shit and a lot of feelings were going to get hurt. I was airing shit out. Just the homies could listen to that when they come into the studio. I couldn’t put that out. It wouldn’t sit right with me."
