The 2011 L.A.M.E. Awards Nominees

Can you smell that in the air? Yeah, me neither but regardless, it's almost time for the 2011 L.A.M.E. Awards! Today, I present to you the nominees for the leaders in lame, but I plan to do thing a little bit different this year. Last year I recorded an one man podcast (at about 7am, so I wasn't wake for the first quarter of it), this year I plan on making a series of videos (hopefully) starring some of the folks I find the funniest on YouTube.

Another change this year will be the show's format. Last year all the awards were one big jumble, this year I separated things into 4 categories: Sports, Entertainment, Style, and Music.

And the last thing you need to know about this year's festivities is that they will take play on December 26th, only on FiyahMuzikTV, so go subscribe if you haven't already.

Now that we got that out of the way, who ready for some L.A.M.E.? Let's do it!

R.I.P. Patrice O'Neal

Not too long ago news broke about Conrad Murray's sentencing, but fuck that nigga, something much more tragic occurred--Patrice O'Neal died. This comes about a month after he suffered a stroke, and weeks after Heavy D passed at 44. Patrice was just 41.

Patrice was hands down one of the funniest guys doing it, and one of my personal favorites. This tragedy is another reminder that we all need to get our health in order, but especially us black men. It's bad enough we're still killing each other, now we're killing ourselves too with food.

Drake - Headlines Parody (Plinko)

I wrote this back when my computer was fucked up in September, so don't me why I''m just putting it out now when my computer was fixed in early October. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it, if you even know what Plinko is.

Are You My Daddy?: Erik Spoelstra & KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowl Guy

Thank goodness the NBA lockout is over, now Erik Spoelstra can finally quit his job selling Cheesy Bacon Bowls at KFC.

Okay, now that I got that joke out of my system we can move on to the real purpose of this post, and future posts like it. Are You My Daddy? is obviously a joke from "Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood," but also a bit Tom Joyner and J. Anthony Brown used to do on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. I was going to wait until 2012 to introduce it, but I'm so excited about the lockout being over, I figured what the hell?

So with all that being said, the KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowl Guy wants to ask Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, are you my daddy? The eyes, the nose, the teeth, the chin, the skin color, yeah, Erik you better gon'head and take responsibility for this one.

The NBA Lockout Is OVER!

Thank God! I was getting tired of acting like I didn't care about the NBA. True story: I was so bored today I watched a hockey game! Yes, sad ain't it?

Well that's a thing of the past now as the owners and players have come to a tentative agreement deal that would possibly start the season on Christmas Day. It would be a 66 game season in total (I can hear the asterisk talk already if the Heat win the championship) and training camp would open December 9th. That is if the deal goes through, which we know isn't a guarantee. Either way, I'm fucking excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see who gained the most weight during the lockout! Baron Davis? Zach Randolph? Andrew Bynum? Even though we know it won't happen, wouldn't it be hilarious if it was Kevin Durant? Damn, I'm so happy right now!

Oh yeah, what happens to Lamar Odom now? I think I remember seeing something about him signing with that Turkish team Allen Iverson played for. Does this mean he doesn't have to go? If not, on a scale from 1 to this guy, how thrilled is Khole Kardashian right now? Then again, all the NBA hoochies are feeling like this guy right now too. Good times to be had all around.

Thank you Deshawn Stevenson for calling out Billy Hunter and essentially helping to jumpstart talks again. You're still a bum, but I appreciated your words.

NFL Winners & Losers: Week 12

Three awesome games today, but let's get things started with a little pod.


With Dallas winning Thursday and Green Bay coming to town in Week 13, the Giants are in desperate need of a W in New Orleans Monday. Sadly for them, I don't think they will get it. The Saints are undefeated at home and will remain that way when this game is in the books. Saints winners, Giants losers.

No Vick this Sunday (which actually might be a good thing), so Vince Young will get another start. Unfortunately for them, I don't expect New England to flop like New York did last Sunday night. Patriots winners, Eagles losers.

How are the Broncos such huge underdogs in this game? What have the Chargers done successfully since Week 5 (ironically when Tim Tebow made his first appearance of the season), besides ending Jay Cutler's season? Tebow nearly beat San Diego in a half back then, and this time I say he completes the job. Broncos winners, Chargers losers.

The Counterfeit Bills are just what the doctor ordered for the Jets. Jets winners, Bills losers.

Carson Palmer vs. Chicago's defense. Bears winners, Raiders losers.

It's too bad the Titans didn't see Chris Johnson's career falling off a cliff when they decided LeGarrette Blount wasn't good enough to make their roster last offseason. Buccaneers winners, Titans losers.

As long as Matt Leinart isn't asked to do much, I don't see why the Texans should be able to win this game easily. Texans winners, Jaguars losers.

This could be a trap game for Cincinnati, but I hate the Browns, so fuck it. Bengals winners, Browns losers.

Don't let the Washington's performance last week against Dallas fool you, they aren't a good team. Seattle isn't really either, but Seattle in Seattle against a poor team? The choice is obvious. Seahawks winners, Redskins losers.

Again, Tyler Palko. Steelers winners, Chiefs losers.

I don't trust Atlanta, but if they can't beat Christian Ponder and the Adrian Peterson-less Vikings then there's no hope. Falcons winners, Vikings losers.

I was definitely going to take Arizona in this game... then I heard Kevin Kolb might play. I'm sure I will regret this, but I'm gonna stick with them regardless. Cardinals winners, Rams losers.

If the Colts were ever going to beat anybody in 2011, it'd be the Panthers, right? Yes, Carolina can put up points, but their defense is possibly the worst in the league. I'm gonna take a flyer here and say Dan Orlovsky and Ernie Sims (members of the 0-16 2008 Lions) don't suffer a 2nd 0-16 season and Indy gets W number one. Colts winners, Panthers losers.

Thanksgiving Games


The Lions face unbeaten Green Bay on Thursday, nearly 49 years to the day after Detroit beat the Packers on Thanksgiving to hand them their only loss of the 1962 season. That Green Bay team was defending an NFL championship. This year's Packers squad is coming off a Super Bowl victory.

In 1962, the Packers were 10-0 before losing to the Lions. They're 10-0 now as well. via ESPN.com

But I'm still taking Green Bay. Packers winners, Lions losers.

The Dolphins are 5-1 all-time in Thanksgiving games, including a 3-1 mark against the Cowboys, but the worst QB in league history, Tony Romo, is 4-0 in Thanksgiving games with 12 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. Cowboys winners, Dolphins losers.

The Niners have been playing some great, inspired football this year, but all the advantages in this game lean towards Baltimore. San Francisco has to travels all the way across the U.S. in a short week to play a team that's 5-0 at home, and only decides to play good when they're facing good teams. Ravens winners, 49ers losers.

(Side note: Yes, I avoided any mention of the Harbaugh brothers on purpose.)

This Week: 12-4 (.750)
Last Week: 9-5 (.643)
Season: 107-69 (.608)

Tyrese Presents The Making of Open Invitation


I didn't plan on watching this whole thing, but it was strangely captivating in a non-comedy way. The part that really hooked me in was when that dude Leon Timbo started singing in the studio. That dude is talented and I can't wait to hear more from him.

What I'm Thankful For 2011

Happy Thanksgiving from FiyahMuzik.com (aka just me).

Wale - Barry Sanders Video


Great song and video by wordsmith/sports fan Wale. If Wale could've gotten Skip Bayless to come outside and be his hypeman while he spit in front of that Lion's flag, this video would've been epic.

Doggisodes Ep. 12


I haven't posted a Doggisode in awhile, but I really enjoy this one. It was cool that older Brazilian woman was a huge Snoop Dogg fan and it was even cooler that those bikini-clad Brazilian girls walked by the camera towards the end.

Thursday Billboard Update - 11/24/11

Drake's Take Care takes over the #1 spot with 631,466 sold in its first week.

Rihanna's We Found Love spends another week at #1, Drake's title track Take Care featuring Rihanna debuts at #9, and Katy Perry's The One That Got Away inches into the top 10 (15-10). That's Katy Perry's 6th top 10 single off Teenage Dream.

Summer Leather Vest - Unison (feat. Joe Budden) Video


Highlight of this video: Seeing Yaris in her bathing suit. I haven't seen a one-piece bathing suit look that good since... since... well, ever. Dammit, I need to get a pool so I can invite some Yarises out this summer.

Fred Jackson Out For The Season


Bad times for the Buffalo Bills, and bad times for my fantasy team the Single Ronnies. Sigh.

The Bills did claim Tashard Choice off of waivers to take Jackson's place though.

T-Pain vs. Chocolate Drop


Hilarious! This is better promo for Pain.I.Am T-Pain's new album than any of the music he's released thus far.

Hopefully DeshawnRaw doesn't get his panties in a bunch and start stupidly dissing Kevin Hart like Billy Sorrells did Lil Duval last week when Guy Code came out. Neither idea is original, so it's retarded to stake claim to it just because you revamped it most recently. That's so lame.

Broncos Waive Kyle Orton

So the Broncos refused to trade Kyle Orton to the Dolphins in training camp so they could cut him in late November? Well that makes sense.

This is good news for Orton though (and who knows, he could have asked management for his release)  because it allows him to latch onto a team whose starter went down like Chicago, Houston, and Kansas City. I say it all depends on what happens Sunday, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if Chicago brought Orton back to fill in for the guy he was traded for (Cutler).

In other NFL niggas getting cut news, Tashard Choice was released by the Redskins today, just 2 days after his debut. This could mean one of 3 things: Tashard Choice sucks, Mike Shanahan is crazy, or the Skins only brought Choice in to give tips about the Cowboys' offense. I'm leaning towards things 2, but I'm not ready to rule out the Skins only signing him to help game plan against the Cowboys. When they signed him they didn't need a running back, (though Tim Hightower went on IR) but they brought Choice in anyway and after the game against Dallas he was gone. That sounds crazy enough to be true....but probably not crazy enough to be Mike Shanahan.

(Side note: I wonder if the Dolphins would have TC on a plane to Miami if their game against the Dallas was Sunday instead of Thursday?)

SOURCE



The Bears did put a claim in for Kyle Orton, but he was awarded to the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday. With Steelers, @Bears, @Jets, Packers, Raiders, and @Broncos left on the schedule, I'm not exactly sure what the Chiefs stand to gain by bringing in Kyle Orton and keeping him out of the NFC. Oh well, tough break, Kyle.

Breaking News About Jay Cutler's Thumb

(Note: the picture above is not when Cutler broke his thumb, I just added it for dramatic effect.)

Man, thing just keep getting better and better for my Dallas Cowboys. First Graham Gano misses a field goal and we pull off an overtime win to bring us to 6-4, then Vince Young takes out the Giants to bring them down to 6-4 and us in a tie for first in the NFC East, and now Jay Cutler is likely done for the year which increases the Cowboys' chance of making the playoffs, even if we don't win our division. Good times.

In all seriousness, you hate to see this happen right as Cutler was playing the best football of his career, in my opinion. If anybody was going to knock off the Packers, I thought it was going to be Cutler and the Bears, because Aaron Rodgers tends to struggle against their defense. Now the Bears have to pray Caleb Hanie's play in the NFC Championship game last season wasn't a fluke. Bad times.

And now for the question of the hour: Can the Bears still make the playoffs without Jay Cutler? *Drum roll* I say yes. The Bears are 7-3, and their remaining schedule is @Oakland, vs. Kansas City, @Denver, vs. Seattle, @Green Bay, and @Minnesota. All they're going to need is 3, maybe 4 wins to get in, and that isn't the toughest schedule ever. Caleb Hanie would have to come in and be an unholy combination of John Beck and Curtis Painter for the Bears to not get to 10-11 wins with that defense and special teams.

Young Jeezy - I Do (feat. Jay-Z & Andre 3000)

Newness from TM103, which hits stores December 20th.


I see Young Jeezy is a fan of 90's Nickelodeon with this hook by Kel Kimble. Either way, this song is dope. Hopefully 3000 doing all these features recently means he's in the studio working on an album, but I won't hold my breath.

Juvenile & Mystikal Working On A Mixtape?

That's what Juvenile told XXL. Check it out.

I would have rather had this back in 1999 or 2000, but I'll take it in 2012 too. Hopefully this doesn't slow down the process of getting that Mystikal come back album, I need that.

Twerk Team Backs That Azz Up


I haven't posted a Twerk Team video in awhile (I don't think I have at least), but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Lady L even showed up and had a good performance, which hardly ever happens anymore. And of course Mizz Twerksum held the shit all the way the fuck down (especially here). Why she hasn't quit this and become a stripper, I will never understand.

Jamie Foxx Bringing Back Showtime At The Apollo; Tony Rock To Host

That's what's up, hopefully this project goes better for Foxx than Affion's show did. I wonder what the Sandman has been up to since Apollo was last on TV? Selling weed? Turning tricks? Fixing cars? If anybody knows, hit me up.

Fuck all that though, if I ever get to interview Tony Rock the first thing I'm asking him is if he's Drew from Everybody Hates Chris. I've been wondering that shit for years!

A Day In The Life Of Fred The Godson

I found this very entertaining and you should too...or not. Either way.

NFL Winners & Losers: Week 11

New podcast with Tye!



I went back and forth on this game way too many times. On one hand you have the Jets and their great defense facing the one dimensional Broncos. On the other you have Tim Tebow (and Willis MaGahee, just found out he's active) at home catching the Jets on 4 days rest after a tough loss to the Pats.

I got burned last week for going safe (see Ravens @ Seahawks), and as much as I want to take a risk here, I just can't. Now that Denver is in the playoff picture I should have more trust that John Fox will allow Tebow do Tebow things, but I don't. Jets winners, Broncos losers.

Asher Roth Signs To Def Jam

Well this is random, I didn't even know it was a possibility. I guess it's only right though, Asher was one of the first to hit out of Hip-Hop's recently white rapper resurgence.

Hey, maybe this move will finally get us a sophomore album from Asher! ...Yeah, you're right, it won't.

Statik Selektah - Play The Game (feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Freddie Gibbs)


Finally, someone emailed me something worth posting! Wait, I take that back, most of the time I don't even check things out before I delete them, but the names on this email definitely caught my eye.

Tight song, but I hated the video because it kept making me think my computer was lagging or something lol.

Biz Markie - Just UnFriend


While sitting in amazement watching Tebow do to Rex Ryan's defense what Mr. Marcus has been doing to porno bitches for years, I fucked around and missed the beginning of Jimmy Kimmel Live. In the portion I missed came this remake of Biz Markie's 1989 hit Just A Friend by Biz himself for JKL's National Unfriend Day. Good times.

Young Jeezy - F.A.M.E. (feat. T.I.) Video


Can anybody tell me why T.I. was lighting matches and throwing them? I literally have no idea what that had to do with anything.

Also, can we get the name of the models in this video? That could be helpful for future SGGP posts.

Justin Bieber Hot 97 Freestyle

He tailed off there at the end, but either way I was super impressed by the Biebs' rapping skills once again.

I wonder where Justin is taking his radio freestyle world tour next?

Rick Ross Pushes New Album To 2012


God Forgives, I Don't was scheduled to be released December 13th, but Rick Ross and Def Jam have decided it would be best to push the project back to early 2012 instead. Fortunately, unlike Young Jeezy, this push back is health-related and not "inability to create buzz"-related. (I'm sure we all remember Rick's multiple seizures while trying to get to Wing Stop in Memphis last month).

Oh well, there's enough music out right now, we can wait a couple month to get the new album. One thing is for sure, Ross can't continue to put out great music if he's not alive, so that comes first.

Mobb Deep - Get It Forever (feat. Nas)

Mobb Deep's Black Cocaine EP will be in stores this Monday the 21st and here's a little preview of what you can expect (if you haven't downloaded it already).


This record is hard body and gritty, but if anything it's more proof that Nas needs to hurry up and drop another album. Let's get to it nigga!

Ace Hood - Realist Livin (feat. Rick Ross)

Hopefully Ace knows there's a difference between the words "realest" and "realist." I pray he does. Whatever, let's get to the music (which will be on The Statement 2).


Why wasn't this on his album again?

Anyway, this sounds like just about every other record you've heard Rick Ross on this year, but the shit is still jammin', so I'm gonna go ahead and co-sign it.

Busta Rhymes Signs With Cash Money

I don't know whether to feel bad for Busta or to feel happy for him. On one hand Cash Money is one of the biggest labels around still, but on the other hand Busta once had his own situation and now he's signing to another nigga's shit again. It's kinda sad really. And what's even sadder is that E.L.E. 2 will never see the light of day now.

Oh well, Busta is a legend, so him being on Cash Money doesn't bother me as long as the music doesn't get tainted. (I'm serious, if I hear that Busta and Lil Twist are doing songs together I'm gonna flip.)

Inside Grantland: Blake Griffin & Bill Simmons


I thoroughly enjoyed this video and hope Grantland does more just like it. Well not just like it, but you know what I mean.

Question: Is Blake Griffin the funniest person that looks like he has no personality in the world? There's no denying dude looks like a snore, but he's been consistently funny every time I've seen/heard him recently. It's out of either Blake or Eli Manning. Or maybe Eli is in a different class because I only laugh when I see him because of his remedial face. Yeah, you're right, either way.

Wale - Ambitious Girl Video

This is one of my favorite Wale songs and finally a video was randomly released for it. The video was a bit lame since it supported the stripper myth, but the song is so strong is doesn't even matter.

Thursday Billboard Update - 11/17/11

A new day is clearly here in Hip-Hop because yet another new artist had a huge first week of sales. This time it's Mac Miller with his debut album Blue Slide Park, which pushed 144,487 in week 1. Making those numbers even more impressive is the fact that Mac is an independent artist and Blue Slide Park is the first independently-distributed debut album to hit #1 since Tha Dogg Pound's Dogg Food in 1995. Big shit!

Rihanna's We Found Love spends a 3rd week at #1 as 2 new tracks enter the top 10. Bruno Mars' It Will Rain (12-9) finally makes it and Taylor Swift's If This Was A Movie debuts at #10.

Busta Rhymes - Why Stop Now (feat. Chris Brown)

If you're interested in Busta's contest, click here to get the process started. Now let's get to the music.


First off, Chris Brown should just give up singing and be a rapper full-time. Honestly, he's so much easier to listen to when he's not singing in his horrible singing voice. Sorry, it's true.

Anyway, this joint is hard as fuck! I don't know how long Busta can ride this whole "spit something so fast he may or may not actually be saying words but it sounds good so fuck it" thing out, but I'm enjoying the shit out of it. He and Mystikal should hook back up and do an Iz They Wildin Wit Us & Gettin' Rowdy Wit Us? part 2. E.L.E. 2: End of the World is coming soon, so why the hell not? Exactly.

Joe Budden - Quality Of Life

This isn't going to be on any upcoming project (as far as I know), but it's Joey, so it's worth a listen.


"If by chance I'm past my prime, I'm tryin' to lap it."

I don't know how the fuck he does it, dude is just fucking nice!

B.o.B - 5 On The Kush (feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Bun B)

Before Strange Clouds is released in early 2012, B.o.B. is dropping a new mixtape called EPIC (Every Play Is Crucial). I'm not sure when this project will be coming out, but here's a track off it to get the juices flowing.


I'm not sure why B.o.B is saving this one for the album, but it's better than 75% of the songs that appeared on his debut.

MGK - Wild Boy (feat. Waka Flocka Flame) Video


I'm not sure what purpose Katt Williams served in this video, but I loved it anyway. I don't know if Waka bust old dude over the head with a bottle for comedic effect but that surely didn't stop me from busting out in laughter like he did. It also hyped up the song even more, so kudos to whoever came up with that idea.

Damn, now I'm all crunk on my way to work and shit.

Anyway, check out MGK in the studio with DMX after the jump.

Wale - Lotus Flower Bomb (feat. Miguel) Video


This was a nice little video, for an extremely dope song. I wish they would've delved more into the "Poetic Justice" theme they began with, but good nevertheless.

Oh, and Miguel, that beard doesn't make you look any less gay, if that was what you were going for.

The Brain Storm With Mel Gibson, Jamie Foxx & Garry Shandling


This is some damn good stuff right here. Of course Foxx and Shandling were funny, but Mel Gibson held his own too. And who knew Mel could be likeable again after he went crazy a couple years back? That's wild.

Common - Sweet Video


At first, hearing Common talk reckless on Sweet was odd and a tad off-putting, but now I'm a fan of gangstafied Com. I'm sure this song will get plenty of spins on the Fox News Network the next time Com visits the Obamas at the White House.

Oh, and don't forget The Dreamer, The Believer hits stores December 20th. Hopefully the beat used in the Sweet video teaser (which I thought was gonna be Sweet until I heard Sweet) will be somewhere on the there.

Mac Miller Plays Guitar Live at House Of Blues Las Vegas


I'm not even gonna front like I'm a huge Mac Miller fan, but this video is quite impressive. I mean, of course, he's no Lil Wayne or anything, but I'd say he did a good job.

I wonder where he got that Forrest Gump bench from though? That shit is pretty swag.

New England hadn't not scored 30 points in like a thousand straight games, but since Dallas broke their streak in Week 6, they haven't scored 30 since. Couple that with the fact the Pats haven't beaten the Jets at home since Rex Ryan took over as coach, and oh my God, could Thomas Brady and William Belichick lose 3 straight games?? Oddly, I say yes. Jets winners, Patriots losers.
