Rajon Rondo Suspended For Game 2
If I'm Boston, I'm not too concerned with this suspension. Yeah, it's probably gonna suck playing without your floor general on an already thin team, but I can't stop thinking about 2010 when Kevin Garnett was suspended for Game 2 for elbowing Quentin Richardson and the Celtics won by 29. They can win without Rondo, the Hawks really aren't that good.

President Barack Obama & Jimmy Kimmel At The White House Correspondents' Dinner
Awesome job by the president and whomever wrote his jokes.
Jimmy did a good job as well. Personally, I still can't believe they let him do This Week In Censorship to begin his set.

Derrick Rose Tears ACL, Done For Playoffs
Even with this injury, I still don't think my Heat are just going to breeze through to the Finals. If we can finish off the Knicks (don't think they're gonna shoot 36% from the field with Carmelo going 3-15 for 11 and Amare going 2-7 for 9 every game), we still have to beat a tough young Pacers team, and a Celtics team that isn't one bit afraid of us. Yes, that's a little lighter than having to play the Bulls, but still no easy feat.
Now, a quick message for people blaming Tom Thibodeau for Rose's injury: SHUT THE FUCK UP! Yeah, the Bulls were up 12 with 1:10 left to play, but that doesn't mean you can just take your foot off the gas. Unless you have a ridiculous lead like the Heat today, there's no reason to pull your starters. A few buckets by the Sixers and a few turnovers by the Bulls bench and the lead could've been manageable real quick. That fact that people would even think to blame Thibs is just another reminder of how many people don't know what the fuck they're talking about when it comes to sports.
The last thing I wanted to talk about is the Olympics. With this injury to Rose, and Dwight Howard's back surgery, Team USA is all of a sudden down 2 starters. One more major injury and we could really be in trouble.

2012 NBA Playoff Predictions: Round 1
EASTERN CONFERENCE
Thoughts: I don't know what's going on with Derrick Rose and his assortment of injuries, but the Bulls shouldn't need him to knock out the Sixers.
X-Factor: Evan Turner. He said he liked this match-up the other day, and if he plays like it, the Sixers just might be able to pull off the upset (if Derrick Rose dies).
Prediction: Bulls win in 5.
Thoughts: From the first day I uttered that I didn't want to play the Knicks in the first round, I should've known this match-up was coming. My bad luck is real.
Look, there's no excuse for the Heat to not win this series, but this match-up is the worse case scenario for any of the higher seeds.
X-Factor: Amare Stoudemire's braids. Hopefully Charlamagne Tha God is right when he says people with cornrows don't prosper. (No seriously, my x-factor is Chris Bosh. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will be fine, but I don't know about Bosh and his sore hammy. Thank goodness we might not have to see Tyson Chandler in Game 1 (who are we kidding, there's zero chance he doesn't play tomorrow), but we need Bosh to play big to win.)
Prediction: Heat win in 6.
Thoughts: The Magic don't stand a chance.
X-Factor: The Pacers' focus. There's no reason the Pacers shouldn't sweep the Dwight-less Magic. The only way the Magic can even win one game is if the Pacers happen to overlook them and lose focus after going up 2-0 headed to Orlando.
Prediction: Pacers win in 5.
Thoughts: I'm still totally confused about the seeding in this series. The Hawks had a better records, but the Celtics are the higher seed, but the Hawks have home court advantage. I'm confused.
X-Factor: Avery Bradley. If Bradley can lock down Joe Johnson, the Hawks don't stand a chance.
Prediction: Celtics win in 6.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
Thoughts: There will be no first round exit for the Spurs this year. I totally expect the Spurs to send a message to the rest of the West by destroying the Jazz.
X-Factor: The Jazz's big men. If the Jazz can stop themselves from being dominated down low, they could win one or more. Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap need to pull off their best Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph impressions if they Jazz don't want to get embarrassed.
Prediction: Spurs win in 4.
Thoughts: Western Conference Finals last year, first round match-up this year, how crazy is that?
X-Factor: Vince Carter. Vince is gonna have to play like old Vince if the Mavs even want to steal one game.
Prediction: Thunder win in 5
Thoughts: The young Nuggets are good, but the Lakers are better. As long as Kobe is healthy, I don't see how the Lakers lose. It's not like they're gonna miss Metta World Peace's 7.7 points a game on 39% shooting.
X-Factor: Kenneth Faried. If he dominates Pau Gasol, who knows.
Prediction: Lakers win in 6.
(5) Los Angeles Clippers @ (4) Memphis Grizzlies
Thoughts: At the end of the day, the Grizzlies are too tough on defense for the Clippers, who rely far too much on Chris Paul late in games.
X-Factor: Chris Paul's groin. He says he's going to play, but if he's not actually healthy, this series could be over quick.
Prediction: Grizzlies win in 6.

Metta World Peace Suspended 7 Games For Elbow
Anyway, yep, your boy David Stern finally made a decision, and it was to suspend Metta World
Two quick things before I go: 1) Those crazy Taiwanese animators made a drugged out recreation of this story, and 2) why is James Harden getting a free pass here? I can't be the only one thinking he kinda deserved to get knocked upside the head for his super douchey hair style choice. We don't need any niggas in 2012 still walking around with mohawk. I say good job, Metta.
Kanye West - Way Too Cold

Jadakiss - Paper Tags (feat. Wale, Styles P & French Montana)
Hard body, as to be expected. I'm assuming this record is old (a Rick Ross throwaway maybe?) because French Montana says, "Double-M-G, we got the streets locked," on the hook, and obviously he decided to sign with Bad Boy. Whatever, I just can't wait for this 'tape!
Julian Smith - Buffering
This is so so so so so fucking great! And dude actually has a damn good singing voice. I totally expect this to be over million views by the end of the week.
Alfonso Ribeiro Leads Flash Mob
Even though they found a way to work a couple shitty LMFAO songs in there (like everybody and thing seems to do these days), this was still cool as shit. I especially loved Chubby Black Lady Embarrassingly Dancing In The Wrong Direction off to the left, Weird Green Wig Lady behind Alfonso (Somehow the wig ended up on the ground seconds later so let's just agree that someone knocked it off her head), Way Too Much Forehead Lady With Shades in the front, Don't Worry, I'll Just Hold My Baby Lady to the far left, and of course Chest Bump Bros all the way up front. Good times.

Hoodie Allen: White Drake?
It's funny that I just so happened to check out Hoodie Allen for the first time yesterday, then today when I was preparing for the Thursday Billboard Update tomorrow, I saw that his EP All American debuted at #10 with 28,000 copies sold. Not bad at all for a relatively unknown artist.
Anyway, on this song in particular, Hoodie reminds me a lot of a white version of Drake. Yeah, he sings on it at certain points, but the connection is more because of his flow than the singing.
So what do you think, are you fucking with Hoodie Allen or not? If you are, you can check out more of his music videos on his accidentally pro-Trayvon Martin YouTube channel.

The NFL Releases The 2012 Schedule
You know something else that's crazy? The 15-1 Packers have the 2nd easiest schedule! I know these schedules are put together by a pretty simple formula, but it just seems odd that the best team in the league last year ended up with one of the easiest schedule this year. This totally opens the door for 2 teams going 16-0 next season.
Another thing I noticed was that the Curse of Tebow has already started to kick in because the Broncos have a totally brutal schedule. Six of their first 8 games are against playoff teams last season (Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Houston, New England, New Orleans and Cincinnati)! John Elway and 'nem are about to pay for what they did to Tim Tebow in a major way.
Lastly, I was going to bitch about the Cowboys' schedule, but after further review, I'm fine with it. Yeah, it sucks that 6 of our first 9 games are on the road (including 3 separate sets of back-to-back road games), but that also means 5 of our last 7 games will be at home. We're going to need that shit too because that December stretch of Philly, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, and Washington is just cruel. It also sucks that we have an early bye for the 4th straight year, but fuck it.

2Pac Rises & Performs At Coachella!
Last week Kendrick Lamar spoke with the L.A. Leakers about how amazing Dr. Dre's performance at Coachella was going to be, and after seeing this clip, I feel confident saying he wasn't lying. This 2Pac hologram shit was abso-fucking-lutely incredible! There's no amount of words to express how much cooler Hologram Pac is than Hologram will.i.am. I can't give it up enough to Dre and Snoop for putting this together. This is definitely going down in Hip-Hop history as one of the greatest moments ever.
The only thing that sucks about this (well, besides the renewal of retarded "2Pac is alive and/or coming back" theories) is the fact that even Pac came back before Detox was out.
(Side note: I think it's about time we start trying to shame Dr. Dre into releasing Detox. Maybe we should have the definition of the word "detox" changed to "myth" or start a "Fuck Detox" campaign. Something to get his damn attention.)

Dwight Howard Has A Herniated Disk
The Magic are 1-4 without Dwight this season (which includes losses to the Pistons and Wizards) and have 7 games remaining, so as a Heat fan I have to ask myself if I should be rooting for the Magic to fall to the 7th seed in the playoffs? Right now, the Knicks are 3 games behind them and I would rather play the Magic with an iffy Dwight rather than 'Melo.
I don't know, but just know that if you see the Heat giving minimal effort again tomorrow versus the Knicks, it's likely they were asking themselves the same thing when they heard about this untimely injury.

Plies - We Are Trayvon
I didn't agree with Plies doing this song at first, but it's actually in the top 2 of Plies songs (#1 still being Heard Of Me). There were plenty of comical things in the video (Skittle chalk outline, the awkward thumbs up shared by the cop and Trayvon-esque boy, Plies releasing a dove, etc.), but it's the thought that counts. Big ups to Plies for this.

I actually posted this yesterday on Facebook, but I can't stop watching it and showing it to people. I love me some Sweet Brown!
(Side note: How is the guy who posted this video already partnered with only 340 subscribers?? And that's 340 subscribers right now after 515,000 views of this Sweet Brown video (roughly 80% of his total video views), there's no telling how many he had before. Screw it, I'm gonna go re-apply!)

That is all.
Oh, and did I mention Alisa Reyes is still fine? Oh, I did? Okay, just making sure.

If you paid attention to the end of the video closely, you'll see that it appears the new Slaughterhouse album has been pushed back to June 12th (I'm assuming that means we aren't getting that Joe Budden solo album on June 27th after all). It's all good though, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait... unlike Nicki Minaj's new album.

I still don't know what to say about this nigga Lil Wayne, so I'll let my man Kain Carter handle that.

No, seriously, what the fuck? I really had no idea what was going on or why it was going on besides to make us feel like Drake and Rihanna are really artsy and cool. I feel far more confused than impressed, but I still like the song.

Wow, it seems so weird to see a trailer for a movie that is an original concept. I almost don't know how to react, but you can bet your buns (ladies only) I'll be checking out "Ted" when it hits theaters July 13th.
If you want some more Ted, also check out the red band trailer (that got flagged for some reason...maybe Ted sucking off the candy bar? Who knows).

G.O.O.D. Music - Mercy (feat. Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz)
This shit is pretty tough, but there's a couple thing I just don't get about it:
1. What's with the intense, creepy techno beat that came in when Kanye spit? I don't mind it as much now that I've heard it a few times, but it doesn't make it any less weird.
2. Why is 2 Chainz featured on the track? I know he's one of the "hottest" rappers out, but isn't this supposed to be a G.O.O.D. Music project? There's nothing longer enough rappers on the label to fill up 4 slots? Where was CyHi?
Other than that (and Big Sean's super corny verse), I think this record is dope. Not as dope as Theraflu, but dope nonetheless. Big Sea

When the Diggy Simmons diss track for J. Cole dropped late Saturday night, I started to go off on Diggy for the stupidity of going at Cole for his slight jab on Grew Up Fast.
