I'm sure it would be an awful movie filled with awful acting... but I'd love to see it.

The Sad Aftermath Of The Auto-Tune Era
One of the many downsides of the Auto-Tune Era (2006-2010) is that there would eventually come a day when you'd have to sing your song live without it, and possibly sound even worse than the cheap effect made it sound in the first place.
Generally, this concern would only come into play for folks who thought they could be singers because of it, like T-Pain, but deep down in the dark ages that I've dubbed the Auto-Tune Era, a rapper made a full album of auto-tuned singing and called it 808s & Heartbreak. The rapper I'm speaking of? Sadly, Kanye West. (Side note: I'm only recapping this because I assume you all have suppressed any memory of 808s & Heartbreak's existence into the deepest, darkest, and least visited corners of your mind, like me.)
Here's a video of Kanye West at Coachella in 2011 attempting to sing one of his atrocities from 808s & Heartbreak auto-tuneless.
Sad, sad, sad. Kanye wanted to be able to sing so bad in this video, but reality just wouldn't let him, and he literally ended up screaming at the end. Enough to bring a tear to a grown man's eye (Side note: whether that tear is a tear of sadness or a tear of laughter is entirely up to you).
I know it's cool to make fun of Drake because of his singing ways, but next time you go to crack a (most likely bad) joke about him, just remember that there are guys like Kanye who would kill to have his vocal ability in this post-auto-tune world we're living in. You remember, and you remember good.
Need Space
This is so great to me and definitely one of those videos where I have to wonder why I didn't think to do it first. Oh well, good stuff.
If you enjoyed that bit of Kassem and Nick, check out this other video of them doing girl talk on Nick's channel.

Chris Rock Produces A DeshawnRaw Sketch Show Pilot For Comedy Central
I know a big deal hasn't been made about this, but this is absolutely huge for the YouTube community. I really hope Comedy Central picks up the show and it does well because that would be 2 for 2 for YouTubers on the network (the guys from Workaholics were discovered on YouTube), which opens up even more doors.
So Comedy Central, please pick up D-Raw! I mean, it couldn't be any worse than Key & Peele, and y'all gave them a 2nd season. Think about it.

INN: 13 Year-Old Rapper Highlights Why I Hate Niggas
If you thought the Booty Pop kid was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. Black people, prepare yourself to feel the sudden urge to abandon your race.
I hate niggas, I swear. Like for real, this isn't even funny, it's just fucking sad and disgusting.
I felt bad about all the shootings and killings in Chicago recently, but hell, maybe it's for the best?
Somebody's Gonna Get Pregnant: Michelle Jenneke
I know few things about Michelle Jenneke besides that she is an Australian hurdler (and that I love her), but I really hope she's competing in the Olympics this year.
Surprise! Havoc Finally Admits To Sending Those Infamous Tweets
So I guess they're done going with the "Havoc lost his phone" story, huh? Good, acting like we didn't know the tweets were sent from a computer and not a cell phone was getting weird.

Thursday Billboard Update - 7/26/12
Sadly, it's back to a lot of nothing on the Hot 100 this week.
Now give me a moment to highlight the random hypocrisy of Billboard. This week Frank Ocean's Channel Orange fell to #4 with 54,000 sold in its 2nd week, but those numbers don't include sales from Amazon because they sold it for $2.99 this past week. Billboard is alleging that it's their policy to disallow sales to count toward chart placement if the album is sold below its $3.49 minimum in the first 4 weeks of release. Wait, what? Just last June Lady Gaga's Born This Way set a then record for largest percentage sales drop in Billboard history. Born This Way fell 84.27% in its 2nd week largely because its first week sales were artificially enhanced by Amazon offering it for just 99¢ at times during the first week. So when Amazon sold Lady Gaga's album for 99¢ in its first week it was okay, but when they sold Frank Ocean's for $2.99 in its second week, all of a sudden there's a Billboard policy that says its not allowed? I call bullshit, unless they changed the policy immediately after the Lady Gaga debacle.

Chiefs Of Staff With Mystikal Ep. 2 & 3
Not sure why episode 2 never showed up in my sub box on YouTube, but I'm assuming it didn't show up with many, judging by the 0 comments it has. Episode 3 just came out today and it has 8. Not much still, but you get my point.
Gotdamn I need that track playing in the back like yesterday!

Boxer Fakes Marriage Proposal
I don't fuck with boxing after that Pacquiao-Bradley bullshit, but I like this guy Adrien Broner! Yeah, I've only known about him for about 10 minutes now, but that's not the point, the dude is already one of my favorites.
The only thing I didn't like about this video was the look on baby girl's face when Broner stood up and said he was too young for marriage. First she had on a fake smile then abandoned that shit almost immediately. I actually felt bad for her. I mean, I don't know how long they've been together (he said it was a "new relationship" at the beginning), but...ahh fuck it, the shit was still funny to me lol.

Blake Griffin To Miss Olympics
The good news is that Blake is expected to be ready by the time NBA training camp starts in October, so he won't his the beginning of the season...well, unless he tears it again, but let's all hope that doesn't happen.
Blake will be permanently replaced on the Olympic roster by roster Anthony Davis.

And as usual, a lot of nothing happened in the top 10 of the Hot 100.
Random News Shit: NBA Free Agency Today Edition
The Nets just saved the Magic from themselves because they were about to make a HUGE mistake sending Dwight Howard to New Jersey for Brook Lopez, a few late first round picks, and some scraps. The Magic need to just go ahead and trade the man to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum, which is the only trade that ever made any sense in the first place.
Just in case Blake Griffin needed some extra motivation to Vince Carter someone in the London Olympics, the Clips just gave him 95 million worth.
I admit, this is probably not the smarter basketball move, but business-wise, it makes perfect sense.
3) Nets Re-sign Brook Lopez To Max Contract
I know a lot of people are killing the Nets for giving Brook Lopez this deal, but to be fair to them, anytime you can give a 7-footer who averages 3.6 rebounds per game a $60 million contract, you've got to do it.

Random News Shit: NBA Free Agency Pre-Today Edition
1) Deron Williams Decides To Stay With The Nets
You mean to tell me Deron didn't decide to take $25 million less to play for his hometown team? I'm shocked! Of course a large part of his decision had to do with...
2) Hawks Trade Joe Johnson To The Nets
I never thought I'd see the day the Hawks were able to unload Joe Johnson's atrocious contract, but it really happened. Every Hawks fan in Atlanta should be offering Danny Ferry blowjobs from their wives and/or girlfriends. (Then again knowing Atlanta, I guess should've thrown "boyfriends" in there too.)
Anyway, the trade sends Jordan Farmar, Johan Petro, Anthony Morrow, DeShawn Stevenson, and a 2013 first-round pick (Houston's pick) for Joe Johnson. I hope DeShawn Stevenson's ATM is portable because I'm sure it'll come in handy at the many strip clubs in the ATL.
3) Steve Nash Headed To Lakers In Sign-and-Trade
This move would've been awesome if it was made 5 years ago. The Lakers should be better with Nash, but they still won't be able to beat the Thunder. It'll be interesting seeing Kobe playing with an All-Star point guard for once though.

Barack Obama - 99 Problems Parody
This video was a victim of my sub box on YouTube because it came out last week, but never showed up. Luckily, the preview he put out a few days prior to uploading this one did show up, so I thought to look back for it, and there it was.
Anyway, very good job again by Alphacat and I'm glad to see he's back to work (though I'm sure he never really stopped working).
INN: Booty Pop, Strawberry & Wheelchair Grindin!
Sigh.
If I told you I could look out of my window and see the pool this video was shot at, would you believe me? Well sadly, it's true, but at least I had nothing to do with it. Florida is fuckin' up! I pray this was done in the name of comedy.
Again I say, Florida is fuckin' up! Oh well, at least this one wasn't shot outside of my window. I guess I can hang my hat on that.
Speaking of hanging onto things, Strawberry needs to hang onto a diet. At the very least, she needs to hang onto a new wardrobe because not one article of clothing she's wearing is made for her body type.
What the entire fucking fuck?!
All I can say is at least this didn't happen in Florida.
