Fuck Kelis. That's my first thought after watching this video. My second thought was, damn, if MTV and BET still played music videos, this one would be in heavy rotation, especially if Kelis was still relevant. Another thought I had was who is the Seal/Donald Driver looking brotha singing in the background? I just assumed that was a 90's R&B sample, but apparently not, it was Seanold Driver. (UPDATE: Seanold Driver is actually Aaron Hall...so it is somewhat a 90's R&B sample.) Last thought: he should've burned the dress.

Mr. Ghetto Arrested, Out On Bond
Wow. Thank goodness he's out on bond...but I'm still gonna get my "Free Mr. Ghetto" shirt ready just in case. Hell, I might even change my fantasy team name Free Mr. Ghetto? It's a thought.
Anyway, check out Mr. Ghetto talking about his situation here.

Lupe Fiasco - Lamborghini Angels
I had this song playing and wasn't paying attention then I heard, "Told him take off all his clothes and put ya penis next to mine." That snapped me back into like a Chad Johnson head-butt to the temple. This song is much deeper than I anticipated, but that's Lupe for you, and I love it. Can't wait for Food & Liquor 2!
Baby Got Back Sung By The Movies
I'd be stunned if this didn't have a million views by the end of the week, and it absolutely deserves every last one.

Brotherly Love 2
Brotherly Love 1 came out 11 months ago and we finally got the sequel. Hopefully it doesn't take another 11 months to get the next part.
As far as this one goes, I liked it. Not much comedy, but it was plenty interesting. Hell, maybe I need to go to video editing school like he did because the action scene was on point.

Ab-Soul - Black Lip Bastard (Black Hippy Remix)
I haven't posted many music videos this year, but this track is so ridiculously hard that it's necessary. Kendrick and Jay Rock? Man, they murked this shit!
Can we get a TDE compilation album?
Idiocracy 101: Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu, Kicked Off LSU's Football Team
Well, if you're Tyrann Mathieu, you violate both school and team rules and get kicked out the the football program. Yes, he fucked his money up, now he can't suit up. Smart! Oh well, Honey Badger don't give a shit.
Now while this is bad news for Tyrann (the only way he could play next year is if he transfers to a Division I-AA school, if he transfers to another Division I-A, he has to sit out a year), this is great news for NFL teams. He was probably going pro after this season anyway, but now teams won't have to spend a top 10 pick, or maybe not even a first-rounder, to get him. It'll be like Janoris Jenkins all over again.

Chiefs Of Staff With Mystikal Ep. 4
I really shouldn't watch these because I get super hyped hearing Mystikal's flow and really who knows if his album will ever see the light of day? This is Cash Money we're talking about after all.
Ryan Mathews Out 4-6 Weeks With Broken Collarbone
Speaking of injuries that affect fantasy football, Michael Vick gave folks a scare last night when he accidently slammer his hand against his center's helmet and hurt his thumb. X-rays were negative and Vick said he felt much better after the game, so hopefully he'll be ready for the season. Wait, what am I saying? I'm a Cowboy fan, I hope his thumb falls off!

Dwight Howard Finally Traded To Lakers In 4-Team Deal
This 4-teamer breaks down like this: the Lakers obviously get Dwight Howard and also Chris Duhan and Earl Clark, the Sixers get Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, the Nuggets get Andre Iguodala, and the Magic get... Aaron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless, and first-round picks from all 3 teams (you know, because anytime you can get the first round picks of playoff teams, you've got to do it).
Good Lord, Orlando's new GM (Rob Hennigan) is just as bad as their old one (Otis Smith); there's no way this was the best deal they could get for Dwight Howard. Brooklyn's last offer in July was at least 30% better than this.
Seriously, why in the fuck you would make this trade if you're Orlando? For the other 3 teams it makes perfect sense, but for Orlando? None. Think about it, they brought the most to the most to the table and left with the least. For Orlando, this trade is the equivalent of bringing all the alcohol to a party and ending up being the only dude with a dry dick at the end of the night. Yeah, you helped out your buddies get some action, but at the end of the day you're still going home to angrily beat off. Oh, and you're broke. Orlando would've been better off drinking all the booze at home until they were eventually gone like Howard would've been next summer. You'd still be a loser, but at least you don't have blue balls.
As for the Lakers and they're fans, calm the hell down. Yes, you just got the best center in the game, but unless Orlando is throwing in a pair of new knees for Kobe and a new back for Steve Nash, they're not winning shit. Besides, why would Bynum want to sign a long term extension to stay in L.A.? Yeah, it's L.A. and not Orlando, but you're still going home in the first or second round of the playoffs every year until Kobe retires, in which case you'll definitely never make it out of the first round. (Side note: This isn't the cue for Mavericks fans to get excited because why would Dwight take less money to play with 35 year-old Dirk? Exactly.)
Was the trade worth it for the Lakers? Yes, Andrew Bynum's best season (18.7 points per game on 56% shooting, 11.8 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 2011-12) still wasn't better than Dwight Howard's half-assed "I don't want to be here" season (20.6 ppg on 57% shooting, 14.5 rpg, and 2.1 bpg in 2011), BUT you're still not winning anything because Kobe is no longer Kobe.
In my opinion, the big winning in this deal is Philly. They finally got rid of Andre Iguodala and brought in a real center (sorry Kwame, but there's always handball) for about the same money (Iggy is making $14.7 million in 2012, Bynum is making $14.9 million) and a veteran scorer. Obviously this all goes to hell if Bynum doesn't sign an extension and/or his knee fail him again (he's only played all 82 games once in 7 seasons), but it's worth the risk because they were going nowhere fast with Iggy as their best player.
Last thing, what would piss off/anger Lakers fans most: Dwight leaving next summer, Dwight never being the same again after his back surgery, or David Stern vetoing this trade for "basketball reasons" tomorrow morning? I've got my money on the Stern veto.

Thursday Billboard Update - 8/9/12
Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe gets its 9th week atop the Hot 100, the longest run at #1 in 2012. Though I could care less about Carly Rae Jepsen, this begs the question "Why doesn't she have an album out?" Again, I don't care about her music, it just seems odd that someone with such a strong stench of one-hit wonder has no album out, even after 9 weeks at #1. (Side note: Don't front like you can't see yourself in 2022 watching "I Love The '10s: 2012 Edition" on VH3 and saying, "Hey, remember her?" when Call Me Maybe is discussed.)

Kevin Hart Hosting The VMAs
While this is obviously excellent news, I have to ask why it didn't happen sooner? There was no host last year and Kevin Hart kept coming out and doing things, so why not just have had him hosting last year too? Oh well, I'm still happy for the new King of Comedy.
I'm also happy for my Dallas Cowboys because MTV clearly moved the VMAs up to a Thursday to distract me from the Cowboys-Giants season opener. What they hadn't anticipated was the NFL deciding to bump the game up to Wednesday so it wouldn't conflict with the Democratic National Convention.
Ha! In your face, MTV!
I don't care what anybody says, one of the higher-ups at MTV hates the Cowboys and is doing this shit on purpose. If the NFL hadn't bumped the game up a day, it would've been the 3rd time since 2007 the VMAs coincided with the Dallas Cowboys season opener. Coincidence? I think not.
(Side note: I wonder how much the Romney campaign had to pay MTV to randomly move the VMAs to Thursday for the first time sine 2006 to distract from the DNC?)
