Plies - Just (The Tip) (feat. Jeremih & Ludacris)
I know I'm late on this song, but what the fuck? Plies is sooooo ass! Seriously, what is wrong with this nigga, and why won't he just kill his damn self already? And you know the worst part? Outside of the retarded concept, this song wouldn't even be all that bad minus Plies. You know you've hit rock bottom when that's the case.... and also when I hear your song and think "That would've been a good idea for a Young Real Nigga song."
Oh well, at least the height of his career has passed and we're close living the rest of day Plies-free.

BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher Rankings
1) Kendrick Lamar
2) B.o.B
3) Big K.R.I.T.
4) Machine Gun Kelly
5) Tech N9ne
Bar for bar, I've got to give it to Kendrick Lamar. Dude is just nice. Next I have to give it up to B.o.B for showing everybody that he's a real MC, and not just a pop star (Side note: I wonder what B.o.B did at 3:32 when he was setting up that special needs line to make BET take the camera off of him? The retarded man bend wrist chest smack thing? Who's to know.) Coming in 3rd I have to give it up to K.R.I.T. He didn't go for punchlines and just spit some real nigga shit. Fourth is Machine Gun Kelly, who despite having a nice flow, made a couple of missteps (Rhyming "Cobain's back" with each other 3 times?). And bringing up the rear is Tech N9ne, who totally squandered his first appearance on BET since Sway and Tech's The Anthem back in 1999.
1) Busta Rhymes
2) Reek Da Villain
3) Ludacris
4) 2 Chainz
It was a close race between Busta Rhymes and Reek Da Villain, but I had to give it to Busta because he embodied exactly what you'd want from a cypher, from lyrics to delivery. Reek is clearly #2, and he's followed up by Ludacris at #3, who nearly loss points for his wild pronunciation of Zach Galifianakis' name. The #4 spot almost went to Premo's laptop or Luda's headphones because 2 Chainz brought pretty much nothing to the table here. Ultimately, I decided to just give him 4th place (and last overall) instead of 5th or 6th, but only because he changed his name from Tity Boi to 2 Chainz (even though for some reason he thought it'd be a good idea to rock 3 chains the day this was filmed).
1) Skillz
2) Lady Of Rage
3) Blind Fury
4) Dom Kennedy
You have to give this one to Skillz. You've just got to. In fact, it was almost predetermined he was going to have the hardest bars in his group as soon as BET called him to do it. Checking in at #2 is Lady Of Rage, who was shockingly quite impressive. Blind Fury did his thing as well, so he gets the 3 spot, and last was Dom Kennedy, who really didn't bring much to the table.
1) Pill
2) Meek Mill
3) Rick Ross
4) Stalley
5) Wale
The surprise upset first place goes to Pill! Who would've thunk it? Nobody, but he made it happen. Congrats. Next up is Meek Mill, though his raw Philly style carried him more so than his lyrics. I wasn't expecting much from Ross here, but he ripped it so he gets third. Stalley was nice, but he needed a little more energy, so that's good for 4th. Bringing up the rear is Wale. His verse didn't suck, he was just the 5th best on this occasion.
1) Lecrae
2) Nitty Scott
3) Estelle
4) Soprano
Lecrae blazed it and showed that a Christian rapper can be nice as hell too. He gets the #1 spot. Coming in #2 has got to be Nitty Scott, whom which I'd like to exchange numbers with and possible take out on a date. Third is Estelle, but it was by default because I refuse to sit and read Soprano's (I'm assuming) fourth place lyrics.
1) Kevin McCall
2) Tyga
3) Chris Brown
4) Ace Hood
I thought Kevin McCall was a singer? Clearly I had him mixed up with somebody else because dude is nice, and for that, he gets first place. Second goes to Tyga, who has improved more lyrically in the last 2-3 years than anyone I can recall. I mean, dude was completely wack back in 2008, but now he's almost nice. Next I'll give props to Chris Brown, who is 10x the rapper he is singer. Last place goes to Ace Hood, but it's not because he sucked, it's just because the others did better. Ace was just fine, and I'm just proud he remembered his rhyme this time.
1) Eminem
2) Joe Budden
3) Royce Da 5'9"
4) Crooked I
5) Yelawolf
6) Joell Ortiz
This is easily the greatest cypher in the history of the BET Hip-Hop Awards, and it's truly a shame somebody had to come in last in my rankings. For starters, Eminem is just out of this world lyrically. To this date, NOBODY can flip rhymes the way he can and that was on full display in this video. Coming in at #2 is Joe Budden as he remains the most underrated rapper, possibly ever. Royce is 3rd because not only did he murder his verse, but "Hi Rihanna" is still a trending topic on Twitter nearly 24 hours later. Crooked I gets 4th place for his killer bars, while Yelawolf and Joell Ortiz bring up the rear with sick verses that just weren't on the level of the lead 4, but still good as hell. Damn, that was tough.
Illest of the Night: Eminem
Runner Up: Joe Budden
Wackest of the Night: 2 Chainz
Runner Down: Tech N9ne

Ludacris Names His Mixtape
You know what? Luda might want to look into switching his album title and mixtape title around because 1.21 Gigawatts is waaaaaay iller than Ludaversal. I'm actually shocked this is the first time anyone thought to name their project that.
July 17, 2011
Ludacris Releasing New Mixtape Before Ludaversal
Ludaversal is supposed to be dropping at some point in 2012, but before the album Luda is planning on putting out a new mixtape with all new material. Fast forward to about 1 minute into the video to hear him speak on it.
Personally, I rather hear a Luda mixtape full of random freestyles (like 2008's The Preview), but I'll take any new Luda music so it's all good.

Fast & Furious 5??
Though I never saw parts 3 or 4, one of my favorite thing to come from this series was Bill Simmons and Adam Carolla's review of it after seeing it last Spring. It was a classic BS Report. Matter of fact, let's run back an old classic. Enjoy.
We GOTTA get another review from these guys after FF5's release!
Good news though, we might not have to wait that long to get another review. On The Adam Carolla Monday, Adam talked about going to see "The Expendables" (in theaters August 13th) with Bill. Will we definitely get a review of it, I'm not sure, but fingers crossed.

Ludacris - Sex Room (feat. Trey Songz) Video
Wait a minute, so those girls went into Ludacris' sex room and one came out with a goatee?? He wanted a dude in his sex room?? Uhh, I don't think I wanna know what else is going down in that sex room lol.
Seriously though, those were some FINE ass women!
April 22, 2010
Ciara - Ride (feat. Ludacris)
Okay, that's it, I'm convinced Ciara is the best fuck in the game today, and possibly over the past 20 years. This video is the sex equivalent to the NFL combine, and I'm the Mel Kiper Jr. of the sex draft, urging you to take Ciara #1 overall!
See, CiCi is like that player who you underestimate because of their body, but wows you when you see them in action. That's the kind of stuff that gets you shot up the (sex) draft boards of every team. The athleticism, the flexibility, the clean shaved crotch, if you're looking for a woman to put it on you so good you shed a tear after sex after hollin' her name for the past hour, then Ciara Harris is your sex draft pick. She's Peyton Manning in '98, you can't miss.

Thursday Billboard Update - 3/18/10
Ludacris earns himself another #1 as Battle Of The Sexes sales 137,300 in its first week in stores. The animated band Gorillaz comes in at #2 with 112,300 sold of their Plastic Beach album.
Taking of the #1 spot on the Hot 100 is Rihanna's Rude Boy. This should surprise no one. Making his first appearance in the top 10 is B.o.B as his hit Nothin' On You featuring Bruno Mars gets a 11 spot boost 16-5. He might give Rihanna a run for that top spot in a few weeks.

The Winners & Losers Of Rip The Runway
Winners: Nicki Minaj's plastic surgeon (he actually got paid to do that to her nose); Nicki Minaj's butt pads; Trina's REAL ass...damn!; B.o.B; fat girls; Bruno Mars' likeness to Tay Zonday; rubber basketballs; Dwight Eubanks (his flamboyant gayness will get him his own show somewhere...or at the least a few more spots on BET over the next few years); malnourishment (I pray Luda didn't request these sickly looking models walk during his set); Shaqnosis sneakers (it must've taken at least 50 pairs to make Nicki's My Chick Bad performance outfit); Janelle Monae's performance and ass (surprisingly nicely shaped...or were those them butt pads at work again??); Vanessa aka "Subway to Runway" girl; Dwight's decision to make Vanessa wear those booty shorts!
Losers: Whoever dressed Estelle in that bullshit; ponytails; horses and now bald-headed girls in India who made it possible for all these wack ass Rapunzel-length ponytails to exist; whoever dressed Estelle again because somebody else came out in that same ugly ass dress; Nicki Minaj's nose; fake British accents; shoulder pads; masculinity; black people (Tiny & Toya coming back for a 2nd season); pink wigs; mohawks (black people, let it go, its over); And1; pink wigs again; Nicki Minaj's stylist or lack there of; dudes who think that's really Nicki Minaj's ass and hips; girls who think Nicki Minaj's outfits look good; basicness; stamina and going low (Luda's dancer got a little winded there at the end); women's shoes (I'd hate to see my girl wearing 80% of those ugly ass shoes).
Like before, if you have any to add, leave them in the comments.
March 09, 2010
This Week In Flops 3/9/10
Now as far as the album sales goes, this should be interesting. Ever since Luda debuted the track at the BET Hip-Hop Awards last fall, How Low has been buzzing in the streets, and now on mainstream radio as it rests in the top 10 on the Hot 100. We'll soon see how much that even matters because Sade has dominated the Billboard 200 the last few weeks and Soldier Of Love never even sniffed the top 40 (though they do play the music video a lot on VH1 Soul...I know, meaningless information lol).
The album has received a decent amount of buzz with all the remixes and tracks floating around the internets, but I don't know how smart it was to drop an album on "National R.I.P. B.I.G. Day." I mean, Def Jam had to know all of everyone's attention would be on Biggie today. Maybe they thought they didn't need all of their sales days to have an impact?? Who knows the logic of record labels these days.
My guess for this, uhhh, compilation album (?), is 160-200k.
March 04, 2010
Thursday Billboard Update - 3/4/10

Ludacris - How Low Video
Yes, we are only in the first month of the year, but I think we have the "Video Of The Year" winner right here ladies and gents. Amazing! It would be a perfect 10, but the Uncut days are over so there was no reason for Luda to take it "too far" with this video like he certainly could have. Not to mention its a top 10 single, so you probably want a clean-ish video that can play on TV...if you can find a TV show that still shows music videos.
