Wow, an actually freestyle is oh so rare these days, I almost don't know how to react to it. Well whether you like it or not, we all should just be happy he didn't come spit a few verses from his album and spoil that song for us in advance.

Random News Shit: NBA Trade Edition
I know the nigga allegedly ran Jerry Sloan out of town, but gotdamn.
Man, how does a trade of this magnitude go under the radar like it did these days? I mean, all the NBA insiders were all over the James Johnson to Toronto trade, but nobody knew about this shit until a short while before it happened. Deron was still with the Jazz when my meeting at work this morning started, and by the time it wrapped up he was a Net. That's so insane to me.
Okay, while I try to wrap my brain around this trade happening seemingly out of nowhere, let's discuss the details of the transactions:
Nets get: Deron Williams, Dan Gadzuric, and Brandan Wright
Jazz get: Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and cash considerations
Warriors get: Troy Murphy and a second-round pick in 2012
At first look at this trade it felt like the Nets gave up too much, but upon further review, I think this was a bit of a steal. (Well, besides the fact that from all account Deron Williams isn't at all happy about this trade and probably won't re-sign in 2012, and all.) Devin Harris is good, but he's no Deron Williams; that first round pick will most likely be hit or miss regardless with this weak upcoming draft class; and as far as Derrick Favors goes, I've never been impressed by him when I saw him play. Personally, I don't think he'll ever become a good player, but how bad did he have to look in practice that the Nets have given up on him already? I know Mikhail Prokhorov really wanted a superstar and all, but damn, the kid is a rookie. Oh well, I guess he looked at Andrew Bynum and all the other guys people always say have potential that never pan out and said fuck it.
2) Hawks & Wizards Swap Bibby & Hinrich
Here are the details:
Hawks get: Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong
Wizards get: Mike Bibby, Jordan Crawford, Maurice Evans, and a first-round pick
I understand why the Hawks would do this trade, but why would the Wizards? They get Mike Bibby, 2 scraps, and a late first-rounder in a weak draft. How did they improve exactly?
3) Carmelo, Billups Help Knicks Get A Win In NY Debut
Sadly they had to make their debut in those wack Knicks throwback jerseys, but other than that, it was a pretty good night. Melo hit 27 and grabbed 10 boards (though he took 25 shots and only made 10) while Billups chipped in with 21 points and 8 assists.
Get Familiar With OhGinelle
You gotta love that Tight Up Skirt joint, and not just because of the video (though still a lot being of the video, I mean gotdamn).
Lupe Fiasco - L.A.S.E.R.S. Manifesto
I was just going through my YouTube subscriptions again tonight and stumbled upon this. Do you realize we're just 2 weeks out from Lasers dropping? Yeah, and 1 week from it hitting the internets. Where has the time gone? Oh well, more reason to catch up with my music now because a Lasers review is definitely on the horizon.
Eminem - Things Get Worse (feat. B.o.B)
Figure the album out? I'm sure you did. This record is definitely cold...and not in the hot way (if that makes any sense). Matter of fact, I'm not sure why I'm posting it other than because this is FiyahMuZik.com and I hardly ever post music anymore. Give me a few weeks to catch up with everything and we'll try again.
Donnell Rawlings Speaks On Dave Chappelle & Charlie Murphy With Young Jack
I know this isn't the first time Donnell has spoke on the situation with "Chappelle's Show," but I'm still surprised this hasn't become a bigger deal on the internet than it has. Seems like more people would give a damn about this than actually do. Can you believe it's been 6 years since season 2? That's just insane. Come back to us Dave, and no not via that fake ass Twitter account.

Bad Teacher Trailer
Damn, this shit looks funny as FUCK! I'm impressed. I can honestly say I cannot wait to see this movie. Cameron Diaz seemed to channel her inner Billy Bob Thornton and made this role her bitch. Oh, and yes her saying she loved watching porn on Jimmy Kimmel Live a few minutes ago totally influenced my opinion. You know, just in case you're wondering.
Hey, was that Gibby from "iCarly" that said holy shit at the car wash about 1:43 into this trailer? Also, was he wearing a Michael Vick Falcons jersey? I'm almost positive I saw that. Nice and nice!
You Just Got Knocked The FUCK Out!
I meant to post this the other day, but man, what a failure this guy is LMAO!
Twerk Team Got It
Yo, this is hands down the best Twerk Team video since dark skin homegirl got pregnant and left. Partly because they didn't talk at the beginning and just dance, and partly because they just went the fuck in. I love it! Girls, do this again. PLEASE!
Jon Lajoie - Very Super Famous
Hilarious as usual. How am I just now seeing this? It's already a million views deep and shit. I'm fuckin' up! Oh well, enjoy.

Carmelo Finally A Knick
Knicks get: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.
Nuggets get: Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks' 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash.
Poor Michelle Trachtenberg. If I'm the Knicks I'm overall happy right now. Yeah, we just got rid of our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 12th best players AND won't have any room to bring any new pieces around our new players over the summer, but you got Carmelo. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters right? Right. Welp, hopefully Amare has more than a season or 2 left in those knees.
Aight, see ya in Miami Sunday, Melo.
(Side note: Jay-Z might wanna miss Mikhail Prokhorov's next few phone calls and lay low for awhile.)
