It could not wait any longer, the water I mean...

Presenting: Da Drought III, a mixtape released by one of rap's most colorful lyricists, Lil' Wayne. This is one of the best albums that has been released this year and I think all should have it as soon as possible. Other contributors, please excuse my haste, I just thought that it was imperative for the readers to get this album as soon as possible. It is two discs of pure awesome.

Da Drought III

Presenting the Creator of Philthy Rich Records...

Given that we're a little less than a week from what could be as Bill Simmons wrote "the last big boxing match in a long time" I figured it was time for you all to see some highlights. And since I am rooting for Pretty Boy Floyd and expect him to kick De La Hoya's ass, you're getting his highlights. Check out and pay attention to the end part when the music cuts out. It might be the cockiest move in history.

And watch Mayweather vs. De La Hoya 24/7 on HBO tonight to get hyped for the fight.

Slim...

Slim Charles, Anwan Glover, Big G. You may only know him by one name (Slim Charles), but this DC local has many other talents besides acting. As some of you may know, he is also one of the founding members of a Go-Go band in Washington DC known as the Backyard Band. I want to start off with a video of the band playing a concert that looks like it is for a local TV show. Anwan is the tall vocalist in the front.



Now, the goods. The two albums are live concerts. The first is called Skillet, and the second is a called Live 8-5-01. The last one is very special. It is a live concert from 1993 that had Tupac as a special guest star. Here it is: 8-19-93

Funny or Die

Will Ferrell recently created a new website, Funny or Die, which is devoted solely to user-submitted videos.
There's a lot of funny stuff here, but also a lot of crap. It's basically YouTube meets eBaumsworld.

Here is the "flagship" of the site, a movie staring Will himself, his friend Adam McKay, and McKay's cute-as-a-really-cute-button daughter, Pearl.

(EDIT: Since the video started playing everytime you opened the site, I took off the embedded version so you can watch anything else played without being annoyed. Go to the top link to watch the video, titled "The Landlord".)


What a babe.

They Call Him Killa for a reason...

I saw this article on drudgreport.com (the site is linked through the blog) and I had to put this up. It seems like Killa Cam's name has taken on a new meaning. The headline is PLATINUM SELLING RAPPER TELLS '60 MINUTES': WOULDN'T HELP POLICE CATCH EVEN A SERIAL KILLER BECAUSE IT WOULD HURT HIS BUSINESS AND VIOLATE HIS 'CODE OF ETHICS' . Once you don't turn in a serial killer do you even have a code of ethics. What fits in that code of ethics? honestly am speechless.

On a seperate Cam'ron note check out the Cam'Ron rhymebook found on Oh Word. That shit is priceless.

The Shadiest One (DJ Hart Mixtape Series Vol. 1)

This is the first of a series of brand new mixtapes that I got in store. I hope you're looking forward to a new Weezy mixtape in the next few days amongst others. The first in the series is WC- West Side Heavy Hitters. It kinda reminds me of Dedication 2 because WC raps over a bunch of beats from other big songs (Ante Up, Got it Twisted) and has some of his older well known songs (Bow Down, Gangsta Nation). I would say a very quality mixtape by the Ghetto Heisman and you guys should all download this. If you don't know who WC is (Square?) he did the song on the Streets that was on the Left Side CD. If you know what I mean.

Get It Twisted

Look for more of the same in the next few days (If anyone knows of a mixtape they wanna hear let me know and i'll try to put it up)

Medley Time!

The third in a three-part study of the ever-difficult life of an athlete/rapper.

Next up: Rappers that play sports...? Maybe not.

Bienvenue Dans Le Texas – Tony Parker

Holy Shit! Not at all what I was expecting. Super grimy southern-beat laced with club-popping synth and heavy bass...
Verdict? Tony Parker go! Yeah!

Can’t Be Touched – Roy Jones Jr.

Prolly one of the best songs, ever. Pumps you up, gets you out your seat. You know those conversations that come up multi-annually (...word?), the ones about if you could have a theme-song to your life what would it be? Or if you were an MLB closer what would your entrance music be? Or a WWE wrestler?
Yeah, well, this one has to be up there, no matter the situation.

If Your Bitch Knew – 7^th Floor Crew

If you don’t have this already—you need it. It’s a less intelligent, more skeezy version of Too Shorts epic “Freaky Tales”. 9 minutes of pure Miami Hurricane football. Except take out the “football” and put in “ludicrously vivid raps about everyone on the 7^th floor running trains on girls”.

Some excerpts:

She thought 52 was just my number then she realized,
You multiply the bitch up and get my dick size.
First I put it in the pussy and then in the butt,
It’s all closed up, the condom is filled up.

-Tavares “T-Good” Gooden. This guy has the worst flow. Ever. Period. Shit. Wow.

Whats your name?
Dub-C.
What you do?
Trick-or-Treat.
How you do it?
Check the bag and find my wee-wee.

-Willie “Dub-C” Cooper gettin’ ultra-cheeky!!!
Only to be outdone by Jon “Big Beas” Beason…

What’s your name?
Big Beas.
What you do?
Skeet Skeet.
How you do it?
Bust a nut, aim for her mouth-piece.

I love this fucking song. I fucking love this song. I love fucking this song! Chya!

Thus concludes my journey in to the world of athlete/rappers. What did we learn? They really can’t rap. But with their money, don’t be surprised if they can get a good enough producer to pump out some semi-catchy tracks.
No matter what, they’re usually just really fucking funny.

Vacation has finally ended after a glorious week, and school is back in session. But so is the blog!
Over, Oveur.

Damn, David Stern!

The second in a three-part study on the ever-difficult life of an athlete/rapper.

Honestly, this dude is fucking out of his mind. I don't know how much stuff to believe on Wikipedia, but I mean, come one. Coming to practice in a bathrobe? Saying "I told [Bonzi Wells] if he leaves, then I'm going to kill him. Unless he wants to die [he's going to stay with the Kings]"?
That's cool.
I guess.

Now, to the good shit.
I started listening to My World, and not unlike Shaq Diesel, the first song, I admit, impressed. Catchy beat with a decent chorus, I really started to get high hopes for the album. Selling around 300 units in the first week (for those of you who don't know, that's really, really, really, really, shit-on-my-brains-diarrhea-fart bad), I began to wonder; why all the negativity?

Then the "Tru Warier" took the mic.

Haterz

So many gems...

How was I supposed to know he was gon throw beer,
Hit me in the head and I gon run up the stairs?
Touched the wrong person, Steve Jack had my back,
O'Neal and AJ with the counter-attack.

Ok, so this I was kind of expecting. Rapping about the brawl is kinda tight; I am one of the people who felt ZERO remorse for the retards in the stands who decided it would be a good idea to throw beer and 'bows at a 6'7" psychotic basketball player. If you're at a bar, in the street, whatever, and you do the same thing...you best get out the ice and call the meat wagon.

But Tru Warier continues...

Didn't plan none of this, but condemned for all,
They did the same to Jesus
So why I be treated different?

OK, for starters; did he just rhyme "Jesus" and "Different"? Cool. And secondly; did he just compare himself to fucking Jesus? Holy fuck. Honestly, I...no comment.

Some other heavy shit:

David Stern? Damn, David Stern!
I gotta teach you 'bout the ghetto there's some things you should learn.

I admit I used to smoke right before games.

Big ups, Mr. Artest. Big, big ups.

Basically, after that, it sucks. No good beats, from what I could gather, no good lines, nothing. There is a skit where he pretends to be some sort of facilitator at the UN, which if you think about it, is a really fucking funny idea. But the skit itself, like every other skit ever made, is shit.

I Like My Song

Chorus:
I don't care if you don't like my song,
I don't care if you don't like my song,
I like my song.
I like my song.
I like my song.
I like my song.

Yes. OK...man. Agree to disagree.

Hush

Elton Brand raps on this one. Ya.

I mean, like, honestly. Download this shit if you want, but that's why I used Z-Share because of the preview option. You should though, because how many people can claim they have Ron "True Warier" Artest on their iPod? By my calculations, maybe like, 500 by now. That's a pretty small number.


Now, it's Spring Break, on MTV!
Be safe. Church.

These guys are awesome...

Seriously. Who ever made this movie is a cinematic genious.

What should mikel buy us with all of his money???

Let the bloodbath begin. I want this:

Oh yeah.

Addition to Alex's

I'm not going to write a long winded description of every commercial and why, but alex wanted to reminisce so thats what I'm going to do, someone is going to say that there is no need to write this because you can just read the comments, but then no one will actually see the video. To make a long story short here it is, my favorite commercials of the last 3 years. I would love to see others post their favorites wit the video instead of responding by comments.
