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.
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 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
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.
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.
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)

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.

Over, Oveur.
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.
Alright I have been starting to watch more and more TV as of late and as a result, since I am really fucking lazy with my DVR and all that shit I still end up watching commercials. Now commercials are a crucial part of a television experience and as a result this is a list for discussion for good commercials out now and in the past.(I am sure all of these are on youtube so I don't want to post them all out but go and check them out"
-Favorite Commercial on the air Right Now: I really like the Gatorade AM commercial with all the athletes getting up first thing in the morning and getting their gatorade from the gatorade version of the milk man: Kevin Garnett. A funny little commercial.
-Best Commercial Series: This one has gotten tough the more I think about it, so its gonna have to be a tie between the Nike Lebron Commercials and the Air Jordan Commercials. Ones in particular I reccomend for each are for Lebron: all of the Lebron ones from last season and this season as well as the Witness one. I might be a bigger fan of the witness one just cause its so fucking sick. For Air Jordan: the ones you gotta watch are the one of all the kids doing all his moves and the ones with him and Mars Blackmon (aka Spike Lee)
-Most Intimidating Commercial/ Pump Up Commercial Award: Has to go to the Nike Warrior commercial with the masks from a couple years back. All of you I am sure know what I am talking about.
-Best Commercial that I cannot find online or anywhere: The commercial when NFL Network originally started that introduced Rich Eisen to the network. It was him doing all sorts of shit (such as checking out diamonds for players and putting balls in the machine for players to chatch). Impossible to find though.
-Most Consistent Commercial Line- The This is Sportscenter commercials have been going strong for some time now. They hit their peak in the 90's but still have a lot of potential.
Best Use of Cinema that to some extent are actually commercials: This award goes to the BMW Films series from back in the day starring Clive Owen as the Driver and having short movies from famous directors. Yea technically they were movies, but lets be honest they were actually trying to sell a product.
Most Overhyped Commercials: Always goes to Super Bowl Sunday. Yes they are an elemental part of Super Bowl Sunday, but lets be honest here. With all they hype and billing they get they should be a lot funnier on the whole.
Best Use of Animals: The commercials that use animals the best have to be the careerbuilder.com ones with the guy working in the office full of monkeys. They are just too silly to handle. I think monkeys are funny in almost any situation, I mean who doesn't love an animal that throws feces.
Funniest Commercial that I can think of at this Moment: This is the only commercial I am gonna put up from youtube. You guys might not like it because its pretty stupid but I still laugh everytime I see it.
This post was meant to get some discussion going and so people can reminisce. There's nothing quite like a good commercial.

Comparing Shaq’s playing days with his rapping ways, Shaq Diesel went platinum, and Shaq Fu: The Return went gold. But, perhaps more importantly, millions, upon millions, upon millions, of people laughed, and laughed, and laughed.
Even though his flow his awful and his rhymes are laughable (in more ways than one), I will admit; Diesel has a decent sound. A softer, big-guy tone, it’s really not all that bad if you’re listening absent-mindedly. Listen for yourself…

I felt the need to post this up after the discussion held at lunch today. Today's lunch constitued (not sure if this is a real word) of a number of sports related talks involving hockey fights, the brawl with the pistons, and the dunk contest. Here is a clip of John Salley's (from Best Damn Sports Show) top 10 in game dunks. The reason this goes up because there was discussion of dunks that broke the rim or backboard (two of those), dunks with people celebrating in the face of others (there are a couple in here), and Patrick Ewing (you'll be able to see what Scottie Pippen does to him). I know were cutting down on movies but to be honest I haven't posted in forever and I'm low on ideas right now.
As requested by some of the other members of this blog, I thought I would put up some music that is not rap, in attempt to broaden the musical horizons of some other members. One recent album that has caught my eye has been the new album by LCD Sounsystem entitled Sound of Silver. A little background: LCD Soundsystem is a band formed by Dance-Punk/Electronic music producer James Murphy, along with a couple other of musicians who take part in many different bands. Their first album, which was self titled, gained a lot of critical acclaim in 2005, so much so that Murphy recieved a deal from Nike and Apple to compose the first "Workout" for the iTunes Music Store, titled 45:33. Their newest album, which was released on March 20, 2007, dares you to listen to it without nodding your head with the beat. I beg some of the more "close-minded" readers of this blog (wink wink abriendo_bitches) to consider this album. I am interested to hear your thoughts.
I know it is shunned upon to post just funny website, but I have a feeling that this can be quite a fun thing to look at while pretending to do HW. In case your skeptical of clicking on the link. heres a sample. The mike D picture
HERE IS THE LINK: http://drunkathletes.synergyofsports.com/
PG: Sean Singletary VA. Granted he only played in two games but while he was there he put up great numbers. Averaging 21 Points to go along with an amazing 7 assist to 3 turnovers ratio. He also put up 6 rebounds in each game, which for a point guard is amazing.
SG: Ron Lewis OSU. He has been lights-out this march shooting 52% and leading all 4-game scorers with 22 points, 10 points per game more than he had during the regular season. He has not missed one single free throw all tournament, to go along with an averaging 5 boards a game. All of those numbers are great and his team is in the final four due to that crucial shot versus Xavier.
SF: Kevin Durant TX. Although Durants first and possibly only trip to march madness ended early this year, no one can put the blame on the big man averaging 29 points per game to go along with 9 rebounds. He also shot 88% from the free throw line, and was the single reason why Texas was even in the tournament let alone advanced one round.
PF: Tyler Hansbrough UNC. I hate to do it, but the dumb white fuck, has been phenomenal. He has been averaging over 21 points a game to go along with 9 rebounds, and has been shooting great from the line with a 81% for a PF-C. He has also been averaging more than 2.5 blocks a game.
C: Roy Hibbert GT. Not only because I love him but because he has helped push Georgetown into the final four as much as Jeff Green himself. He is leading the tournament in total and average blocks and rebounds, which considering he plays center guarantees himself a spot on this team. But its not to say he only can play on the defensive side of the ball, he is shooting 54% from the field to go along with his not-so-shabby 13 points a game.
This was essentially my first post, so I hope the formatting is OK
I was on youtube searching for the video of that Jay-Z song "Bounce Wit Me" and one of the first videos that came up was the video for a rapper called Young Lyfe and his song "Bounce Wit Me". I thought that it might be a remake of the song, but it turned out to be something completely different. What I found was one of the greatest music videos of all time. I have never seen so much gratuitous booty in my entire life. I want to be this man. This is the only video that I have ever seen where an actual vagina is being blurred out. Please enjoy.
A woman actually hands him money at the end of the video as if he is her pimp. Holy Crap.
This is the beginning of a weekly countdown of the top ten current footballers in Europe. There are no defenders or goalkeepers on this list and those that made it received the honor because of their performances in the last two years.
Number 10: David Villa
Along with Fernando Torres (Atlético Madid) and Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) David Villa is one of Spain’s rising stars. However, unlike his fellow compatriots at only 25 David Villa has become the leader of his side, Valencia, a team that has slowly risen in the ranks becoming not only a competitor in the Spanish Primera League, but also a contender in Europe. Valencia is currently 4th in the Spanish Primera, only six points behind Barcelona, and in the last eight of the champions league. Much of there success is due to Villa’s skill and leadership. Already with 5 goals in the Champions league and 10 in the Spanish league Villa’s speed, skill, and acrobatic potential makes him a constant threat. Villa skill has caught the eye of the giant English Clubs Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and an optimistic Aston Villa. Still Villa stays loyal to the team that brought him to prominence hoping to see them lift some silverware in the near future.
