Mmm, yeah...

Samir gets down hella hard!

I was watching this on the T.V. the other day, and I realized that aside from being a great film, one could make the argument that Office Space has the greatest soundtrack. Ever. Period.

Still - Geto Boys

Damn it Feels Good to Be a Gangster - Geto Boys

Shove this Jay-Oh-Bee - Canibus

Get Off My Elevator - Kool Keith

Down For Whatever - Ice Cube

No Tears - Scarface

All songs are highly recommended, if you don't have them already.


Here's a bonus track that you must own:

Get 'em Girls - Cam'ron

Just finishing this bibliography...I can hear the fat lady warming up next door.

RIP Eugen Weber

First Diego Corrales, now this?

The best part of MEH is dead. Shit.

Watch his excellent, enthralling, series "The Western Tradition" here.

Eugen, we hardly knew ye.

You think there would be some let up...

I don't know how long this link is going to be up, so I am going to post this album before I have listened to it, but it is a Weezy mixtape put together by DJ Benzi that features the voices and remixing talents of Timbaland, the Neptunes, Clipse, Diplo, A-Trak, Ghislain Poirier, Nick Catchdubs, Jay-Z, Devin the Dude, and Bun B. Here is a link to the Pitchforkmedia article.

Lil' Wayne - None Higher

Practice, We Talking About Practice...

Following my trend for liking commercials, here is the new best commercial out right now. I didn't realize it but there are a bunch of famous people in it. Look out for Thierry Henry and Sloan from Entourage running together, skateboarder Stevie Williams, and Chad Johnson running with DeAngelo Hall (I had to look the last three up).

I would normally just file a complaint...

This is a clip taken from a camera in a train station a Buenos Aires. These commuters are rioting due to their dismay with late trains. I saw this on drudge and couldn't resist.



A guy actually sets a fire in a doorway.

WAIT ONE SECOND

Have I been seeing some posts with videos and very few words. OMG, I don't think that the NY Times allows silly videos without lengthy explanations and wordy riddles to explain everything, Juan Feesh I am disappointed.
Speaking of silly stuff heres a video.

Zombie...

There's a reason that I have been saying the American version of the Office is now better than Entourage. This should explain why.

Treat your mother right...

Happy Mothers Day, from everyone here at the Fund.



Yes, sir.

R.I.P. Diego Corrales

So I just read this a second ago and wanted to put it up on the blog. "Former two-division world champion Diego "Chico" Corrales, who lived as hard as he fought, died in a mororcycle crash Monday night in Las Vegas...Corrales, 29, will be remembered as one of the fiercest fighters of his era, a never-say-die warrior who thrilled legions of fans with several action-packed fights." Straight up this guy was a fucking soldier. He's the guy who went the distance with Pretty Boy despite being knocked down 5 times. For those of you who don't know him, I am putting up the youtube clip of him vs. Castillo (it might have been up here earlier) from a few years back where he gets knocked down twice but rebounds to win by KO. It is considered one of the best fights in recent history and has the best round in recent history. I remember really being pumped for Castillo-Corrales 3 but it never got made cause one of them didn't make weight. Boxing lost one of its toughest guys today.

Clean up man...

So this is about a month late, but I've been super busy...(???).

Anyways, after me and DJ Hart's trip to Mejico (with an unforgettable guest-appearence from Juanfeesh), I picked up a copy of XXL in the airport. In it were a couple of interesting articles; the main event being an interview with Young Buck a.k.a. "Clean Up Man", who's new album Buck the World was being waited on with much anticipation, given the recent shots taken at G-Unot (see previous post...Interestingly, there was also an article about a really shitty show The Game put on in Orlando). He talked on the typical stuff, mainly 50's beef with Cam and Game, but the highlight was him talking about the '04 Vibe Awards, where Jimmy James Johnson started swinging at none other than Dr. Dre, after Doc declined to give an autograph. So Buck Marley stabbed the dude in the chest.

"XXL: Looking back, would you have done the same thing again?
Buck: I'd do it again. If I had to repeat it twice, I would do it over and over again, bruh. But what I would do different is get a sharper knife."

Who the fuck goes after Dre? WTFOMG SUX0R!!11eleven!

Anyways, Buck the World is OK. In some songs it's pretty obvious he's pissed off and it works, but there's simply too many slow tracks for my taste. Weird combo.

Buss Yo Head

Get Buck

My two favorite songs off the album.

Synagogue.

BOXING IS STILL SEARCHING

The Mayweather vs De la Hoya fight was supposed to save boxing, and I think that everyone there realized that, these were not the fighters to make boxing's turn around. I was then thinking what all of us wanted to see was a knock out. So I figured I would show a video of the Boxer with the best Fights to Knockout ratio ever. Mike Tyson aka Kid Dynamite.. This is the type of fighter boxing needs

G-G-G-Unot (DJ Hart Mixtape Series Vol. 2)

This was supposed to be #3 in the mixtape series but John put up Da Drought III before I could get around to it. I have descovered slowly that not too many artists really use the mixtape to put new shit out (except of Weezy, who seems to put out a mix-tape every week) so it takes a little while to find a mixtape with any clout. Here, we have the new Game mixtape, You Know What It Is, Vol. 4. After going over the CD with a brief listen the whole CD is actually pretty hot; Game brings it real hard on this one. While it doesn't feature any real big time diss tracks to G-Unit (the song Body Bags kinda is one, but not in the league of 300, 240, or 120 bars) it really seems to me that G-Unit is kinda dead. I don't know if people have an opinion on this, but there seems to be no hot Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, or Tony Gayo songs on the radio or anything anymore. Is it possible to say that Game's G-Unot campaign worked? I think we'll have to see what happens when 50's new CD (titled something about CUUUURTTISS) drops.

Anyway here it is:
Get Game-Time

P.S. I have downloaded some other mix-tapes for the next few days. As tempted as I am to make this a Lil' Wayne homage-shrine type deal by putting up all his mixtapes, I'd rather put up tapes from a collection of different sets. Be on the lookout.

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.
