48 Days...
One of EA's teasers that always seems to captivate people is the players' ratings:
http://sports.espn.go.com/videogames/news/story?id=3450647
Only one player has ever received a 100 rating in any category: Devin Hester, Speed, Madden 08. It's what every heap of polygons in the game aspire to have. This year, EA has let the genie out of the bottle, so to speak, and given an additional 7 players 100 stat ratings. Most Make sense, like Peyton Manning's Field Awareness, or Randy Moss's Jumping ability. One member of the 100 Club, however, seems out of place, and shows a little bit of what's wrong with how EA changes the game from season to season
Wayne Hunter, backup Right Tackle on the New York Jets, has a Morale rating of 100. Who is Wayne Hunter? Well, it took me a little while to figure that out, too. Mr. Hunter was drafted out of Hawaii by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft. Since then, he has been on 3 teams, and appeared in just as few games in 5 years. Those aren't starts, those are appearances! He could have been in there for five seconds. He sat out all of the 2007 season. There are numerous players ahead of him on the Jets depth chart.
WHAT THE FUCK?!
How does he receive a 90 rating, let alone 100, in anything? I mean, I guess he is getting payed a couple hundred thousand dollars for having done absolutely nothing in his career, but still. On top of that, the player with the worst overall rating, Bills OT Demetrius Bell with a whopping 54 overall, has a 95 morale rating. Don't you usually feel down when you suck that bad?
The only thing that consoles me is the idea that EA realizes Morale does next to nothing in the game, and they made it so ridiculous this year so that next season they can claim that they fixed the morale stat as one of their yearly upgrades, so that it looks like something is different with the game other than updated rosters.
This got me thinking: what are some other bullshit categories EA could fall over themselves to give 100 ratings in?
Getting Away With Murder (Literally)
Leonard Little, DE, Rams
When you get away with killing an innocent women while your drunk-driving your rookie season, you attribute it to luck. When you get arrested again and fail three breathalyzer tests, it's a skill. Give this man a 100!
Party Shot Creativity
Matt Leinart, QB, Cardinals
Playing two-hand touch with hot under aged girls in your hot tub just isn't as fun as it used to be. And let's face it, The Game killed the whole downing a bottle of liquor thing. What's a man-boy to do? How about have your shirtless friend hold a Grey Goose bottle at his crotch while you suck it down? I haven't seen such homoerotic partying since the "Baby Bird" shot in the pilot for Gay Robot. Put another 100 on the board!
Everyday Is Halloween
Adalius Thomas, LB, Patriots
If you've watched Monday Night Football the past two seasons, you might have noticed a player rocking sunglasses in his intro. That's Adalius Thomas. He got into a car accident as a teenager and has a scar the size of my hand across the middle of his face. Adalius, you just stole millions of dollars from the Patriots, you can afford a little cosmetic surgery. You're not Harry Potter, you're not Corey Hart and this is not 1986.
Bottle Popping aka Making Stupid Decisions At Clubs
Javon Walker, WR, Oakland
Javon Walker's best friend and teammate, Darrent Williams, died in his arms (allegedly) in retaliation for getting into a champagne-spraying contest with gang members in a Denver bar. Walker keeps a shirt stained with Williams blood in his closet to remind him of the incident, and the consequences of one's actions. So what does Javon do in Las Vegas? Get into a champagne spraying fight that (allegedly) went wrong with Floyd Mayweather's crew. The way his career is going, Javon might have been smarter to save those bottles to pay his medical bills when he inevitably hurts his knee doing something stupid again. If there was a score above 100, I'd have to give it to him.

Karl Rove: The Tragic Gangster
While the 20,000 money-making brothers are too large a movement to have any one political agenda, we do consider a contemporary politico our patron saint. That man is Karl Rove. Why MC Rove? It’s because he has the audacity to say “Yeh, I’m a douchebag? AND What?” He dropped out of college and hustled his way to a posh office outside the Oval Office, a move that could only be made by a calculating man with swagger to spare.
We’ve been talking about Fox News a lot lately, and the other day I was flipping channels and caught Karl Rove on the Fox News set. This is a major coup for Fox. To snag THE election strategist of his generation away from the rich coffers of lobbying groups and political action committees is nothing short of a miracle. However, what is a giant gain for FNC is indicative of something much sadder for Rove: The reason he didn’t take any of those lucrative, cushy lobbying jobs is because, quite simply, nobody offered them to him.
There was an article in The Atlantic several months ago detailing one author’s view of why Rove failed so miserably as a political advisor to President Bush. As I think about the (lack of) actions by the Bush administration, Rove’s tenure plays out something like the plot of a gangster film. More specifically, I am referring to the archetypal downfall of the anti-hero the movie follows. Almost without exception, the main character of these films overcomes humble or unlikely beginnings, rises rapidly in the ranks, and establishes a criminal empire. However, the protagonist has some sort of bigger, perhaps even nobler, dream, the pursuit of which is thwarted by some combination of personal flaw and outside forces. At the end, they lose something dear to them as the toll of their failed journey.
In The Godfather series, Michael’s need for revenge and his inability to be accepted by polite society sours his plan of becoming a legitimate businessman, ending with the loss of his family. Tony Montana’s arrogance and overzealous ambition get the best of him in Scarface. Ace’s naiveté force him out of the drug game in Paid In Full. Last but not least, Frank White is incapable of escaping the past, and is rebuffed by New York, the city he so loved. Karl Rove borrowed from all of these characters’ failures, and in return, will ultimately be lost to history.
After the 2002 and 2004 election years, it looked like Karl Rove might indeed have an extended cameo in American history textbooks. Rove openly called them realignment elections. A realignment election is the rarest occurrence in American electoral politics. It happens maybe every 40 years, if that. They are momentous events that shift party allegiance, power, and transform the country. 2004 especially, in which he tapped into a pool of voters who hadn’t cast a ballot in decades (if ever), looked to be a mandate election, where Bush would have more power to accomplish his domestic policy goals. It wasn’t.
While one could argue that Rove was always a little too audacious or greedy, it didn’t show itself until Bush’s second term. With such a big win, Bush fulfilled his promise to Rove to get him more involved with policy, so that Rove could being to cement and take advantage of the electoral power shift he claimed had just happened. The problem was that it didn’t happen. It was beyond naïve to assume that ’04 was such an event. The last realignment happened less than 25 years before. The supposed “trigger” event, September 11, would have ushered in a change in attitudes about foreign policy, not domestic policy. And lastly, the issues Rove wanted to tackle weren’t the ones that got Bush reelected.
Bush was elected largely because people loathed John Kerry and because of a strong anti-gay marriage sentiment in key states. Bush and Rove’s policy goals were rarely given as the reason for voters to cast their ballots. President Bush wished to privatize Social Security, establish private health savings accounts, and conduct liberal immigration reform: all issues that were unpopular with a majority of Americans. Rove managed to pull out a win in spite of voters’ take on Bush’s agenda.
Whereas Rove’s naiveté was at fault in assuming a realignment had ushered the administration back into office with greater political power, his arrogance is what ultimately cost him his job and his place in history.
The one piece of Bush’s domestic agenda that was successfully passed through Congress, The No Child Left Behind program, came to fruition out of bipartisan political compromise, and the careful massaging of egos in the Capitol. After September 11, when Rove and Bush could have formed a strong bipartisan coalition within the legislature, they instead chose to ram bills down their collective throat. Not only did this squander an important opportunity to cultivate a working relationship with Democrats, it also alienated Republican leadership in Congress. In effect, Bush told them if you don’t pass this or that, you’re un-American. Rove didn’t even ask for the advice or opinions of the most senior Republican leadership when writing a proposed policy.
This cavalier attitude towards the way business was done doomed the rest of Rove’s tenure in the White House. Social security and healthcare privatization, which were achievable systems that existed in other countries, became impossible dreams on the Hill. The last, fatal misstep was the immigration reform debacle, where Democrats and Rove’s supposed Republican allies rebelled against Bush’s threats with embarrassing consequence.
Considering the path of Rove’s brief Washington career, I’m reminded of a scene from Paid In Full. We see dollars falling, and what we assume is a scene of Ace’s plush gangster lifestyle. The camera pans out, and we see it’s a stage, with actors acting out what Ace was once a part of. Yes, Ace gets to watch these little glories of his youth over and over again, but he can never live it over again. The same is with Rove. In the safety of the Fox studios he can watch the events play out this campaign season, he can talk about strategy, but because of his flaws, he will never be able to participate in the game.

R. Kelly not Guilty?
The verdict came six years after the R&B superstar was first charged with videotaping himself having sex with a young girl. Prosecutors had said she was as young as 13 at the time.
The Grammy award-winning singer dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict was read. The singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.
Both Kelly and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were the ones appearing on the tape, which was played for the jury at the beginning and end of the trial.
The prosecution's star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the girl from the video. Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn't have a large mole on his back, as Kelly does.
The jury of nine men and three women included the wife of a Baptist preacher from Kelly's Chicago-area hometown, as well as a compliance officer for a Chicago investment firm and a man in his 60s who emigrated from then-Communist Romania nearly 40 years ago.
Jurors took the sex tape at the center of the trial with them, and a monitor was set up in the jury room in case they wanted to review it.
Kelly was charged with 14 counts of videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl, who prosecutors say was as young as 13.Aaron Mcgruder is a prophet- why do I have the feeling this is how it went down?

Barack Obama's "terrorist fist jab"
Now, I'm not really sure what Fox News was getting at when they insinuated that the moment Barack and his wife shared could be interpreted as a "terrorist fist jab" but I honestly don't really care. I think it's apparent that even Fox knew the notion that the two were sharing some sort of "insurgent" secret hand shake is absurd and insulting. That's why they threw the idea out there and then ran away from it as fast as they could. But what they're doing is stirring the pot -- giving bitter, stubborn, old conservatives (it's a little unfair of me to pigeonhole with this term, but let's face it that's the demographic Fox caters to) something else to fear simply because they may or may not understand it and Fox tells them to be weary of it. But the idea that a body-language interpreter was even necessary is laughable.
That said, the video does highlight one indisputable fact that I'd like to address at this point. George W. is that dude. Fuck what you heard! Never again will a man be so inept to lead a country but be blessed with so much pure, unfiltered swagger as to con an entire nation into electing him president. Twice!
Style, swagger, charisma. A certain... je ne c'est quoi if you will. George W. Bush has it. In troves.
*Edit*
It has just been brought to my attention that it is well documented that Al Qaeda members often give each other dap after blowing shit up. Hmm. The plot thickens...

"Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade!"
The Somerville Theater is a piece of garbage. The floor constantly feels like its going to fall through, and the seats move and creak if someone on the opposite end scratches themselves. Staff at the theater are a mixed bag. The usher was helpful enough, and the high school girls at the popcorn stand were nice, but everyone else is a damned snarky hipster philo-major son of a bitch. On the positive end, the acoustics were magnificent and it is a really neat little theater. I had seats in the last row, left balcony and I felt like I was right on top of the performer. Plus, it is probably the only venue in the area where you can get a Harpoon draught or a glass of white wine with your popcorn.
-Is it a law that every acoustic guitar-playing, folk sin singer chick wear a white dress?

Nasir gives his take on the current state of the nation and political atmosphere in the country. Looks like he's openly supporting Barack.
All political bias aside, it is my opinion that this is one of the better Nas songs I've heard in years. See kids? You don't have to wear a backpack to pass a message in your music. Check it out.

Random Thought
I was literally 'bout to nap and X-Men: the animated series came on. It was the infamous first episode when my mans Morph [allegedly] gets merked by a sentinel.
There was some debate later on in the episode and the series if anyone was to blame for the incident. I've taken it upon myself to analyze the situation and
I've concluded that it was certainly Cyclop's fault and Wolverine should have definitely tore his ass up. My man morph had no reason to even be on the mission. He serves as merely comic relief and since both Wolverine and Beast were already on board (they're hilarious together, not so much separate) laughs were optimal.
And the fact that they decided to just dip when Morph and Beast got got... what kind of leadership and teamwork is that? If any of my 20k dudes were getting jumped by sentinels, I don't care how many or how big or what generation of sentinel (because they do get crazy), I'm hopping in the fight, powers or no powers.
Imma miss you morph :(

P.S. check out the John Mayer vid. Kristen Bell's won my heart. Now if she didnt come across like such a crazy, homicidal, b*tch...
Top 5 reasons Rick Ross is on top:
1. Being attractive is out
2. Being fat is back
3. Dark skinned is still holdin it down
4. He has complete knowledge of 1-3
5. He is NOT a coke rapper. He just happens to know a little about coke and very little about rap.
Miami has truly found a boss in this man.
I would've posted one of his songs but I don't actually like any of them.

GTA IVth Grade [EDITED]
{video moved}
I heard this on the radio a week ago, finally caught the video. At least he hangs out with cool kids who smoke cigarettes.
addendum:
Due to popular opinion, simply stealing a video from another blog, forum, or an afternoon youtube hunt will not warrant a post. But since this activity is valuable to the 20k community the video bar has been added.
simply place the html embed code under the last one when you wish to edit the section.
The 6th video poster is allowed to delete the first video to maintain only 5 vids at any given time.
most importantly the dimensions must be altered to fit the smaller side panel.
Width 213: Height:178 (you don't have to remember this you can just look at the other videos ahead of you)
The above changes are honestly for the improvement of the blog.
Any questions... just stop being a bitch.
Thank you,

Star and Buc are Making a Comeback!
Star had a hand in taking what I believe was a television signal and turning it into a radio station.
Pulse 87. 87.7 on the dial.
It was his way of getting back into NY radio.
Thing is, they are really just getting started. They haven't done any marketing in NY. So the average NY'er doesn't even know the station exists.
And there are some stereo receivers that don't even go as low as 87.7, which doesn't help either.
But they have a pretty good signal. The other weird thing is that it's a "dance" music station. So you'll hear mostly House and Trance, and dance remixes of Pop records.
A stream of Pulse is available via their website. You can listen from wherever.
And now for some memories:

From the Vanity Fair controversy to badly losing online dance competitions, these last few weeks have been bad for Miley Cyrus. Apparently some super dance group from L.A. challenged her thru youtube and they took it very seriously. Walt Disney took time out of his sit down with Hitler to roll in his grave a few times.
I'd ravage Amanda Bynes' box for the record.

So Much Swagger, I Give Up!
But I digress.
So i was on Kanye's blog a while back and I witnessed the most powerful expression of swag I've ever seen (outside of our 20,000 that perpetually radiate ridiculous levels of swag, braggadocio, style, flavor, funk, hot-as-fuck-ness...etc.) In response to some less than favorable reviews of his new tour, Kanye whil'd out:
Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!Albeit the arrogance that Kanye is often criticized for is there, but it is laced with the hilarity and truth I personally find endearing. I give up hating on this man and his little blog he has running over there. I in fact like it. This is not to say we aren't iller in every way and that our subject matter doesn't far surpass his. Simply, his blog, his tour, his last album don't completely suck.
And in the same vein as his post, Fuck all the 20kmoneymakingbloggersonthecorner haters!!! Theres way too many letters in our web address to come across us and not already be on our dick. If you don't like a post you're stupid...
go kill yourself because you ain't ever gon ' be nothing!

Lesbos Sue Gays
Ike: What? Like, themselves, or just gay men?
Ron: No, no, I mean the people of Lesbos. The Greek Island. They're
suing gays.
Ike: Ok... as in a few gay people in Greece, a particular
homosexual organization or like... the entire international gay community...?
Ron: Well not the ENTIRE gay community. Just the chicks.
That conversation really happened. Now we don't fancy ourselves to be a news service here at 20K, but this was just too good to ignore. Lesbos, coincidentially (or not so much) an island famous for birthing the poet Sappho who rapped about nothing else but liking girls who like girls who like girls, is finally tired of being associated with same-sex relations. As one male Lesbian complains, "My sister can't say she is a Lesbian. Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos."
The article is filled with gems like, "The word lesbian has only been linked with gay women in the past few decades but we have been Lesbians for thousands of years" and "But even if we assume Sappho was [gay], how can 250,000 people of Lesbian descent — including women — be considered homosexual?"
lolcatz.

20,000 Crack Commandments
Contained within its musky leather binding are all the rules a brother must live by, lest he be labelled a mark-ass trick, or even worse, a trick-ass mark.
Some highlights include:
BC26: "A Bro will, in a timely manner, alert his bro to the existence of a girl fight."
BC89: "A Bro may never pursue the hot mom of a fellow Bro. A Bro may hook up with a Bro's hot step-mom if said MILF initiates the hook-up or is wearing at least one article of leopard-print clothing."
The Psalm of the Bros
BC59: "1 Bro makes a solo attack
A 2nd Bro makes a crutch
The 3rd Bro rounds out the pack
The 4th Bro is one bro too many"
And of course, the Golden Bro Code
"Bros over Hoes."
Of course, the Bro Code is a living document. What other rules should us money-making bros follow? Leave them as comments.

The funniest thing to me about this video is the fact that I didn't even realize Consequence was in it until now. Somehow this dude manages to sneak into every other post we make here. What is this his 4th or 5th time on the blog?
New Rule: no more Consequence.

"Aww Man! These N***** Still Kissing..."
Ever heard of Terrance Dean? He’s worked for MTV, written a few books, and bedded a few famous men in his day: straight mothafuckin o-g style! And apparently, Mr. Dean never learned that it's impolite to felch and tell.
So, everybody got hype for that Wendy Williams tell-all, but they clearly weren’t Money Makin’ Brothers, cause if they were they’d remember 20k Money Makin’ Rule #105: “Don’t believe shit that bubble-eyed bitch says!”
Dean says he isn’t going to name names, but that it will be clear who he will be referring to…which is basically the same thing. I think we’ll all know who he’s talking about when “S.E.X.” and “Gay-Z” pay a visit to his poop-shoot for the first time.
Why should hip-hop be surprised, or really even care? How many times has your favorite rapper spit 16 bars about going to prison, that prison time was easy, or even that they liked it? As Cam put it "18 months -please- that aint facin time Im stressed anyway - need it for vaction time!" Has he never seen Oz? I'm gonna be real up-front: dudes don't enjoy prison unless they: a.) can't take care of themselves adequately in free society b.) like hiding contraband up their man-hole, or c.) aren't bothered by the constant threat of spending happy hour on a Provincetown Barstool (shout out to P-Town!).
Hip-hop culture puts an emphasis on keeping up with and setting new trends in fashion. Flamboyance is praised. The strength that comes from strong bonds with similarly-aged and flashy young men is emphasized. All steretotypes of gay men, be they right or wrong.
Of course, we won’t know until the book comes out, or Dean does his first interview on Hot 97.7. So, in the spirit of the death pool, let’s call our shots. Which rappers do YOU think will boogie out of the closet and why? I’ll be the first to say it: Weezy and Birdman have been suspect for years. What with the kissing, Lil Wayne’s penchant for saying how much he loves anal sex and crediting Baby for it, just…everything…. pause- He's pretty much been throwing it in our faces for a while now "Weezy f-cking Baby, please say the baby" sounds like homosexual jargon if you ask me.
Ike's Take:There is no question in my mind that at least some of rap's most prominent artists are gay. I don't think there's really a debate there, I mean statistically it's a very plausible assumption to make. And honestly? I don't really care. So you're a gay rapper... so what? I think I speak for everyone here at 20K when I say there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. Not that we have nothing against it, but flatly there is nothing wrong with it. As long as you keep spitting that hot fire that keeps my neck sore from knocking my head so much (I'm sorry, but pause) who cares what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom. And besides, I mean let's be real... we all already knew that DMX loves the man-booty-hole: "Cuz dog! Once you hear that *ARRFF ARRFF* I'm coming!!"
--EDIT--
Actually I'd like to make one change to my previous statement. I do have a HUGE issue with gay ass rappers fronting like they're not, and filling their lyrics with homophobic nonsense and hyper masculine he-man bullshit. Lil' Wayne, STOP! You kiss another man, on the mouth openly and repeatedly. I'm tired of hearing the phrase "no homo" on every other verse you write. Especially on Lollipop. What the hell is wrong with you?

a BROtastic adventure!!!
REAdy, Set, BROooOOo!!!
Our good friends Sam, Egan, Vince, Jenkins (he's a racist) and another bro that I can't recall the name of have embarked on a weekend BRo-dtrip to the city of Bro-therly love, Philadelphia. We at 20kmoneymakingbloggersonthecorner fully support the bond that can only be shared between bros and find this act of pure Bro-manship admirable. In this '95 volvo they hope to find what Bro-dism scholars have coined as Bro-vana, a state in which Bros reach complete enlightenment and understanding and become completely comfortable with their place in the Bro-niverse, they become one with the effervescent Bro-force that surrounds and is part of all things but is invisible to the average BRo.

Conspiracy Keys
So apparently Alicia Keys told Blender magazine that “Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didn’t exist.”
She also goes on to say: "the East Coast-West Coast Beef with Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."
Well I don't know if she got turned out by an ex black panther or something recently, but "Gangster" rap was created by rappers who pretended to be gangster's to sell more records. To suggest that the government spent tax payer money on studio time, tour buses and Dre beats is just straight up stupid. Although the thought of Reagan sitting in the oval office listening to "Can I borrow a Dollar" and yelling at his assistants to bring him some gangsta sh-t is hilarious to me.
Before rap there was gangs, drugs, crime, pimps and all of that. Clearly Gangsta rap is the product of the ghetto and not the government. She tried to make it seem like the end goal of Gangsta rap was to kill black people- no the end goal was to make money. All of those dudes in the early 90's took the CB4 Gusto route strictly to make money and gain fame. Unfortunately the masses will always be intrigued by the gangster lifestyle in one way or another which is why labels sign them. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional "I'll put the shotty to your body" esque raps from time to time, but to suggest that N.W.A. was a product of the C.I.A. or something similar is one of the more stupid comments I've heard some one affiliated with hip-hop say. Although it doesn't quite outrank Lupe's "A dope dealer would crush Barack Obama in a conversation" and Prodigy's "George Bush Sr. f-cks little boys to take their youth from them- thats why he's living so long" comments.
She continued to say "If black leaders such as the late Black Panther Huey Newton had the outlets our musicians have today, it'd be global. I have to figure out a way to do it myself".
So I guess we can expect songs such as "You don't know my name...because the white man took us from our native home and stole our names" or a soothing R&B hit like "Karma(an ode to 9/11)". I don't know what she was thinking but I wouldn't be surprised if she got black balled from the industry for these ridiculous statements. The government isn't hip enough to have created gangsta rap, didn't she see when Karl Rove tried to dance? Apparently she dropped out of Columbia to pursue her music career and it shows, Alica I love you- but shut the f-ck up.

"I'd rather have some Ide's and some dimes in the crib chillin'"
Answer: False! Why else would he be making money?!?!
It's the weekend. Time to spend that dough and get wasted, and when you're not vibing off Armand de Brignac or that Hangar 1, you ought to be dropping $2 and doing it like Biggie, Pac, and Snoop did:
And because I caught it while on YouTube, here's Biggie at 17, freshly dropped out of high school embarrassing MC's and staying on the corner!
Pimp.It.
"Wokka, wokka. Who wants to hear a funny ass joke?"
Knee-slapper.
Chris out.
Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and this dude Shawn she know from 'round the way
We had pretty good seats and honestly they both did their thing.
There was this one part in Jays set where he performed Can I Live and he told everyone that came along during Blueprint 1 and 2 to sit down for a sec while all the Reasonable Doubt heads had their time.
This made me smile for 2 reasons:
1. He acknowledge that he is two artists, an immensely talented upshot from Brooklyn and the sell out we've come to love.
2. And although Can I Live is a classic, alot of people had to sit down and whisper amongst themselves, "is this off a mixtape or something?"
Anyway, concert was straight. Mary killed it and there were fireworks.
MC Rove is a Straight G...
I like speaking to the college campuses.
And the first question, someone called you a cancer.
Right. Oh, sure.
You must get that all the time.
Uh, I get it some. When I go to campuses. But did you hear what I did? I just let him rant. And when he was finished, he had no question, he just wanted to accuse me of undermining the Constitution and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. And I said, "Thanks for your thoughtful rant." And he sat down. And I said, "Now do you feel better about yourself?" And he said, "Yeah." And I said, "Well, I want you to feel better about yourself." And everybody laughed, and we went on.
Watch that entire video... His flow is impeccable. His swagger? Phenomenal.

A up and coming indie/rock/pop/hiphop band by the name of G[orilla]-Unit...
... headed by the charismatic Curtis "50 cent" Jackson, has released a new song entitled "I Like the Way She Do it". By all standard criteria for musical judgment this song should be labeled mediocre at its best, but no, this ambitious group of musicians has once again altered the common perception of good music. In a world where the lyrical stylings of the Killers or Death Cab For Cutie are assign the inscription of being poignant and inventive (amongst other bands. These bands were simply in my recently played on Itunes) and formula and hollowed sentence structure in rhyme have become almost universally frowned upon, lead vocalist Jackson finds it upon his shoulders to correct this injustice. While artists, like young Victor "N.O.R.E." "Noreaga" Santiago from Lefrak City mentioned below, have attempted to alter the vehicle of shallow lyrical delivery, Jackson adamantly opposes any sort of alteration. "I Like the Way She Do it" exists as simply the latest chapter in Jackson's Trapped in the Closet-esque serial which began with "In Da Club." Jackson brings with him the vocal talents of Christopher Charles Lloyd [Banks], Marvin Bernard [Tony Yayo], and David Darnell Brown (Young Buck). On this track these men create a unique melodic ensemble that has not been seen since G-Unit Radio 1-25, Beg for Mercy the album, Get Rich or Die Trying, Get Rich or Die Trying OST, Get Rich or Try Dying... and their most recent, Elephant in the Sand Mixtape. Keep a look out for their next album Lock and Load scheduled for summer 08 (unless you have any other 50, Banks, Yayo, or Buck album, then just play that. You're not missing much.)

Ya'll heard these niggas done tied the knot!!???
I know my dislike for a certain Mr. Sean Carter is well documented within the community, and I know the team is strong on their celebrity gossip grind, but how is this gon' just happen!
Truthfully, I feel like this is a good look for ugly dudes born in Brooklyn *cough, cough*, especially those creeping up there in their years and lookin sloppy. (Red Stripe ain't gon' help the belly situation brotha.)
This ain't a celebrity gossip blog really but i jus felt like niggas should know if they ain't already (and I know a whole bunch of people that just like seeing Beyonce looking kinda busted.)
