i went to the Roots concert last Wednesday! video of them with Bun B!!!

2008-06-25T20:20:00.000-07:00

So I saw The Legendary Roots Crew last week for the third time, and it was the shiznazzle. What set this shit off was that they brought out Bun B and he did his verse from "Int'l Players Anthem."
RIP Pimp C. Here's my video:

Professor Grif from Public Enemy was there also. I know, random, but apparently he brought his son for his birthday. Whatever the fuck he was doing in Houston is still a mystery.

So yea, Roots Crew fam.

Rolling Stone gives "The Dark Knight" an EXTREMELY positively glowing review!!!

2008-06-25T15:24:00.000-07:00

So the first reviews of The Dark Knight are coming in, and I'm happy to say my nut has been busted.

Over at Rolling Stone, the usually harsh critic Peter Tarvish gave it a strong 3.5/4 stars (4's are reserved for Oscar fodder, although he does support a posthumous nod for Ledger). Don't read it if you want to avoid spoilers, however, here's the first paragraph:

Heads up: a thunderbolt is about to rip into the blanket of bland we call summer movies. The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan's absolute stunner of a follow-up to 2005's Batman Begins, is a potent provocation decked out as a comic-book movie. Feverish action? Check. Dazzling spectacle? Check. Devilish fun? Check. But Nolan is just warming up. There's something raw and elemental at work in this artfully imagined universe. Striking out from his Batman origin story, Nolan cuts through to a deeper dimension. Huh? Wha? How can a conflicted guy in a bat suit and a villain with a cracked, painted-on clown smile speak to the essentials of the human condition? Just hang on for a shock to the system. The Dark Knight creates a place where good and evil — expected to do battle — decide instead to get it on and dance. "I don't want to kill you," Heath Ledger's psycho Joker tells Christian Bale's stalwart Batman. "You complete me." Don't buy the tease. He means it.

Wowzies. And over at Ain't It Cool, some random lucky bastard go to see it, and again it does give some things away, but all you gotsta know is that it kicks fucking ass. Shwaeet.

wtf is wrong with Kanye West

2008-06-23T22:24:00.000-07:00

Ok, Ye, wtf. I've been this dude's biggest fan and supporter forever, I remember seeing him being interviewed on MTV2's rap battle thing, rockin the Bill Gates Godfather tee, going to Best Buy in the rain with my mom to buy College Dropout the day it came out, and he inspired me to start making beats. And I've stuck with him through thick and thin, even looked past the Wayne dick-riding, and hyphy remix guest spots, but dude has lost his mind.

He recently posted on his blog defending Soulja Boy, AKA the dude who killed hip hop, and, amognst other things, calls him "real hip hop" and compares him to Nas. Now, after remembering how Ye used to furously rant about how complex his own shit was, and how "Jesus Walks" had hundreds of tracks of strings or whatever, to see him praise this lame bullshit has led me to two conclusions: either he is pulling the biggest prank ever, or rolling way too much X. MDMA.

Dude, come the fuck on. You go off the deep end, I ain't followin. Peace.

the "softening of Michelle Obama"

2008-06-23T00:02:00.000-07:00

Seriously, what's with all this talk of "softening" Michelle Obama's image? She's not Ernest Fucking Hemmingway.

Reality check: she's an intelligent, successful, and accomplished black woman, and a lot of people fear, and probably even loathe, that fact. But the truth is that women like that have become an archetype, and that particular caricature has been demonized time and again on reality shows. It's trash. So she went to an Ivy League school, became a lawyer, and is probably going to be the first lady. Oh yeah, and as George Carlin would put it, she "happens to be black." If all that's a reason to hate her, then guess what? She doesn't seem to be the one with the problem after all.

Maybe she is hard. That means she's tough, and in order to get the shit done like she has, you gotta be tough. So fuck 'em.

BREAKING NEWS: George Carlin dead at 71

2008-06-22T23:12:00.000-07:00

It's like 1 in the morning, and apparently, according to the LA Times, legendary comedian George Carlin has died at the age of 71.

Dude was a counter-culture icon, pioneer, and his material broke ground for every generation of comedians after him.

I actually just saw his last stand up special recently, and although hilarious, there was something strange about seeing him, at his age and state, talk the way he did. It was very dark stuff. But knowing him, he'll probably be buried giving the bird.

He said "fuck you" til the end; too bad the world is now 1 badass less.

there's hope for the human race after all - "Get Smart" #1, "Love Guru" #4

I guess people aren't as stupid as I thought.

Get Smart is projected to earn the top spot with an estimated $39 million, while the awfully juvenile and dismally reviewed Love Guru is set to finish 4th with only $14 mil.

In addition to this bomb, Entertainment Weekly wrote an article about Mike Myers that made him out to be this huge a-hole, but at the same time talked about how he's reached some sort of spiritual awakening. And yet he makes shit like this.

new details about "The Office" spinoff emerge

2008-06-13T12:10:00.000-07:00

A new Variety article has revealed our first details of The Office spinoff.

First, they've made their first hire, Aziz Ansari, from MTV's sketch comedy show Human Giant. Dude is hilarious, and I can picture him fitting in perfectly in The Office's style of comedy. He's also guest starred in an episode of Flight of the Conchords. Cool beans.

Also, it appears that it won't be a spinoff in the traditional sense. It's unlikely that any of the characters on the current show will be on the spinoff. It might be a "planted spinoff," where the new characters on introduced on The Office in maybe an episode. It also might not be a spinoff at all, just a show in the "similar vein" of the current show.

They've also hired writers from Conan, South Park, and Everybody Loves Raymond.

The new show premiers in winter, and will air right after The Office.

Sweet.

and the verdict is...NOT GUILTY!!!

2008-06-13T12:02:00.000-07:00

go here to see the rest. kewl.

I won't be watching the game tonite.

2008-06-10T17:07:00.000-07:00

This series means everything to me.

I know this might sound strange, but whenever I watch my teams play, all the bad things in my life, everything that's going wrong, is embodied in the other team. So when I root for my team, I'm not just rooting for them, but for me and for my life to get better. I get very personally wrapped up in this stuff. Sue me.

So whenever my team's down, and I see someone like Kobe on the TV, it's kind of life seeing Superman getting his ass beat. And if he can't stop Doomsday, then who can?

And now a revelation comes out today (ESPN) that 2 refs allegedly conspired to fix playoff series. No shock. Helpless is how you feel. This series has been officiated awfully. God awfully. In all honesty I am extremely turned off by the NBA, but it's not like I've got a lot of other choices. At the end of the day, the Black Sox are rolling in their graves.

In an attempt to save my TV and not break more shit, I won't watch tonight, or probably game 4 either.

Douch Bag Du Jour, pt. 1

2008-06-10T00:12:00.000-07:00

I once had a girl ask "What's a douchebag?" I was flabbergasted (for a few reasons, actually). Much like a nerd circa 1979 being asked "What's a Wookie?" I was blown about 10 ails back. Vivid flashes of late night clubbing and repeats of Growing Up Gotti danced in my head, there was oh so much that needed to be said. How could one sum up the essence of a "douchebag" using only the limited amount of language (very limited if you represent that public school system) and verbal communication skills available to us mere mortals on this wee planet?

One thing was clear: douchebag isn't an abstract term. There are definitely certain tell tell signs and signifiers that would mark one as a douchebag. If you're jamming your Nickelback/Creed mix in your Hummer on the way the Carlos Mencia show, and are thinking about going back home real quick because you don't think the Affliction t-shirt you have on right now is as cool as the Ed Hardy one you left at home, right next to your undersized Cornhuskers baseball hat, but decide not too because it fuck it it matches your Deisels, guess what?

However, merely possessing a handful of these attributes still would not definitively and wholly make one a douche. In order to truly place oneself among the ranks of Cash Warren and Dane Cook, one must have that "essence rare," that unexplainable and undeniably wretched spirit of the douche.

Therefore, much like Steve Erwin or Jane Goodall, I will commit my life's work (or a few posts on my blog) weathering the elements to figure out exactly what is a douchebag, why are they so awful, and how they can be eradicated.

To know the cure one must know the virus. Until then, keep hope alive.

I remember back when it first came out, riding around with my friend listening to that CD on repeat for months, it never left the CD player. So hopefully this one has got the same mojo.

"The Column" pt. 1 - Limitations

2008-06-09T17:06:00.000-07:00

Limitations.

It's one of those funny things that's sort of hard to recognize until it's too late, and someone is completely, wholly, and unabashedly ignoring it. Like Michael Jordan playing baseball or Scarlett Johansen singing (or acting, for that matter), some people shoot for the stars, say fuck the clouds, and decide to settle on a whole 'nother planet.

Now, the other night I was at a "party," and seeing as how it was a real beehive of activity, Bateman, I had plenty of time to observe, think, and, after a 6 of Modelo, came up with the following theory.

If a guy is, say, a 4 or a 5, then when he goes out on the prowl, he's more than likely only to go after 4 or 5's, and maybe, MAYBE, a 6. But at the end of the day, he'll recognize his limitations. Michael Olowokandi knows he ain't Olojowan. The day he bags a 7/8, however, or even 9/10, by either the grace of God, or just some good 'ol stepping his fucking game up, he has then, as somebody I know once eloquently put it, gone to the "next level." And everyone knows that once you're there, then there's no turning back.

At the end of the day, if a guy's a 4 and gets rejected by an 8, then fuck it, he knows she was out of his league and he was playing with house money anyway. Just remember next time to be like Abreau and don't swing at every fucking pitch. Next.

Women, however, are a completely different story. There's plenty of 3's, 4's, and 5's out there who know good and goddamn well that the only "dimes" they're fucking with are their change from Burger King. But like Tiger on the 18th, they are completely unfazed, and in their mind's they're the shit, despite looking like something that crawled off the set of Maury and possessing an attitude that would humble mostly anyone form My Super Sweet 16.

There's plenty of these minor leaguers that are barking up the wrong tree, bear clawed and all. Many of these B-leaguers who are, say 4's, are offended at the mere thought of even being approached by a guy who's anything less than a 9. Don't even bother to try and convince anyone from the JV team that they're not cut out to play in the big leagues, they just don't give a fuck. Scrub.

In conclusion, I really hope noone's offended by this. What I'm really trying to say is, don't let your ego keep you from being happy. The male race has had it's spirits beaten enough to know who can get what. And if you don't, then your an idiot. So ladies, ladies, ladies, be the shit. Just don't be shitty. There's a difference between settling down and just plain settling.

I also plan to start writing on a more nightly basis, sort of a column/editorial type thing. I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Abstinence programs don't work - preach safe sex, not no sex.

2008-05-30T23:37:00.000-07:00

About a year ago, I remember watching one of the prime time news shows and hearing about this new study on abstinence programs, like the ones where the kids wear "promise rings" that mean that they won't have sex until marriage. Well, the survey concluded that, at the end of the day, the programs were completely useless. I found an article about it here. At the end of the day, kids involved in such programs popped their cherries at the same age as the kids who didn't. They also have just as high, and in some cases higher, rate of unwanted pregnancies and STI's. The government wastes $176 million annually on such programs. Coupled with another study that said that 1 in every 4 high school girls has an STI, you have to ask where we fucked up.

At the end of the day, kids are going to have sex, regardless of whatever kinds of things grown ups shove down their throats. So it would be much more useful to educate them on safe sex, birth control, and contraceptives for their own benefit and well being. If a kid doesn't know how to properly use a condom, then you can't blame them when they come home with a kid of their own. You can, however, blame yourself for sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending like teenage sex doesn't happen. You could also ignore grizzly bears and hangnails, but that won't make them go away. Education is the key, not ignorance.

Oh yeah, baba booey baba booey.

Solar Power could save us - why the fuck aren't we doing anything about this!!!

2008-05-30T23:24:00.000-07:00

According to Digital Journal, and a lot of other people, including this guy I saw on Bill Maher, if we utilized the solar power that could be generated from 6 hot spots on our planet, we could power the entire Earth and then some. This would decrease our dependency on fossil fuels, decrease global warming, lower oil prices, and other good things. Why countries like the US aren't investing in these types of resources is ridiculous, choosing instead to waste money on the war. Seriously sometimes I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Christian group runs out of things to compian about, calls new Starbucks slutty.

2008-05-30T23:17:00.000-07:00

According to The BBC, some Christian group called The Resistance is calling a new Starbucks logo "slutty." I mean seriously, if this is the first place your mind goes with this, you need to have yourself checked out. I'm sure there are more pertinent issues at hand, like the president completely ignoring the environment and using tons of money fighting the war instead of saving the planet. But fuck it, let's just go kill some brown people and cover David's private parts too, how's that grab ya? Ridiculous. Plus, there's like, a billion other reasons to call out Starbucks.

100th post = did you see Kobe last night?

2008-05-22T16:53:00.001-07:00

Now, I'm not one to gloat, nor would I say that only a certain ilk root for that team in San Antonio, but Kobe is officially the shit. After vacationing in the Bermuda during the first half, in which he had 2 points from a total of 3 shots, the ghosts arrived and lit a fire up his ass. The Lakers summoned the spirits to come back from a 20, yes, twenty, point deficit in the 3rd quarter and win the game.

San Antonio was going to let Kobe have his shots. According to their strategy, they were going to let him score his 35 points and still win by playing their god-awfully slow game. But Mr. 1 Better Than Jordan (24) himself recognized this and refused to play in accordance with their game plan. Then, like going full force ahead and then flanking from both sides, a favorite move of General Patton himself, Bryant went off and that team from Central Texas got knocked off their heels and onto their asses. They never saw it coming.

Say what you will, but so will I. You can't stop what's coming.

Michael from "The Wire" is on the new 90210???? WTF!!!??

2008-05-19T18:58:00.001-07:00

So, how does it feel to go from a predominately black show, to, well, 90210???

quit the bullshit talk about 2012 already

2008-05-19T13:51:00.001-07:00

Refutation

In this age we are approaching the same count again, only there is a common misconception of the Maya's practice of abbreviating their dates to five vigesimal places. According to the Maya there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of the 13th 394 year period, but not the end of the world.^[10]

[edit] Inscriptions beyond 2012

Maya stelae occasionally show dates beyond 2012. Most of these are in the form of "distance dates", where a Long Count date is given with a distance date to be added. For example, on the Tablet of Inscriptions from Palenque the following Long Count date was found: 9.8.9.13.0 8 Ahau 13 Pop (24 March 603 Gregorian) with a distance date of 10.11.10.5.8. The resulting date is given as 1.0.0.0.0.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol,^[11] or 21 October 4772 – almost 3,000 years into the future. The king Pacal of Palenque predicted that on this date the eightieth Calendar Round anniversary of his accession will be celebrated, suggesting he did not believe the world would end in 2012.^[12]

[edit] Summary

Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We [the archaeological community] have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.^[13]

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."^[14]

first pic of Josh Brolin as George W.

2008-05-08T13:01:00.000-07:00

The Defamer has pics from EW of Josh Brolin made up and dressed as George W. Brolin will be playing W. in Oliver Stone's forthcoming biopic on the r-tard, which Stone hopes to have out by election time.

Now, I think it looks pretty accurate. Sure, there's plenty of look-alikes out there who resemble the President more, but they can't act worth a shit. Brolin, on the other hand, seems to have the swagger down. I'm really interested to see how this thing's going to turn out. Will Stone just go on bashing him for 120 minutes? Seems a little easy, and even people that hate the guy won't see it because they want nothing to do with him. I mean, if we've already lived through the horror, why pay $9 to relive it again?

It's pretty much over (according to the Drudge Report and Time Russert)

2008-05-07T14:47:00.000-07:00

So, according to Tim Russert and The Drudge Report (it's all over their front page, check it out), the race for the Democratic nomination is all but over.

There are many factors that play into why this came to be, but basically the math is not in Hillary's favor and it's hard for her to plead her case to the superdelegates when it's growing weaker by the day. She hasn't dropped out yet, and might not, considering "quit" doesn't seem to exist in the Clinton lexicon, but perhaps pressure from Dems to save the party might collapse her campaign. Al Gore even came out and said he might endorse a candidate (Obama), and plenty of big name Dems are looking to Obama as their guy. Check out the NY TImes article.

John Mayer and Judd Apatow team up for legendary video on Funny or Die!!!!

2008-05-07T12:54:00.001-07:00

OMG this shit is hilarious!!! It also has cameos from Kristen Bell, the Idian Guy from 40 Year Old Virgin, the black guy from Curb your Enthusiasm, and the kid with the glasses from Freaks and Geeks (you wouldn't know their real names).

Let me take this time the comment on something people probably don't know: John Mayer has tons of street cred. More than Nelly, Soulja Boy, and Weezy combined. Fuck what you heard, he's the shit. In addition to this video, he also did a parody of "2 Girls One Cup," collaborated with Kanye West and Alicia Keys, appeared on Chappelle's Show, writes a hilarious blog, does stand up comedy, and is constantly spotted rocking dope street wear like BAPE and Visvism. So yeah, he's a pretty cool guy.

new trailer for "The Rocker"

2008-05-07T12:46:00.000-07:00

Yahoo has a new trailer for the film The Rocker here.

The movie comes out August 1st, and should be funny. It stars Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office), Will Arnett, and Jeff Garland.

Jonah Hill is very very smart.

2008-05-07T12:37:00.000-07:00

According to Cinematical, Jonah Hill has dropped out of negotiations and will not star in Transformers 2. And peace and order were restored to the galaxy.

I, like a lot of Jonah fans, hated this move for a few reasons. For one, Transformers was one of the most overindulgent, plot-holed, expensive-looking turds ever to tumble out of the anus that is Michael Bay. Therefore, the sequel could only end up being that much more dazzingly god-awful.

Also, it's a kid's movie, so Jonah Hill obviously couldn't do a lot of the same jokes he's notorious for, therefore rendering him helpless and crippled like a baby deer. So good for Jonah.

new Jeezy feat. Kanye West - "Put On"

2008-05-06T16:25:00.000-07:00

it's a celebration bitches!!!

2008-05-05T21:11:00.000-07:00

Kobe Bean Bryant has officially been named MVP, and holy shit I think every internal organ in my body has exploded!!!

I've been sitting on this for a while but decided not to blog about it until it was official official. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news: me and my brothers were just getting in the car after the Kanye concert (which was balls to the wall the shit, N*E*R*D blew the fuckin doors off that thing) and my brother returned a missed call from my mom and she told us. Pure euphoria. I'll never forget the phosphorescent glow that emitted from my shiny little heart.

The Lakers are holding a press conference tomorrow, and he's getting the award before the game Wednesday. It's been over a decade and now my dream has come true. The GOAT!!!!

Look at what Kanye posted about the Houston show lol.

2008-05-04T22:13:00.001-07:00

HOUSTON I LOVE YOU!

05.04.2008

Don't believe the hype! When I started the show the other night we were having a lot of technical issues due 2 the heat. The 2 huge screens on both sides of the stage were glaring bright blue like when your DVD player acts up at home. I asked for them 2 turn the screens off 3 times because it was distracting 2 the show. The fans were not getting what they paid for. I admit, in my frustration, I did use profanity on the 4th time I asked. I stopped the show 2 go over and check it out myself. After the screens were turned off I started the same song from the beginning. The screens were eventually fixed 5 songs in but it was definitely better 2 have them blacked out rather than bright blue. Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 'Michael Jackson' me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place... they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego! That joke is getting old. At a certain point you have 2 respect that I'm one of the last artist that still cares about the fans having the best time of there lives! Thanks 2 Bossip and Perez for taking it easy on me on the EW spaz... I did go in a little 2 much on that one. I'm sure there are some cool people who work over there and had nothing 2 do with that review. With all that said.... "I'm still the greatest!!!" lol!! Oh and I was in the studio with T.I. last night.... so get ready!!!

new Justice video - "Stress"

2008-05-02T11:20:00.000-07:00

This video is extremely violent and sure to cause contraversy, yet in a very cinematic way. It's "La Haine" meets "City of God" meets "The Warriors," which is pretty much the illest combo ever.

BUY MORE SHIT!!!

2008-04-30T20:44:00.000-07:00

According to the NY Times, I probably should go out and get that Blu-Ray player. See mom, I'm saving the fucking country!!!

According to reports, Kate Moss has booked a restaurant for a reception, probably for a wedding. She's set to settle down with the guy from The Kills, which is a kick ass band, so he must be pretty cool.

The Apocalypse never looked so cool.

The death of our planet doesn't necessarily mean the death of chic. After the ice caps melt and our air turns to poison, we'll look good when the aliens come and find our corpses.

Man Locks His Daughter in the Basement for 24 Years, Children Never See Daylight

2008-04-28T17:13:00.000-07:00

This is truly disturbing.

According to CNN, a man in Austria admitted to locking his daughter up in the basement for 24 years. Basically, he started sexually molesting her when she was 11, and when she turned 18 he drugged her and locked her up in the basement. For the next 24 years, she lived down there and he would go down there and rape her. His wife, and everybody else, had no idea what was going on because he said she ran away and forced her to write a letter saying it was true.

There was only one tiny entrance behind some shelves, and it had a keypad lock on it. The basement was soundproof.

She also gave birth to 6 kids (that survived, one died and he put it in the oven), 3 of which he brought up to the house and claimed his daughter left them on the doorstep. The other 3 (ages 19, 18, and 5) spent their whole lives in the basement! That means they've never seen sunlight. Wow.

lol

2008-04-28T17:10:00.000-07:00

Sorry for posting so many videos (this is my last I swear!) but I absolutely had to post this. It's kinda hilarious and borderline genius, sure to put a smile on that mean mug of yours.

2008-04-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

According to Cinematical, Mike Judge is set to make his new film entitled Extract starring the one and only Jason The Bate-man himself. Anything (except for The Ex) he does is awesome, so I can't wait. Details are scarce, but who gives a fuck. It's Jason Bateman!

Details are a bit sketchy at the moment, but the viral website Why So Serious has been updated, and that shit is creepy! Keeping with the tradition so far, the viral marketing campaign for the new Batman movie has been amazing.

You can click on the President's photos and it has a countdown and a location. This shit is awesome!!!

In case you haven't heard of the Sean Bell case, here's the NY Times article here.

All I can say is, as an innocent person living in the United States, I'm scared shitless. Sometimes things like this just will never be understood.

Dwayne Wade is dating Star Jones?!?!

2008-04-23T21:11:00.000-07:00

Holy shit, this dude just can't stop takin L's can he? According to new reports, D-Wade, AKA the new Penny Hardaway (and not in a good way, that dude used to have ill ass commercials back in the day too, til of course he fell the fuck off), is running faster down that slippery slope and dating It That is Known as Star. Wonder if he had to bump Chuck out of his top 5.

A dude has one good year and everyone wants to crown his ass. Then, of course, they crack under the pressure of being compared to Kobe and quit after their team earns the shittiest record in the league (while playing in the JV East by the way). That's what separates the men from the boys I guess. From The Flash to The Flash in the Pan.

Enjoy the abyss and tell Damon Stoudamire I said what's up.

happy fuck the earth day!!!
