Very underrated yet powerful collabo from 2000. It’s funny to think that DJ Clue was like the late 90’s DJ Khaled. How sick would that be as an SAT analogy question? It sucks that Royce never blew up like he should because I think he’s got the goods. I highly recommend his mixtape The Bar Exam. That is truly one of the best mixtapes I’ve ever heard.

This was off a pretty solid album from the Attic Crew (ATL) back in 2003 (I think) featuring a soon-to-be-superstar T.I. Remains one of my favorite southern rap songs ever and definitely one of my top T.I. songs. It has also been copied endlessly by everyone fron Jay-Z to Three 6 Mafia.

Was gonna go see a movie tonight but it got too late and what do you know, High School High is on.

And the soundtrack had the joint “Wu Wear” on it…

looking back at this video, it’s crazy that all the members got solo deals and also crazy to see how much they cared about their outfits back then. Not saying there aren’t artists now who care just as much, but a lot of these dudes kinda gave up on dressing with the exception of maybe Ghost and Meth.

The Rick Hoffman story continues with consumer watchdog Barry Reeves testing Hoffman’s claims in this classic episode of “I Call Foul.” How amazing is the theme song? Inspired by the “Fight Back” theme song(it’s in the bottom left corner of the page). Video after the jump. (more…)

There’s no reason I posted a picture of Princess Peach except that when I googled “peach”, she came up. Here’s the pic I should be posting

Anyway, I love peaches. They’ve been one of my favorite fruits since childhood along with apples, grapes, pears, oranges, papayas, mangos and plums. However, last night I was rather hungry around 11PM and I went for a peach in the fruit bowl in my kitchen. I devoured it within 2 minutes and went back to my computer to finish up some emails. All of a suddent my lips started stinging and the roof of my mouth started itching. I didn’t really pay much attention to it as I thought maybe I was just dehydrated, so I drank some water. Then my lips started swelling up and my throat started itching. I googled “peach allergy” and found out that I may suffer from Oral Allergy Syndrome. How much does that suck? I’ve enjoyed peaches my whole life and then all of a sudden, at 26, I’m allergic. I think I might have to just fight through this one. It’s so hard…to say goodbye…to peaches.

I posted about the Play Cloths debut this summer and I love what I’m seeing here. You can catch the back of the jacket in the clip of him and Wale performing “Back In The Go Go.”

NEW YORK – “Late Show” host David Letterman kept up a verbal assault on John McCain Thursday, saying he felt like an “ugly date” because the GOP presidential candidate backed out of a scheduled appearance on his talk show.

The night before, Letterman had said McCain’s decision to suspend his campaign to deal with the economic crisis “didn’t smell right.” Letterman substituted MSNBC’s “Countdown” host — and critic of the Arizona senator — Keith Olbermann as a substitute when McCain called him to say he wouldn’t appear Wednesday.
The talk show host was unhappy when McCain sat for an interview with Katie Couric instead of him Wednesday — and even more perturbed to learn that McCain didn’t leave New York until Thursday.

I don’t think people understand how unprofessional this kind of behavior is in any context, let alone for the Republican Presidential Candidate. He basically just shat all over a bunch of American’s jobs (from Letterman all the way on down to the production assistant on the show) and lied about it. If he hadn’t lied about it, it still would have been lame but mildly understandable. BUT HE LIED…and it wasn’t like Letterman wasn’t going to find out about it; he and Katie Couric are on the SAME NETWORK.
