I thought Bart Simpson and Frosted Flakes pieces were ridiculous. This tops them all folks

And remember these?

Wale stopped into Travis Barker’s studio in LA two weeks ago before the X-Games Pre-Party to lay down a verse for Travis’ solo album. Travis then laid down some live drums on a Wale album cut, “G Told Me” produced by Sean C & LV (”Roc Boys”). Here’s a sneak peak thanks to DJ Alizay

I’m about 100 pages into Anthony Kiedis’ autobiography, Scar Tissue, and I gotta say, it’s a very good read. For those who don’t know, Kiedis is the lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love their first album, Freaky Styley, as it was produced by George Clinto and was very much a prism for a number of different musical genres.

Anyway, I love non-fiction but rarely read autobiographies and this is most certainly worth the read. Check out their video for “Californication”:

This next one is prolly one of the best concerts I ever went to…Roger Troutman aka Zapp in 1997. He was murdered two years later.

Oh man…Prince Musicology Tour…saw him four times, twice in Boston and twice in ATL. This ticket is from when I sat first row. Wow.

And I remember this UCLA game against OSU. This was my first time seeing Brent Barry play and man, was he something in college. I got the back of the ticket autographed by the great John Wooden too.


And Lakers v Bulls from 1997? Jordan had 27 points this game, Pippen had 22. Lakers won 106-90. Kobe played 13 minutes. My how times have changed

I was going through an old box of mine and found a bunch of old tickets I had saved. Man does this bring back memories. Got some corresponding clips after the jump (more…)

The above is a commercial that runs before the movie.

My boy Alex put me onto this song. It’s kinda old but the song is dope. Jury is still out on the video though. The song is not only very catchy but the lyrics are pretty on point; especially the chorus.

Spotted this on Kanye’s blog. As a proud Prius owner for almost a year, I love this commercial.

Now that Madden finally dropped I think it’s worth talking about this song since it’s featured on it. This song is over 2 years old but has made quite the journey from DC to 100 MILES & RUNNING to a Redskins playoffs remix to Madden09. Does it have life beyond this? I think so. Is the country ready for the Huck-a-Bucks sample, HitterQuitter’s production and Wale’s flow on this record? I tink so. Peep the DJ Infamous remix for the Levi’s Unbutton Me campaign.

I saw a shorter clip of Jay performing “Wonderwall” but I didn’t catch “99 Problems” till just now. I love how the band goes into AC/DC “Back In Black” for the 2nd verse. Sounds great. Most people don’t know this but Wale actually played Glastonbury in 2007. He flew there for one day and got his bag confiscated by airport police in Dulles on his way to LDN. Then at the festival, it was torrential rain and mud, and he killed his black spizikes. However, judging by the footage below, you would never know it!

And do people even remember that Wale performed at the VMA’s last year?

And speaking of VMA’s, remember Chris Brown’s performance? Right before Wale?
