TuneUp Contest - Win A Copy of TuneUp To Clean Up Your iTunes Library


If you've been to DjRyB.com in the past month or so you've probably noticed the ad I'm running in the right hand column for TuneUp Media.  TuneUp is an iTunes application that allows you to clean up your library of music "automagically".  If you've ever downloaded a song from a sketchy file sharing site, then you are probably missing a lot of song and album information (aka metadata) or it might just be labeled incorrectly all together.  You might also be missing album art and although you can add that manually, if you have thousands of songs like I do, it would be very time consuming and frustrating to do it that way.

TuneUp loads on the right hand side of iTunes and can be minimized if needed.  In order to fix songs or album art, all you need to do is highlight them and drag them to the right hand column or you can have TuneUp search for them automatically.   


Timbaland ft. Drake - "Say Something" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)


I thought I would be sick of Drake by now since he seems to release a new song or make another guest appearance almost every other week but it's tough to be mad at him because he just keep making hits.  This latest appearance on Timbaland's "Say Something" Timbaland - Shock Value II - Say Something (feat. Drake) is no exception considering that he carries the entire song with both the rap and the sing song hook.  Dude just keeps killin' it!

The beat is super chill but still gets your head nodding in the way that only Timbaland seems to be able to do.  It's definitely on some other shit but that's how he does it.  Timbo makes the music he wants to make which always seems to be way ahead of it's time and then let's everyone else catch up while he's "On To The Next One".  I haven't had a chance to check out Timbaland's new album Shock Value II Timbaland - Shock Value II yet but hopefully it's on par with the original Shock Value which was on fire from beginning to end. 

If you have heard or bought Shock Value II already, let me know what you think about it in the comments.

"The REAL Situation" Ft. The Situation, Snooki, and Pauly D (FUNNY)



Yup. It's another Jersey Shore related post. I can't help it. This is the most addicting train wreck I have ever seen in my life. I just can't get enough of anything that has to do with the show and it's cast.

You've gotta respect The Situation, Snooki and Pauly D at least a little bit.  They don't seem to take themselves too seriously and can even make a joke about their Guido ways.   First it was their fake game show appearance on The Jay Leno Show and now it's this Funny or Die video above making fun of their "characters" on the show. 

I thought The Situation played it well and he even sounded somewhat intelligent for a few seconds.  My favorite part of the video had to be Pauly D's awful British accent which switched to an Australian/Swedish/New Zealand/South African accent half way through the skit.  Classic!

Fans Throw Foam Fingers Onto the Court During Cavs vs. Lakers Game On Christmas Day (CLASSY)


I didn't catch this madness during the Cavs vs. Lakers game on Christmas Day because I was busy doing family stuff and was banned from watching TV for the most part but all I can say is HOLY SHIT! This is freakin' hysterical and completely out of control. 

The fans were only throwing foam fingers so no one could really get hurt but it's still insane that fans would be throwing anything on the court these days, especially after the debacle in Detroit (aka the Malice in the Palace) just a few years ago. I can't believe this ridiculous behavior happened on Christmas too. Idiots!

You stay classy, Los Angeles!

"I'm On a Mac" - Spoof of I'm On a Boat (SEMI-AMUSING)


The "I'm On a Mac" spoof is definitely way better than I expected but nothing can F*** with the original “I’m On a Boat”. That's just an all time classic that can never be duplicated.  I do give these guys credit for their high production values with both the music and video.  Not bad at all.  They actually rapped on beat too which I definitely was not expecting.  Be warned, there’s lots of nerd heavy Mac language but it’s still pretty funny...especially if you own a Mac. 

While we're talking about "I'm On a Boat", we might as well give it another view.  This never gets old!

Skillz - "2009 Rap Up" (COOL)


Ah yes! The Skillz "2009 Rap Up" is finally here!  He always breaks down the madness and drama of the past year perfectly. I wish he would put out new music more regularly though.. He definitely has some serious "skills" and he's one of my favorite underground/under-the-radar rappers. I never hear a ton of new material from him but maybe it's because he's too busy cashing checks for being a "Ghostwriter".  Go cop his old shit if you've never heard it and are in the mood for some real Hip Hop.

Christmas Kicks 2009 - Boston Celtics Edition


There were a lot of cool looking Christmas colorways on the sneakers of NBA players this year since there were 5 different games to choose from but I was most interested in the Celtics kicks. They already have the green in their uniforms and it makes the most sense for them to wear the Christmas colors.

Here's a quick look at what the players were wearing on their feet on Christmas Day:

Alyssa Milano's Jersey Shore Evolution (FUNNY)



DAMN! Who would have thought that Alyssa Milano actually had a sense of humor? She could be J-Wow's sister after transforming into a Jersey Shore Guidet. It makes you wonder how many of these cheesy chicks could actually be attractive if they put a little effort into it. Although, if you did the reverse procedure on J-Wow, I don't think the results would exactly be the same.

In case you didn't realize, this is a parody of the following video that takes a plain looking chick and turns her into a supermodel with the help of some makeup artists and Photoshop:


Peep this video montage with some of the best pics of Alyssa Milano you will ever find on the internet. She's still hot as F***!!!

Baron Davis No-Look Alley Oop to DeAndre Jordan vs. Celtics (SICK)


I hope you didn't stay up late last night to watch the Celtics play the Clippers like I did because it was a real disappointment. The Celtics were in the lead most of the game and then they let the Clippers come back and win with a buzzer beater by Baron Davis. Ugh.

The Clippers also had the play of the night (other than the buzzer beater) when Davis made a spin dribble move at the free throw line and then threw a no-look alley oop to DeAndre Jordan for a sick dunk (above). DAMN! That was just nasty!  I can't even get mad at something like that.  It was just an unbelievable play. 

Rondo was hitting some crazy shots and floaters in the lane and had a pretty nice game with 20 Pts. but he also missed 2 free throws with one second left on the clock that could have given the Celtics the lead.  WTF happened Rondo?!?!  No one else on the Celtics even had over 13 points which does not help the cause.  I love Rondo but he should never be the leading scorer.  That is never a good sign. 

Doc Rivers was also playing Tony Allen, Scalabrine and Big Baby way too many minutes, although Tony and BBD both looked pretty good.  Somehow Scal and BBD have catapulted over Sheldon Williams (who saw zero minutes again) in the rotation even though he provided a spark off the bench for some solid rebounding, defense and even a little offense down low earlier in the season. Scal has proven absolutely nothing to me to signify that he should be getting minutes over Williams or anyone for that mater. It's gotten to the point where I am starting to think Scal has some Tiger Woods type blackmail material on Doc because there is absolutely no reason why he should be getting ANY playing time, yet alone 20-25 minutes. He F***** SUCKS!!!

Kim Kardashian's Carl's Jr. Commercial (MAKING SALAD SEXY)


WOW!  That was UNBELIEVABLE! This new Carl's Jr. commercial starring Kim Kardashian definitely just jumped into my Top 5 favorite commercials of 2009. I will give Carl's Jr. some props because they definitely know how to sell their product! Just take a look at the Paris Hilton and Audrina Patridge commercials.  UNREAL! 


I just wish they had some Carl's Jr. restaurants on the East Coast so I could see this commercial randomly throughout the day.  That would just make my day and possibly get me to make a visit to buy some fat inducing burgers.   

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOFO's!!!

Ryan Leslie - "You're Not My Girl" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)


Ryan Leslie's new single "You're Not My Girl" has been out for awhile now but I'm really just starting to get into it lately. It's a dope R&B track that has that throwback feel. The more I hear it, the more I like it.  I feel like this should be a bigger hit than it is right now but maybe it will just take some time to build. 

Ryan Leslie is probably one of the more underrated R&B artists in the game right now. You really don't hear much about him (which could be the label's fault) but he keeps putting out solid material and great singles with each album.  He put out his first album Ryan Leslie Ryan Leslie - Ryan Leslie and second album Transition Ryan Leslie - Transition within 9 months of each other and both in 2009.  That's on some DMX ish!  Dude is puttin' in work! 

"How It Was Supposed To Be" Ryan Leslie - Ryan Leslie - How It Was Supposed to Be is one of his best tracks. The hook is catchy as hell and the beat is on point.  This version adds a little extra guitar to the original mix but it definitely works:


"Diamond Girl" Ryan Leslie - Ryan Leslie - Diamond Girl is also another one of my favorites.  Once again, it's a very catchy hook and has a sick beat that will get you bobbin' your head. 


I'm not a huge fan of "Addiction" (featuring Cassie and Fabolous) Ryan Leslie - Addiction (feat. Cassie & Fabolous) - Single - Addiction but it's still a decent track and it's starting to grow on me. I think they would have been better off with someone that was a better singer than Cassie but what can you do.  The ladies definitely seem to like this one so that's probably all that matters.

Snooki Street Fighter (JERSEY SHORE)


Something like this was bound to happen. The footage of Snooki getting smashed by some random dude on MTV's Jersey Shore was too good for internet nerds to pass up. Remixing it with the classic video game Street Fighter just took it to the next level.  The only thing missing was the "SHORYUKEN!" (I always thought it was HAYOUKID!) thing that Ryu would yell before beating the crap out of someone.  I used to freakin' love that game. 

Anyway, I feel really bad for Snooki getting drilled like that and it was definitely not cool for that guy to hit her but I think even she might find this parody a little funny at this point.  It was weak that MTV didn't show the actual fight footage on the last episode though.  I didn't see the point of leaving it out if everyone already saw it on the internet anyway. 

Here is another parody with the same idea but this one uses Mike Tyson's Punch Out!  Not bad.

First Official Iron Man 2 Trailer (COOL)


This new trailer for Iron Man 2 definitely got me hyped up. This looks like it could be as good as the first if not better. The problem is the movie doesn't hit theaters until May 7th, 2010. WTF?!?!? Why are you getting me all fired up like that and then making me wait 5 months?!?! That's some WEAK ISH!

Boyz II Men Rocks It Acapella On "The Sing-Off" (COOL)


I don't watch "The Sing-Off" because I'm not a chick but there was actually something kind of cool that happened during last night's episode which I found out through the wonders of the internet. Boyz II Men showed up (sans Michael McCary) and performed an acapella of "Yesterday" and "End of the Road".  They sounded awesome and almost like old times except for the fact that they were missing McCary's bass that really completes their sound.  It was still a great performance though.  

Boyz II Men is still one of my favorite R&B groups of all time.  They have and amazing sound that is very unique when compared to groups of the past 20 years.  If you sent them back in time, they could have easily made hits with all of the greats on Motown Records.   They also have an amazing catalog of hit songs that I somehow seem to forget about until one starts playing on iTunes randomly and I start singing along.

I'm surprised that these guys have faded away a little bit over the past 10 years or so but I could easilly see them making a resurgence with some new material.  Their sound is timeless and they will always be stars in the music business as long as they want to keep making music.  It sounds like all 4 members are going to reunite in 2011 for a 20 year anniversary album.  That's definitely something to look forward to and I'm sure they won't disappoint with that one.

While we're here, we might as well take a look at some of their best joints.  "Motown Philly" was my JAM back in middle school!  It's still nasty as hell too! (Look for The Roots' ?uestlove on the drums at 1:38. So random!)


"Thank You" was also one of my favorite tracks on their second album "II"


More old school Boyz II Men vids after the jump.

"Dunkin' On That Reindeer" - KRS-One, Lupe Fiasco and the Kobe & LeBron Puppets (AWESOME NIKE COMMERCIALS)


Oh man! This is hysterical! Just when I thought the Kobe and LeBron Puppet commercials were starting to fall off, they come hard with a nasty rap video starring KRS-One as Santa and Lupe Fiasco as Blitzen. SICK!

The song is on point with the throwback reference to Boogie Down Production's "The Bridge Is Over" and they even chopped and screwed the LeBron puppet saying "Dunkin' On That Reindeer! Dun-Dunkin' On That Reindeer"!  HA HA!  LOVE IT!!!

Here are two other commercials giving Santa and Blitzen their individual shine on the M.I.C.  No disrespect to Santa but I thought Blitzen killed it and took it to the next level with that sick dance.  That's what's up!

Nike Air Max 90 Premium "Laser Blue" w/ Ostrich Leather (FRESH)


The new Nike Air Max 90 "Laser Blue" is one of the best new AM90 colorways that I've seen in a long time. The "Laser Blue" (almost Carolina Blue?) really jumps off of the black, white and gray colors on the rest of the shoe. The black mudguard is made with Ostrich Leather just like the Premium Infrared Air Max 90's that released in late 2008.  It's defintiely a nice touch on an already great looking shoe.  

No word on when and where these will be released but it sounds like they will be available in Nike Sportswear retailers very soon.  They were recently available at VMVinc.com but have already sold out.

Rakim - Euphoria" Ft. Styles P, Jadakiss & Busta Rhymes (DOPE)


It's possible you may have missed the release of Rakim's new album "The Seventh Seal" because it completely fell under the radar somehow.  It quietly released a few weeks ago and the only reason why I knew it had dropped was because I happened to be in the new Hip Hop releases section in iTunes. 

If you haven't heard or bought the album yet, I recommend that you do so immediately.  It's by far one of the best Hip Hop albums of 2009 and it won't disappoint any true Rakim fan or Hip Hop head.  Ra brings the heat as usual and makes you forget about the Dr. Dre debacle or the fact that he has made us all wait a full decade for a new album.

Every track is bumpin' and you won't want to fast forward any tracks in fear of missing that next quotable from one of the G.O.A.T.'s.  It's one of those albums that you pop on for the first time and then immediately put it on repeat and listen to it all the way through again.  It's that hot!  To check out some more in depth reviews, click here, here or here (check the comments on this last one for the "real" review).  

DOWNLOAD Rakim's "The Seventh Seal" now from Rakim - The Seventh Seal


The track "Euphoria" isn't even on the album (although it should have been) but it's a perfect example of what you can expect to hear from a still hungry Rakim.  Jadakiss, Styles P and Busta definitely came hard as well.

Eddie House's Amazing Play vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (UNREAL)


I completely forgot that the Celtics were playing last night so I didn't catch most of the game until late in the 4th quarter. It turns out I missed one of the best highlights of the season when Eddie House made a steal and then saved the ball from going out of bounds with a behind the back pass to Tony Allen for a sick dunk in Corey Brewer's face and the foul.

WOW! That was SICK!!!

Air Jordan IX Citrus (CRISPY)


The Air Jordan IX might be one of the most underrated designs of the entire Air Jordan collection.  A lot of people would consider it to be one of the Top 10 Air Jordan's but it never seems to get mentioned in random conversations unless you force people to start listing their favorites.  It might be on the lower end of the list but it's still there.  It's like the Rodney Dangerfield of Air Jordan's.  It gets no respect. 

The Black/Citrus/White Colorway is expected to drop at some point in the Summer of 2010. These are really fresh and clean with the very underused Citrus Orange highlights. The bright orange really pops off of both the black and white areas of the shoe. These would be perfect for a die hard Syracuse fan or anyone looking to diversify the colorways in their sneaker collection.

I would love to see the Air Jordan IX come out in a few more colorways, especially the original White/Black/Red that we've seen on the Air Force One Fusions recently.


The Powder Blue (aka Carolina Blue) colorway will be releasing next year as well.  Hopefully there will be a few more surprises along the way that we haven't heard about yet. I will definitely be copping a few pairs of the Nine's in 2010.  Even I have slept on the AJ IX because I don't even have one pair in my collection. Not Cool!
