Kanye West - "Love Lockdown" (New Single) Performed at MTV VMA's

I didn't watch the VMA's the other night because, well, they suck now. There's never anything worthwhile and it's not worth wasting hours sitting through a bunch of crap when you could just wait for the best clips online the next day. So I did that and found this...

Kanye performed his new single "Love Lockdown" and I have to say I am confused. It's definitely a dope track once you get used to the fact that the stripped down beat never really gets going and Kanye is basically singing with the help of Auto Tune and the Vocoder sound.

It's tough to deal with at first but I could get down with it after awhile. Kanye has been singing and using Auto Tune (the T-Pain Sound) a lot more lately so I wonder if he is shifting to this style on the next album. I hope to God that he is not because that sound and style needs to die ASAP. Hopefully he sticks to the script and gives us the usual Kanye style of dope beats and braggadocios rhymes but you never know with him because he's definitely slightly crazy. He seems like he is starting to fall in love with this style but I hope it is just a quick fad and not a permanent switch.

Here he is doing the same type of thing on Lil Wayne's Lollipop Remix but it's definitely more rapping than singing:

BALLIN'! - Ray Allen's WA House For Sale - Now Only $5.2 Million

Damn.  I always wondered what kind of house I could buy when I grew up to be a rich athlete.  This is it right here.  I have yet to come to the realization that I am not nor will I ever be a rich athlete but maybe I can pull off a big lottery win or rob a bank in the near future.  I can always dream, right?

Ray Allen's house in Washington is a perfect example of a dope ass house that none of us will ever own or even be allowed to step foot in. He put it on the market for $6 million but is having trouble selling it (go figure!) and has dropped the asking price to $5.2 million.  Luxist.com recently posted an article with these pictures (and more) to give us an inside look at what its like when you have a officiall "Balla Status".  Here are a few of the best:

Tiger Woods '09 - "Square Peg, Round Hole" Viral Video

I thought the "Walk On Water" vid was pretty slick but I like this one a little bit more. It definitely looks real and is somewhat believable since it's Tiger ma'fu*@in' Woods! Is this fake?  Most likely.  Could Tiger probably do this if he tried hard enough?  No doubt!

Here's the previously mentioned "Walk On Water" video that circled a few weeks ago to help promote Tiger Woods 09 from EA Sports.

FaceBook In Reality - idiotsofants.com and BBC'sThe Wall

This video has obviously been circulating for some time considering it has over 1.4 million views but I just saw it the other day and thought it was pretty damn funny. I think the mumbling London accents of these blokes made it that much better!

Technology has made it a lot easier for people to connect and stay in touch but once you break it down like this, it gets a little creepy. It kind of makes you wonder why you even use these sites like FaceBook and MySpace if you don't even want to communicate with half of these people anyway. If you really wanted to stay in touch with them, wouldn't you just call, email or text them anyhow? I barely use either of the services but it is a good way to catch up with some random people every once in awhile or to promote the hell out of your band or website. But if someone came up to my door and started talking like that, I would definitely punch them in the face and tell them to kick rocks...

Retro Kidz "New Era" - Official Music Video

Retro Kidz "New Era" Official Music Video


This just hit my Inbox and all I can say is HOLY SHIT! This is one of the sickest videos I have ever seen! I like what the Retro Kidz are doing and I am definitely going to start following them to see what else they are up to in the near future. Keep making them like this and I will promote the hell out of y'all!

There are so many damn 90's references in here I lost track after the original Walkman, Reebok Omni Zone pumps, Kenny Anderson Nets jersey and the high top fades! I mean, this is EXACTLY all of the shit I loved back in the day since this was right around the time when I started to really love Hip Hop. I was wearing this shit and rockin' any Hip Hop I could find to listen to for the bus ride to school.

The track is catchy as hell too since it samples parts of "I Got the Power" first by Chill Rob G and then redone by Snap! for the version that everyone knows now. I looked this shit up on Wikipedia because I forgot Chill Rob G's name and I thought Snap! bit his track but check this out if this is actually true:

Benito Benites and John "Virgo" Garrett III first released the song in 1990 on the Wild Pitch Records label in the United States calling themselves "Power Jam (featuring Chill Rob G)". However, they failed to legally clear samples in the song. The song contained samples from "Let the Words Flow" by Chill Rob G, "Love's Gonna Get You" by Jocelyn Brown, and "King Of The Beats" by Mantronix. The song was re-recorded in the U.S. in response to the unlicensed samples with Durron Butler (Turbo B.) replacing the acapella vocal of Chill Rob G, and for this new version they adopted the name "Snap!".

That's fucked up! I feel bad for Chill Rob G. He had a few decent tracks in his career but he missed out on a serious money maker once he was pushed off the newer version of the track. WTF! I would be pissed as hell! I actually like the Chill Rob G version better too. The lyrics are actually saying something and it's not just a dance track. Check it:

T.O's Starting Gate Touchdown Celebration - Usain Bolt Shout Out?

I thought the new T.O. Touchdown Celebration was pretty solid. It was definitely funny and original and a nice reference to Usain Bolt killing everyone by 10 yards in every race of this summer's Olympics.

I would love to see those two in a straight up 100M race. Although Bolt would most likely win, you might be surprised at how fast Owens really is and how close it might be. They are both very similar in size and stride so it would be cool to see them battle it out for some cash. T.O. says he could win if he got a 20 Yard head start but I really doubt he needs it.

T.O. ended up getting a 15 yard penalty on the kick off for "Unsportsman Like Conduct". Seriously NFL? Get a sense of humor and lighten up. That really wasn't that bad and was pretty funny. People love seeing players like him and Chad Johnson each week because you never know what they are going to do next. It keeps people watching, which is part of entertainment. Ocho Cinco and T.O. realize this is just a sport and it's supposed to be fun so let them have their antics. It's not hurting anyone.

Peep the dope Jordan III cleats that T.O. is rocking as well. Sick! They look great in pictures but even cooler on the field.
