Lil' Bill O'Reilly Rocks!!!

I just lost my ish watching this for the first time!  This is absolutely hysterical.  This kid has O'Reilly's mannerisms, speech pattern and ridiculous flip outs down to a science.  Man I hate that guy.  He must have gotten beaten up all the time as a kid and now he is on a power trip and taking it out on the world.  Tool.  

"F%$k It!  We'll do it live!"

Bonus O'Reilly madness - "I am proof God exists".

WTF?

DJ Clark Kent On Sneakers, Beats, B.I.G. and Jay-Z (NHTVSN Episode 2)

NHTVSN Episode 2 Part 2.1 from NHTVSN on Vimeo.

This is a hot feature on DJ Clark Kent from www.nhtvsn.com. You get to learn a lot about him as a DJ and producer as well as some inside stories about Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G. He's been big in rap the game for a minute but in case you aren't too familiar with him, here's a quick bio from Wikipedia:

As a producer, Clark scored his first bonafied street hit with the Junior M.A.F.I.A. song "Get Money" which featured The Notorious B.I.G. and was also the first record that Lil' Kim appeared on. He also produced tracks for artists such as 50 Cent, Lil' Kim, the Notorious B.I.G., Canibus, Lil' Vicious, Mona Lisa, Slick Rick, and Rakim as well as groups such as The Future Sound and Original Flavor. Original Flavor, on their single "Can I Get Open", featured a guest appearance by a then little known rapper named Jay-Z.

This would lead to further collaborations between the two, as Franklin would go on to produce three tracks on Jay-Z's critically acclaimed debut album, Reasonable Doubt. The tracks were: "Brooklyn's Finest", which featured Notorious B.I.G., "Coming of Age" and "Cashmere Thoughts." On his (then) retirement album The Black Album, Jay-Z alludes to Clark Kent's role in helping him break into the industry, in the last song on the album (ironically titled "My 1st Song").

DJ CK is also a big sneakerhead and shows us a few of his gems at the beginning of the vid. He loves Air Force 1's and a couple of the highlights include a Gold, Silver and Bronze joint and a Jackie Robinson tribute AF1. Sick!

Red Sox Pull Off Game 1 Win In ALDS

As I predicted yesterday, I was not able to stay awake for the entire Sox game last night.  Actually, I fell asleep at like 11:00 around the 3rd or 4th Inning.  I feel like a 75 year old man in the middle of the week.  I don't know what it is.  I guess I made the mistake of trying to watch the game in bed.  Bad move.  Instant coma within 15 minutes.  I need to stay on my feet!

Anyway, from what I saw for the first few innings, I thought the Sox were in for a long night.  Lester started off slow and got in trouble the first two innings but got out of it fairly unscathed except for that one RBI by Hunter.  Had Lowrie not made that error, Lester may have ended up pitching 7 shut out innings.  From what I saw on SportsCenter highlights, Lester got in a groove in the later innings and started mowing the Angels down one by one and even struck out the side in either the 5th or 6th.

Ortiz had a few opportunities to knock in some runs early but nothing was happening.  Luckily, Jason Bay stepped up and crushed a HR to put the Sox ahead 2-1 and they didn't look back.  Sick win in Game 1 and to steal one on the road.  Let's hope they can get some similar pitching on Friday night when Dice-K takes the mound.

Here are some morning recaps from Game 1:

Red Sox vs. Angels ALDS Game 1 Preview

Game 1 of the ALDS starts tonight at 10 PM and I have to admit, I'm not that into it this year.  I don't feel too positive about this Sox team because of all the injuries and ultimately, they just don't excite me like teams of the past.  I don't know what it is but hopefully I can get out of my funk once the game actually starts.

It will be tough getting fired up with this late west coast start, though.  How are young kids supposed to follow their team when the game starts so late on a school night?  I can't even keep my eyes open past 11 PM on a weeknight so there is a good chance I am going to be catching this on SportsCenter in the morning.

Here's a couple of quick links to get you fired up about the series and help you learn a little more about the Angels:

ESPN Gave Lil Wayne a Blog? WTF?!?!

If you've been creeping around ESPN.com lately, you might have already known this but I just found out that Weezy F. Baby is now an official celebrity blogger for ESPN The Magazine.  The combination seems strange at first but it turns out that Lil Wayne is a huge sports fan.  It must be easy to follow every team and sports league when you are worth millions and don't have a 9 to 5!  It's like every day is the weekend! 

If I had $ like him, I'd probably subscribe to every League Pass/Ticket pacakge available and DVR every single game.  I'd also have a wall of flatscreens in the "Entertainment Room" of my mansion to watch every game at the same time, just because I could and invite all of my friends over to piss them off.  Then I would rewatch every game later in the week while I sat on my couch drinking O.E. and counting my stacks while a naked chick cooks my dinner in the kitchen.  I'd probably join every fantasy league I could find and run the table on those mofos...

Once you get past the terribly awkward and almost unreadable grammar (couldn't the ESPN editors cleaned that up a bit?), it's actually not a bad read.  He seems to know his stuff and follows pretty much every major sport including hockey!  Do they still have a league?  I seriously couldn't tell you one thing about the NHL if my life depended on it.

He has a few Boston connections as well.  I figured he would be all about the New Orleans teams but he references the Red Sox and Bruins as two of his favorites.  He didn't speak so kindly of the Patriots, however:

"The Patriots aren't going to be fine. I expected this to happen even before Brady got injured. I've been skeptical for a while now. They lost their drive. They used to go out there and crush people, playing good football every Sunday. You could see when they were winning how great they were playing, how hard they trained and how disciplined they were. But then it became about 'who is this person dating' and whatever, and that's when I thought this would happen. I'm not going to say they're distracted because they're professionals. But when it becomes about all that other stuff it does take away from just going out and playing good football."

I will definitely be checking this out on the regular.

DJ/VJ cb shaw's Hip Hop/House/Pop Video Mashup - This Is Sick!

This mix right here is just ridiculous. The mashups alone are dope but the corresponding video takes it to that next level. Check out cb shaw's website for more information or to download the MP3 of the video.

Here's a list of the videos/songs used in the mashup:

Napoleon Dynamite
DQwon's dance grooves
Eminem Without Me
Sweet Dreams The Eurythmics
Call on Me Eric Prydz
50 Cent In Da Club
Benny Bennasi Satisfaction
Sir Mix A Lot Baby Got Back (I Like Big Butts)
I'm Rick James Bitch Dave Chappelle

I put together my own video mix awhile back but it doesn't compare to this dude, unfortunately. I still thought it came out pretty decent though. It's a combination of The Firm's "Firm Fiasco", the Luniz "I Got Five On It" and Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Player's Anthem".  This is from my Old School Hip Hop Vol. 1 mix that you can listen to in the player to the right or download at: www.truemixtapes.podomatic.com
