“Make The Money, Don’t Let It Make You…”

“Make The Money, Don’t Let It Make You…”
Chances are Atlanta and Magic City top most lists when the subject of America’s best duos is mentioned. Like it or not, it’s a symbol permanently tattooed on the city. Sort of like Green Bay and cheese, but not really. Unfortunately, I have yet to cross #65 on my bucket list by going to...

Yes, Brooklyn’s In The House

Yes, Brooklyn’s In The House
On account of the engulfing amount of actually-naked women available upon a click of my mouse, I can’t say I’m too caught up by the new SI Swimsuit Edition cover. Still, for the sake of disparagingly having to tag posts NSFW, I figured I’d share this with the hopes that those of us...

“Prison In February…”

“Prison In February…”
“For as long as you live, pray to God you never know the feeling of having to kiss your mama goodbye in a court room while police take you away to prison. It hurts worse than any pain you can ever imagine.” With pain in his eyes and anger in his voice, one my best friends told me the words...

Sonic 4: Episode 1 Announced, Sega Stans Lose It

Sonic 4: Episode 1 Announced, Sega Stans Lose It
I was a Super Nintendo kid growing up. But even the biggest Nintendo nerds couldn’t fake on Sonic. Mario games had more content, secrets and are arguably better in terms of replay value. But Sonic 1-3 were dope for their break neck speed, new moves and edgy flavor that truly showed they were...

Simon Cowell’s Haiti Tribute Song Is Better Than Yours

Simon Cowell’s Haiti Tribute Song Is Better Than Yours
You know why people hate Simon Cowell? No, not because he talks like a pretentious Mr. Belvedere, but because he does shit like this. The “American Idol” judge and music exec recently coordinated an all-star single to benefit Haitian earthquake victims. Now he’s ready to take on his next challenge:...

Denny’s To Retake Title Of Bum Headquarters This Tuesday…

Denny’s To Retake Title Of Bum Headquarters This Tuesday…
If you weren’t stuck in a Stuper Bowl haze last year, you might remember Denny’s did the unthinkable and and ran advertisements for free Grand Slam breakfasts for one-day only, which – of course – were so successful the chain of family restaurants decided give the promo another...

Internet Porn: Stats, Figures & Skin

Internet Porn: Stats, Figures & Skin
Apparently, America is full of people who love porn on the internet. Now who would have believed that? Buuut, what we have here is a statistical representation displayed on the skin of a young lady. And if they used these in high schools and colleges, we would be a nation of scholars. Pervs, but scholars....

I Think Ur A Contra…

I Think Ur A Contra…
A couple of issues ago, Rolling Stone called Vampire Weekend’s latest album Contra a project that harkens back to the classic Paul Simon work Graceland. Since Graceland stands as one of those albums that defined my childhood, I had to give Contra a try. Maybe the review already planted a seed in my...

Talk About Bad Taste…

Talk About Bad Taste…
Wow. If you thought Late Night With Jimmy Fallon itself was bad, how about this unsettling lunch menu NBC offer(ed) ‘in honor of’ of Black History Month? Questlove obviously didn’t think too highly of it, as he TwitPic’ed the snapshot on @questlove, while pointing a big, black...

Who’s Gonna Box Bumpy Knuckles?

Who’s Gonna Box Bumpy Knuckles?
Mel D Cole’s pics from last night’s Statik Selektah album release party and Freddie Foxxx was in the house. Do you see the facial expressions of those cats in the background? Do you see the size of Freddie’s hands in the picture below? Is there a reason you try to go one-on-one with...

The Mel Gibson We All Know And Love Is Back

The Mel Gibson We All Know And Love Is Back
It’ a shame to see a legend fall. Mel Gibson, you were such an idol of mine for your creativity. Your ability to think on your feet and come up with something unexpected and magical is a quality that has never ceased to inspire me. But this is sad. Asshole? That’s the best you can do? Asshole? What...

As The Music Business Turns…

As The Music Business Turns…
It seems as if everyone is trying to change the music business these days. Tom from MySpace tried and failed miserably. Jigga’s foray into innovation with LiveNation is still dependent on whether he can make it work with another, less-Hovtastic artist. Radiohead’s pay-whatever-you-think-it’s-worth-gimmick...

Ahmad Rashad As The Birdman

Ahmad Rashad As The Birdman
This pic from Monday’s Nuggets game left me just as bewildered as you. But that is Ahmad Rashad and that costume of fake hair, tats and the jersey, it’s unmistakeably his attempt to present himself as “The Birdman.” [BDL]

Pee-Wee Herman Plays With His iPad

Pee-Wee Herman Plays With His iPad
Any guesses on what kind of porn Pee-Wee views on his iPad? $20 says it involves a playhouse gang, talking animals and lots of “secret” words. Despite the not-so-subtle jabs at Steve Jobs’ newborn baby, a blacklight up against that gray suit would undoubtedly prove to be the biggest...
