Obviously, André Three Stacks ain’t hurting for money. After all, he’s got a Diamond album, for Christ’s sake. Still, we’re kind of confused as to why the anti-social Outkast member has decided to take a role in this new Gillette commercial. Read the rest of this entry »

For whatever reason, I’ve always loved Ferris Bueller and never really cared for Matthew Broderick. Maybe it was that the seemingly-tight-knit actor could never live up to his character’s cool. Or, maybe that he really hasn’t been in many good movies since. Read the rest of this entry »

Super Duper Chocolate Drop b.k.a. Kevin Hart continues his commercial dominance going into 2012 with his latest spot for Xbox 360′s Wireless Speed Wheel. Laughter is the best medicine and there’s nothing a doctor of funnies can’t promote, and that definitely goes for video games. Read the rest of this entry »

The kid with the green backpack is making damn sure you remember his 2011 as more and more releases keep popping in. The Kansas chief has been balling with a budget as of late—literally as the video for NBA 2K12′s “Awesome” just hit the scene. It’s good to know that somebody out there has the league’s best interest in mind. Read the rest of this entry »

Kendrick ain’t the only kid from Compton TSS has love for. If you refer to the 12 NBA Young Guns To Watch (If There’s A Season) post, you’ll notice a fundamentally sound yet capable of the flash, sharp-witted point guard by the name of Brandon Jennings holding court in Milwaukee.

Atlanta is rallying so hard for their Falcons right now, anything short of a Super Bowl win will result in utter disappointment. First it was an assorted gaggle going hard in the end zone for ATL’s Dirty Birds, and now, Young Bobby Ray is using his musicianship for the ultimate fight song. Read the rest of this entry »

Whenever anything Em drops, the reiteration by the media is so thick, I just assume you’ve already seen Slim’s commercial for The 53rd Grammys. If you haven’t, I’ll save you the trouble. For thirty brow-lowering seconds, viewers are driven through a beta version of Marshall Mathers’ virtual reality existence, which is reminiscent of a phased out clunker from Universal Studios.

Well, it looks like choosing Jay-Z over Diddy is doing more for Jay Electronica than just forcing him to put out more than one record per year. He’s now secured himself a Mountain Dew endorsement that serves as the icing on the cake.

I’m asking for a pass because there will be a surplus of NBA posts this week

The NBA season kicks off in a matter of hours and depending whether the Cowboys can limit themselves to under 35 penalties tonight, I may be 100% invested in hoops come this time tomorrow. Not to be lost in their well-deserved Kevin Durant hoopla this summer, Nike hasn’t forgotten Read the rest of this entry »

Warm weather, good food and Dexter McCluster. Read the rest of this entry »

Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green? How much Hip-Hop can one fit in a Honda Jazz? Thanks to the good folks at Honda and international rap superstar (everywhere but here, I’m sure) Bangs, we know exactly how much. Read the rest of this entry »

In the Book of Trill, chapter 1:16, it clearly states that thou shall tell the truth and nothing but the truth while the congregation sangs. Bun B abides by this oath and he gives you the Trill O.G. preamble to increasingly whet your appetite for more of the realness. Team Trill strikes again. Read the rest of this entry »
