Yay For Entourage!!


In case you don't know me personally, I am in fact a male human being, I am also in college, the combination of those two things subsequently guarantees that I watch the HBO show Entourage. It is possibly the most enjoyable show of all time. When I say enjoyable I mean it is the most accessible and easiest show to get delved into. Watching Vince and the boys wear sweet sunglasses while walking around and eating lunch is just some awesome fucking television. Vince is the de facto main character, but he literally has done nothing but acquire a license this season, and yet the show is still able to retain it's chicness (my favorite word). Jeremy Piven pretty much steals every show as Ari Gold. E can be a little bitch at times especially when he picked this over this. Turtle is the best driver on television and Johnny Drama and Lloyd are funny as fuck. Throw that on top of some smoking hot girls in every episode and random guest appearances from world famous athletes and rappers (my favorite being this) and you have a television show that is sure to be eaten up by the cocky and aspiring to be wealthy bros across America. I would like to personally thank the show for balancing out my mental state after it has been severely depressed by Man on the Moon: The End of Day. I make it a rule to watch one episode for every listen of the album. That is not to imply that Man on the Moon is a album of little quality, much to the contrary. I am teetering on awarding it the hallowed GTOAT(The Departed) ranking, but for now were just gonna applaud Entourage for what it is: an enjoyable show that requires little emotional investment but rewards with the feeling that life is awesome as fuck if you become a movie star. Something we can all realistically aspire to become, oh wait... fuck.

Entourage- Sickest Thing Ever

Well This Will Certainly Quell The Situation


Obama Calling Kanye A Jackass- Whatever

New Mike Bro-sner

I saw Mike Posner perform on Friday night and holy fucking shit he killed it. Murder. Every song was unreal. He also debuted this wonderful musical nugget:

Wow. I've yet to be disappointed by anything that Mike has done, other than not try and collaborate with me. His next mixtape is going to drop some time next month, and his album is "half-done" and will come out some time in the first or second quarter of 2010 (his words, not mine). Apparently his album is "amazing." I hope so.
This remix is so fucking hype I can't even believe it.

OMG Kanye is such a DIIIIIIICK!!!!

Hey Kanye disrespected Taylor Swift. Cue the angry white kids and very tasteless and offensive racial slurs on Facebook/YouTube!!!!!
All of this could very easily have been avoided if stupid Taylor Swift simply hadn't handed the microphone to Kanye. What did she think was going to happen? Also, why was he even allowed on stage in the first place? Are people just allowed to run around all over the stage at this kind of event? Is there no security? Also, poor little victim Taylor Swift could have saved the moment by maybe saying something funny. Or sarcastic. Or mean. OR SAYING ANYTHING AT ALL. But rather than try and run with it--which is what most entertainers are trained to do--Taylor just stood there like a made-up deer in very bright headlights, as 0.3 percent of America looked on IN SHOCK!!!!!!
Some people "in the business" are saying that Kanye's move was a "career-killer," and many posts on message boards around the cyber net threaten a boycott of his music. Hmm. Everyone slow your roll for a minute. What Kanye did was stupid, rude, immature, etc. But is it really grounds for BOYCOTTING his music???? The entire night was dedicated to Michael Jackson, a CHILD MOLESTER--a man who (more than once) committed acts so evil and reprehensible that people who ARE convicted of the crimes (i.e., people whose net worth is below $1 billion) are essentially forced to wear a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives (introducing themselves to their new neighbors as a sex offender). But does anyone have a problem popping "Thriller" into their tape deck? Madonna spent the first ten minutes of the show awkwardly apologizing for Jackson's inability to keep his hands off of our children's cocks, claiming that he led a very hard life by virtue of his not having a childhood. Indeed, there may be a psychological explanation for MJ's antics (if you can call sucking off little kids "antics"), but does the fact that there IS an explanation excuse his behavior? We could say the same thing about Kanye: he's an insecure short man with a Napoleon complex who is still dealing with the unexpected death of his mother, and the only way he knows how to do this is by acting out for attention. Perhaps when he dies he will be forgiven (hopefully by Madonna!!!), but until then I guess his record sales are going to suffer because Taylor Swift couldn't think quickly enough on her feet.
By most accounts, Kanye West is a hip-hop legend. He is responsible for some of the best musical acts/moments of our generation: he resurrected Jay-Z's career by producing a bulk of "The Blueprint" and bringing soul back into hip-hop; he put on Kid Cudi, John Legend, and a re-invigorated Common, all of whom have made spectacular music and won several awards under Kanye's stewardship; his first two albums are generally accepted in the hip-hop canon as some of the best and most original rap music ever produced. The man is--like Michael Jackson--a tortured genius. But with people this talented, you tend to take the good with the bad. This is not the first time he's acted out, and it probably won't be the last. But hopefully people can see past his public displays of idiocy and keep supporting his music, because the music that he does make rarely disappoints.
Lost in the shuffle of all of this is the fact that Beyonce somehow lost in the category of "Best Female Video," but inexplicably WON "Video of the Year." So, does this vindicate Kanye? But more importantly, how is this even possible? So her video wasn't the best video by a female artist, but it WAS the best overall video? It literally makes no sense.

The War In Iraq Is Over!!!!

Are you guys seeing all these fireworks going off on NBC?!?!?! What could elicit such a jubilant celebration other than the end of a war... oh wait it's just football season. Giving middle aged men across America an excuse to drink shitty beer, eat shitty food, throw inanimate objects at their multi-thousand dollar HD-TV set, and even beat their wives (hey, Shawne Merriman does it).

Football- Sickest Thing Ever

Listen To These Songs Immediately

Kid Cudi's album leaked today and I have spent the day listening to it's greatness. I don't really wanna get into rating it just yet because severely overrating albums when I first listen to them is a weakness of mine, but after 2-3 listens it's safe to say the album is very good and deserves to be purchased. For all non-Cudi fans out there I implore you to at least give Man on the Moon a chance. I realize his actual rapping ability isn't anything special and his singing voice and cadence are tough to appreciate but if you can open up your mind and look past his emo-stoner label you'll find an artist with an unreal gift for melody and writing meaningful songs. Man on the Moon is NOT a hip hop album, don't go into it expecting to hear lyrically dense verses but rather a story of the culmination of Cudi's dreams being realized. I choose not to rate the album at this time but rather just request that you listen to the songs below. These songs show Cudi at his most vulnerable and triumphant, they are personal and musical achievements that deserve to be appreciated.

Shawne Merriman Strikes Again

Shawne Merriman is one of my least favorite football players of all-time, a 'roided-out douche bag, and a loser. Well it looks like we can add domestic abuser to that list, since Merriman was arrested for beating his girlfriend, Tila Tequila. What surprises me most about this story isn't that Merriman beats women--he's an asshole--but that he's dating Tila Tequila. It's perfect. While Tom Brady goes around winning Super Bowls, knocking up gorgeous, classy-looking ladies, and marrying the most beautiful woman in the world, Merriman spends his leisure time choking coked-out Asian bisexuals. Chalk up another "victory" for the Chargers.
Also, you can get endless enjoyment out of this clip:

Biff is Back!!!

Check me out sen! I took the summer off from blogging because I had to find myself in this crazy world. Well now that school has started I have way more free time (i.e., class), so let me get back to fulfilling our readers' wildest fantasies.
This is the newest Drake joint. I don't think it requires any explanation or analysis. Drake and Kid Cudi are at the tippy tippy top of their respective games right now, and they keep exceeding expectations and blowing everyone else out of the water.
