I haven’t posted some DC related shit in a while, so here goes- I’m gonna get everyone on the team a copy of this. This probably needs a pause.

This is the inside of Jean Grae’s “Love Thirst” single and despite intense analysis on my part, it makes no sense. If you can figure it out, I’ll tell you want KNOBBZ actually stands for.

And just so this isn’t a complete waste of a post, here’s “Love Thirst” and the remix with Busta Rhymes (via 2dopeboyz). Off Jeanius.

Some striking similarities between game characters and rappers. Charles Hamilton is going to be pissed they didn’t put him with Sonic (you’re going to be pissed when you see who they did put).

I should really go to OKP more often than I do, and this REALLY reminded me so. ?uestlove had a thread where he told stories and anecdotes on various famous people as requested by OKPers. Let’s just say the results are classic, I spent a good hour reading through it, when I should be packing.. but so worth it.

I’m going to quote one story as a sample, about D’Angelo to get a sense of the amazing insider/personal stuff ?uest shares..

Some of my highlights were Allen Iverson, Charlie Murphy, George Clinton, Memphis Bleek, Kanye, Beanie, Nas, Just Blaze, Madonna, Benicio Del Toro, Will Smith, Bjork, Eminem, ODB, Chris Rock, 2pac.

Read the whole thread at OKP. 2/11 Edit: the stories now live in a much better format, here.

This is probably the first and only mention Palin gets on ML, she doesn’t even need to be there really. Amy Pohler made the whole skit with her Cypress Hill imitation. Moose are shook regardless.

This is like the urban equivalent of Knight Rider’s KITT.

That Vocoder should get hefty royalty checks.

You already know T-Pain had a sense of humor, I mean dude did ride an elephant at the VMAs.

You may remember my little rant about Spine Magazine a little bit back, well Zaid hit me up personally last week or so to let me know that they got rid of the flash setup, so props to the spine crew for going back to the drawing board so quick, the non-flash design is a huge improvement.

On the other hand XXL.com recently relaunched last week but to me it just seems to me like its just a rehash of what SOHH.com was before it got whacked into becoming a typepad blog, similar slideshow element, tabs, boxes with content.. evolutionary? maybe. revolutionary? No.

Damn, still hating.

I’ve seen this commercial countless times but never noticed the VERY last second until ML friend PD pointed it out. That little smile is proof of how “tough” the cowboys are. Dude should just quit and go do Dancing With The Stars. And yeah I know Brain Dawkins is in this too, but he’s more like a stage prop.
Leave your death threats in the comments.

Michael Mooney, a writer at the Broward-Palm Beach Times, wanted to find out what it was like to just take a prostitute on a date without doing anything physical. Read his interesting experience here.

While catching up on my ish, I noticed that Yung Joc is currently on a tour sponsored by Crocs.. really now?? Nothing says Hip-Hop elite like a tour sponsored by Crocs. Makes a Lugz sponsorship seems real nice.

On that Wall Street Journal tip, I just hope Mr. Joc gets his Crocs checks cause uhh it’s not looking too good for that company.

Damn, we’re haters around here.
