This video is so powerful, so life changing, so inspirational. One of the greatest ML Hollers @ subjects goes to a Chicago Bulls game (sidebar: tonight’s Bulls/Celtics game was EPIC, and that’s coming from someone that kinda has hated both teams at various points). Highlights include getting Daps from Jeff Van Gundy, taunting Marbury, talking to Lindsay Hunter (it’s not like he has to prepare for any game action, he’s the team minister, right?), asking Floor Seat waiter- Chi City “How do you pronounce your name? Waiter: “John.”.
Oh and in case you were wondering why this had a little delay in getting posted to the internets, Chi-City has a pretty legit reason:
“FINALLY!!!!!!!!….NEW VIDEO JUST POSTED…its like 1:15am..lol my badd. Internet porn is DISTRACTING…LOL”
I don’t know how many of you caught Ovechkin’s goal last night, but it was a thing of beauty. Dekes two defenders, loses control for a second, kicks the puck back to his stick and shoots it right past the goalie. This kid is the truth. Let’s go Caps!!!!
And here’s his previous top 10 for Ovechkin/hockey/sports fans. Might have to make room around two or three for last night’s goal, but I’m pretty sure number one will be cemented for a long time. Just absurd.
We like our Tyson-relatedcontentaround these parts as if you couldn’t tell. Watch me go see the movie just for the Tyson cameo, is that kind of disturbing?
This got a lot of buzz in the Capitals fanbase/media when the Sports Bog posted it, for its sheer extremeness. With our recent Ovechkin video binge, I spotted at With Leather, and thought it was appropriate to post. Enjoy.
I remember seeing this during the summer of 2006, but never thought to post it. But with our recent Wale X Ovechkin adventure, it’s pretty damn appropriate. Tell me this video isn’t classic, I dare you.
As a bonus, after the jump check out the Eastern Motors commercial starring Oveckhin that has the internets going nuts *no paul wall*.
Our guy Wale is stuck in a cold & snowy Maine before his show tonight.. so what does he do? He leaks a track that’s a tribute to the hard working girls of the strip clubs.
Sidebar: Congrats to the man joining Wale in the picture above, Mike Green on scoring his 30th goal on Wednesday. Yes Wednesday.. we get our news via a telegram delivery service.
As promised, here is the recap of the epic night where the rap and hockey worlds collided.
If you’ve followed along or read the replay of the CoveritLive live blog (which was oh so finely moderated by KnobbzXL), I’ll try my best to avoid overlap. Also be sure to check DC Sports Bog’s take on the evening, written much more eloquently.
When I arrived to the Verizon Center press entrance, I stood outside waiting for Wale and his friend Jay Promo to arrive. The start of the game came and went. Soon I was surrounded by the Verizon Center concession workers who were on their smoke breaks. When I wasn’t disappointing the employees by my lack of matches or a lighter, I was wondering if I was being punk’d. Soon enough, Wale & Jay came walking across the street, and we walked into the arena. As we were walking through the concourse, we heard the crowd making noise as a scrum broke out during the game. Not wanting to miss a moment more, surely one of the most diverse trios to ever grace the Verizon Center proceeded to sprint like Usain Bolt through the concourse.
When we arrived at our seats, it was safe to claim that we were “outchea”. Right off the bat, Wale & Jay were impressed by the amount of people in the crowd and the energy as they started to snap photos on their respective phones. Wale was such a fan of the action on the ice that he wished the 20 minute intermission would be shorter so the game would return quicker. I suggested he protest to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman (or at the very least mention it in a song).
Nearing the end of the game, Jay predicted that Carolina was going to get back into it and the Capitals were in danger of having to go for the “swindle”. Thankfully, although Carolina tied up the game and took it to shootout (not before a 2 minute penalty for the Caps in overtime which we all agreed seemed to be the 2 longest minutes of our lives), the Caps were able to prevail. Come overtime & shootout, all three of us were standing, yelling, and giving daps to one another as Ovechkin scored to win the shootout. Afterward, Wale asked if he was the only one whose heart was racing. I’m willing to bet he was one of thousands in the building with the short-term ailment.
We’ve been following this documentary for like forever, from the press to the random clips. Finally, here is the official trailer. Limited Release April 24th. Hopefully that includes a DC theater.
