Apparently there was some white kids in Utah that got in deep trouble for rapping at McDonalds drive-thru (late pass please?). The Colbert Report chronicles their dramatic/violent/epic story, with Fabolous making a cameo as an expert on all this gangsta rap stuff. Note to self: bring a vest if I ever visit a fast food spot in Utah.

“Do Not **** With The Drive-Thru”

Watch it here. (The 2nd segment)

As you can guess as soon as you saw the title, I can’t get enough of this stuff. ABC News was able to dig up Merton for an interview. If you are too lazy to watch the two key facts you need to know is the next video is coming out in a few days, and video #1 is the highest rated youtube of all time. Now, stop being lazy and get edumacated about this meme.

To continue our recent spree of hip-hop related commercials (every time we post one of these, someone sends us a suitcase full of cash), here’s Black Milk’s surprising placement in a state-sponsored ad for Michigan products. At 0:22, he says “Fresh Milk!”

The ad does a much better job of promoting Michigan as a travel destination than say, Hex Murda.

Another year, another BET Hip Hop Awards.  I’m not sure who the genius  behind the idea of the Cypher portion of the show is, but that mofo has had me watching BET (albeit once a year) for the last 3 years. But enough about me, let’s break down the performances:

Nicki Minaj kicked things off with a pretty hot verse. Honestly, it seems almost sacrilegious to have someone like Minaj spit bars with Preemo spinning in the background, but she actually came ahead with one of the hottest verses in this portion. Buckshot’s verse was kinda low-par compared to his usual shit, and definitely didn’t seem noteworthy (even after 3 viewings!). Maybe I missed what he was going for. Who knows? The cypher contest winner, Crown Royyal, came pretty hard on his part and I really liked his verse, despite my hatred of the word swag. But the best verse of this portion, and one of the best of the night definitely goes to Joe Budden. Joe’s verse was ridiculous! That line about Serena Williams?! I practically fell out of my damn chair.

Wow, I guess these days it takes Slim Thug for me to check out The Daily Show for the fist time in eons. I actually watched this last night, if you didn’t, check it out below. So MANY quotables. This recession is hitting Thugga hard.

Saturday Night Live (more like Andy Samberg) continues to bring the heat with more funny raps in it’s only consistently redeemable bit, the Digital Shorts.

Late pass please, but I didn’t really bother checking this out until I heard Ratatat was there along with Kid Cudi. Check out Evan Mast’s guitar solo which is crazy. Definitely one of my favorite tracks off Man On The Moon (In stores now). It’s crazy that rappers slept on working with Ratatat esp. when they’ve put out so much heat in the past years.

They talk about crushing on Pam Grier and Snoop’s entry into acting. She also forces Tony to drink a nasty looking drink called an Obama. Snoop has an AMAZING laugh.

After a 2 year hiatus it time to brush off The Rapper Infirmary category (we aren’t really comprehensive around these parts)! Talk about bad luck, Drake has to be the first rapper to suffer a serious injury only to re-injure himself months later (we wonder if he jinxed himself saying he wasn’t going to let the injury stop him only days before the tour started?). Hopefully dude bounces back soon. It would be truly gully if he continues the tour in a Wheelchair after he gets the knee surgery, it’s not like it would be foreign to him.
