I dunno if MTV has staged this along with Sasha Baren Cohen aka BORAT but from what it looks like, Ol Eminem did Not get the Memo. Word is he didn;t even come back for his scheduled perfomance
Zealous edit: Of course this was staged!.. and he did his scheduled performance before this shit happened.
Edit: It seems that the first video i posted for Paranoid was a leak.. that Kanye wasn't happy about (but who the fuck cares really??) I also just realized that the leaked version I had posted has been removed by the vimeo user.
Not sure how I feel about this... its hot. but she's not (and something looks real weird with her left breast)
“I don’t feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers,” she tells RS‘ Brian Hiatt in our new feature, on newsstands today. “I think I’m changing what people think is sexy.” Gaga is also changing what it means to be a 21st century pop star, and she’s doing it through 24 hours a day of fierce work — she’s a walking Gaga art project known as much for her outrageous fashion sense as her Eighties-flavored dance hits. “The truth is, the psychotic woman that I truly am comes out when I’m not working,” she says (during Hiatt’s time with the star, she rocks a massive radio concert, takes advice from Cyndi Lauper at a photo shoot and suffers a brief breakdown at a Walmart.com taping). “When I’m not working, I go crazy.”
Been a minute since i posted on the ol blog, figured i would kick back into things with a lil New Jack Swing. For those of you attending my future wedding, pay close attention.
I wish I earned $100 every time I'd hear Kedar say "Fuck Puffy, he ain't the only nigga making money in this game!!!" It was almost comical how he would go all "Eff Puff" whenever someone mentioned Sean Combs' name in his presence, almost like he was subconsciously waiting for it.
Charles Hamilton starts battling this chick (which is already funny enough)... Then she gets vexed and literaly punches him square on the jaw @ 2:30! LOL
This is fucking cool... Coldplay have just put out a live album for FREE on their website. Here is the direct link if you don't wanna fuck around. (you can put in a fake email if you want).. After google image searching Coldplay I realized that they probably have the coolest pictures compared to every other band i've ever looked for.
Sooo download this and enjoy it!! (and they didn't mix out the audience this time..so it actually feels like a live concert!)
Here is a sample I found on youtube. Coldplay - Clocks
I wish young ‘uns could come see the Allmans. Because they’d understand it’s about being a musician. Stardom is fleeting at best. Sure, a few lucky ones can whore themselves out as special guests on sitcoms and maybe replace the star in a Broadway show, but that’s about eking out a living, that’s got nothing to do with music.
Music is something you feel in your heart. You practice when no one is paying attention. You roll in a van, taking your life in your hands, not only from the road, but your bandmates, who are about to ignite from so much close contact and so little remuneration. But if you’re good, and lucky, you break through.
That’s what a musician does…play! Then there’s the travel, the drinking and drugging, the women and the camaraderie, the jokes, the cards, the laughter. Rock and roll is the circus without the seamy carney underside. Which is why everybody wanted to run away and join way back when. You wanted to be closer…to this lifestyle, to the music!
But to a great extent, that’s gone. The "artists" want fame. The promoter is playing to Wall Street, the fan is a pawn in the game. The music is just an excuse to charge customers up the yin-yang. So when you see the pure unadulterated essence, it leaves a mark.
The Allman Bothers - Whipping Post
I can guarantee you will not understand how good this song is..
So according to This site, everyones favorite west indian gyal has officially gotten over the very played out Chris " Smack my bitch up " Brown for a new man of Canadian origin. If this is any kind of true...I am very shocked ( with a smiggen of hate).
Tricycle Biker (I see dude everytime I'm wandering around.. where is he going??)
Leonard Cohen .. for winning everything
The good people at the Mirror for running this shit.

Wanna know some weird shit? Forest Whitaker and 50 Cent are starring in a contemporary adaptation of "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde"....well at least according to Variety.
Most bugged out part is that someone decided 50's muscles are scarier than Forest's fucking crazy eyes.
Why do I think if this happened in Montreal, there would be a bunch of homeless guys following her masturbating.
Anyhow.. this video is damn near amazing and will probably make this new group huge. . . i liked the Tellier reference.
I don't now who did it first.. but here is a video with the same concept that I found in the comments of the other video. The Brooklyn duo is called Matt and Kim and the video gets pretty hilarious in the last thirty seconds. It must be very freeing being naked in Times Square with a bunch of people instantly taking pictures of you and shit.
Propers to Fubiz which I'm discovering to be a pretty cool website
The Dick in a box duo make a come back with this song " Mother Lover" ...The name says it all
I can't decide whats funnier..The insane amounts of beeping thats going on OR the fact that these guys are actually performing this shit live. SNL skits have sure come a long ass way.
Yesterday i sensed that something good was gonna happen...Until my girlfriend of four years dumped me and on top of that she didn't realize it was our anniversary...FML
Today, my boyfriend who has been overseas the last four months broke up with me. I sent him a care package two days ago. He'll get homemade cookies (his mom's recipe), naughty videos of me and a letter telling him how much I love him in about a week. FML
Today, I heard my sister masturbating in her room. I took the dog around the block to get out of the house, and I came back to see her leaving her room... my electric toothbrush in her hand. FML
Today, my husband dropped me off at work, ten minutes later I got a text saying" I just dropped the b*tch off I'll be there in a few baby, miss you". I asked him about it he said he "I dont know what youre talking about Megan". My name isnt Megan, not even close. FML
Today, an old girlfriend from years ago wanted to have lunch. Seeing as I had nothing to do, I went with her. She introduced me to her son. Apparently I am the father. My son is 6. FML
Today, I got accepted to Yale University. My parents response: "We never expected you to get into college. We spent all of our savings on sending your brother to school." FML
An amusing article by none other than Bob Lefsetz. check it here
"This won’t be the situation forever. With the lack of revenue in the music world, the posers are going to move on and the real musicians are going to take over. There just isn’t enough of a reward if you’re not real, you’ve got to love to play! And these unfettered players will concoct genuine songs that will elate us when we hear them. The big bosses won’t be controlling them, because the big bosses will be gone.
It can only get better.
But to blame today’s sorry state on the customer is a grave mistake. Sales suck because the customer thinks new music has got the nutritional value of a Twinkie, it’s like minor league baseball, entertaining, but not the real thing.
The real thing is the Beatles and all those ancient bands still treading the boards in sold out arenas. Most of whom can no longer write a decent tune, they’re so concerned with managing their money. But what inspired these people can inspire a whole new generation. It’s about the sound! Music is something you hear, not something you sell! Got that?"
lol @ this guy not being able to let go of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. He compares EVERY act out today to these two bands.. oh and Don Henley for some reason. I guess its fair to try and compare new bands to the old greats.. but i mean.. Led Zeppelin fucking started FM radio! thats as if 50 cent invented mp3s .. craziness
Here is a full uncut interview of Bob Lefsetz on The Hour with my man George S. (sorry for the no embedding... i guess cbc gotta keep there hits up!)
For those of you who dont know who he is, This clown makes his living acting on faux reality show "The Hills" as one of the most hated characters. Now dude wants to start a " rap " career and immediately attacks Asher Roth & compares himself to Hova ( Really!!!??). You can catch the full interview Here
idk... i haven't really listened to too much music yet.. but when reading the interview I felt like he's a little to "ordinary". Nothing makes him stand out to me... There's no story, no hype, no buzz, no nothing... He's a dude who moved to NY from NC, went to college in NY.. rapped and made beats... and then landed a crazy 360 deal with rocnation out of NOWHERE. There has got to be a big piece that im missing. You don't just get random texts to go have meetings with Jay-Z by working a little job and recording in your shitty apartment..(i assume shitty because he lived in NY and made 10$/hour) or maybe you do?
Freddie co-signed his music a while back... so maybe he is good enough to get calls to go meet Hov.. he's got a mixtape coming out called "The Warm Up".. I will definitely be stealing it
smh @ The Dream wearing the Kanye glasses. Actually what the fuck is up with people wearing those still. Even in the beginning.. its kinda like.. dude Kanye did it. leave it alone
However, I do have to agree with some of the commentors on the blog and say that of late Combat Jack's posts have been pretty lackluster. He came in with all these stories and insider knowledge of the legends... and now hes posting about Asher Roth and The Cool Kids.
and where are the 2000 words posts dude??? Thats what was making you!!!
What Is going well on this blog however is the The Chronicles of a True Hustler. This is so far a 4 part series that is a really interesting read and I don't find it falls too hard on the "hustler" cliches. It's written by a hustler (lol...kinda obvious) named T, which I guess is a friend of Combat Jack's.
When i first saw this video six years ago i thought it was on some funny shit...Now i just feel bad for the guy. Here is a behind the scenes look at this video where Fatlip explains exacly how much crack he was smoking when he made this video
I always knew there was a better place then the fucking closet...
Mr. Burton prefers sandglasses to clocks: “There’s more clarity — time is going by and you got to get moving. When I get stuck I give myself a time limit; otherwise, I’ll want to quit and leave.”
I was just telling my homegirl that Nas and Kelis would get divorced soon enough... cause thats the kinda shit we talk about, and BAM! according to an Allhiphop news alert here they are... Supposedly Nas's lawyer had the papers drawn up the other day citing Kelis as just being too damn bossy.
Oh and Kelis is seven months pregnant according to somebody, somewhere.
fuck, vimeo has really taken the internet video player to the next level, the quality is soo good and i'm not even using the HD option ... step your game up youtube
This will be my first and last hockey post ever.... however you gotta respect the Montreal Canadiens gully. ...article
Such a shame this had to all happen during what's otherwise been a law-abiding, morally commendable and spectacularly successful centennial year for the Canadiens ...
