Day 100: Switch it up w/ Nicki Minaj - Moment for Life ft. Drake (Music Video)
- Alt Audio Link (Nicki gets kinda bi-polar in the beginning, yikes!)
"I believe that life is a prize, but to live doesn't mean you're alive.." -Nicki Minaj
Yea.. I'll admit, I do listen to some Nicki Minaj and this is one of the songs I actually like from her recent album, Pink Friday. I think this song is real catchy, it's got such uplifting lyrics over a happy beat, and I like it more so because Drake is featured on the song (c'mon, they're the two best members of Young Money!).
Some guys don't give Nicki enough credit as a rapper nor even try to listen to her music, but I think she's an awesome talent, seems like a humble person (with a bizarre personality!), and she's doing a good job working hard at this & making a name for herself. Oh yea, she has some very nice curves and an enormous a$$ so she's got my vote ;)
To conclude: Big butts are IN these days!

Day 99: Wiz Khalifa - On My Level ft. Too $hort (Music Video)
- Alt Audio Link (song may not be suitable for everyone so stop-drop-&-roll if you can't handle the fire!)
"You know everything Taylor, don't rush to the bar fool if you ain't got no papers.. that's the rule." -Wiz
Wiz Khalifa has been in the game for a while but it seems like he is everywhere nowadays, more so now since "Black & Yellow" blew the fcuk up! Lately, he's been collaborating with so many top rap names in the industry and making a lot of good music for all types of listeners: the mainstream party-goers, the everyday blazers, & the street bangers. He is definitely rising up my book of favorite rappers of the new generation.
In case you haven't heard, Wiz's upcoming album he recently just announced called "Rolling Papers" is set to be released on March 29 (pencil that in your calendar peoples!). While the tracklist isn't out yet, I believe this song is going to be on there along with "Black & Yellow." You can read a bit more about his upcoming album here.
I just got to say one thing about this song: str8 fire x 10. ON REPEAT!
Props to my homie M-dot-Kotch for showing this to me first!

Day 98: A dope song by The Game & Wiz - Taylor Made (Audio)
The Game - Taylor Made featuring Wiz Khalifa
<<< 2/10: Sorry guys, I had to remove this. If you didn't get a chance to listen to it then I'm sure you can find it elsewhere =( >>>
-
This track is str8 fiiiiiiiire! My guess is while Wiz Khalifa was in Cali collaborating with Snoop & doin his thang around LA, he probably stopped by The Game's pad and crunched out this dope song before he left to Pittsburgh to perform at the AFC Championship game last weekend. Awesome job with this one.
I'm just happy to see The Game is finally back on the scene again with some new music, and hopefully he'll come out with his new album sometime soon called The R.E.D. Album. He said his album is "95% complete" but he still hasn't set a release date, so we'll just have to wait... :\

Day 97: Chillin Playlist for the week - The Game, Nas, Wiz, 1982, Show Tufli (Audio)
- Picture courtesy of http://wallsbox.blogspot.com/
Lately, my mind & body has been flat-out exhausted from a million things to do and I'm not getting much sleep these days either, which is why I just can't get into any loud/uptempo/party music right now.
On that note, I think it's a good time to take a step back from all that and mellow out to some super chill beats. Here are some recent songs in my current playlist that help put me in a calm mood and will keep me at ease through these busy weeks:
The Game - I'm The King
- Alt Audio Link
Wiz Khalifa - Star Of The Show
Nas - Who Are You [Tags]
- Alt Audio Link
1982 - Money Is Reality featuring Action Bronson
- Alt Audio Link
Show Tufli - Jap Scene
- Alt Audio Link
These songs start off more mainstream-ish and move underground as you get to the bottom songs. I hope everyone can find a song here they can "WOO-SAH" too.

Day 96: Tron-inspired Audi R8 by WestCoast Customs (Video)
- Picture courtesy of WestCoast Customs
Since the movie Tron: Legacy came out this past December 2010, there has been a lot of cool Tron merchandise that's come out from shoes & suits to even a street-legal Tron motorcycle. Out of all the cool Tron stuff that's come out, this car tops them all.
At CES 2011, WestCoast Customs unveiled their creation of a Tron-inspired Audi R8. As you can see from the picture, it's got a lot of cool glowing features on the entire car (inside & out) and a sleek chrome paint job. If this car could be street-legal & I was a rich douchebag then I'd try & find a way to buy this car and park it in my ballin-a$$ mansion next to my ballin-a$$ fountain. =P
Here's a short video of the car at CES 2011 just to make sure I'm not dreaming:
One day ima own this car.

Day 95: Brett Favre's Rise Commericial - "What should I do?" (Video)
This is a HILARIOUS parody of Lebron's Rise commercial, but this time it's Brett Favre's turn! Yea, it's not really Brett Favre but this d00d does a good job acting & talking like him.
"Wanna see my Danny Woodhead?!" Ohhhh maaaan, LOL x 100!! xD

Day 94: The LeBrons Animated Series - F'reals LeBron? You're kidding right?
So, I just read that LeBron James is coming out with his own web-based animated series called "The LeBrons" (very original Lebron!) scheduled to launch sometime this spring. I'm too lazy to explain what this is all about, so you can read more about it here.
Personally, I think he should have premiered this while he was a Cleveland Cavalier when everybody in the world was embracing him even though he hadn't won a championship yet. Since he chose the EZ route and left to the Miami Heat, a lot of haters have emerged and I can see a lot of people not giving a fcuk about this & clowning LeBron even more.
I do like LeBron James as an athlete and think he's an awesome NBA player, but I just think the timing of this is all wrong. It's too soon to try and convert LeBron-haters into fans again, but I guess kids don't know any better so this may actually be a smart move by LeBron (getting to the kids while they're young so they grow up to remember LeBron as a Miami Heat and not a quitter with the Cav's).
In case you still care, here's a quick video of LeBron promoting his new animated series:
LeBron, stick to the one thing you're great at homie.. basketball.

Day 93: Snoop & Wiz - That Good (Music Video)
- Saw the music video here first: AshleyOutrageous.com
One of my new favorite songs by Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa is now in music video format! If you haven't heard it already then check out the music video and get a glimpse of how much they both love to blaze.
Sidenote: This is actually the first single off the soundtrack to a movie both Snoop & Wiz are starring in called "High School" set to be released on 4-20-11 (a very fitting release date). This is also going to be one of those "straight-to-dvd" type movies, so it won't be a blockbuster but I'm sure it will be entertaining.
If the video is too laggy for you, I posted up the audio a while ago right here:

Day 92: Kobe taking "The Black Mamba" to Hollywood (Video)
It looks like Kobe Bryant aka "The Black Mamba" is taking his game & his nickname to the next level... HollywoOod!
Well, sorta-not really.. I just heard that Nike is collaborating with Kobe and creating some sort of short movie set to be released during the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, which is happening on Feb 18-21 in Los Angeles, CA. I guess this would seem fitting knowing that Kobe plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and is also leading in all-star votes as of today. What better way to represent for your city and do something "extraordinary" for your fans than make a movie, right?
I'm pretty sure this movie is all really to help promote Kobe's recent shoe that came out called the Zoom Kobe VI, but at least it should be more entertaining than D. Wade's "D3" commercials.
We'll have to wait until the 2011 NBA All-Star weekend to see how this movie turns out. If more development comes out in the meantime then I'll be sure to keep ya'll posted.

They have a few more videos that are pretty ridiculous. I don't want to overflood this post with too many videos but I'll share a link of my second favorite EPIC MEAL:

Day 90.5: DPG @ Key Club Videos - Roscoe & Kurupt (Events)
Here are some videos my homie was able to record with his flip cam:
- Roscoe performing Smooth Sailin.. Young Roscoe the Philly fanatic!
- Kurupt closing the last part of the show. The video is kind of shaky..
(The performance gets good after 4:00 into it; he eventually does Xxplosive & Callin Out Names!)
Props to my boy ShimpDizzle for recording this for me.
- Roscoe performing Smooth Sailin.. Young Roscoe the Philly fanatic!
- Kurupt closing the last part of the show. The video is kind of shaky..

Day 90: DPG bringing back the OG hits from the 90's @ Key Club (Events)
(I'm pretty behind with this one but I thought I'd share my thoughts on this event anyways, so suck it!)
1-07-11 (Hollywood, CA): I went to check out a DPG (Dogg Pound Gangstaz!) performance at the Key Club in Hollywood. If you listened to WestCoast hip-hop back during the 90's then you'll know who I'm talking about and appreciate all the dope jams they brought to us.
First off, the place was mad packed everywhere; even the stage was getting too crowded at one point so they had to stop the performance and make their entourage back up. It was hard enough for me to see since I got there late but my friends and I were able to guide our way through the crowd and get a good view of the show.
I didn't recognize most of them on stage, but was able to point out Kurupt (aka Young Gotti), Daz, Roscoe, and DJ Quik (he was actually mixin on the 2nd level balcony). Jayo Felony was there too and I think because he's looking to sign under the same label as DPG.
I basically caught the end of the show but it was still pretty awesome just being there and supporting some of the rawest OG WestCoast rappers ever. My favorite part of the show was when Kurupt did his verse from the song New York New York, and suprised everyone at the end with Xxplosive & Callin Out Names. I gotta say Kurupt is so dam lyrical and puts mad energy in his performances, so major props to him for putting it all out there every night.
I also did like Daz when he performed In California (such a dope song!). And I can't forget Roscoe with his performance of one of my other favorites Smooth Sailin (the summertime jam).
Check out some pictures I took of the event:
- See, it was crazy packed on stage..
- Kurupt doin his thang!
- Daz & Kurupt!
- Throw your W's up if you love the West!
The WestCoast is the BestCoast.. Holla!
Props to my homie J.Li.

Day 89: Jim Carrey on SNL - Hilarious Black Swan Skit! (Video)
- Source: http://www.nbc.com/
I just caught this super funny Saturday Night Live skit featuring Jim Carrey in a Black Swan parody. If you've already seen Black Swan then you'll laugh your pants off when you watch this.
First off, I just want to say that Jim Carrey is my all-time favorite comedian/actor, PERIOD. I grew up watching him ever since his In Living Color days, which basically put him & other the comedians in the show on the map (even a dancer too: J-LO aka "Hey Ho!"). That show was so freakin hilarious btw; they should definitely make a reunion show sometime!
Now onto the topic of Black Swan.. when I first saw the trailer, I was totally uninterested and shut this movie out of my head. Then I started hearing about how this movie was nominated for several awards, so that got me curious to see what this movie was all about...
So, I just saw this movie last week and I got to say this movie earns my two thumbs up! It was just so crazy, twisted, and suspenseful throughout the entire movie that it kept my mind thinking & my eyes glued onto the screen. If you haven't seen this movie then you gotta go check it out (even if you're the manliest d00d, you'll like it too).
Ok, I'm not going to lie... I heard there was a lesbian scene too with Natalie Portman & Mila Kunis, so that also influenced me to go see it.. What can I say, I'm a guy =P

Day 88.5: Light one up to some new Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa (Audio)
Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg have one main thing in common: they love to smoke all day, every day. On that note, here's a super chill song they both made while doing what they love. I'm going to call this the new "smoke sess" anthem, so before you spark one play this song ;)

Day 88: Snoop Dogg @ HoB on New Years Day (Events)
1/01/11 (Hollywood, CA): Although I was soo hungover all day from partying the night before, I went to go check out this Snoop Dogg show on New Years Day at the House of Blues. It was tough gathering up all that energy to go, but you know what.. it was totally worth it!!
I was pretty much in zombie-mode before the show but once the music came on & Snoop Dogg jumped on stage, I came back to life! He definitely gave an awesome performance as he rapped a lot of old jams mixed with some of his recent hits. As you know, Snoop loves to blaze so it was only fitting for him to light up a blunt at the start of the show while he was rapping his verse to the new Dr. Dre song "Kush" (this is when the air started gettin real fresh). He also had Daz & Kurupt up on stage with him and did a couple of my favorite DPG hits (Kurupt was off da chain!). At one point during the show, Snoop did a segment for 2Pac which I thought was really cool of him as he's still keeping his memories alive even to this day.. R.I.P. 2Pac.
Here are some pictures & a video I took @ the event:
- Daz, Snoop, & Kurupt (Sorry Daz, but you got fat!)
- Doing a song for the ladies..
- Time to C-walk!
**Warning: The sound is mad distorted because my camera sucks, so mute it and check out Snoop Dizzle puff on a blunt while he's doin his thang. Hold up, wait a minute.. lemme put some kush up in it!
I gotta give Snoop mad credit though for holding it down strong for the WestCoast and still keeping his name active after being in the rap game since the early 90's. FYI, I heard he's supposed to come out with a new album soon called Doggumentary so I'll be keeping tabs on that.
Thanks to my homie J.Li for this one. Peace.
