Day 186: Making of "Watch The Throne" ft. Jay-Z x Kanye West (Documentary)

I just got super inspired after watching this short documentary of Jay-Z & Kanye West in the making of their new duo album called Watch The Throne. I wish I could just get into their heads to get a glimpse of their creativity when they make music. With them teaming up together again, I'm having high hopes for this new album they are coming out with. #HipHopAtItsFinest

Watch The Throne set to be released Aug 2; mark your calendars.

Day 180: I breathe & live basketball - D.Will's hesitation move + Bow Wow gets punked by Kobe (Videos)

Deron Williams is one of my top 3 favorite point-guards in the NBA right now, and it's going to be real sad if he plays overseas in Turkey because of this stupid NBA lockout.

I believe in 2012 that the world will really be coming to the "end of days" if the NBA gets locked out next season as well as the NFL. Idiot owners and their greed for more money.. If we had no sports this Fall then I think everybody would go stupid craaaaazy #badnews

On a funnier note, check out this video of Bow Wow getting owned by Kobe:



"Come here little fella... shut up!" - Kobe Bryant

Kobe is just playing casually while Bow Wow is down $1K. Smh @ Bow Wow for even thinking he had a chance. No, you didn't just lose Bow Wow, you got spanked, taken to school, and spanked again after school #blackmambastyle

Day 179: Kenny Powers is the MFCEO! - Hilarious K-Swiss Promo (Video)

Konichiwa b*tches! hahaha! Kenny Powers is my f*kin idol!! =P

A lot of my friend's have been posting this all around facebook so I just had to share this on my blog for ya'll. This is a hilarious 5-minute promo for K-Swiss featuring Kenny Powers as the MFCEO and cameos with a whole bunch of athletes.

If you haven't seen Eastbound & Down on HBO yet then I suggest you go watch it if you got a kick out of this commercial. That show is freakin mad funny!

Day 169: Pete Rock breaking down beats on the MPC (Video)

I'm just starting to grow an interest in beat-making and I found this video quite interesting. It's an old clip of the legendary Pete Rock giving us a glimpse of how he makes beats on an MPC. #inspired

I really want to learn how to make beats as a side hobby b/c I enjoy music (hip-hop) so much, but I understand it's way more complicated than it is. For starters, I just got this beat-making program called Reason 4 so ima mess around with that for now ;)

Maybe one day I'll get to a level where I can get my own MPC. Until then, I gotta put in the work to learn this craft...

Day 162: Michael Jordan vs Lebron James - The Endless Debate (Cool Video)

This recent video just surfaced compiling some cool clips & audio commentary from NBA analysts (+ Scottie Pippen's comment) talking about Michael Jordan vs Lebron James.

Who is better? MJ or LBJ? You would think this is obvious but I've heard some rather interesting comments for both sides.

In my eyes, MJ is by far the greatest NBA player of all time without a doubt. I'm not gonna go into the obvious & compare stats, but I gotta say MJ was definitely a great leader when he played the game and during the end of close games you know if he had the ball that he was gonna make the last shot #soclutch

On the other hand, Lebron did enter the NBA right out of high school and became a dominant all-star right away (Rookie of the Year, 7x All-Star, 2x MVP), so he deserves major credit for that. I can see why people think he's better than MJ because in today's league athletes are so much more stronger, quicker, and faster. With that, Lebron by far exceeds anyone in physical/athletic ability & pure talent, which makes him such a monster on the court #beastmode

You can agree or disagree; I really don't care. This debate can go on forever, but I want to leave one final comment: MJ never just quit like Lebron did during the playoffs last year vs the Boston Celtics, and MJ won a Slam Dunk Contest vs Lebron who never even attempted to do #smh

Lebron is a great player lame but MJ is the greatest.

6/13/11 Update: Ok, I just wanna retract one of my comments from above after watching Game 6 where the Heat just got whooped on by the Mavs... Lebron: you are not great anymore to me; just physically gifted/talented in all aspects of the game yet you don't know how to close them when the pressures up. SMHx1000!

Day 159: Get Familiar - What Slaughterhouse is all about (Video)

For those of you not familiar with Slaughterhouse, check out this interview by FreeOnSMASH.

Get to know Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Royce da 5'9", & Crooked I a bit more and understand their perspective on the group, the culture, & their music. This is why I'm such a big fan #inspired

Day 158: Slaughterhouse @ HoB in Hollywood, CA - Recap (Videos)

5/31/11 - Hollywood, CA: This past Tuesday, I went to go check out my favorite & THE most lyrically-talented hip-hop group called SLAUGHTERHOUSE!! The show was #EPIC

Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, and Royce da 5' 9" each have their own unique rap style when they spit on the mic, and whenever they get in the zone they can spit some real crazy/raw sh#t. Their music is definitely not for everybody, but if you are truly a hip-hop head then you'll appreciate their music for what it's for & how they present it as an artist; not necessarily by the literal content of what they rap about.

Besides Slaughterhouse, there is no other real hip-hop group out there like them these days, period.

Here are some videos I took at the show:

Royce da 5' 9" - Fast Lane (ft. Eminem - not shown)



Joe Budden - Sober Up ft. Crooked I



Slaughterhouse - The One



#HipHopatitsFinest

Props to my homie J.Li for hooking me up & coming with me to the show.

I got more videos of other music stuff on my Youtube Channel right here: DaysofJ28 Chekkit!

Day 153: I Do It by Big Sean over the 9.8 D.Rose Adidas Commercial (Video)

I just saw this new Adidas commercial for Derrick Rose's new shoe during the OKC vs MAVs game yesterday (sad loss for okc...), and as soon as I heard the beat I knew it was from this recent song by Big Sean. Chekkit:

Big Sean - I Do It


"My crew is who I be widdy-be-wid-it, Rosé i sippity-sip-it, I'm Quagmire I f*ck hoes, my cashflow I giggy-d-gig-it..." - Big Sean

(This verse is creative & funny at the same time!)

Overall, I think this song is pretty dope and I've been really diggin Big Sean's rap style lately. He's been on the come up in my radar, and I have a feeling he's gonna have a big year this year. I met him real briefly once and he seems like a chill d00d too.

Be on the lookout for his first real album dropping this year called Finally Famous scheduled to be released in the Summer (6/21/11).

Day 151: Found the Real Life Magneto! It's A Young 6-Year-Old Kid (Video)

Ok, I didn't really follow Magneto's history as a kid so I don't know when he becomes evil, but note to the parents: raise him right now or it will be the death of us all!

Hmm, I think I'll need to watch the new X-Men movie coming out, X-Men: First Class to get a sense of how Magneto's power & evil develops when he's young, so we can train the kid right. Actually fcuk it, we need to assassinate him now before he can learn to think! To the Blackbird!! =P

Real talk though, if the kid doesn't become Magneto then I can see him making a career in Vegas! ;) Hey, if you had that power, wouldn't you like to get paid big $$$ to show it off? I'm sure when he grows up he'll be able to do some awesome tricks with that talent.. I'm just saying!

Props to my homie Beavs for showing me this one.

Day 149: Taj Gibson puts a facial on D.Wade!! WOW-zaz! (Video)

I know this is really late now but I just had to post this awesome dunk by Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls. I seriously felt the TV shake as this dunk was happening #epicdunk

I'm sorry to do this to you D.Wade but this was by far the best dunk I've seen so far during the #nbaplayoffs. I wonder why Dwyane Wade hasn't tweeted about this... =X

Day 147: Immortals - Looks to be the next "300".. awesome! (Trailer)

This movie, Immortals, looks like it's gonna be freakin awesome but maaan it's going to be a long wait as this movie is scheduled to be released this November (11/11/11). BOO! Such a tease!

I'm a bit excited but I'll have to hold it in since it's not coming out for a while. When we near the release date then I'll start getting #pumped !!

Day 146: For all the Guys - You will get the "Bieber Fever" after watching this! (Video)

Here's another funny one just like this: Twighlight: For Guys !!

Happy Cinco De Mayo everybody!

Day 145: D.Rose finally winning MVP!! = New Commercials (Video)

I gotta give a big shout out to one of my favorite Point Guards, Derrick Rose, who was just declared #MVP of this NBA season yesterday =)

He is probably the most explosive, talented, & clutch player in today's league, and is super exciting to watch every time he steps onto the courts. I really hope he can power through that hurt ankle of his and continue to stay on fire through the playoffs now that he's the MVP (even with that hurt ankle). Leggo!

I already saw two MVP commercials with D.Rose, and I just so happen to have found one of them by Adidas:



The other one was a Powerade commercial that I saw on TV, but it's not posted up online yet. When it does, I'll post it up.

Congrats to D.Rose now go handle some business tonight vs the Hawks! #gobulls

Day 144: What really happened when Bin Laden was killed - This is funny (Video)

Ohh man, this looks wrong in so many ways yet it feels so right! =D

Day 140.5: Baby Thor! - Parody of the Baby Darth Vader ad (Video)

If you remember the Baby Darth Vader commercial that was played during the Superbowl this year then you're gonna love this parody of it... it's Baby Thor!

Enjoy! =)

Day 140: Go NY Go (Remix) by Swizz Beatz ft. Amare x Melo - SMH x 100! (Video)

I'm really ashamed to post this up but man I have to bash on how lame this is.. #superwak !!

Cmon freals Swizzy, Amare, & Melo?!?! I think this is probably only used for the intermissions between timeouts & breaks during the game anyways, but still... I'm sure they could have come up with a better themed NY Knicks song than that!

If it was DJ Pauly D in the mix then I'd understand how this would fit together. With Swizzy tho, why not stick with a Hip-Hop themed song.. I mean, I thought Hip-Hop originated in New York? :\

Sounds like a bunch of Jersey Shores type music... blaaaaah SMH! Now I hope the Celtics whoop on the Knicks today.. #beatNY

Shout out to my homie Dex for showing me this one..

Happy GOOD Friday peeps!

Day 138: If You Don't Believe in UFO's.. You Will After Watching This! (Video)

Ok, I lied about posting something today but I just wanted to share this freaky UFO video that just recently surfaced. This NyQuil is kicking in so I'm going to let you watch the video and you make what you want from it.

Real UFO's or a Gov't Plot to take control of the world? #ibelieve #crazy

Props to my boy Shimpdizzle for showing me this one.

Day 137: Anderson Cooper Puts Snooki On Blast - Well Done AC! (Video)

You always have a way with words & make perfect sense of everything you talk about AC! Cheers. =)

It's about time Anderson Cooper bashed on Snooki & The Jersey Shores!! Yes, I do watch the show on occasion when I feel like laughing at idiots (who doesn't like watching dumb stuff? NOBODY!), but I definitely don't agree with all $$$ they are still getting from this... #superlame

The only good that came from The Jersey Shores is JWoww... WOWzas!
