MVP - Check It

R. Kelly Has Ron Isley In His Sights

One of the best dramatic performances in an R&B video ever. Move over Ron Isley, there is a new sheriff in town. Knowing that he is a rapist somehow makes him seem more human, not less. Is that weird? Ready to blast off with this narcissistic space cadet? Real Talk!

Mashup Alert!!

Some Genius (Norwegian Recycling) decided to take the original score from the classic Super Nes Game Donkey Kong Country and turn it in to a mashup album. All of your friends lay down some tracks! Tupac, Diddy Kong, Biggie, Daisy Kong, Snoop Dog, Pappy Kong, and more. The gang’s all here!

Get that lick

And while we are on the topic of MASHUPS, you have to listen to this. I know that it is a little bit old, but I think it slipped through the cracks. The entire Ziggy Stardust album… mashed. Skip the first two tracks, but after that it is smooth sailing!

Don’t stop, get it get it

Bad Week For Suge

Oh yeah, and that hair stylist that knocked out Suge Knight was at the BET awards the other night.

And then Suge went and sold got Death Row Records sold out from under him the other day by “The Man” to this lady, Susan Berg, for $24 mil… I shit you not.

This lady now owns such gangsta classics as “nothin’ but a g thang“, “that one where snoop dog is home alone and has a house party but then his parents come home early from his mom’s sister bernice’s house and they aren’t please with what they find happening at their house because they specifically forbid snoop from having a party“, and “Gin and Juice“.

She also owns 20 unreleased zombie songs from Tupac Shakur. Poor Tupac, he still lives up to his hit song “I Get Around” as he spins in his grave.

Kobe Gets Dissed by Shaq

In this video Shaq disses hard on Kobe. He claims that is was just a freestyle and all in fun, but if you watch his buddy in the video, he seems to know the words to Shaq’s “freestyle” and sing along with him. Busted!

That’s all I got. Keep it real.
