Hyperize: Behind the Scenes

Just in case you wanted a look behind the scenes of the Hyperize, Don't Criticize commercial. I'm sensing some great Halloween costumes coming from this commercial:

Kenny Mayne; Mayne Street

This is probably my favorite "Mayne Street" episode so far.



Why am I blogging this? Is it October yet?

We Run This Town: Directors Cut

Hear about the making of "We Run This Town" by Jay-Z, straight from the Director's mouth. This is very entertaining. Especially when he talks about the frustration of spending 10% of the video's budget on Rhianna's damn sunglasses.

UPDATE: Nevermind. This video has been removed from the youtubes.

Top 50 Hip Hop Albums of the Aughts

I've been having a splendid time reading a list on "The Passion of The Weiss" blog about the top 50 hip hop albums of the 2000's....aughts or whatever you want to call them.

ENJOY

The best part about this list is that you can click on a MP3 from each album and then the player automatically counts down from there. So if you're all like "Damn, what's this 'Cannibal Ox -- The Cold Vein' album at #14 all about?" you can hear a hot beat and when that song is done the player will drop the hit "9 Milli Bros" from the #13 album "Fishscales" by the infamous Ghostface Killa....and then on from there. This will be a great way to totally confuse an apartment party full of hotties. They hots will say "This song is tight. But I'm not dancing because I've never heard it before on my Sirius/XM Hip Hop Nation station." Actually, no they wouldn't. Chicks have no taste in good rap whatsoever. NONE. Play the latest Rhianna song and call it a day.

Hit up a comment (because I know that we get SO many in the NBA Offseason) on which albums you currently own. I'm looking to fill in some holes. Also, let me know if you'd me to make a copy of any of the albums. I think I have about 15 or so on here, including Deltron 3030 at #50 and Lupe Fiasco at #49. Yes, I am a total dork for nerd rap.

David Stern in a Barbershop

Check out the NYT webisode of Commish Stern visiting a Babershop to answer questions about the NBA. Something tells me that FreeDarko will have some ideas about this meeting in the next few days. Looking forward to see what Shoals will say.

They Dominate Pools: SportsNation

As seen on the new ESPN Show SportsNation, here's a remix of the guys that have been dominating their pool all summer. Based on the layout of their parent's house, it looks like these guys didn't have to get jobs this summer. And the webiverse is thankful for that:

Gil Zero IS BACK!!!

Here is iphone video from last night (Friday, 8/14) at some streetball league game. Although the dunk at 5:48 cannot be missed, I highly advise watching and listening to this entire vid. From the And-1 on court commentator making fun of a dude's shorts to the sideline spectators talking about what they expect of Gilbert this next season, this thing is high entertainment. F*ck reality TV.



So what do you think? Is new Gilbert NEXT? 2nd Round Fantasy pick?
