Don't Forget That This Was a Popular Song...



I'm a Flirt Remix baby! T-Pain, T.I. and Kells?? What a combo... Remember when R. Kelly had a pretty decent album? Too bad that guy is goofy, because I really enjoy his music. Anyway, I just thought I should put this up here so nobody forgets it. Enjoy!

More New Music for Rap Fans

I gotta post a few more songs this week. There have been some big artists posting new songs online for free so I have been taking advantage of that. Can't wait to see what else is happening around the music world in the near future... For now, check these songs out:

KiD CuDi - Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More of That Whiskey!
CuDi is back and rapping again, and I'm lovin' it! He is so versatile with his music, and I'm glad he is producing more rap music, even though I do love his WZRD album. He uses the beat from his song "GHOST!" off his second album to make this fun song. I really hope you like it.


Lil' Wayne - Celebrate
Weezy is back making more music. I love the beat on this one. There is a complete version with Mack Maine on it, but I kinda just like the shortened version. It's just kind of a fun one to jam out to.


Tyga - Designer
More of the YMCMB crew right here with Tyga. Again, I'm diggin' the beat and there are some pretty fun verses on it. Ok, not really, it is very sexual and kind of disgusting. I don't even like this song. I'm not a huge fan of a repeating chorus, but this song makes it work. It's not often that I'm gonna post Tyga on here, so good luck with this one.


Bow Wow - Better (feat. T-Pain)
This is different that the recent stuff that Bow Wow has produced. The verses are put together well, and I always like a T-Pain chorus if it's fun. Hope you dig this one as well.

Derrick Rose Tears ACL



Derrick Rose tore his ACL yesterday in Game 1 of the opening playoff series against the Philly 76ers. This is a huge blow to Chicago.... obviously. I don't think they have a chance of winning this anymore. They have great players on that team, but he is definitely the most important part. If they can beat the Sixers, I can't see them getting any farther.
This definitely makes my favorite in the Eastern Conference the Miami Heat. I just think LeBron is gonna be too unstoppable. I would still like to see the Magic make it to the Finals, but without Dwight Howard that is gonna be super tough. Right now it has gotta be between Atlanta and Miami, just because both teams are healthy right now.
I like OKC in the Western Conference. I could definitely see the Spurs win that conference, but I like the youth of the Thunder and I can see them running the floor on the guys from San Antonio. Should be a fun NBA Playoffs to watch yet again this year.
Again, it is really sucky to see a guy like Derrick Rose get injured like this. I hope he has a speedy recovery, and good luck to the Bulls in the rest of the playoffs.

Chiddy Bangin' to Mind Your Manners - New Music Video



Sweet. Chiddy Bang released the video for Mind Your Manners off their new album Breakfast. It's a pretty bumpin' song, so I hop you enjoy!

NFL Draft: Round 1 Recap



As expected, the NFL Draft was freakin' awesome in round one! I love watching the Draft every year. It's so awesome to see these guys get drafted and have their dreams come true. This year is especially fun since the Vikes drafted early. As expected, Andrew Luck went number one, followed by Robert Griffin III at two were the first two picks. After trading to the Browns, who took Trent Richardson with the third pick, the Vikes grabbed big offensive tackle Matt Kalil from USC. This dude is a total beast, and I can't wait to see him blocking for Adrian and keeping Ponder safe all year.
There were a few strange picks as well. I definitely was not expecting Seattle to take Bruce Irvin with that high of a pick at 15. Also I thought Shea McClellin went to high at 19 to Chicago. The best part of the draft to me was at pick number 29. The Vikings trade up and take probably my favorite guy in the draft: Harrison Smith. The safety from Notre Dame was a four-year starter, and the only player to record 200+ tackles in his career at ND. Not to mention the guy is also a ball hawk and finished with seven interceptions last year. Can't wait to see this kid play.
There is more Draft tomorrow starting at 6pm. I am definitely ready for a weekend full of this. No plans for the weekend, but chillin' and watching the draft. I'd love to see the Vikes take Brandon Boykin from Georgia with that 3rd rounder tomorrow. I think he will definitely be a good choice. We'll see what we can get though!

Jazz Clinch Playoffs



Big Al Jefferson absolutely went off last night! He was amazing in the final minutes of the win against the Phoenix Suns to clinch a playoff spot for the Jazz this season. This also comes as great news for Wolves fans like myself, because that means we will have a first round pick in next year's draft. With such a deep draft class, this is a huge year to get that pick back. So thank you Al Jefferson! Now I'll be cheering for them to lose so we can get that 19th pick overall!

Mrs. Irrelevant?



Damn... Good luck to Mr. Irrelevant I guess....

Five Second Films




My new favorite thing online: Five Second Films. There are like a thousand five second films, and they're all pretty funny. It is something to go online and do to waste time, but it won't waste very much time. Check out their YouTube page right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/5secondfilms

Kevin Love Shaves Off the Beard



Hahahahahahahahahaha! Look at this goofy guy named Kevin Love! I think this picture is so funny, he looks like a little kid. His hair is super goofy too. Gotta love the Wolves. It's a cool group of guys, led by this guy Kevin Love. We had a rough game last night, losing to Golden State, when we blew a 21 point lead.... Can't wait for next year. Gotta get Love, Rubio, Ridnour, and Pek healthy. I think we can definitely have a good team next year. And Kevin Love, please grow that beard back. You are not intimidating at all looking like that!

Ron Artest is Back



Yeah, that just happened. Ladies and gentlemen, Ron Artest has come back to the NBA. Metta World Who? I hope James Harden is okay. He came out at halftime, but evidently he's going back into the locker room to get checked out, and he will not be returning. It could be a concussion.
I was hoping that Serge Ibaka would have just straight up brawled with him and punched his lights out. Metta World Peace is one of the biggest idiots in sports. He's gonna get a huge suspension. I'm a big James Harden fan, so it was disappointing to see. But we know how Ron Artest is. Nobody could ever forget this...

Vikings Draft Options


So the 2012 NFL Draft is slowly approaching, and the Vikes have the 3rd pick overall. We got a lot of holes to fill, so this year's draft is crucial. Here are a few guys that I really like, and I'd love to see the Vikes take a chance with them:

Morris Claiborne - CB, LSU
 Everybody knows who Morris Claiborne is in this draft. I'd love to see the Vikes go after him with the 3rd pick. As crucial as a left tackle is for our young quarterback, the Vikes need a ton of help at cornerback. I think Claiborne is gonna be one of the best corners in the NFL eventually. Plus, in a division that we have to take on Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings, and Brandon Marshall... we're gonna need a shutdown corner. There is no way we can survive with the secondary we have now, and it's time to bring in the young guys. I wouldn't be disappointed with Kalil or Blackmon at all, though. All three of these guys have top talent and I think will all be great athletes in their career.

Harrison Smith - S, Notre Dame
Second round and I think the Vikes should go with some more defensive backs. Harrison Smith is a bright kid who has proven to be a great football player. The guy had three picks in his bowl game and solidified himself as a great draft prospect. I'm just hoping he can fall to us in the second round. It's gonna be a crazy draft, so who knows where he could land. I think if he's available to the Vikes in the second round we should go with him. Again, in a division with probably the best receivers in the NFL, we gotta beef up that secondary and try to slow down these passing threats. Harrison Smith at safety would be a solid pick here.


Mohamed Sanu - WR, Rutgers
I have discussed this guy over the last few months with a lot of people. Nobody thinks he will be an all-star but they can't disagree with his athletic ability. I don't think he'll be an amazing game-changing guy, but that isn't what the Vikes need on offense. Ponder just needs another target. We have been talking to former Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson, which would be a nice signing, but if we don't get him, we're gonna need to find someone. I think Sanu could turn out to be better than expected. He's got a lot of raw talent which can easily be molded into some skills in the NFL. I'd love to see the Vikes snag him if he drops to the third round.


Kirk Cousins - QB, Michigan State
I have probably been the biggest supporter of Kirk Cousins over the last few weeks. I have seen this guy's highlights, and I really have no idea how he is not a guaranteed first round pick. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this guy?? Really, I have no idea... please help me figure this out. I actually think he is the third best QB behind Luck and RGIII. I don't know why everyone is talking about Tannehill. Cousins is gonna be a great quarterback, and even though the Vikes have Ponder, there is high value in this pick. If anything happened to Ponder, or maybe he just didn't turn out how we'd hoped, Cousins could be a tremendous insurance quarterback. He is someone who clearly understands the game and his position.

Doug Martin - RB, Boise State
The Vikes don't really need a runningback, after we signed like 3 free agents this offseason, but Martin wouldn't hurt. He's a young guy with some speed. He's just an all-around great runningback. I would go to high on him, but if he's a fourth round option, I would like to see us take a chance. There are far too many position players I have been looking at for the Vikings, but I think these might be good options. If Peterson and Gerhart continue to struggle with injuries, Martin would be a nice fill in alongside some of the other guys we have signed, such as Lex Hilliard and Jordan Todman. I'd like to see us find a back somewhere in this draft, even if it is the late rounds.


Markus Zusevics - OT, Iowa
Here's a big boy that would be a good draft pick for the Vikes. He's got good size and strength and would be a solid fourth or fifth round pick. He has been overshadowed by the guy on the other side of the line, Riley Reiff. The Vikes obviously need some work up front on the line, especially with the departures of Anthony Herrera and Steve Hutchinson. Zusevics is a guy that I think we can develop into a starter, either as a tackle or a guard. From what I've read, he seems to be pretty underrated, and he's a good kid with a lot of upside. Here's my offensive line suggestion for the Vikes.


Jaquies Smith - OLB, Missouri
This guy is pretty much a monster. He's a little undersized, but he plays big. Another guy that has been overshadowed by a stud who played in front of him. Last year Aldon Smith (who had an amazing rookie season) was the guy that silenced the skills of Jaquies Smith. I think this guy will go late and he will be a good pick for whoever gets him. Hey, the Vikes could use a little help at linebacker... let's try him out and see how it works. I think we will be hearing Jaquies Smith's name as an impact defender in the NFL in the near future.



Keshawn Martin - WR, Michigan State
Here's another guy I've been high on for a while. I don't know what it is that impresses me so much with these Michigan State guys... I think Keshawn Martin is highly underrated. He was an impact performer who was always a go-to-guy in the final minutes. On the other side B.J. Cunningham was getting all the attention, yet it seemed like nobody could keep up with Martin. Cousins said that Martin was gonna be a surprised to a lot of people, and I agree with him. Huge upside with this pick, and I think we can get him on a last day pick. He'll be a steal wherever he goes.


Dale Moss - WR, South Dakota State
Ok, this is a homer pick. Gotta go with the South Dakota guy in round seven. I got to see this guy play football and basketball against my high school, so it would only be awesome to see him play for the Vikings. I don't know how great he'll be, but we might as well take a chance. From what I've heard, he's an extremely athletic kid. Also, he has a lot of size and speed. That's a pretty good combo for a wide receiver. Best of luck to Dale in his professional football career.

Dwight Howard Out for Season



Dwight Howard will be undergoing back surgery and will be missing the rest of the season, including the entire playoffs. This is a huge development as we are entering the last week of games. This is gonna be big trouble for the Magic, especially since Big Baby Davis is having trouble with injuries as well. Sucks to see that Dwight will be out, which just adds to more drama for the season in Orlando. I'm thinking Dwight will be out of a Magic uniform next year and I could definitely see him going to New Jersey. The playoffs should be interesting and we'll look forward to seeing how that picture turns out. Good luck to Dwight and the Magic in both their futures.

Short Film of the Week: (notes on) Biology



I thought this was a cool short film. I'm one of those guys who draws all over my notebook during lecture so I can relate. And I thought the robot elephant thing was pretty sweet.

Get Some More New Music for the Week

Yesterday was a big day for music I guess. A lot of guys released some new songs, and these were the best ones I heard. I hope these are good recommendations for you as the school year winds down and we get ready for the summer!

Kevin McCall - Naked (feat. Big Sean)
First off, who doesn't love a little Big Sean?? This is a pretty cool song, and Kevin McCall is starting to make a name for himself. I could see this song blow up soon.

Travis Scott - Animal (feat. T.I.)
I really like the beat to this song. And of couse, T.I. is on it, so it has to be good. I love the first verse by Travis Scott too. Hopefully we get to hear more from this combo.

Maroon 5 - Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa)
Wow, Maroon 5 did it again. They are making hit after hit lately. This one comes from a radio rip and features one of the more fun rappers today, Wiz. Wiz puts a pretty cool spin on this song that blends the alternative rock with some hip-hop. Hope you enjoy.

YONAS - One More Time
YONAS is my dude. I have heard all  of his stuff. He doesn't come up with the catchiest or most popular songs, but everything he puts out is just really solid rap. He always has great verses. I bet you can guess the beat on this one before it even plays too. Gotta love what he's doing.

B.o.B Drops Strange Clouds May 1st



So far, B.o.B's new album is probably one of the best albums I have EVER heard. Every song he has released so far has been awesome. Strange Clouds is coming May 1st and I couldn't be more excited. I will for sure be buying that album. This song right here is So Hard to Breathe, which is supposed to be a sequel to Don't Let Me Fall off his first album. I will definitely be reviewing this album. Can't wait!

Awesome Tupac Hologram at Coachella 2012



Have you seen this yet?? This is nuts... Coachella put on a show with Snoop Dogg featuring a hologram of Tupac. It is amazing what technology can do. The end is the craziest part. Watching Tupac burst into a ray of light. Gotta be one of the best concerts for anyone who was in attendance, cuz I thought that was insane just watching on my computer!

My First Stand Up Comedy Attempt



I tried doing stand up comedy for the first time on Friday night. It didn't go so bad. I don't think I was the least funny guy there... But here it is! Let me know what you think, I might try going again!

Sean Brown - Chapter 86: The Blind Art Collector


I don't really know who Sean Brown is, though I've heard a few of his songs before this. None of them were that great, but just fun to listen to. This mixtape is pretty dang good though. I'm not gonna say it's the best, but a few of the songs are really fun to listen to. Check out "Tour Life" and "Let It Go". Those are the two best on the tape. I recommend the mixtape. I definitely think it is worth giving a listen at least. Let me know what you think! You can listen and download here:

Childish Gambino Announces a New Mixtape



Childish Gambino announced on his Tumblr page that he is releasing a new mixtape in the near future. He hasn't given a title or a specific date for the project, but it's cool to know that one is coming. Gotta be excited for that, especially since I will be seeing him in concert next month up here in Minneapolis. I hope it comes soon so I can get a feel for it before the concert. I love what Donald does and his style. He's a completely talented renaissance man. He's a hilarious comedian, a great writer for many shows, an awesome actor (especially on Community), and of course a very talented musician/singer/rapper. I'm sure he has a long and great career ahead of him. All that from just announcing that he has a new mixtape ahead!

Push the Button to Add Drama



This is probably the most awesome video ever. I wish I saw this button and had pushed it. Can you imagine witnessing that? I was having a blast just watching the video. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it..

Ozzie Guillen Suspended



In case you haven't heard, Ozzie Guillen, manager of the Miami Marlins, made some pretty dumb comments this week. He said he "loves Castro" and "respects Castro" for staying in power for so long. He claims to have meant it in a different way, as he was thinking it in Spanish and saying it in English. That is somewhat understandable, but you "love" Castro?? Come on, the comments are ridiculous.
Guillen has been suspended for the next five games. This is understandable, as it should tell him to keep his mouth shut on stupid issues that have nothing to do with baseball. He also offered an apology that I thought was very sincere. So should Ozzie be fired for the comments?
If you are gonna fire him, don't fire him because he made some comments in poor judgement. He has every right to make any comment he wants, even if he means every word. This is America, come on... It may be necessary to fire him, because over half of his fans are Latino, and are not huge fans of Fidel Castro. The Marlins do need to have fans in the stadium after all...
But I think people need to calm down. He's a baseball manager, not a political analyst. He shouldn't have to worry about these kinds of questions. Much less, I don't think fans should have to worry what he thinks about these stupid issues. He's there to coach a baseball team and help them win games. If the Marlins are winning and keeping decent attendance, I think they should keep Ozzie. Give him another chance. You know he won't make those stupid comments again... That's just my opinion. I'm sure there are many others, and I would love to hear them.

Hoodie Allen Releases New EP - "All American"



Hoodie Allen just released his new EP at midnight, and all I can say is... WOW! This is the best 8 song EP you can imagine. These are actually Hoodie's best songs yet. Everyone of them is great. I can't wait to see Hoodie May 16th up here in the MPLS. Eighteen Cool is legitimately the greatest song ever made (or at least that's how I feel right now).
Way to go Hoodie! Can't wait to see what else you have coming!

Short Film of the Week: Kiwi



At first I was like, "What is this funky little creature doing?" but then I got it as he started going down the mountain. He just wanted to feel like he was flying! And he loved it! I thought it was so cool. But then he wept one little tear, and I remembered that he was gonna fall to the bottom... Kinda sad actually. But he lived life to the fullest and did what made him happy, so it was kind of inspiring. I hope you like it.

Well, the Twins Suck



The Twins are off to a 0-4 start in which they haven't held a lead. They lost 3 in Baltimore, and yesterday got off to a bad start against the Angels, losing 5-1. They play the Angels again tomorrow. I didn't expect them to be a great team this year, but come on guys. Mauer is getting paid $23 million to hit under.100 thus far. Our hitting is awful. I don't think we're gonna even win a game this year... (at this pace we won't)
But in all honesty, can't wait to hit up some games at Target Field. Even if we stink this year it will be fun to get to watch. I think the Angels are gonna be the team to beat this year. They look really good, and I'll probably end up rooting for them toward the end of the season. I'm glad we finally got some baseball, since I'm kinda sick of basketball and the Wolves (who have lost 6 straight now). Good work Minnesota! (not).

Gophers Linebacker Found Dead



Former Gophers linebacker Gary Tinsley was found dead in his dorm room early Friday morning. He was only 22 years old and on his way to the NFL Draft. A sad day for Gophers fans and all the people who knew Tinsley. He was a great player and seemed like even a better person. Thoughts are going out to his family and friends through this tough time.

Gotta Get Some New Music

I have not put any new music on my page in a long long time. I had to find some stuff that I'm digging lately. The problem is that everywhere I find my music, it's either super gangsta or super dance-pop. I just like that normal rap and chill rock songs. Here's a few. Let me know if you like them.

Frank Ocean - Thinking About You
I never really listen to R&B, but for some reason I love what Frank Ocean has been producing. I love his voice and especially to the chorus for this song is catchy. I don't think it will be free for very long, because I'm sure he has an album coming soon, so go download it!



Ludovin - Tricks (Feat. Childish Gambino)
Here's kind of a dance song, so I'm kind of a hypocrite. But Childish Gambino is the boss of the world, so I have to share it. He puts in a nice verse midway through the song, so it's really good to hear him come out with some new stuff. I hope he keeps making more.



DJ Khaled - Take It To the Head (Feat. Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Lil' Wayne)
Who doesn't love DJ Khaled? Well, personally I think his voice is kind of annoying, but he always has a good lineup of artists in his songs so they are usually good. I'm not a huge fan of 3 of the 4 artists he works with on this song, but Nicki is pretty fricken cool. Hopefully you enjoy this one too.

Short Film of the Week: To Be the Best



I'm a day late on the short film for this week. I found this pretty funny one about Tenacious D. I'm kind of a Jack Black fan, so I liked it a lot. I hope you enjoy...

Nike Unveils New NFL Uniforms Today



Nike is presenting each team with their new uniforms shortly. I'm surprised nobody has really been talking about this, because I'm thinking we're gonna see a lot of changes. So far, I've heard the Panthers have black helmets, and the Redskins have made a lot of changes to their uniforms. I have also read through Twitter that the Seahawks either have SICK jerseys (via Jermichael Finley) or UGLY (via Kevin Seifert). Either way, should be fun to see what every team will be sportin' this year. Percy Harvin is the Vikes' representative and I hope he's stylin' today.

NCAA Basketball Championship Tonight



Game just started... I got Kentucky over Kansas tonight 68-61. Whoo!

Timberwolves Are Pretty Much Done



The Wolves are now 3 and a half games out of 8th place in the Western Conference. In a battle with four other teams, and falling far behind, I don't think they can make it. They were awesome at the beginning of the season and I gotta salute them for trying, but I just can't see them making the playoffs right now. Hopefully this is the greatest obvious jinx attempt ever though... With the loss of Ricky Rubio, and later the loss of Nikola Pekovic, the Wolves have not bounced back to the team they were before. But how can you do that without two of your three best players? Not possible.... They got the Kings tonight, so hopefully we can just scrap up some of these wins against bad teams. Still a big Wolves fan and I'm happy that we've changed the atmosphere here in Minnesota.

Most Epic Music Video Ever



This is actually the best music video ever. Get ready for the most epic fist pump ever at the 2:49 mark. Pretty much makes me wanna do a back flip and climb a mountain... Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
