ESPN Michael Jordan "It's not crazy it's sports" [Video]



I don't usually like posting American sports stuff on here, I have my reasons, but this commercial is so good I couldn't help but post it. I also figured that a lot of you know who the hell Michael Jordan is.

Ever wondered what it would be like to share the same name with the greatest basketball player of all-time? In the latest ESPN spot titled “It’s Not Crazy, It’s Sports,” we meet a middle-aged white man who just so happens to share the same first and last name with none other than Michael Jordan. We watch as various people from all walks of life are disappointed when in fact, this MJ and that MJ have little in common

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg set at Coachella [Video]



A great way to break the silence. This set had touch of Magic to it, not only were the backdrops, the features and the backing band on point, but there was also a performance from an eery Tupac hologram. That had most of Pac's mannerisms down pat, and had Snoop interacting with it. Is this the future? I can't say I wasn't there, the technology is impressive without a doubt, and opens up a whole lot of avenues for artists seeking to take their performances to another level. Imagine never having to go on tour, just shipping a hologram dvd to whaever remote corner of the world you were meant to perfom in.

G.O.O.D Music - Mercy [Artwork]



So tomorrow the first single will drop from the highly anticipated G.O.O.D Music album, and to whet your appetites the artwork for "Mercy," has been released. Simplistic and distinct, like the artwork for the G.O.O.D Friday tracks leading up to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I'm not too sure what strategy G.O.O.D will employ in getting the buzz leading up to the release date, but based on the evidence alone I'd be inclined to think that G.O.OD Fridays are back.

Kanye West ft. Dj. Khaled - Theraflu [Audio]



With the G.O.O.D Music album, looking like it's nearing it's release date, Kanye takes some time to not only drum up some attention, but also deal with a few issues that seem to have plagued the media, when it concerns him. The Wiz Khalifa/ Amber Rose, Kim Kardashian, and displays the kind of braggadocio that seems to have characterised the "Watch the Throne" album. Name checking various power players in the industry. It certainly has me amped for the first G.O.O.D single "Mercy, " which is set to drop tomorrow.

[Side Note]: It really pisses me off that international D.J's give props to Cape Town, while omitting Johannesburg.

Stalley ft. Rick Ross - Party Heart [Video]



After releasing, his mixtape "Savage journey to the American Dream"  on the 30th of March, the other bearded member of the MMG  Empire released visuals for his single "Party Heart." The video features emcee and fellow MMG member Rick Ross curbside, and displays cameos from a host of familiar faces including Miami Heat stars Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. In terms of sound the track is characteristically mellow and low-key, in line with the relaxed flows of Stalley and Ross.

Diggy Simmons vs. J.Cole [Video]



Quite a few people seem to have caught feelings over J.Coles recent success, first the fell off poster guy, Charles Hasmilton, and now Diggy Simmons call out Cole. Success must really be a bitch. Do I find any of these shots substantial enough to warrant a response? In my humble opinion, No. Two nobodies, albeit one is pretty well known, who have yet to make any sort of indelible mark on the game, just reaching .

Apparently this is a rebuttal to J. Cole’s slight jab at Diggy on Grew Up Fast.

Diggy checked into 99.1 KGGI to speak on his recently leaked J. Cole diss record implying that he simply did it to stand up for his sister after what Cole had rapped on 2010′s Purple Rain. Diggy also confirmed that the track was recorded over a year ago.This is why I hate Light skinned blacks.

Luckily for us Bar, does what Anna Kournikova wouldn't and plays her game in her undies.

The only problem is he enlisted Kendrick for the guest spot on this, and whebn Kendrick get's going, it's hard to remeber what preceded him.

Katy Perry botches up Ni**as in Paris [Video]



I don't know where to begin, I know I'll start with criticising the whole thought process behind attempting to do this track. Firstly Katy you're white I'm pretty sure the word Ni**a is still a landmine of shit for your kind. Your manager should have not "let you get in your zone," with this one. A track this effusive, has lead many to do a cover. Jay and Ye did it best though. Secondly you don't have that black pass, which would allow you to throw the N word around, sure you dated Travis, from Gym Class, but let's face it he's about as black as the line up at the finals for swimming at the Olympics. You just plain had no right to do this. Then I get to the musical stylings, not to get all Simon Cowell on you but this just plain sucks balls. Please leave this beat to the Ni**as. I would however like to point out that, If Katy needs a "black pass card" she can get in contact with me. Theres a bunch of lining up to get into you, before we let you into our world.

Cape Town named most alcoholic city in South Africa



A city drowning
 
Fuck it! I give up week in and week out my friends do their bit to increase the Johannesburgs overall consumption. It seems our efforts just were'nt enough. We can't do it alone people. I view this asa loss and an insult, putting our livers on the line here, to not even warrnt a worthy mention? I mean what's wrong with you JHB, we got the money, the population, the actual mixed vibe?! Our failure stings deep.

The Department of Health has released the results of a study completed earlier this year that paints a grim picture of both Cape Town and the Western Cape”s rampant use and abuse of alcohol. Long story short, the study concludes that Cape Town is South Africa’s drunkest city, and the Western Cape its booziest province. Er, get that city a Bells?

Some of the more shocking statistics include:

•50% of the city’s population drink regularly.
•One third of the city’s population abuse alcohol regularly.
•Approximately 66% of school pupils in the Western Cape (Grades 8 to 10) drink alcohol.
•One quarter of that 66% admit to binge drinking.
These results are part of the PR drive the Department is undertaking to promote a documentary series it made last year called “Booza TV” which takes a look at drinking culture in South Africa. They are also liaising with community organisations in order to plan campaigns to curb the rampant abuse of alcohol in the Western Cape through awareness-raising and advocacy.

The report points to a number of factors that are responsible for the massive use of alcohol in the city and the province, including the relative ease with which alcohol can be acquired, the high stress levels and violence associated with life in certain sectors, as well as the widespread marketing of alcohol.

The Pope commissions scent that only he can wear


"You didn't expect me to walk around smelling like this stuff , did you?"


(MSNBC) - At 84, Pope Benedict XVI has proven to be a spiffy dresser. He wears cherry red loafers that landed him in the pages of Esquire magazine as the “accessorizer of the year,” he’s been spotted wearing sunglasses by Gucci and been outfitted by the Italian fashion house, Belstaff. Now, according to the Guardian, il Papa has commissioned his own brand of eau de cologne, a scent that only he may wear. The fragrance is a combination of lime tree, verbena and grass and was created by Silvana Casoli, an Italian nose, as perfume makers are called, who has created scents for Sarah Jessica Parker, Katy Perry, Madonna and Sting

Had no idea he was also known as the iL Papa, that's the sort of name that lives in the rap game.(I wonder who the Popes hottest MC's are). Is this what the Papacy has been reduced to, just trying to outswag your predecessor? John Paul II rode the popemobile, Now Benedict XVI, is hittin us with red loafers and signature scents. Maybe I should have payed more attention at Sunday School. Queues, Notorious B.I.G - Big Poppa on the playlist.

So she suffers from cancer , and thinks her urine has a healing effect. she drinks it from a glass, her eyes, her nose, washes her teeth with it, ages some and rubs it on her skin. I heard yesterday that Bear Grylls show was cancelled coause of contractual issues, and all he ever did was drink piss. So, I reckon the Discovery channel has just found his replacement. If any friend of mine put me on T.V to confess they'd been drinking piss for 4 years, I think it's safe to assume the friendship ends there.Definately wouldn't drink the Apple juice at your house.

How to Poach Eggs perfectly


Breakfast is the most Important meal of the day and no matter how good Nutella on toast tastes, you got get something a little more substantial in you every now and then. I'm a fan of the egg, all sorts of breakfatsy goodness is house within that shell, and they are pretty versatile, scrambled, sunny side up, soft boiled, over easy eggs are pretty simple to prepare the hardcore amongst us even poach them. Try as Imight I always fuck the poachinmg process up, and end up with something that belongs in the bin.

Marc Matsumoto over on Fresh Tastes shares this great step by step guide/recipe on cooking the perfect poached egg. As he mentions, the difficulty is in reducing the amount of egg white that mixes with the water to make a poached egg. Matsumoto recommends four techniques and additions to help get that poached egg just “perfect” – egg white and all. Process after the jump...

The Lo Head Movement [Video]



A subculture I didn't know had a name up until recently, deriving it's name from Polo by Ralph Lauren. New Yorkcentric in origin, but slowly engulfing other parts of the globe. A movement that has deep levels of devotion, with some of the people refusing to wear anything other than Polo. From members of the Wu Tang Clan to Action Bronson, to 88-Keys. 88-Keys claims to have worn nothing but Ralph Lauren since 1993. I can't imagine being decked out in one label head to toe, and I'm glad we have sunnier climes here in S.A, so we don't have to swateh ourselves in layers of vintage Ralph Lauren.

2013 Mercedes Benz A Class


Looks as though Merc is finally going to ditch it's Mommy city roundabout look for something a little more traditional in the hatchback mould. This new look will definately see more men buying the smaller Benz, hell even aspire to own one. It has all the rigjht looks to make the right moves in a segment run by Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen. the sporty five-door hatch will be available in 1.6 (81 kw) or 2.0 liter (157 kw) petrol engines alongside diesel options which include a 2.2 liter, 127 kilowatt engine. Underneath the aggressively lined metal is an interior that is just as sporty and features the option to fully integrate the iPhone and eventually other smartphones into the car's infotainment system. It also can be equipped with a variety of features from its stablemates including Distronic Plus, Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Blind Spot Assist, and Active Parking Assist. Wonder if an AMG version is in the works.

Apparently, Lil’ Wayne was having too much fun in his animal print pants at his free show at the Hollywood & Highland Center yesterday and forgot about his scheduled appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”.

Look, I'm not one to objectify women, but in the same breath I won't deny the true nature of my beast. dangle a carrot in front of this donkey(ass in this case) and the donkey will do your bidding. Now Reef, makers of fine beach apparelwhere I have concentrated all my perving efforts. They have the Colita Internacional pagaent annually. For those not in the know colita means little tail (a euphemism if ever I saw one) where some of the tightest roundest asses gather round and strut their stuff on stage, much to the pleasure of guys in the crowd and those keeping tabs over the internet. To be honest I couldn't pick a single winner out of this line up.

Rick Ross All Star 2012 Weekend [Video]



All Star Weekend, is a big thing in the States, women want to knab themselves a baller, guys want to show that they are baller status. It's hard to think of a gathering of the sort, where you get to rub shoulders with star athletes, actors, musicians and social whores.

Rick Ross had his Dre Films outfits tail him all weekend, to chronicle the weekend from his perspective, from co -hosting a party with Amber Rose on Friday all the way to the last performance on Sunday. Personally I dig the videos where you get to peak behind the curtain, and see what it takes to make the machine grind.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta


In a world where car manufacturers are being forced to think greener and make smaleer engines. Most car manufacturers did what was asked of them, but nanaged to squeeze everything out those small blocks.Your top tier producers however throw caution to the wind and keep things heavy. Ferrari wasn't going to let Lambo run riot with it's V12 Aventador, so naturally their response was to produce their most powerful car yet to date.

Ferrari has finally revealed first images and details of their 599 successor officially named the F12 Berlinetta. Featuring a 6.2-liter (6262cc) 65 degree naturally-aspirated V12 engine delivering 740 HP (544 kW / 730 bhp), which translates to a specific output of 118 HP/liter, the Berlinetta has been described as “the most powerful and high-performance Ferrari road car ever launched.” For performance, the monster of the road accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and from 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.5 seconds. Amongst the other new amenities is the F1 dual-clutch unit, Rosso Berlinetta three-stage finish, and an all-new aluminum spaceframe chassis and bodyshell. The result is a a very compact car with a lower center of gravity that is further back in the chassis. The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta officially makes its debut at the Geneva Motor Show on March 6.

Italian Barmaid told to stop dressing sexy



I've got my local haunt, and although the the atmosphere is immeasurably awesome, I will concede that the people behind the bar(Lord bless their souls) could use a little sprucing up. It seems that the Italians don't appreciate a little skin. Haters gon' Hate.

Daily Mail – After eight years running a bar, Laura Maggi suddenly found men beating a path to her door. Not for the quality of her coffee and aperitifs, but because she had started appearing for work in highly revealing outfits. Hundreds of male customers flocked there day and night, leaving their cars double parked in the surrounding streets. Congestion became such a problem that the lady mayor announced she was considering an emergency bylaw to limit traffic in the area. Now women in the small northern Italian town of Bagnolo Mella have declared Le Cafe out of bounds to their menfolk – and 34-year-old Miss Maggi has become a national celebrity. Yesterday she was a guest on the Italian equivalent of This Morning and said: ‘I don’t see what the problem is – it’s just a bit of harmless fun. ‘If the guys come here what can I do? ‘I know I have upset the women but that’s not my problem. ‘It’s not my fault if guys want to come and have a drink in my bar.’ Bagnolo’s mayor Cristina Almici said: ‘We have received several complaints from women about the bar and we are looking at what we can do with regard to public order. ‘There has been a huge influx of traffic into the town since the news of Laura started to spread and this has led to incidents of bad parking and some minor acts of vandalism.

BMW M135i Turbo Concept



There'll be no objective writing from me when it comes to BMW, it's gonna be biased all the way.Decked out in classic BMW  M Livery, this hatch adds some balls to the 1 series hatch.

Titled the M135i, BMW created a concept that entwines a twin-turbo and pure gasoline-powered inline six cylinder engine to a newly developed 3-door hatchback body style. Designers claim the shape provides “a more dynamic and elongated appearance” complemented by a custom M-designed suspension stance, wide flared wheel arches, 18-inch Motorsport division exclusive wheels, and aggressive front air intake design. No word on a release date or availability as of yet.

DMX Breakfast Club Interview [Video]



DMX, has never been one to bite his tongue, it's a trait that, can be appreciated in todays world of ambivelence, sub tweets and subliminal shot taking. He steps in with the Breakfast club, for a rather lenghty pow - wow. I could just put up excerpts from the interview, but I feel it's done a lot more justice when viewed in full, also covering my ass, so as not to put anything out of context.

He touches on issues with Def Jam/Jay Z, the same issues we've heard from a countless other Def Jam dropouts. His thoughts on a few of todays most poular artists, namely Rick Ross, Drake and J.Cole. He says it so straight that it make Commons "sweet," look like a veiled diss. I would be remiss not to comment on X's twitchy demeanour. I'll be listening to the music to see if he can get back to those old heights.This rap shit is tough to crack without some friends in your corner, especially when you trying to make a comeback.

The short movie, discovered in the basement of the director’s house, tells the story of the epic struggle between law enforcement and a gang of ruthless thieves, and how the battle between good and evil takes a turn for the better thanks to the intervention of Black Mamba – international man of action and incredible baller. Key Italian athletes play prominent in this classic, with appearances by Alberto Aquilani, Marco Belinelli, Gennaro Gattuso, Claudio Marchisio, Marco Materazzi and Giampaolo Pazzini.

Odd Futre gets a show on Adult Swim (Trailer)



A lot of you don't even like the Odd futurist movement. Many of you praying for their demise or for them to slip into obscurity. Guess, they got a little more stamina than most of you expected, leveraging off the internet buzz to extend their 15 minutes a little longer.

 Odd Future’s Adult Swim TV show, Loiter Squad, finds the crew in a green room being completely consumed by cheeses of all sorts. With seemingly full creative control, one can only dream what OFWGKTA has thought up for their “lightly” scripted series.  To quote one of my favourite scenes in  Gladiator, The mob is fickle, brother. He'll be forgotten in a month. This looks like a black version of Jackass..

Woody Allen is just too busy for the Oscars


You get to the level of success and the age where everything oyu xchased just doen't seem as illustrious as it used to. Or, you've done this enouigh times to know that the show will go on without you. Woody Allen, I don't know what the case was for you, but I always like my octogenerians, a little on the eccentric side a la Denny Crane.

Letty Aronson, producer of Midnight in Paris and Woody Allen‘s sister, said she hadn’t talked to the filmmaker but was “pretty sure” he knew he won for best original screenplay.
“He was saying that the NBA All-Star Game was on at the same time [as the Oscars] so he might have to turn the channel,” Aronson said. “But I bet [wife] Soon Yi told him he won.” [THR]

Teacher accidentally posts dick picture on facebook wall


NY Daily NewsA decorated high school football coach in Maine was forced to resign on Monday after he mistakenly posted a nude photo of himself on Facebook and a local parent spotted it, according to a local report. Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School coach Paul Withee said he didn’t realize the racy shot, which was meant as a private message to one person, was posted publicly until a half hour after he put it up last week, Maine’s Sun Journal newspaper reported. He immediately pulled the photo down — but not before an Oxford Hills parent spotted it. The unidentified parent complained to school officials on Feb. 7. “I’m embarrassed, I’m ashamed, I’m humiliated,” Withee, 51, told the Sun Journal. “I’ve never done anything like this before and I never will again,” he said. School officials said that Withee was not friends with any Oxford Hills students on Facebook, and they are pretty sure the parent was the only one who saw the photo. Withee was named the varsity football coach at Oxford Hills in March after spending 19 years at Foxcroft Academy, a private school where he won three state championships and seven class championships. He also taught math and science at Oxford Hills Middle School. School Superintendent Rick Colpitts called the nude photo leak a mistake. “There was never any malicious intent. The photo was never intended for the public,” Colpitts told the Sun Journal. “He tried to correct it. I feel badly for him. I wish him well.” Withee is not expected to face criminal charges.

But between balancing all that studying and his burgeoning acting career, he still found time to party. In this episode of Party Legends from VICE and Project X, Jeong recounts the tale of his own bachelor party when he and his admittedly socially awkward friends took to a Las Vegas strip club for lap dances and ended up getting a little more than they bargained for.

Adele on 60 Minutes [Video]



Having swept everything up at the Grammy Awards, and performing for the first time since her throat surgery. 60 minutes sat down with Adele, prior to the Grammy Awards. I truely believe Adele is going down as one of the best musicians this generation has ever seen. With her album 21 having sold in excess of 18 million copies worldwide, and having occupied the top spot on the Billboard music chart for the longets period since any album released since 1993.  It's pretty obvious that we're witnessing something  special here.

In this interview she touhes on the affects of fame, her surgery, her musical process, and a bit on her personal life. In an industry that's all about image it's pretty refreshing to see an artist who has no gimmicks and just gives her all, and makes it seem so effortless. Your favourite artist sites her as inspiration. Vid of her Grammy performance after the jump..

Everytime Aaron Ramsay Scores someone famous dies

The Harbinger of Death


Haha, as a Gunner myself, I find this kind of funny. His boot is the Angel of death?! Wonder if this will mess with his head?

The Sun – FOOTBALL star Aaron Ramsey was being bizarrely linked to Whitney Houston’s death by fans last night after a series of odd coincidences. Every time the Arsenal midfielder scores, a famous figure dies. Whitney was the fourth in under a year. Her body was found hours after Ramsey, 21, netted during the Premier League game against Sunderland on Saturday. The coincidences began last May when Ramsey scored against Man United. Next day al-Qaeda terror leader Osama Bin Laden was killed. In October he scored against Spurs, three days before Apple boss Steve Jobs died. Later that month he scored against Marseille in the Champions League. Next day Libyan tyrant Colonel Gaddafi was shot. One fan wrote on a forum: “I’m worried things will get out of control when he scores more.”

Riff Raff x Action Bronson - Bird on a Wire [Video]



Two, guys who are polar opposites on one track. No clue how this collaboration canme about, the only thing they have in commoon is their skin colour, and that was never a basis to collab. We've been seeing a lot of these unexpected collaborations Tyler and Game, Tyler and Pusha, and so far they seem to create track that are worthy of listening to. Action comes wiht that hard hitting NY flow, concise and focused, whlile Rif Raff , who is Soldier Boy's Lieutenant, who is mostly known for spitting  a whloe lot of  ignorance, laces his boots up and goes at it too. Over this atmospheric Harry Fraud beat, I can't fault the end result.

Sometimes, I feel like I should set up a hotline, where people with shi shitty track record of making decisions should call me, and i dole out advise that will see them through whatever situation they're in, something like this."Hi, what's that you say, he's not your dog, first time in his space you say? Ooooh lady, I don't think that's such a great idea. Look, I understand his owner will have him on a lead, but it's all about personal space and boundaries in the animal kingdom.
