Some of the greats getting what's due

In honor of the Beastie Boys rightfully being inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of fame, the Roots, Kid Rock, and Travie McCoy perform some of my favorite cuts from the influential group. They changed the game as it was being written. Mad props.

FOUR MORE YEARS

Who else is gonna get down and dirty?

No one wants a cabinet of tight pricks running their country, right? I sure don't. Here's some proof of why I'm proud to be an American. Your Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, gets loose in Colombia at Cafe Havana to cap off the VI Summit of the Americas. I'm sure she downed that beer in one take.

At least you're not this guy

"I'm so loaded I got fools trying to be me. Literally."

In more Diddy related news, Queens native, Quamine Taylor, broke into Diddy's Hampton home and chilled like a king Diddy. He ate his food, drank his drank, and even dressed like the dude. He was able to live the life for almost 24 hours after finding an unlocked basement door. But how? Apparently this isn't the first time Mr. Taylor made his dream come true. He's been doing this on and off since 2001.

“I really didn’t go to Diddy’s house because I’m a big fan of his. I just wanted to get out of the city for a while. I was actually hoping to stay like 15 to 17 days,” he said.

Yeah, right. But who can blame a guy? 15 to 17 days isn't much, right? Especially when Diddy probably has houses he doesn't even remember buying across the globe.

Is this really necessary?

"Aww hellnawww."

 

I don't know who let Dr. Dre make the call on this one but Nate Dogg will be hitting the stage with Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G, and Daz Dillinger, as a HOLOGRAM at Coachella. Seriously though? Somebody please go to Coachella and tell me how dumb this is going to look-Snoop Dogg giving Nate Dogg a pound, and missing. The Gorillaz are the only group who do this at live shows and there's a reason for that. I just hope this doesn't become commonplace so lazy artists can perform "live" at different venues from the comfort of their Cribs worthy homes. 

Another miss for Lil Wayne

While locked up in Rikers, Lil Wayne wrote some "love songs." He then decided it was a good idea to release an album of these songs after he was released. Very disappointing. It's going to be called Devol (pronounced Devil). Why Devol? It's "loved" backwards. Clever, right? No, not really. Unless these songs are anywhere as kinda good as Ms. Officer from way back when, I'm gonna pass on this. Stop with the skating clothing, side projects, and go back to mixtape Weezy. Please.

More G.O.O.D. music!

That's right. Q-Tip just signed to the mega giant that is G.O.O.D. music. Was it fate? I mean, I was at the Brooklyn Hip Hop festival last summer where they shared the stage for Kanye's guest appearance and they seemed to have mad chemistry. I like to think my presence sealed their relationship. Just saying.

A Clockwork Orange 2.0

This song by the Airplane Boys (off their mixtape, Alignment) could have easily been turned into the background song for a modern interpretation of the scene where Alex and his crew wreck havoc on the town. But I forgive the director.
