NEW (RAP) SONGS FOR YOUR iPOD
BEASTIE BOYS
“TOO MANY RAPPERS (FEAT. NAS)”
Welcome back MCA, Mike D, and Ad Rock. It’s been too long. The Beastie Boys officially have their ill licenses back and have returned with the first single from their first (non-instrumental) album since 2004. “Too Many Rappers” calls back to late-80s and early-90s Beastie hip-hop. A simple drum beat that feels like it was transplanted from 1994’s Ill Communication supplements the back-and-forth MCing that we have grown to love from the BBoys. Their new album is titled Hot Sauce Commitee P. 1 and hits stores September 15.
KID CUDI
“MAKE HER SAY (FEAT. KANYE WEST & COMMON”
Cleveland-born, Brooklyn-based rapper Kid Cudi’s debut album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, doesn’t drop until September, but the first two singles released make it one of the most anticipated albums of the year. Paired with Kanye West, Kid Cudi has released two solid hip-hop songs in the smash hit “Day ‘N Nite” and now “Make Her Say”, a track that features Kanye and Common with some “Pokerface” GaGa samples. Kanye thankfully drops the whole vocoder phase and actually raps, as Cudi further solidifies himself as a mainstay in modern rap.

ANOTHER WASP WINS AMERICAN IDOL
Yay. Joy. Hell yes. Hooray. Jump for joy. Oh boy. Cool. I heard that. Murdah.
Kris Allen (right) won American Idol on Wednesday night, and as most people (with lives) don’t watch Idol, I’ll give you a recap:
Kris Allen is a boring white guy from Arkansas with no personality who wants to be Jason Mraz. He was the underdog to Adam Lambert (left), the flamboyant, white, gay guy who won over the hearts of many celebrities and the judges. Third place went to Danny Gokey, a run-of-the-mill white dude with an ok voice, good personality, and who survived so long due to pity points for his recently deceased wife.
The media seemed to rally around Adam, and as Kris Allen was announced as the winner of Season 8, he hung his head in shame disbelief that he had actually won American Idol. He literally didn’t even smile. It was a “WTF?” moment.
This marks two seasons in a row that boring-ass male WASPs from middle America have won Idol. I mean really, who gives two shits about David Cook? What a borefest that guy is.
1:1 odds Perez Hilton blames Adam Lambert’s loss on American religious values. He’ll pull a Kanye and say, “America hates gay people.” - or something to that effect.
I must admit that Kris nailed the acoustic cover of Kanye’s “Heartless”:
MEMORIAL DAY/SUMMER ‘09 PLAYLIST
Memorial day is upon us, and we will all flock to our local lakes, rivers, or beaches to drink a few adult beverages and enjoy (or not enjoy) the presence of those closest to us. Memorial day weekend is the unofficial start to the summer, and a new summer can only mean two things: a 2009 summer playlist and chicks in ‘kinis.
I have put together a mix of newer songs, most of which were released since last summer. It’s a list of primarily upbeat, mainstream tunes that can be enjoyed by all of your friends.
There’s something for everyone: your ‘roid-raged 17-year-old linebacker brother, your bi-sexual liberal arts major cousin, your backwoods aunt and uncle, and your ghetto (or wannabe ghetto) sister-in-law can find pleasure in at least one song on this list.
Lady GaGa is a great choice for this summer. All of her songs are party-worthy and she doesn’t lack universal appeal. GaGa, Kid Cudi, The Lonely Island, and Jupiter Rising are some newcomers for the summer of ‘09. Check out their tunes and add them to your iPod.
And if you’re on a boat this summer and you aren’t listening to “I’m On a Boat”…then you should be revoked of your boating privileges. ‘Cause you’re on a boat motherfucker don’t you ever forget.
Your convenience is my priority, therefore I have posted a player so you can listen to the songs, followed by an iTunes iMix where you can download the songs directly. Enjoy.

NEW KANYE AND I’M STILL BORED
I hope that Kanye West records his music in his own personal, home studio. And I also hope he produces it himself, because there’s no goddamn way that any self-respecting producer would let his ass overuse a vocoder this much. A vocoder is like fudge chocolate: It tastes amazing, but only in small doses.
Plus, I can’t hear another Kanye song without thinking about Gay Fish and Fishdicks. His latest single, “Amazing”, is without-a-doubt one of the worst “HIP HOP” songs I’ve ever heard. I’m sorry for wasting your time. I’ll now sell my computer and give my domain to a writer who deserves it.
CAN’T NOBODY TELL KANYE NOTHIN’
IT AIN’T AMAZIN’ KANYE
And WTF is Young Jeezy doing on this song? Talk about collecting a check.
No commentsKANYE GETS SOUTH PARK TREATMENT
Kanye West was on a roll, then he released shit with an overdose of vocoder and a side of 80s that no one ordered. I love songs like “Champion” and “Gold Digger”, the he starts dressing like he’s living in Miami on the moon in 1982, starts dating a former stripper who’s voluntarily bald, and releases over-produced songs that define vanity.
Two of the most comedic geniuses ever, Matt Parker and Trey Stone, finally gave Kanye the South Park treatment this week - and the term “Gay Fish” was born. A+

RADIOHEAD > MILEY AND KANYE
The story coming out of last month’s Grammy Awards is that British rockers Radiohead refused to meet Miley Cyrus and Kanye West, resulting in Miley threatening to “ruin them” and Kanye refusing to stand for their performance.
“When [Radiohead] peformed at the Grammy’s, I sat my ass down,” said a disgruntled Kanye West during a taping of VH1’s Storytellers.
Miley responded to the diss with her extensive vocabulary and G-rated statement, “I left because I was so upset … Stinkin’ Radiohead! I’m gonna ruin them. I’m gonna tell everybody.” You’re right, Miley. People will be burning their OK Computer CDs in the streets.
When Miley referred to Radiohead as her “Rock Gods” and requested that her manager set up an opportunity to meet the band, front man Thom York rightfully said, “We really don’t do that,” which is one of the best insults I have ever heard. If I wanted to meet someone and they were like, “I don’t really do that”, I think I’d crawl into a hole.
“When Miley grows up, she’ll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement.” Well said, Thom, well said.
Kids Reenact Big Lebowski, Kanye Attacks, TSF Featured on Maxim.com
Big Lebowski Reenactment. Some kids reenacted the Toilet/Peeing on the rug scene from the funniest movie of all time, The Big Lebowski. Totally awesome if you can get passed the non-cussing. Not that cussing is necessarily cool - but “fudge” is not. Regardless, great job kids!
Kanye West is an asshole and always has been. I can stand his music - he has a few good tunes - but I can’t stand the actual person. This video proves this logic. He and his crony attack a paparazzi. If you’re famous and have millions of dollars in the bank, don’t get pissed when someone takes your picture without asking. I’d love to say he’s a waste of space, but I must admit I have 3 or 4 Kanye songs in my iTunes right now. Hopefully he’ll get put in “pound me in the ass prison” and not conjugal visits prison. One can only hope.
That’s So Fetch on Maxim.com! You don’t say!
The dudes over at Maxim have good taste and posted my Top 10 Fictitious Bands of All Time list on the front page (see below) and as an “entertainment link” here. Pretty pretttttyy pretttyyyy cool.
