New Roots video!

I've been blogging since 2003 and if you've followed my career thus far (which would be kinda sad), you already know that I'll be hitting you over the head with posts when the Legendary Roots are dropping a new album.

Well, here's 75 Bars by the Roots directed by Rik Cordero (who is everywhere these days) from the upcoming album Rising Down instores April 29th:

*If you are offended by the n-word you should probably skip this, lol*



Download the video here.

Also, check out EW's review of the album. I haven't read it, I prefer going in with no expectations just like a movie I'm excited to see.

I get goosebumps everytime i think about it

Arrested Development: The Movie

The blogs are going nuts; check out this FilmSchoolRejects post highlighting the things that MUST be in the movie.

Sick-ass poster courtesy of FilmSchoolRejects.

The careers of Will Arnett and Michael Cera have skyrocketed since the show, and Jason Bateman's has caught a lot of momentum as well so it's cool that they were still willing to do this. But the bigger concern is:

Is Carl Weathers in?

Well, that's a stretch

/sarcasm

According to slashfilm, Taylor Kitsch, better known as bad-ass Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights, has been cast as bad-ass X-men hero Gambit for the upcoming Wolverine movie.

As a fan of Friday Night Lights, I can honestly say that this is a perfect casting decision. His character on FNL is basically Gambit playing high school football... or at least Sawyer from Lost playing high school football, which is damn close to Gambit.

Either way, I have huge hopes for this movie. Take a look at a leaked photo:


P.S. -
Remember to help save Friday Night Lights!

What Would Riggins Do?  Save Friday Night Lights!

Baron Davis and Emmanuelle Chriqui

2 cool-ass people.



She seems smitten. The whole thing feels like a celebrity dating show. Wait... that's not a bad idea.

Check out more of the Framed episodes at Yahoo!.

Pineapple Express Trailer

As is my policy, I haven't watched it.




Seth Rogen has a helluva a streak going, so I just assume this is gonna be hilarious.

Wheel of Failure


One of my favorite shows of all-time is good ol Wheel of Fortune. Fun, relatively simple (compared to it's lead in show) and it even helped me learn my alphabet as a toddler. However, for some folks it's the source of much shame.

Check out the compilation of Wheel mishaps pwnthenet has put together. Funny, funny stuff.

Out of the entire list, the funniest one (and involves the least embarrassment) is below:

Hat Trick


Not only is it my third post today, but it is about We Got It For Cheap, Volume 3 from hipsters and hood residents alike's favorite coke rappers: The Re-Up Gang.

The official DJ Drama jawn isn't out yet as far as I know, but check out the streaming version of the mixtape at Re-Up Gang Records.

Ab Liva and Sandman came pretty strong on this. Philly, yuuuuuuuuuurp!!!

I'm done for the day.

Why people not interested pop culture shouldn't talk about it

Time Magazine rates the Super Bowl Ads.

Here is the ad:



Humorous right?

Here's a snippet of what the clueless guy had to say about it:

Across America, people are falling asleep: sportscasters, singers, valets, factory workers. Until they get a wake-up — and get an apparently uncontrollable head tic — from Pepsi Max, with "ginseng and extra caffeine." Bizarrely, closes with an irritated man yelling "STOP IT!" at two happy head bobbers, as if the commercial itself could not avoid noticing how stupid it is.

Sigh. The "Apparently Uncontrollable Head Tic" happens to be uncontrollably popular with people who were in the United States at any point over the last 10 years.

I'm not even going to waste my time searching for an actual clip of the famous SNL skit that was made into a major motion picture.

He does at least mention that in an update to his comments:

Update: The man at the end of the ad, readers point out, is Chris Kattan, and the head-bob a reference to A Night at the Roxbury. Not that I especially wanted to relive that movie.

I should have stopped reading the article right there because every time he attempted humor at that point it was just awkward. Why Time found this guy competent enough to review Super Bowl ads, when he apparently doesn't bother to be alive over the last decade, is confusing to me.

Yes We Can

... I think.

Saw this on The Message earlier today.

TONS of celebrity cameos/performances in this video that features Barack Obama. It's actually not a bad song, although it's mad cheesy.
