Holy Shit, Jarvis Landry.

En route to a thrilling 20-13 win over Arkansas, sophomore wide receiver Jarvis Landry came up with arguably the catch of the year.
Holy shit.

And although all hope seems lost, I'm still crossing my fingers for the Sugar Bowl and not the god-forsaken Capital One Bowl.

26.

Damn. I'm old. But blessed, very blessed.
Here's to 26 more.

Hey, it's a weekday. I might not even drink that much today....
...yeah right.

J. Cole - Miss America [MP3 + Download]

New Cole. Right on time for the birthday, too. Apparently, this is the first single from the upcoming album, Born Sinner, due January 28th.

LSU vs. Bama 2012 - Part 2 [...Kind of]

I'm ready for this.

My parents are ready for this.

My Grandparents [really should get] ready for this.

The biggest game of the 2012 College Football season is about 30 hours away and I'm way too dialed in. My Tigers have the unique opportunity to get back in the National Championship hunt all while avenging last year's loss and inflicting pain on bitter rival Alabama. Whew. The last time I was this hype over a sporting event it was LSU vs. Bama 2012 Pt. 1. And unfortunately, we all know how that turned out.

Just in case any LSU fans [and you Alabama fans—I know you're out there] need an extra motivational boost, just check the video below. Man.

Tigers. Please don't kill my vibe.

Earl Sweatshirt - Chum [MP3 + Video]

New Sweatshirt. And it couldn’t be better timing. Chum reveals a different side of Earl as he's reflecting on major life events and touching on returning to music while barely taking pauses to breathe. The lyrics are complex yet simple and quite introspective. But any long-time Earl Sweatshirt/Odd Future follower can tell you those are staples of Earl’s music. The Christian Rich beat doesn't hurt, either. Take a listen. I’m actually pretty excited to hear what’s up next for Doris.

A$AP Rocky - Fuckin' Problem feat. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar [MP3+ Download]

A$AP. Back out of nowhere with a new track with pretty much all of rap's heavy hitters. Check out Fuckin Problem with 2 Chainz, Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Oh, and by the way, Kendrick's new album.....sick.

Vince Staples & Michael Uzowuru - Winter In Prague

Back after a long[er than normal] hiatus, and for good reason. Vince Staples and producer Michael Uzowuru released the long-awaited mixtape Winter In Prague yesterday. And timing couldn't have been better. I'm not sure what it is, but these two have made dope music together for awhile and this mixtape keeps the trend going. Check out the download links for the tape as well as Mike's instrumentals for the tape. Unh.

Van She - Changes [MP3 + Download]

Van She is one of many bands that I didn't start listening to until a few years after they reached the peak of their popularity. I almost loafed. If it wasn't for me checking samples on Crystal Castles' first album, I probably would've never found em. Funny how samples work. It turns out that Crystal Castles sampled Van She on one of my favorite songs of theirs, Vanished. [Get it...Van She...Vanished?...alright.] You have to listen closely to get the sample, but it's there.

Anyway, the point of all this is to show you the song Changes which is my favorite track off of Van She's debut album V. It even has a little bit of a Phoenix-y sound around the hook. Check it out.
Van She - Changes

Also check out the song that started it all, Sex City.

Oh man.

I can't wait.

Trillectro Is Coming.

What is Trillectro?

By now, you should definitely know but just in case you don't, I'll let Modi, Quinn and Marcel tell you:

"the first music festival in the district of its kind, trillectro is our way of bridging the gap between hip-hop and electronic music. on august 11, 2012, trillectro will unite music enthusiasts at DC's brand new HALF STREET FAIRGROUNDS (outside nationals park! GO NATS!) for an unforgettable day of incredible performances from some of the best emerging local and national artists.

modeled after brooklyn's dekalb market, this unique and spacious venue reuses salvaged shipping containers to surround a main stage, bar areas, tents and gaming space for a dynamic retail and entertainment experience. trillectro will be the first event of this size and nature to take place at the HALF STREET FAIRGROUNDS."

Here's a fly-through look at the venue: Half Street Fairgrounds



With all that being said, take that trip down/over/up to DC this weekend and make this happen.


[Note: And tickets are HALF OFF on LivingSocial. Excuses are becoming minimal.]

Rich Kids of Instagram

All of our lives suck. This is proof.

Beer Olympics. Possibly My Best Decision Ever.

This past weekend I took part in arguably the greatest event of my life: The 2012 Arlington [VA] Beer Olympics.

I represented with @BolicKB, @DougCrooze and Young MJ as Team Great Britain. We entered the contest with high hopes and ended up bringing home the Gold. Pictures of [most of] the events follow, however they pretty much end at Event Three....because of all the beer.


I'm definitely running this event back, even if the actual Olympics are over.

Double Reppin. Team GB.

Event Two: Flip Cup. http://instagram.com/p/N6798xrHal/

Event Four: Dizzy Bat. [10x more difficult than you'd think] http://instagram.com/p/N7AzP6LHeh/
THE GOLD. http://instagram.com/p/N7otWXLHSO/

If you're down for Beer Olympics '12 Pt. 2, let me know.

Back. Again.

Kanye West feat. Pusha-T - New God Flow [MP3 + Download]

Man, oh man. Kanye keeps upping the ante for Cruel Summer. Fresh off the BET Awards, this new track New God Flow with Pusha-T is no exception. It dropped yesterday and I...um...passed out before I could get this post out. I'm old...long story. Check it out though.

Tony Castles - Heart in the Pipes (Kauf Remix) [mp3 + Download]

OK, so I don't know much about the band Tony Castles but I do know that this Heart in the Pipes Remix by Kauf GOES. I haven't even heard the original, nor do I want to. Check this out and let me know what you think:

[Note: Upon further review, the original is actually quite trill.]

Back. Hopefully For Good.

A lot has changed since I last posted:

• Lebron got a ring....finally, 
• I've finished 4 of 5 seasons of the greatest show in the history of the world, Friday Night Lights [Full post coming soon] and
• My sister Alexis ripped her pants when she was raging too hard here in DC. [Love you, Lex!] 

All in all, the summer has started off with a bang and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.

Vince Staples - twitch. [Prod. by Michael Uzowuru]

It seems I've become a pretty big Vince Staples fan. More specifically, it seems as though I've become a pretty big Vince Staples and Michael Uzowuru fan. Something about Vince over Mike's beats just works. Check out their latest contribution to the innanet music universe, twitch.

Kanye Knew.

He always knew.
He was just waiting for everyone else to find out.

Kate Upton. I Love This Woman.

Is there any reason not to? At this point, this video is kind of old but I'm sure I won't get any complaints.



Oh, and there's a rebuttal:

Not mad. Not mad at all.

Kanye West - Lost In the World [Video]

Two years after dropping the [should’ve been] Grammy-winning album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West—along with director fashion filmmaker Ruth Hogben and photographer Nick Knight—has released visuals for Lost In the World. Great song, epic video. Very Kanye-esque and well worth the wait. Check it out.

Yea, we need more music videos and less photos Kim Kardashian in Jordans.

But still photos of Kim Kardashian.

Dark Knight Rises [Trailer #3]

Dark Knight Rises, Ted, Prometheus, The Bourne Leagacy, Men In Black 3 [major stretch], Total Recall and G.I. Joe 2. And I'm sure I missed a couple. It's gonna be a wild ass movie summer.

S3 = Sampson Sports Struggle.

2012 has been a very trying year for literally every one of my sports teams. I really can't put into words. Trust me, I tried. Life as a Sampson shouldn't be so tough.

This Weekend. Whoa.

Blog Is Back/Mary J. Blige x Burger King Parody

Samp is back. Chicken stories told through rap. Blog hiatuses are real but thanks to the God-awful Mary J. Blige x Burger King ad I'm back with an amazing parody of an already terrible video. Gotta love the innanets. Gotta hate post-"Not Gon' Cry" Mary J. Blige. Samp's back.

A Powerful Message From the Chris Rock Show

Alright, that's a bit of a stretch. But this video is funny nonetheless. I miss this show like crazy and I'm not sure why I didn't include this clip the last time I wrote about the Chris Rock Show. In my opinion, it's a very close second to Chappelle's Show for greatest sketch comedy show not named Saturday Night Live. I dare you not to laugh.
Quite possibly the funniest part about all of this is the fact that Jinx might actually know the kid from this video. Yes, this kid:
Can't make this shit up.
