Daily Annoyances - October 11, 2008

Annoyance: Bad drivers that insist on talking on the phone while they drive.

This has been a longtime pet peeve of mine but today it got worse. This dumb ass dude was in front of me driving from lane to lane, almost hit a CHILD then slammed on the brakes at a yellow light. It took everything in me [no homo/thatswhatshesaid] not to get out of the car and MURDER him. And that was before I even realized he was on the phone. I don't really have a problem with bad drivers, but when you're bad because you're on the phone...it should be legal for me to kill you.

And to add to that, he was on a big giant ass bluetooth. Bluetooths are about as cool as Karl Kani jeans. No more, please.


Talk to em, Prince.

Kanye West - Love Lockdown Video

It's here.
Finally.
And despite all of the flack Ye's been getting from using AutoTune, I'm feeling it.

After all, he has been using it since College Dropout.

You lose.

Music of the Moment - October 8, 2008

"Rebel for the hell of it/
Hella rich/Never have to sell a brick again/
Must I tell a bitch again/
The bullshit I'm addressin' check I'm on some next level shit/
Never been fucked in the game, I'm celibate/
Rarely out my element/Barely out the ghetto with
One foot and one foot in as intelligent as fellas get/
Listen, let's settle this, be clear I could fall back seven years
And still ain't no one ahead of me..."
-T.I., I'm Illy, Paper Trail

Aight, so I went and copped Paper Trail. Let me first say that it's pretty good. Tip has a lot to say and the beats are insane. He even sounds hungry as shit on the album. My favorite joint [besides Swagga Like Us] on this one so far is I'm Illy. Tip is going mad hard on this joint. That'swhatshesaid. Check it.


[Note: Paper Trail album review coming soon.]

This Weekend in Sports...Orton = MVP...for the day.

First off...Kyle Orton for MVP. Aight, that's a stretch, but he balled yesterday. Career-highs in passing yards (334), completions (34), completion percentage (70.6) and QB rating (121.4). Damn. The 34-7 road win was, by far, the best game of his career but it was against....the Lions. Hey, a fucking win's a win. [Note: Did you SEE Marty Booker's lefty one-handed catch?? Peep It. Definitely one of the best catches of the year.] Other shocking games include Atlanta beating Green Bay @ Lambeau, the Dolphins embarrassing the Bolts at home and Washington knocking off Philly in Philly. But the biggest surprise of the weekend was Tennessee improving to 5-0. It was against the Ravens, and it was without Vince Young. Who saw that coming at the beginning of the season?? [Not you.]

On to college...Oklahoma pwnd murdered Baylor to stay at number 1, Bama squeaked by Kentucky, Mizzou smacked Nebraska, blah blah blah. Not that many upsets this week. The first thing that caught my eye was Vandy over Auburn. Now, I hate Auburn as much as the next guy, but I definitely thought they were going to beat Vanderbilt. But hey, if they knew who was going to win then they wouldn't play the game. [Right, Austin??] And what about them Illini boys owning Michigan at the big House. [Burns don't it??] Oh, and North Carolina beat Connecticut...in football.

In ALDS news...the White Sox fought to win their first game of the series against the Devil Rays to stay alive. Well damn. Next game is tonight at 5 in Chicago. Let's go Sox.

In other news, Candice Parker won Rookie of the Year and MVP...in the same year. Damn.
And the Detroit Shock swept the San Antonio Silver Stars in the WNBA Finals and was the first team in history to do so.
And nobody knew about it...

...or cared.

Curren$y is back. After getting sonned by Wayne and a summer full of mixtapes, the former Sqad member is back with a new joint named Fin.... It's basically the same old Curren$y mixtape with a few stand out joints. My personal favorite is "Who Nose" which uses the slow breakdown from N.E.R.D.'s "Everybody Nose." Really a hot joint. Check it out.

Game 1.....Let's Go!!

The [Chi] Sox take the field against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays today in Game 1 of the ALDS, the day after the Cubs got smacked 7-2 by the Dodgers. Oh well. Let's go Sox.

[Note: Kelsey, you lose.]
