LOL Chelsea Handler

2010-05-26T23:26:00.001-07:00

"At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey-type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The BOUNCER."
-Chelsea Handler

2010-05-26T22:57:00.000-07:00

Dope cover

Someone's been watching too many Trey Songz videos

2010-05-25T00:33:00.000-07:00

Chris Brown looks like he's trying too hard.
Ever since the Rihanna episode, he is some sort of hard core gangsta sex addict? Pfff...
What happened to "hearts all over the world tonight?" Chris Brown?

Anywho...steamy video. Still sucks to me; he's trying to be Usher & Trey combined in this one.

Take a close look...

2010-05-25T00:12:00.000-07:00

Now if ur on a laptop, tilt the entire thing to the left...

Cookies & Applejuice was a party we threw back in November '09. It was an idea myself and Dom had after jammin out to some DIPSET in the car and brainstorming what theme we were going to go with for our next party at (the now defunct) Poleng Lounge. Like a lightbulb in our heads, we knew a DIPSET party would be an absolute hit because who DOESN'T LIKE HARLEM'S FAVORITE CREW?! The hipsters and the gangstas can definitely share a common bond...

6 months later, here we are reviving what was such a fun night. COOKIES & APPLEJUICE PART 2! This Friday at Azul SF.

now...Go getcha wet wipes!

PREMIER'S LETTER TO GURU

2010-04-21T15:17:00.000-07:00

IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THE DEATH OF A MAN WHO I WILL CONTINUE TO CALL MY BROTHER, KEITH ELAM, BETTER KNOWN AS GURU OF THE LEGENDARY GANG STARR.

FROM 1988-2004, WE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH SUCCESS TOGETHER THAT WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESSES INDEPENDENTLY AND GIVE EACH OTHER WHAT GURU CALLED “CREATIVE SPACE”, BEFORE PLANNING TO REUNITE FOR OUR 7TH LP WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT. TRAGICALLY, WE WILL NEVER REACH THAT DAY.

I’VE BEEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON A LETTER SPEAKING ILL OF ME WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY WRITTEN BY GURU IN HIS DYING DAYS. ALL I WILL SAY ABOUT IT IS THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE BUILT A HIP HOP LEGACY TOGETHER, AND NO ONE CAN RE-WRITE HISTORY OR TAKE AWAY MY LOVE FOR HIM. ONE THING I WOULD NEVER DO IS PLAY AROUND WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIFE.

I WILL CELEBRATE GURU’S LIFE… I WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY… I WILL GRIEVE WITH THE ELAM FAMILY OVER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH… I WILL REMEMBER THE GANG STARR FOUNDATION AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF GANG STARR WHO CAME BEFORE ME – WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER… MOSTLY, I WILL CHERISH EVERYTHING WE CREATED TOGETHER AS GANG STARR, FOREVER. I’M GONNA MISS HEARING HIS SIGNATURE MONOTONE VOICE WHEN HE WALKS IN THE ROOM, BUT THE SONGS WILL ALWAYS BRING IT BACK TO ME….HIS RHYME FLOWS WERE INSANE, AND I WILL NEVER REMOVE HIM FROM MY HEART AND SOUL…….REST IN PEACE TO THE MAN WHO FELT “SATISFACTION FROM THE STREET CROWD REACTION” … I LOVE YOU GOO…….DJ PREMIER

Dope song, but even doper when SIR TIPP remixed it.

Drake & The Dream's song is dope...its about writing a song for a bad ass chick to get ready to and lettin her know how sexy she is, but not being overbearing and talkin bout how he gon take her home; nope, just wanna let oh girl know how BAD she is, thats it. She shuts shit down. Dope. Need more songs for the ladies like this!
Peep...

"...heard that you’re a student working weekends in the city
trying to take you out girl, hope you're not too busy
and if there’s nothing wrong, got this little song
for you to get ready to
put those fucking heels on and work it girl
let that mirror show you what you’re doing
put that fucking dress on and work it kind of vicious
like somebody’s taking pictures

shut it down down down
you would shut it down down down
you’d be the baddest girl around round round
and they notice they notice
you would shut it down down down
you’d be the baddest girl around round round
and they notice they notice
you would shut it, hey
these girls ain’t got nothing on you nothing on you"
