One of my favorite funnymen in cinema on GQ

Good to see Seth finally hit that height in his career where he can get the oh so coveted cover of GQ. Oh to be young, rich and famous..One day..haha. Pick it up at your local newsstand and be on the lookout for what appears to be another Apatow classic in Pineapple Express.

Finally

Viva la vida from Thibault Poix on Vimeo.

This has been my favorite song of 2008 and Hype did this song justice with this video. I'm so happy to see this as a great video and not some let down. enjoy!

Say what, one more time!

While we were doing the podcast yesterday we had an interesting segment on movies and something made me want to watch Pulp Fiction again. I was once again astonished at how good it was and the star power that was in it. Amazing roles by Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis and this film basically revitalized John Travolta's career. Of course Tarantino, one of my favorite directors, was brilliant and made this film truly a piece of art. Speaking of the podcast that is now in the editing process and should be shaven down to about 45 minutes and out tomorrow along with the Put On freestyle that should be up tomorrow as well and as always the mixtape, whose title was named on the first podcast, will be out in 3 weeks tops.

My TV Show of the Week: Friday Night Lights

Barely escaping being canceled this past year FNL is easily one of the best written shows on TV right now. Everyone gave up on it too soon when it began but for anyone whose stuck through with it, you know that this is one of the few gems on TV today that are able to take the basic concept of sports and turn it into something so gripping and relateable. Season 3 begins this fall and you can watch all of season 1 & 2 on NBC.com.

As the sports world turns..

As anyone who has watched at least 5 minutes of ESPN in the past few weeks will tell you, this picture is pretty much what the state of sports looks like right now. Immediately following the NBA Finals and right before the NFL season begins we experience a drought in sports and ESPN has to fill this with whatever they can. This year the posterboy has been none other then previously retired Brett Favre and lately Manny Ramirez. So ESPN has decided to shove them in our face all summer like they are breaking down the upcoming election. Well for the record I will fold under the pressure of ESPN and weigh in on the two situations and my opinions on them.

Manny Ramirez' trade request, then the subsequent trade too the Dodgers was described as..well Manny being Manny. I feel it was Manny being a little to childish about a situation I don't take as being that serious. I don't know too much about the background story of the organization and how their treating Manny but it got to the point where although he is the best hitter on the team he was becoming too much of a distraction to a team that will be a contender come October. Overall he is a better fit on the Dodgers although I felt the Red Sox didn't get enough for him they almost get addition by subtraction which is very reminiscent to the Nomar Garciaparra ordeal a few years ago that led to a World Series.

Brett Favre retired about 4 months ago. The Packers named Aaron Rodgers the starting QB. Brett Favre decided he wanted to play again. The Packers tried to avoid the situation and continue with Rodgers. Brett Favre requested a release. The Packers said no. Brett Favre wants to compete for the job in Green Bay. The Packers told him to become a 14 million dollar backup. Brett Favre said no. The Packers tried to shop him to Tampa Bay and New York. Brett said no. The Packers told him not to report to camp. Brett Favre said no. The Packers flew to Mississippi to offer this Mafia-esque payoff of 20 million dollars to not play. Brett Favre said no. As you can see this does not look like a situation that will be getting better. I predict in the near future Brett signing with one of their rivals, Vikings or Bears, and kills them 2 times this year to make the packers pay.

Jay x Jeezy

Already this song was my single of the year at the halfway point and Hov came and dropped a nice verse. I still like Kanye's better but at least Jay didn't put the T-Pain in his mic..haha. But again Jeezy doesnt have me the least bit excited for his upcoming album, The Recession. I will probably give it a listen but I think Jeezy is losing alot o the hype he's had in years past, all in my humble opinion.

Put On (Remix)- Young Jeezy Feat. Jay-Z

My Favorite Joint from Dont Quit Your Day Job!!!!

This has been my favorite track from one of the most underrated albums of 07. Glad to see he's still making videos for it. When I shoot my first video I want to dance just as cool as Cons did in this..hahaha

Against All Odds: Jesse Owen

In light of the olympics coming up I want to highlight some of the most meaningful moments to me in Olympic history. This specific one was from the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin when Hitler made the comments that his "master" race wouldnt lose to anyone, especially a black man such as Jesse. Well Jesse ended up proving everyone wrong by winning in all his events and setting new world records. This picture right here to me is the definition of humbleness when in harsh times, where everyone in Berlin wanted him to lose, where the guy next to him was doing the nazi salute, he still stood tall in such an act of humility. Jesse won, against all odds.

The Show About Nothing- Episode 1

Langston the Great

A Dream Deffered

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up 

like a raisin in the sun? 

Or fester like a sore-- 

And then run? 

Does it stink like rotten meat? 

Or crust and sugar over-- 

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags 

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

I am on a roll!! Muhahahahaha

I have been feverishly working in the studio working on my secret project and have decided to finish up some songs on the side just so you guys have something to listen to. This here is a freestyle over the American Boy beat and I tried to memorize it, lost track and freestyled the rest so I probably wont use it for anything else meaning you guys can have it for fun. So go ahead download it, listen to it, throw it on your ipod and comment on it as always.

The Spirit

Originally a series of comics written by Will Eisner is a film in the mold of Sin City. With Frank MIller, who co-directed Sin City, set to write and direct it it should have a good feel to it resembling the comic book completely. Starring Sam Jackson and Eva Mendes headlining a great cast it should be a very impressive movie I will be on the lookout for.

PSN: ThePeoplesChamp0

You see my PSN and game of choice so if you ever see me online...good luck. Nobody is seeing me with Georgia or West Virginia.

John Varvatos is killing the game

This mans (well not him thats casey affleck in his work) work is genius and is personally my favorite designer. Voted GQ's designer of the year he has been a staple at many shows and is arguably the most talented American designer in the game right now. He has a boutique in San Francisco I window shop at for the time being but all his work is brilliant. Google John Varvatos fall 08 line if you need anymore evidence.
