DUNK YOU VERY MUCH!

This may be one of the craziest things I've ever seen. A Phoenix Suns' halftime performer dunks HIMSELF. Just watch.

NIKE "2011 BLACK HISTORY MONTH"

Nike is releasing a collection of shoes for Black History Month. Four shoes will be released. Of those four, the Jordan 3s get the BHM treatment. Pretty cool looking if you ask me. They will be dropping on the 26th of February. Check out Nice Kicks for details on the other three shoes.

HIS AIRNESS X GQ

Spotted at Slang Rap Democracy. Jordan graces the February '11 cover of GQ Magazine's '25 Coolest Athletes of All Time issue. Pretty dope cover. Peep the "Hare Jordan" 7s Mike is rockin. Only the best.

THE WHITE RAPPER SHOW EPISODE

"The White Rapper Show" episode is finally here. In it, Stubbs and I discuss why I hate white rappers, the gimmick of a white MC, and two things needed to succeed as a white wordsmith. Also, a bunch of good music from some of our favorite white boys.

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY

Let's take it back to '97 with Camp Lo's 'Luchini.' This song is one of my favorites of all time. Camp Lo just gets the job done. Enjoy.

WHITE PEOPLE SHOULDN'T RAP!!

While we prep for our upcoming "White Rapper Show" episode, I stumbled upon white people rapping poorly via @itsthereal's Twitter page. Should provide for a good chuckle or two. Definitely a few 'SMH's.'

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Pure comedy! I'll let the video explain. Just watch.

LOVING YOU NO MORE - DIDDY DIRTY MONEY (VIDEO)

Stubbs sent me two URGENT texts to post this. So here you go. The Drake assisted single of Diddy and the Crew's album Last Train(wreck) to Paris. Enjoy.

Start It Up: Race Riot

Start It Up is finally back with another episode. This time around Stubbs and I discuss why black men can't be beat, how "when he get on he gone leave yo' ass for a white girl," and the picture that BET paints. Grab and seat and get your listen on.

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY

This was my JAM back in the day! This song went dumb hard. Thought I'd throw it up here... LIKE WHOA!

THE TRANSPORTER - RICK ROSS

This song dropped last week. Finally got around to listening to it. Rozay always puts together epic tracks. Maybach Music!!

Yo' Side of the Beeddd

Spotted this a while ago. A truly hilarious Trey Songz impersonation.

Drake Explains Favorite Verse

Drake gives his take on his favorite verse, which is from 'The Calm' off So Far Gone. A personal favorite of mine. Below is the song and a download link.

Ice Cream Anyone?

I used to like Gucci. Then I saw this. Pure ignorance. I figured I'd make the picture big enough so everyone can get a good look at this fool's face. "SMH" doesn't quite do what I'm thinking justice.

"IT'S FAKE!"

The It's the Real guys made a spoof of this video that hit the internet last week. Pure comedy. The original is below. Also, check out the rest of their stuff at itsthereal.com or on Twitter at @itsthereal. Shout out to illroots.com. 

JAY-Z & KANYE WEST - H.A.M.

As promised, at 12:00am on 1/11/11, Hov and 'Ye dropped their first single off Watch the Throne. Spotted at illroots.com. Enjoy!

Take Care of Me

It's only appropriate that on a snowy day like today you spend it cuddled up with your significant other. After a fantastic weekend with the woman I love, I sure wish I was there now instead of updating this dang blog. And I digress.

This joint is one of the best songs off an already stacked album. The-Dream is a hitmaker and this song only further proves that point. Without further ado, this is for the lady in my life and for all those who think they know a lil' something about love.

While driving through a blizzard this morning one of my favorite songs off Kanye's latest, MBDTF, popped in my head. After listening, it occurred to me that Kanye has three different songs referencing "lights" on each of his last three albums (all of which are dope, in case you haven't heard). Below are said songs ("Flashing Lights" deserved visuals). Listen. Enjoy. Get lost in the Lights.

"Flashing Lights"

"Streetlights"


"All of the Lights"

PAC DIV - YOUR FUCKING SONG

A new joint from a group that's been doing their thing for a while now. Pac Div definitely has their own unique style and sound and if you like what you hear you should most certainly check out the "Good Music" page and download their last two mixtapes Church League Champions and Don't Mention It. Their latest project, Mania!, is on the way.

KANYE WEST & JAY-Z - H.A.M (Artwork)

The first single off 'Ye and Hov's collaborative project, Watch the Throne, is set to drop Tuesday. Expect nothing but pure dopeness. Shouts to illroots.com.

Fall for Your Type (Same Mistakes)

This song has been stuck in my head since I woke up this morning. Drake actually wrote this song for Jamie Foxx, which is now blowing up the airways. While Jamie Foxx's version is still dope, being a Drake stan I can't help but favor the Drake version. Like my man Stubbs said, "there hasn't been a song that Drake's been on that he hasn't killed."

"I put the team on my back doe!"

For all you Madden fanatics. This is hilarious. "Early doe!"

Rick Ross - Made Men (ft. Drake)

This track dropped a couple days ago. Off Ross' forthcoming LP, God Forgives, I Don't. It's a must listen. Rozay and Drizzy both murder this.

KANYE WEST - MONSTER (MUPPET REEEEMIIIXXXX)

Spotted this on illroots.com as well as Kanye's twitter. The Muppets decided to remix Ye's "Monster" track off MBDTF. The video is dope, to say the least. RAAWWWRRRRR!!!!
