Drake vs Boobs

No Comments
Posted Byadmin

I’ve been championing Drake as a dope lyricist and songmaker since last summer. This it not to say that I am any sort of authority as I am clearly a Johnny-arrive-lately but what I am saying is that people call him overrated and poppy and such – I disagree. Dude can rap.

That said…why is Heartbreak Drake so startled by being flashed by an overzealous female fan?

I won’t comment on what he does further in the video.

Even so I anticipate “Thank Me Later.”

Good catch on staying in the verse after the impromptu “OH MY GOD!”

Back to the Future Proposal. Please vote for us at the Ultimate Proposal Contest! http://bit.ly/bt8EII from Corey Goldfeder on Vimeo.

Some dude edited “Back to the Future” rented out a movie theater for them to show it and used it to propose to his wife.

I love all things “Back to the Future” and I hope she said yes or at least was nice enough to say yes in public.

Tall Grande or Venti

Once upon a time I had this job and there was this guy that ran the sales floor named Dave.

Dave is a real go-getter. Type A personality type dude.

Dave is also a finisher, the type of guy that will have an idea and actually follow through with it.

“Tall, Grande, or Venti”  is one of Dave’s brilliant ideas outside of the magic he works in sales.

I thought Joell Ortiz’s flip of Beamer, Benz, or Bentley into “Nissan, Honda, Chevy” was brilliant.

However this right here takes the Starbucks Marble Pound Cake.

Make sure you show somebody.

Rob Liefield – You Suck

I don’t particularly care that the post I’m about to share with you is from 2007 because if you’re anything like me you haven’t had the time to finish the internet and it’s just one of the best things I’ve ever read.

When I was younger I used to read a lot of comic books. My friend Kofi and I used to draw comic books as well, guest penciling each other’s universes sometimes. We were really into Image comics and even at 12 we knew there was something not quite right with the comics that Rob Liefeld drew. I was never big on any of his Image titles, esp not Youngblood. I always thought his comics were just…mindless violence. Shouts out to Jim Lee he was always my favorite. Kofi was big on Todd McFarlane. Anyway, the homey DJ Hyphen posted this link of these cats at ProgressiveBoink.com clowning Rob Liefeld very heavy on Twitter and I thoroughly enjoyed the read so I figured I’d share it with y’all.

Here’s an excerpt from what you are about to get yourself into:


I’m not an expert on anthropomorphism and I’m the last person to consult when it comes to sexualizing an animal lady, but is the tail supposed to come out of the middle of the butt cheek like that?

And while we’re at it, hey Rob, speed lines are supposed to suggest motion, so you only have to draw them going in the direction of whatever you want to look like it’s moving. You don’t need to draw perpendicular lines across them. Your characters aren’t shitting out ladders when they jump.

Without further ado enjoy: The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld drawings.
p.s. You don’t have to be a nerd to appreciate it you just gotta love watching somebody get ethered

Canibus and the Lion

1 Comment
Posted Byadmin

There’s a lot of stories about Canibus that have fueled his mystique over the years. There’s the one about him battling several members of Wutang and sonning 10 of them before Killah Priest came through and shut it down. There’s one about him doing shows painted silver. And then there’s the one about him being on Smookin’ Groves performing “2nd Round Knockout” with a lion onstage.

I just found it on Youtube. Check out how hugs the lion while he raps.

How much does it even cost to rent a lion?

“I took a lion on tour with me, made him respect authority / smacked him in the head for trying to roar at me”. – Canibus

That dude crazy.
