Tony Romo Endorses Interscope

Is it a coincidence that this clip surfaced after the Romo/Simpson break-up? Probably, but because of the timing it gives it a little more kick. Glad Romo has a sense of humor.

Tony Romo: Product Spokesman from Tony Romo

UPDATED: I just added a football tag to the post labels. Football... remember that? It's coming back real soon. Can't wait... I always feel guilty though like I'm rushing the summer. But the fall is where it's at.

Rude Jude and the Cuchini

Last week, Rude Jude had the proprietor of a product called the Cuchini on the air for an interview on SiriusXM's Shade45. Check out the audio where Jude discusses the product and it's relation to a monkey's paw. The callers' reactions are below that. Jude wasn't down with the cover-up. I couldn't stop laughing.




Ummm, more info here.

The Sneaker Keeper

This is really funny stuff if you are the least bit into collecting or appreciating sneaker culture. If you aren't, you may just find this to be an offensive mess of ignorance. In which case you probably don't like my blog anyway. So why are you on it?
But seriously, if you are offended easily and can't see this as a completely non-endorsed-by-me piece of ridiculous humor then just don't watch it. OK, warning is done! Press play.

Hollywood Knights- Turk Song

Just watched this flick again and forgot how funny this song by Newbomb Turk (played by a young Robert Wuhl) is. Cheap laughs for sure, but a classic is a classic.

In case you didn't know, this film, directed by Floyd Mutrux, is about a lame Beverly Hills mid-60's gang trying to save their local hang-out Tubby's. It's basically an American Graffiti rip-off, but it's fun in it's own right. It also features young Fran Drescher, Tony Danza and Michelle Pfiefer.

Bonus- One-Armed Violinist Scene

EM-J

I found this mixtape about 6 months ago while browsing (not illegally downloading) some stuff on datpiff.com. Has some interesting mixes and it obviously takes on a new meaning now... I saw that Dateline special tonight (whoa) and it reminded me about it.

DJ Houseshoes on Shade45

Tomorrow night at 6 p,m. EST on SiriusXM's Shade45 check out a special holiday mix of classic Detroit hip-hop, new and old, from the famous (infamous?) DJ Houseshoes. This isn't your average mix- we are talking deep crate digging from the late '80's to present, strictly Detroit status.
Shoes and I go wayyy back to the St. Andrew's 3 Floors of Fun days in Detroit in the mid 90's and beyond. He was close with J. Dilla and carries the torch for Detroit hip-hop as a DJ worldwide. Above is a photo with myself from '07 when Shoes was on the Dilla Changed My Life tour in Berlin. Cop his "King James Version" on iTunes... and if you dare, follow him @houseshoes on Twitter.
I'll post the audio sometime this weekend I hope. You hope.

"Beautiful" (Video)

Finally... the radio-edit length version of Eminem's "Beautiful" video is here. Filmed at a few Detroit landmarks, including Tiger Stadium, Michigan Central Station (a.k.a. the old train depot) and the Packard Plant on Detroit's Eastside- this video is filled with beauty. It's a tremendous shame what condition these structures have been left to decay into... but they are still beautiful.
Below are a few photos I took on the set.

RIP Tiger Stadium...

"Human Nature" in 7 Minutes- Dwele

Detroit native Dwele shows his talent as he makes a one-man cover of MJ's "Human Nature" in 7 minutes. Beat box to guitar to drum machine to bass guitar to keyboards to vocals. Impressive work.

Em Does Voodoo

I meant to post this a couple of days ago, but never got the chance. Em called in to Shade45's All-Out Show on Thursday afternoon to announce his only full-concert performance in the US this year- New Orleans' Voodoo Music Festival on Halloween Weekend.

Tickets are available now click here.

My People on MJ

A couple of my folks went on the air and on the web about Michael Jackson's untimely passing. Check out Rap Radar's Elliott Wilson b.k.a. YN and Atlanta and Shady Publishing's own B.o.B below.

Gangrene- "Under Siege" (Video)

The Alchemist has a solo album coming out on July 7th... This song is from a different project. Al formed a group with rapper/producer Oh No called Gangrene. Check out the very well done and clever video using clips from the LA riots and some classic OJ materials. Al's wig is crazy.

Yay. It looks like Blogger is embedding the videos correctly again. It ain't my fault.
In that case... Bonus round: Unofficial video for Sublime's "April 29, 1992".

Press Play/Shade45 on A&E

As you probably know, the artist formerly known as M.C. Hammer has a new reality show on A&E. Shade45's own Mick Boogie and Terry Urban had Hammer on their Press Play show on Shade45. Check out the clip below where Mr. Can't Touch This explains how he met one Robert Van Winkle.

Press Play airs every Saturday from 8-10 p.m. EST on Sirius XM's Shade45.

Ultramagnetic MC's on Shade45

Last night on Shade45, the legendary Ultramagnetic MC's from the BX were on Tony Touch's Toca Tuesdays to mark the 20th Anniversary of their debut album. Ultra is one of my favorite groups of all-time, and their album Critical Beatdown is certainly in my Top 20 rap albums list (honestly probably in the Top 10).
Check out the audio of the interview below... Highlights: Kool Keith calls himself the "Kobe Bryant of Rap" that "travels like Bill Walton". Ced Gee claims credit for producing all of BDP's classic (wayyyyyy up in my Top 20) Criminal Minded except for "South Bronx", "9mm" and "Elementary". T.R. Love claims credits for the scratches on "Poetry".
Oh, and don't miss the shout-out to Tuff Crew. Big night for the kid...

What Are You Doing (That's Interesting)?

Ok, I definitely am down with Twitter. It's the closest thing that artists and actors, etc. have to direct interaction with their fans, and as a social tool, messaging system, and electronic communication device it's purely genius. If you say you aren't into it, I'd hazard to guess that you haven't really tried. Twitter-haters are lame.
Try opening an account and searching a topic. Where else can you instantly see what a huge community of users are saying about a given subject so quickly? It's really amazing and definitely fascinating on many levels.
Here's what I can't stand though... I know Twitter asks "what are you doing?" But do we really want or need to hear it all? Do we need to know that you are brushing your teeth or walking your dog? Save that stuff for your diary. Most of us really don't care.
Use it to tell us interesting things. Your thoughts. Things you are doing or did that are truly of interest, different, or curious. Send us links to cool shit. But please don't tell us what you ate for breakfast. We don't care.

Check out the video below and see why they announced the tour with a mariachi band. Yes, a mariachi band. Personally, I'd ditch "Bonerville" as a potential tour name, Travis. But that's just me.

TRV$/DJAM @ Weenie Roast

Here is the first few minutes of Travis Barker and DJ AM at the KROQ Weenie Roast this past Saturday in Cali. These guys took the stage last by force and killed it. Pardon the low quality, it was just from my Panasonic Lumix... I wish I had more memory on my card, the Queen finale was crazy.

Cousin Sal Hates Scott Igoe

Believe it or not, preparing Em's appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live takes a ton of work. Countless conference calls and group e-mails amongst Kimmel's team and Em's team, including Em's publicist Dennis Dennehy, Being the tireless pranksters that they are, the Kimmel crew makes life hard on eachother. Below, see the lengths that Igoe, the talent booker for the show, has to go in order to make a simple phone call to Dennehy. If you missed Friday's Eminem appearance, check out Em performing "3 a.m." this Tuesday, 5/19 and again on Friday, 5/22 live from Em's Relapse release event in Detroit.

Eminem- TV Total (Freestyle)

O.k., so this one takes a little explaining unless you are German or for some reason you watch a lot of German TV. German comedian Stefan Raab has a late-night talk show on German television called TV Total. Em has appeared on the show several times, and each time Stefan tries to get Em to do some wacky TV Total style things.
Well yesterday was no exception... Basically, all we were told was that Em was going to do an interview with Stefan for an 8 minute segment, and then he was going to perform "We Made You" live. Simple enough, right? No.
See, Stefan came back to talk to Em before the show and they went over a few topics, then Stefan suggested that him and Em perform a samba style rap. Em, and everyone else in the room thought Stefan was being silly, and didn't take him seriously. Well, he was serious.
The crazy thing about the set on TV Total is that Stefan's desk and the platform where the guests sit that is attached to it moves from right to left and vice-versa across the stage. After 15 (not 8 mind you) minutes of wacky German humor, Stefan pulled the lever to move the platform to the right. Now, Stefan and Marshall were sitting with the band. Some more indecipherable German banter occurred and the next thing you know- BAM! Samba rap was born

I know that Em wasn't expecting to bust a samba freestyle with Stefan on guitar and chorus vocals, but that's what happened. Off-the-top, crazy ill German samba rap song in English and German. Yes, that just happened.

Kardinal Offishall found this dude Nanny in India. It's interesting to see how some of the words you can tell he knows and some he is just saying phonetically.
