Certified Dope: Viva La Hova: Coldplay/Jay-Z Mash-up

Yes, another mash-up. I know how most of you probably feel.

After the Grey Album there was an over saturation of mash-up mixtapes featuring all kinds of artists and even a corporate effort from MTV with Linkin Park and none other than Hova himself.

Even though we've heard these verses a million times it seems as though Jay-Z is the most accessible when it comes to these mash-up projects. Honestly, I wouldn't want to hear anyone else. You can name the other great emcees of our time and I'll say I'm not interested. Why? I don't really know. Maybe that's proof that he is the greatest of all time. But I do know why I keep coming back and listening to these mash-up projects (other than the fact it's free)

I do and I think we all get excited for these projects more for the instrumentals than the lyrics. I was truly excited for the Viva La Hova project because I wanted to see how the producers would interpret and manipulate the music of one of the world's greatest bands - and they didn't dissapoint. Case in point, go download this - it's free!

Kick Yourself For Supporting McCain - Seriously

With the mild rumors that the McCain campaign was fueling racism towards Obama and the obvious bigotry displayed at McCain rallies by attendees (I know there's going to be idiots wherever you go, but there has not been an effort my McCain's camp to derail the spread of this crap until recently). I'm not surprised that John McCain played into this clearly bigoted woman's plot to tarnish Obama's name.

Her name is Ashley Todd, and she claimed to have been mugged by black men who carved a "B" into her cheek while telling her she is going to be an Obama supporter whether she likes it or not. She later retracted these statements (thankfully). So what does McCain have to do with this? His campaign released a statement before Todd retracted her story that he and Palin “spoke to the victim and her family after learning about the incident.” Now, if you think the political strategists in the McCain campaign weren't licking their chops when they heard about this story you are in denial or being ignorant. Whether they want to admit it or not, it would be their dream to use racism and fear to beat Obama this November. I'm sure they'd lose no sleep preaching the reasons why America is so great at the same time either.

This upsets me more than any un-american inbred fuck yelling "lynch obama!" at a rally. For this reason: People aren't dumb enough to take the inbred fuck seriously. However, people are dumb enough to hear the story of Ashley Todd and fear for what the country could become if Obama and his anarchist black mugging friends were to run this nation. If she really was mugged and suffered in any way - I believe she deserved it and should've suffered more.

A Girl I Like: Leryn Franco

I've officially dubbed her the best looking female athlete around - and I don't care if she's not all that good at sports. She made it to the Olympics and you didn't.

Leryn Franco hails from Paraguay and is also a model and pageanteer.

Diesel doesn't always make cool clothes, but they are pretty good about their ad campaigns. This one tops the bill.
