such a dickhead...

The Best Player in the League, huh.
Before you watch this, watch Dwight Howard's half court shot 4 posts dowm.
Ok, now you're ready. Please excuse his arrogance.

i need a new phone bad.

I'm not even playing. My phone sucks. This jont is so terrible right now. I mean, its always been some s**t but damn this thing sucks. I can't even do the essentials on this busted piece of white trash (the phone is white, and its trash). Oh well, no use crying about it.

This song popped into my head about two weeks ago and I meant to post it but forgot. I remember three summers ago my mom went out of town on a business trip and I went to pick her up from the airport. After we talked about her trip I turned the radio up and this was on a mix CD I made and had been playing the whole time. She made me turn it off after the first 15 seconds or so.
Plus, I like Method Man. You love D'angelo.
Why not?

"MM HH"

on repeat.

Last week my boy Justin told me to play this song at a small gathering we were at.
I've been playing it non stop ever since.
Its my "every mood" music so I always feel like hearing it.
Don't run off thinking this is new, by the way. I think it's from '07. I'm just really late.

MGMT - Electric Feel


I love the song and the whole vibe but these guys are f**kin weird. I don't know what their trippin on but I guess that's okay if it works for them.

this is dedicated...

...to you.
No, not you. But YOU.

so?.... i can do that.

I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I watched this over and over maybe 75 times last night. Listen to when it hits the net.

better late than never...

That's all I really need to say, now isn't it?

craziness...

Alright, so I'm texting my lady back and forth sleep somehow becomes the topic of discussion... kind of. I have this thing where depending on where I'm sleeping and what time I go to bed, I'll wake up in the middle of the night and go get something to eat and/or drink. I'll take a couple minutes to consume whatever it was that I found then I'll go back to sleep. Essentially its a midnight snack only my craving usually comes at around 3 or 4 in the morning.

Anyway, last night I woke up as usual and went to the kitchen to do some exploring. I ended up settling for some tortilla chips, a raisin bagel, and a cup of apple juice. Crucial. I was right back asleep in a matter of seconds. THIS IS WHERE S**T GETS WEIRD.

When I fell back asleep I had the strangest dream I've had in a while. For those of you that know me... well, let me not even go there. All I'm gonna say is that I've dealt with some crazy women in my life who have done some crazy shit. The queen pen of them all, lets call her Keri (looked around my room and saw the lotion bottle), is the one who decides to invade dream and make a guest appearance. Great. Trust me when I say that if Keri is in my dream, its about to be some wild s**t.

So it starts with us in the super market. Mind you, we don't even speak anymore so what I'm doing in a super market with this jont, I don't know. So we're walking down the aisles, picking up things that we needed. I think she needed a ride to the super market and I needed to go anyway so I picked her up. Some s** happened while we were shopping but I can't remember what it was right now. Hopefully it'll come to me later. But yeah, we get to the cashier and this midget couple tries to just cut right in front of us. Now anyone with an elementary school education or higher knows that cutting is not a matter to be taken lightly, so I say "Excuse me, but we were next," to which they replied "So the f**k what? We have like 4 things and you have a whole cart full of s**t. Just Chill." Keri is insane and will smack your senile grandmother for calling her the wrong by the name, so of course she starts to go off to these two little people in the middle of the store and I have to calm her down, even though in my mind I'm wishing I never brought her ass in the first place. So I tell them "F**k it. Just go" and out of nowhere, these two women who were behind us with their groceries the whole time decide it'd be smart to comment on the whole thing. So their sassin us and saying s**t and we're tellin them its none of their business so they can shut the f**k up and its all very interesting. Even when we're paying for our stuff, they're still talking. Right before we leave I turn to say something smart and realize that one of the women is a stone cold MILF. And I got a thing for older women. My smart comment some how turns into straight charm and we're flirting back and forth. Keri sees this and gets pissed, and she was already mad to begin with. She gets way out of line (kinda like when we were together) and starts yelling at me. So we get outside and I tell to calm down or I'll leave her in front of the super market with her s**t and call her a cab. She replies "F**k you. I don't need you" so I take her bags out and start walking the cart to my car. Out of nowhere, this b**ch runs past me with like 10 cans of Campbells soup and starts throwing them at my car while screaming that she hates me at the top of her lungs. My first thought was to choke the s**t out of her but instead I called the police and lit a Black and Mild.

She hates that I smoke.

so ummmm...

Kanye's back. Not Autotune Kanye. "Mayonnaise color Benz, I push Miracle Whips" Kanye. It makes me so happy to see to because I personally believe that 808s and Heartbreak was a great album in all aspects. And I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. But at the same time, I was really hoping that was his coping mechanism for his breakup with shorty (yes, guys need to cope sometimes too), and that he'd move on and go back to being his regular self... which, as we all know, is far from regular.

But yeah. Watch the video and listen to Kanye go in at the end. Quite refreshing if I may say so myself.

YOOUUUUU MAAAAAAADDDDD!

I don't know what you guys saw but that looked like it was all ball to me.

that's just how we do.

Tonight's bowling night with the fam. F**k winning. My primary objective is to not completely ruin another pair of jeans.


But I am gonna win though. Undefeated tonight.

like to hear it, here it go.

This might be my favorite video out right now. Makes me wanna play the mixtape non stop again like I did a couple months ago. There's were so many renditions and remixes to this song but nothing is touching the original, in my own opinion. I'm sorry to any fans but the "Welcome to Heartbreak" video that I posted yesterday was straight poop. In Ms. Gideon's words "Now this n**ga's just makin videos just to make em", to which I replied "It looks like a film student made it." This one is cool with me, though. No complaints over here.

Kid Cudi - Day N Night


I got blasted by my boys on Twitter the other day because I was so hype about information that I was extremely late finding out, but if you haven't heard, Kid Cudi got tazered by Arizona police during all star weekend. He had a performance at a Reebok party where he was scheduled to perform, and before he went on stage he got into a scuffle with some Reebok corporate folk because he refused to take off his Jordans and put on their bumb ass kicks that they wanted him to wear. My n**ga.

Like my Grandpa always says: "If you believe in something, you have to be willing to get tazered in your nuts for it."

if you're into that sort of thing.

When I was in high school I had a phase where I listened to a lot of screw music. Come to think of it, that was also the period of my life when I was smoking more ganja than your favorite rasta. Not sure if the two are related but I just thought I'd mention it. lol. I listened to snippets of a couple tracks after I downloaded it but I'm not really that into chopped and screwed s**t anymore. Haven't been for a while. Coincidentally, I don't chief anymore. Again. Don't know if the two are related. I'm just saying. But hopefully I have a couple Drake fans that visit the site and you're willing to give it a shot. So here it is...

Kanye West - Welcome to Heartbreak


...that jont was "okay" i guess.

so sleepy.

It's 3 o'clock in the morning and I was just about to go to sleep.
I just texted number 5 in my speed dial "Goodnight." And I had absolutely no intention of writing another blog post.
That was until I saw this...

As some of you may know, Pusha T and Malice of the Clipse stopped bangin with Pharrell a while back and consequently ended up leaving his StarTrak label. The fact that the squabble was remained unsettled for a couple years afterwards has been mentioned in a couple verses by the Clipse here and there.
I don't know about you but it makes me so happy to see them in the studio together again. I think I just felt a single tear just fall from my eye.

I'm sorry but I gotta do it... For old time's sake.

street lights.

I'm more than likely gonna be in trouble for this one...

must've slipped my mind.

I just realized that I never posted the live recording of Wale's show at Highline Ballroom.
That was such an insane/spur-of-the-moment mission and it was so worth it.
Aside from the fact we missed Kid Cudi's entire set.
Its all good, though.

just me and my b**ch.

This is hilarious. Good job AZ.

how did this happen.

I don't even want to talk about it for real.
I tried so hard to say away from this one and somehow it pulled me in.
I'm so weak.

who's asking?

Those of you who have facebook have probably seen the "25 things about yourself" notes that have been going around. I've only read one of them and thought it was pretty cool for what it was. I wasn't really that impressed though. Miss Aden asked me to do one and after I said yes just to make her happy, she continued to remind throughout the rest of the day. So here it is.

(click the image)

that's how you feel?

Now you see me...

and now you don't.

OOHHHHH SHHHIIIITTTT!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONOVAN YOUNG!!!!

HOLY S**T!!!!

CAN YOU SAY WORTH THE WAIT?!!!!!

finally.

I was gonna be pissed if he didn't post it soon.
Hittin refresh on his blog 5,000 times was not the move.

new music friday.

Wait... nevermind. It's Thursday.
I feel like it's so appropriate for the pre-album mixtape to be released today seeing as how I was just talking about how underrated of a rapper Jada is. Not a believer yet? Listen to the mixtape.
Drake, we're getting impatient over here...

Blog's are cool and everything, but isn't it so much better when you hear it from the horse's mouth?

who ate all the snacks...

This is Ralph Lauren's video campaign for their new spring/summer collection. Its funny that I ran into this today because over the weekend I was on a couple different fashion sites looking for some new Ralph Lauren s**t to post, and I couldn't really find anything that stood out to me...


Well, that and the fact that exactly three weeks ago, in a moment of spontaneity, I got "Carpe Diem" tattooed across my stomach. Random.

not bad meaning bad...

But bad meaning good.
Look at this long ass bounce pass by Allen Iverson.
Can my man get a ring? Please.

f**k it, right?

Alright, so I've always really liked this video and I'm almost positive that at least 75% of KTH's readers (that's about 7 1/2 people) can recite the whole song word for word. I think I was in the 7th or 8th grade when I first saw this video so you can imagine how great of an appreciation I had for it. Jadakiss is one of the most underrated rappers out. He gets major play when he first comes out with something new, but then he's quickly forgotten about. Which reminds me... who do I have to kill to get a new Fabolous album? Anyway...

The reason why this post has this title is because I've been wanting to post this UNCENSOREDvideo for a while now, but I always had my readers in mind and didn't want to offend anyone. But after reading a post that I came across on a KTH reader's blog, I'm just doing it. Thanks Meesh.

This video is NSFW! Alright?! I warned you...
Enjoy!

half-way crooks.

If you watch The Wire then click on the image below and read the post. Its from one of my favorite blog sites and kinda funny if you know anything about hip hop or The Wire. I only know a little about both. lol.

uh oh... i might be in love.

happy monday!

I'm extremely excited you write this post for a couple different reasons.

- Asher Roth is one of the only "on the rise" artists that I'm excited about and actually listen to.
- As you can see in the picture below, he wore a University of Maryland hoodie and shorts at last years MtvU Woodie Awards a couple months ago.
- The video for "I Love College" is finally out and it reminds me of those good AnmlHse moments I was telling you about (see: You and me baby...).

I almost forgot. Another reason why this post excites me: Asher stopped by the Undercrown office a couple weeks ago which where my boys Dizzy, G, and Justin work. The tee he has on in the video that says college on it is from there. Sick.

heeeeelllllllllloooooooo...

I went drunk bowling with Aden this past Friday. Haven't bowled in a couple years so it was extra fun. For some reason I've always gotten really competitive when I bowl, and it was kind of a buzz kill getting ROCKED by Aden 4 out of 5 games. But its all good. We'll play again and I promise she wont win a single game. Mark my words (whatever that means).

Here are some flicks from the evening.

Yes girl. Grab those balls. lol.

On my third or fourth bowl of the night I ripped the ever loving s**t out of my favorite pair of jeans. Listen to what I'm saying. MY FAVORITE PAIR!
I'm so incomplete right now.

oh really?

I happened to be flipping through channels a couple minutes ago while Teen Wolf was on commercial and I saw this show on CNBC and they were talking about families in California that grow herb in their yards. Huh? Then they start talking about a part of Oakland called Oaksterdam where they sell pot in coffee shops and a school that gives weekend classes on pot's history and the proper ways to grow it and sell it. and this shit is legal. So like I said... Huh?!

wheelchair jimmy.

Me: You know those songs you hate the first time you hear it, then you start to like it a lot...
Aden: Yeah, of course.
Me: Wait, I wasn't done. And then you like it so much that you overplay it until you're kind of sick of it and you never wanna hear it again?
Aden: Ummm... no.
Me: Oh... well, I feel like this is about to be one of those songs for me.

And this is old but I never posted it a long time ago like I was supposed to.

Drake - Say What's Real

*I also heard through the blog grapevine that his new mixtape So Far Gone might be dropping this week. Keep your fingers crossed.

personal opinion.

Hello. My name is Michael Phelps. I'm 23 years old, a Cancer, and I'm from Baltimore Maryland. I enjoy eating, f**king, and listening to Lil' Wayne. Not necessarily in that order and sometimes all at once just because I can. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that I've won 14 Olympic gold medals, the most held by any olympian, the first six I won when I was 19, and I hold 7 world records in swimming.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that based on what I've accomplished so far, if I choose to smoke some weed, you need to leave me the F alone or get nunchucked by one of my many Olympic medals.
Peace, b**ch.


PS - Kellogg's can lick the chlorine off my balls. Word son.

i feel like i've seen you somewhere before...

I'll admit, I was completely unaware that Christina Milian was still relevant. Where are her checks coming from these days?
But then again, as long as she looks like this, I really don't care what she's doing (or not doing).

am i high?

Listen up! If you're like me then you dont watch the majority of the videos that people put on their blogs. I'm begging you! For the sake of entertainment, please watch this one. Way funnier than chimpanzee on a segway (which is still pretty f'in funny to me). Basically, this kid and who I believe to be his dad go to the dentist. My best bet is to get a couple teeth pulled but stitches are mentioned so I'm really not sure. Afterwards, they get back in the car and the guy films the kid's reaction to the medication that they put you on for such procedures. PURE COMEDY. And it was especially funny to me because about three years ago, I went to the dentist to get all four of my wisdom teeth taken out and there were complications with the last one so I had to go to the hospital. Mouth full of gauze wrap, swolen cheeks, involuntary crying... It wasn't a good look. When we get to the area of the hospital where they do oral surgery, the nurse lays me down in the room and puts the gas mask looking thing over my face and tells me to breathe in through my mouth if I want more, and in through my nose when I've had enough. I took the deepest breath I possibly could through my mouth and was knocked out IMMEDIATELY. Not to mention I had the illest dream while I was laying there: Inside my brain was pitch black and all of the thoughts and memories that I had were in white and they were flowing through my brain like a white water rapid. Then this tiny version of myself emerges out of the river of thoughts, and starts surfing down them. I bulls**t you not. I hope I never forget that dream. I said all that to say that I know exactly how that kid felt and if I was his age the first time I experienced hospital drugs, I would've been freaking out too.

This is a MUST SEE!

no reason.

This video is hilarious to me and I have no idea why.
Shout out to Jay Promo for putting me on to this.

true.
