Random OD:Lil Wayne x Michael Phelps @ SNL
September 13th will have part human, part dolphin and all time best gold medal winner Michael Phelps hosting the 34th season premiere of Saturday Night Live. Also, his favorite rapper Weezy F. will be the musical guest. I just hope to God that they do a skit together with Phelps rocking iced out gold medals. We will definitely have the video footage first thing that following Monday if it happens.

DNC 2008-Barack Obama’s Acceptance Speech (Video)

2008 Democratic National Convention Wednesday night: Barak Obama is 'Ready To Lead'
The theme of Bill’s speech could easily be reduced to one word: Ready.
“Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world,” Bill said. “Ready to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Barack Obama is ready to be president of the United States.”
Bill Clinton is still the first Black President in my book!
Senator Clinton went to the Convention floor and made a motion to nominate Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate by acclamation. She hit it out of the ball park nailing every aspect needed in the speech:
-Praising Obama's candidacy, check
-Rallying her supporters for Obama, check
-Attacks on McCain, check
He obviously accepted and will give his acceptance speech tomorrow at Invesco Field.
I don't know if you are realizing this but an African American is now the nominee of a major Party in this Western World, this hasn't been done before anywhere, not even in Europe.
and the HATERS...

4AGE-+1 F20/F22-0
If you are a follower of the ongoing trend of putting the Honda S2000 F20/F22 motor in a AE86 Corolla you’re ontop of whats happenning in drifting worldwide. One reason you could summise why the swap is so popular is to try and reduce the inherent lack of power output most professional AE86 drifters suffer from. At least 5 major AE86 drifters from the USA have chosen the Honda route and successfully pulled it off with the European guys more recently jumping onto the bandwagon with conversions of their own.

Farewell: 2008 Beijing Olympic torch blew
They're bbaaaaaaaaaccccckkkkkkk!!!!
What a game we had last night or morning or whatever. If you're like me you stayed up until 2:30 am to watch Team USA get back on top of the world when they beat Spain in a very entertaining game. It was a close one, Spain fought hard to tie it up but every time the U.S punched even harder. Wade had a huge game coming off the bench and when it was needed Kobe Bryant aka "Mr. 4th quarter" took over and put the nail in the coffin.
Congrats to the "Redeem Team", Women's basketball and Lisa Leslie for their 4th gold in a row.
sooo
The Olympic torch went off last night.
It was a total success worth 40 billion dollars. High in intensity, suspense, excitement, and disappointment at the same time. All the athletes brought their A-game, some more than others. We saw tears when Team USA track & field dropped the baton, we heard screams when Phelps was beating world records after world records and felt overwhelming emotions whenever a flag was raised (whatever the country you were reppin').
Beijing amazed us from the very beginning to the end with its colorful spectacle of lights, music, fireworks and culture. We learned a lot from China and we have even more respect today for them. You have to understand the culture to understand the People and today you won't be making anymore stereotypes towards Chinese or Asians especially after being so warmly welcomed.
Unfortunately the games were marked with a few controversies just like the previous ones. We questioned the real age of the Chinese gymnasts, we were shocked by the Cuban athlete that kicked a referee in the face. These incidents won't overshadow the memories we keep from Beijing though, we all have our favorite moments: Phelps 8 golds, Usain Bolt's individual world records, USA Men's Basketball back on top of the World and of course Women's Beach Volleyball (lol!)...
America finished with 110 total medals, China 100; however, China had more gold medals.
Thanks Beijing 2008, Good Luck London 2012.

My Inspiration: Michael Phelps: Wins Career Gold #10 & 11 (Still Counting)
Look how intense he's in the water. Michael Phelps just passed the all time record of number of gold medals held by an athlete at the Olympics. He was tied with others like Carl Lewis at 9 gold medals. He won two races the 200m butterfly and 800m freestyle relay with USA team and now he's the sole record holder. He's not only the greatest swimmer of all times but he's about to become the greatest athlete of all times.

Random OD: Blueprint 3 news
Heres some interesting info Mick Boogie posted today regarding Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3.
Kanye will indeed be producing most, if not all, of the album. Remember back in the day when an artist would do a whole album with one producer for cohesiveness? Think classic Snoop or Jeru with Primo… and fast forward it to 2008.
Jay will be leaking the finished version of Jockin’ as soon as he adds a new 3rd verse to the song.
Tracks to look for include the aforementioned Jockin’ Jay-Z and a new track entitled Victory that the rumor mill says is simply amazing.
Wow. A Hov album, entirely produced by Kanye could be ridiculous.

T.I. Paper Trail
So far from what I heard and the leaks this Project is gonna be REALL REALLY good come back for T.I. It's like he never left. Glad to see he still got it and I love the new single "Whatever you like" just the overall feel of the track. Another leaked hit the web wit THe Dream called "Like I Do" don't know if its on the album but its pretty good. "No Matter What" is a song you can listen to in any mood. For that bump in your trunk you'll have to flip it to "Swing ya Rag" produced by non other than Swizz Beatz the monster. Lets see what else hits the net till September.

Random OD:Kanye tells everyone to open their minds…and appreciate Soula Boy ; )
I know I need to quit postin about Kanye, Lupe and The Cool Kids for a minute but shit like this doesnt help so with that said I will proceed to give you wat u need…I love when Kanye gets on his soapbox and talks his talk. Sometimes it’s ridiculous, but still prophetic (T-pain is the most influential person in hiphop) and always entertaining.Ye closed out his show tonite at Madison Square Garden….so I knew he was in rare form.
Ye talks about how Nas is his generation Rakim. And then explains why he thinks Soulja Boy deserves your respect. Kanye then urges everyone to be more accepting of each others’ differences….and relates it to being a guy from Chi-town (not always the most openminded place, lol) and learning to get over his homophobia (similar to what he said in that classic MTV-Sway interview)

Guilty Pleasure:Woody Allen's Film
Woody Allen's upcoming Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the film over which Woody and his publicist have been battling about the inclusion (or non-inclusion) of a ménage à trois between Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, and Scarlett Johansson. Barcelona does feature Cruz, Johansson, and Rebecca Hall, and a carefree, pro-sex attitude at odds with Allen's typical romantic cynicism which boils to a true chick flick that I actually wouldnt mind seeing. Come on Penelope and Scarlett kissing?!
Exclusive: Jay-Z x Kanye at GITD
BLUEPRINT 3 from kwest on Vimeo.
So apparently before the clip starts Kanye was talking about not being selfish with instrumentals and asked if he could play a new beat for the audience and invited Hov to come out. Hov jumped on stage and performed what seems to be a new record.His flow seems RAW on this one. !!! very excite!!!

X Games XIV Danny Way Big Air bail
I know i'm a lil late on this but when I saw this live it bugged me the hell out. The risk these riders take, this is possibly the most scariest event in the X Games. The Big Air. Well after seeing Danny Way crash and burn then recovering to take silver by getting back on his board and nailing it says that nothing is impossible.
Bob Burnquest takes Gold. Danny Way Silver.

X Games Rally:Travis Pastrana takes the Gold
I get back home from work and watch thee most exciting X Games Rally ever!!! People can say that rally at X Games isn't representative of stage rally in the woods, but how can you deny the insanity and carnage of two compressed into 2 hours. Rally at X Games comes complete with a double dose of insanity!
Travis Pastrana endured a brief moment in time when he wasn't favored to win. When Niall McShea's squeaky clean run turned sour, just slightly overcooking right before re-entry into the stadium, the front suspension on the car locked the steering up and McShea had no option but to beach his 2008 STI prepped by Vermont Sportscar by the landing of the big jump.
Travis Hanson, the alternate, went on to win the heat and advance to the next round, receiving the cheers worthy of an underdog. Surely the entire rally crew breathed a sigh of relief at McShea's misfortune, as he had been so fast in practice. I hope we'll see more of McShea in the american rally scene.
Ultimately, NOS got all the exposure that could ever want as ACP completed his front flip off the gap for a place in history. Dave Mirra/Rally Brat took home Bronze for drilling the wall after taking off for the jump a bit wide.
And for Silver, it was Tanner Foust(my favorite driver)/Chrissie and Pastrana/Bosley takes the Gold. For those keeping track, that's Pastrana's ninth gold at X Games. He's also won for supercross, motocross, and freestyle motocross, in addition to rallying.

The Cool Kids Reviewed on Paper Mag
THE COOL KIDS
The Bake Sale (C.A.K.E Recordings/Chocolate Industries)
When Chicago hip-hop duo The Cool Kids rap about ice cream, it's hard to tell if they mean the dessert or the clothing label -- that's how well they balance good-natured nerd rap and style-conscious snark. Perfect, too, is their mix of old and new production: on "One Two" they claim to be "the new black version of the Beastie Boys," and The Cool Kids' self-produced beats prove they can hit the spot between clunky, '80s beats and spacious, Neptunes minimalism. Members Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish have self-assured deliveries that add shades of cockiness to their rhymes -- whether they're complaining about grocery store lines or, more often, bragging about their clothes. Sometimes their confidence dips into laziness: Rocks' flow slows to molasses on tracks like "Mikey Rocks." But "88" credibly celebrates both the year Rocks was born and the height of the hip-hop era the Kids reference the most. And The Bake Sale's best summer jam, "Bassment Party," has enough bounce to melt a Miami dance floor, or an ice cream cone at least. Jessica Suarez
