Ma phukkin' jam.

Just as a little insight, they could have just followed me around for a day and gotten very similar footage.

Hump day, bitches.  Go get it.

PS:  How great is the still shot on the YouTube clip before you hit play.  BOOM.  A$$ ALL UP IN YO FACE!

Unfortunately Stuck In My Head

This is what passes for the National Anthem at a major sporting event nowadays, huh?  A bunch of f*cking hipsters in skinny jeans?  Hey, nice drum, bro.  All you could muster up for an appearance on national television with teams representing two red states was a f*cking v-neck t-shirt?  That sh*t better be organic cotton or I'll be pissed.

When your intro is "Welcome Grammy-nominated and internationally acclaimed, world-touring band, The Fray," I just don't think that's gonna get people amped for a National Championship.

1:15 - John Calapari is clearly hoping the jumbo tron falls on these dudes.

1:20 - Bill Self, the Kansas coach, is definitely doing his best to stifle his laughter.

Two dudes singing on one mic is never a good look.

-Big Ran

PS:  No f*cking cowbell?

Stuck In My Head

Sorry I have been a deadbeat blogger, bros.  I'll hit it up more next week.  I'm feeling this jam right now; just mad emotional, dogg.

Also, you can't beat the description the person who uploaded this wrote:

"Yes, you did just cum in your pants."

Stuck In My Head....

This is TOTALLY random, and it's been making numerous appearances in my head since last week. I have no idea why, but I love this song. It reminds me of my early 20's and being sh*tfaced--and ironically, most of my sh*ttiest nights were spent in the company of Big Ran!

Make sure you pay attention to the video, especially the part where Missy Elliot's head is missing. What was the point of that? Adding Ludacris to this song made it a slam dunk as well.  I mean, his rhymes are, as usual, priceless and the visual presentation is just ridiculous. I will admit that Missy rapping about sex in regards to men is VERY uncomfortable for me.....just sayin'....

Anyway, I anticipate this song being stuck in my head for at LEAST another week. It's always bad when the song stuck in your head is one that you can't sing out loud.

Stuck In My Head

Dudes, I don't care what you think, this is an f-ing jam.  I think I love it because it reminds me of when the Celts bust out the disco with Gino whenever they are putting the wood to a team in the fourth quarter.

Stuck In My Head

This one's for KC as a belated birthday gift.  I'm cheap as f*ck.

I know Chris Brown is a f*cking psycho woman abuser; this generations Ike Turner, but I'll be damned if this track isn't on f*cking fire.

As a bonus gift to KC and because of the Rihanna reference, I introduce possibly my favorite YouTube Video of all time.  it's at least number one on this week's list.  All time, it has to be top five, right?



-Big Ran

Stuck In My Head

Why?  I don't know.  Maybe I heard it on the radio yesterday.  Happy Hump Day, bitches.

See, I'm telling you, this bro came down with the Kony 2012 fever.  One minute he's coming up with a half hour video to watch on YouTube and become a social activist, next minute he's going Martin Lawrence on all of our asses, you know, except naked.

Listen, it's tough work raking in the money and getting everyone pissed of at Carl Weathers.

Fire it up, Billy!

Stuck In My Head - March Madness Edition

Double shot for yo minds, yo bodies, and yo souls.  It is day one of the two best days of the year: MARCH MUTHA F*CKIN' MADNESS!!!!!  The second best day is tomorrow.  16 games each day.

I'm not working, I'm getting drunk, hanging with some homies, and just watching non stop hoops.

I first heard this song on the new Internet Explorer 9 commercials.  Pretty dope jam.

Who's got the ecstasy and roofies?  I'm looking at you, Adam Levine.

-Big Ran

Stuck In My Head

Why?  I have no idea.  How is this song stuck in my head?  Also, there was the fact that instead of the actual lyrics, I was singing "Bermuda, Bahamas, come on pretty mama, Hipolito Pichardo, come on why don't we go..."

You know who Hipolito Pichardo is?  A pretty crappy major league pitcher for the Royals and Red Sox in the early 90s to early 2000s.  However, he has a dope name.

How about John Stamos in that video?  Dude, sweet hat and nice job wearing a Beach Boys t-shirt while on stage with them.  I thought it was an unwritten rule that you shouldn't wear a t-shirt of the band you were seeing at a concert.  If that's the case, what's the rule for performing on stage with them?  That's like me wearing a t-shirt with my picture and name on it to work.  Actually, that might be kind of awesome.

-Big Ran

Stuck In My Head

Awwww yeah, bitches.  Black Keys concert day!  I'm sharing the jam that really got me into The Black Keys because sharing is caring.

What are the chances I can grow a thick-ass beard by tonight?  Have to be pretty good, right?

I don't know what type of shape I'm going to be in tomorrow.  Cs game last night, thanks to KC, concert tonight?  I'm too old for this.

-Big Ran

Stuck In My Head

Sorry everybody, but I am going to The Black Keys concert tomorrow night, so I have been crushing their jams like 24-7.  As a result, that's pretty much all I have rattling around in my dome.  Starts out slow, but half way through they start friggin' ripping it.

My wife gets paid at midnight tomorrow, so I'm spending her entire paycheck on beer and t-shirts.  Gonna be awesome.

Stuck In My Head

Today, literally half of my office is out with the stomach virus that is going around.  Bad times.  I think I am going to close my door and not let anyone in unless they have a face mask and rubber gloves on.

In other work related news, don't do what Big ran did last week.  For some reason we were pulling up our id pictures on our intra-office website.  And one person (my manager before I had a bit of a job change), said to pull hers up because she was like 8 months pregnant and huge in it.  She is a tiny person, but honestly BLEW UP when she was pregnant with each of her two kids.  Without seeing the picture, I said, sarcastically, that "At least [she] didn't put on muich weight while she was pregnant."  Ooof.  Not smart.  She definitely got irritated, and I even tried to save myself about how you would never know she had kids now.  That didn't work.  She's still pissed.  So, don't do that.

Say what you want about Kanye being a mega douche or Jay Z owning exactly one percent more of the New Jersey Nets than I do and naming his daughter Blue Ivy or some sh!t, but this CD they have out is straight fire.  No matter what though, don't forget that my man Fisticuff owns the streets.

Stuck In My Head

Why I was singing Sister Christian in the shower this morning I will never know, but it happened.  And that's when sh!t got real.  Not really.

A couple things about this video:

1.  I was convinced that drummer was Will Ferrell.  He needs to host SNL and remake this video Blue Oyster Cult style.

2.  Those two guitarists had to be banging each other right?  Like Bowie and Jagger, dancing and doing each other's hair and stuff.

Stuck in My Head....

Happy Monday Takeover Readers!

First of all, I have to say that this song has been stuck in my head for DAYS. This is problematic as it's completely inappropriate for 98% of situations. So, there is no accidentally singing some of the lyrics out loud. What makes it even better is when I went to search for it on youtube, the clip below is one of the first that was listed. Please take a look and then enjoy my commentary.


First of all, notice at the 2 second mark; Phil Donahue has presented them. I did some research and saw that this is footage from their performance on The Phil Donahue Show! Remember that? Why were they on that? Way to get some MAJOR street cred Phil! Do you!

The first 25 seconds are just awesome. No real idea what is going on there- 2 Live Crew walking around aimlessly on stage rapping with HUGE smiles on their faces, girls with them looking like they belong at a college football game near the marching band...and best of all.....middle aged white men just sitting on the stage. The first look at the audience is priceless (second 22 in particular--look at this dude, he's got nothing). Was this a sneak attack or did they know this performance was coming?

The 25 second mark is classic as one of our Crew  has apparently been injured and has his arm in a sling....and more of the spirit squad is running down the aisle of the audience shaking like they are having seizures. There is just no order to this and I'm not sure what the "2 Live Crew Juror" was all about at the 1:07 mark, but I think she definitely looked like she was enjoying this.

Please pay attention to the lyrics, I'm not sure how anyone could rap or sing anything like this with a straight face...picture it; I mean, can you imagine the producer when the official recording was going on in studio. I can just hear it now; "ok, cut, let's take it from 'd*ck tricks, go round and round'"...what?!

1:33- This woman does not look like she's enjoying it as much as Beverly was (the juror)..... in fact, she looks kind of evil. Maybe she's mad she wasn't invited to sit on the stage? Or maybe she wanted to be one of the dancers? One can only wonder....

1:43- Seriously, just pause this moment and look at their faces. This is definitely the craziest experience these two rednecks have EVER had in their lives. After this performance, they immediately went out and purchased mixers and traded in their mullets for cornrows. I have no doubt. They MIGHT have even relocated to 8 Mile.

1:49- How are these women even still alive? They must have pretty strong hearts to have not dropped dead from the shock and awe campaign The Crew brought with them. They also don't seem as joyful as Beverly, but they also don't seem as hateful as our friend at the 1:33 mark.

1:50-1:53- Making friends with the middle aged white men on stage. Smart move as I'm sure that at the end of the day, they were all in agreement that face down and a$$ up was the preferred position.

I just wanted to share this. 2 Live Crew's music was epic, ground-breaking, and still, some of the filthiest stuff in existence. I mean, honestly, put the most vulgar stuff today up against this stuff and it's not even a competition. I think the ONLY dude who MIGHT have them beat is our boy Eazy-E. Love it. We're so hood here at The Takeover, so we celebrate their entire collection. For a good time, I suggest everyone go and do their own research to learn all about the magic of The Crew.

Hollla!

-KC Jones


*Fun Fact: Luther Campbell, aka, "Uncle Luke", leader of "2 Live Crew" ran for mayor of Miami-Dade County last year. I would have voted for him.

*Big Ran Note:  I would like to know the 2% of the time when these lyrics are appropriate for KC to use.

Stuck In My Head

I think this was on Sports Center or on during a game last night.  I only have hazy recollections of last night, it was a weird one.  My wife was at some country concert, so I was just kicking it with the dogs.  However, I think I have reverted to high school whenever my wife is out for the night.  You know what I had for dinner last night?  Probably half a bag of Trader Joe's Soy and Flaxseed Spicy Tortilla Chips and like two-thirds of the Newman's Salsa jar.  What is wrong with me?

Happy Friday mofos.

So this is the hotness right now, with like 2.3 million views in two days.  Does the world remember that Chris Brown tuned Rhianna up like you don't often see?  It's not like he pushed her because they were hammered and yelling at each other, it looked like she went into a MMA cage match.  Meh, let's give him Grammys and sh!t.

However, I will say this: this song is a jam.  I can't deny that.

-Big Ran

PS:  I don't think they're really taking about cake.  I have the suspicion that it's a metaphor, but I can't quite put my finger on it (pun intended).
