Dad is So Proud



Ugh, I wish I slacked off at work and posted this earlier because everyone has it up now.  Anyway, if I had to guess, I would guess this is fake, but well done, had me for a second.  Let's be honest, I'm not re-watching this for what she says.  Hey, I may be on a diet, but it doesn't mean I can't look at the menu.

If I am Jeremy Lin, I 1000% get in touch with this broad.  I mean, you gotta play the hot hand, right.

Stuck In My Head



It's unfortunate that this song is stuck in my head because it forced me to find this video and watch it for the first time.  I wish I had video of my reaction to watching this for the first time and could post it here.

Essentially, I refuse to have a daughter.

PS:  I bet KC looks like Ke$ha this morning after watching the Cs blow one against the Detroit Pissed-ons.

Is This the Earliest Use of "Gangsta Lean?"


I'm just crushing a little work and Pandora, cause I multitask so hard, and "Be Thankful for What You Got" by William DeVaghn comes on and he sings the following:

"Diamond in the back, sun rooftop, diggin' the scene with a gangsta' lean."

Could this be the first musical reference of gangsta lean?  1974.  Not sure, just throwing it out there.



From Urban Dictionary (I love the second definition):


1.gangsta lean1145 up, 346 down
January 26, 2006 Urban Word of the Day
A common driving position in which the driver holds the wheel with his left hand while leaning to his right toward the passenger seat, usually bobbing his head or bumpin' with the beat. It's a pretty badass way to drive. This move works best in a Chevy Caprice or any pimp-style car with a 3-person front seat.
"...with a hellafied gangsta lean, gettin' funky on da mike like an ol' bunch of collard greens..." -Snoop Dogg

Sammy was gangsta leanin' so hard yesterday that his head was partially out the passenger window. What a pimp.
buy gangsta lean mugs & shirts

2.Gangsta Lean837 up, 407 down
Let me explain somthin' to all you youngsters out there. Ya'll need to listen, and be schooled. A gangsta lean is not leaning to the inside of your car, that is for pussys who are scared. The proper lean is with the right hand on the wheel, leanin' to the left, so everybody can see yo' mug. It shows that you ain't afraid, that you are on point, and that you know what the fuck you are doin', and you'z aware of your surroundings.
Them niggas that Gangsta Lean to the left got schooled on some proper shit..... from the old school gangstas.

Sie Sehen Mich Rollin, Sie Zu Hassen



Big ups to Volkswagon for using "Ridin' Dirty."  This is like, my song of the year and I am rarely not singing or whistling it.  When this commercial came on the first time, my wife asked my if that's what I always played before the car passed inspection.  Yup.

-Big Ran

PS:  "Sie Sehen Mich Rollin, Sie Zu Hassen" is as close as I could get to "They see me rollin', they hatin'."

My Valentime's Gift To Big Ran...

Since he's been so good about flying solo with the blog over the past couple of weeks, I think it's only fair that I present him with post to celebrate his hard work. Since it's Valen-time's Day, I figured I'd put together his dream playlist. Maybe he and Mrs. Big Ran can bump this in their house the next time they have a nice meal together. Enjoy Big Ran, you deserve it:




Just a little ditty, highlighted one of his favorite band's sensitive side
                                                    
I know that Big Ran would love to meet Creed with his "Arms Wide Open"                

We all know about his affinity for Daughtry (esp when he does Gaga covers)
                                                    
He doesn't talk too much about Jimmy Buffet on the blog, but that doesn't mean he's not Super Fan 1.                                                   
The most appropriate song for the playlist when the title is considered. Even I, super fan 1, will admit that this is not their best song.

             

When we were in high school, I was admittedly obsessed with Boyz II Men. Big Ran was known to toss out the quote, "I will always love Boyz II Men", in a woman's voice, to make fun of me. Well B.R. these Boyz
are for you!


 
We all know that Adam LeVine is a hero of Big Ran's

Stuck In My Head

Can someone please help me get this song out of my head? It's been on replay for about 48 hours now....just in time for Valen-time's Day....

I watch this video and I laugh nervously and uncontrollably. I don't care HOW desperate you are to break into the industry, this video would NOT be the place to start. Look at these two clowns. I LOVE their dancing/snapping routine featured throughout- that is clearly the most amusing part- they are totally into it. That being said, I would never want any of them near me.

It's probably going to be stuck in your head now too, but it's only fair since I can't get it to leave mine!



Side note: has anyone ever seen the MTV "Cribs" episode featuring this pair? If not, I suggest you watch it in all of it's glory immediately. The house isn't theirs, AND if I remember correctly, everything in it is from Wal-Mart/KMART, Wal-Mart/KMART. Awesome. At least they're budget conscious.

 Notice at the very beginning of the clip, when it lists information about the house....it states that they have an office. Really? An office? A meth lab, maybe....a greenhouse to grow their chronic, definitely....an office....doubtful....at best. Also, "What your name is?"....great way to ask a question. Can you be verbally dyslexic? I know you can be dyslexic as far as reading is concerned, but not sure about the speaking thing. I also love their coordinating outfits. Wondering if those were purchased as Wally World as well.

The monosyllabic grunts and moans are almost more than I can take at some points, but I continue to find the humor. Did you know as long as you have a fish tank, you can call the room a "Sea Room"??

3:25 through the 4 minute mark is almost more than I can deal with. Pay attention to the noises....how is this even happening? And how is it that these guys are millionaires while Big Ran and I slave away?

Irrational Rant....No Talent Ass Clown

Experts say Nicki Minaj could lose fans from Grammy performance; singer couldn't care less

 Nicki Minaj has a message for critics of her controversial, Catholicism-inspired Grammy performance on Sunday night: “Stay offended. Not a single F**K is given,” she said via Twitter on Monday, in the aftermath of her widely-panned song-and-dance routine.

Alrighty then!

In an attempt to be “edgy,” Minaj performed “Roman Holiday,” a track from her forthcoming album, complete with a self-exorcism, burning flames and gibberish. However, some experts are now predicting that the overall negative reaction to her moment in the spotlight could seriously hurt album sales.

Nicki Minaj was clearly aiming for shock value and mass PR, and she succeeded. With big ideas and shock value comes big opportunity, but also backlash,"  Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. "She has to be aware of possible alienation from some of current fans, who take religion and spiritually seriously."

Last month, Minaj announced via Twitter that her sophomore album, “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” would not be coming out April 3, although it was initially slated for a Valentine’s Day release. In another blow to Minaj, last week BET banned her music video for another track on the album entitled “Stupid Hoe,” with the unofficial reason being it wasn’t a good fit for television.

Minaj’s religious-mocking Grammy performance not only annoyed critics, audience members and an abundance of Twitter followers, it understandably rubbed some Catholics the wrong way.

“There are Catholic priests who are trained to perform exorcisms, and it seems plain that the time has come for Nicki Minaj to make an appointment,” President of the Catholic League of America, Bill Donohue, told us. “Even worse than Minaj is The Recording Academy that runs the Grammys: they knew exactly what she was going to do and gave her the green light. I've never heard of a collective exorcism, but there is a first time for everything.”
Dan Gainor, VP of Business & Culture at the Media Research Center, also took aim at the rap star and Grammy officials.

"Bashing Catholics is 'in,' and Nicki Minaj and the Grammy’s pulled out all the stops – making fun of the Sacrament of confession, mocking exorcism and using the Catholic Church as background for a bizarre musical number,” he said. “The performance highlighted a man dressed as a priest and even included a snippet of Minaj singing “O Come All Ye Faithful,” mixed in with heavy doses of sex.”

The Recording Academy, CBS and a rep for Minaj did not respond to a request for comment.

KC's notes: 


So, I've been saying that Nicki Minaj is a complete no talent ass clown for a while and it seems like people are finally starting to catch on. The more people I talk to, the more people I hear say that they can't stand her. My question relates to the title of the article copied in above....she COULD lose FANS? How can she lose was she doesn't really have? 
I think she's completely obnoxious, her voice makes me want to punch babies, and I have no idea how anyone can listen to her. The Grammys was the final nail in the coffin for many people, but I was already there.  Even TMZ was stating that she needs to stop trying to be the black Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga can sing her ass off, can write music, play instruments, and would be popular whether she dressed like a librarian or a peacock. Her flash has no impact on her talent or popularity. Minaj relies on shock value because she has NOTHING else. She has gone so far as to mention that she is better than Lil' Kim. REALLY? I mean, Lil' Kim was rough, completely inappropriate, and ghetto, but she could rap and put on one hell of a show (yes, I saw her at the "No Way Out" Tour with Puff Daddy and the family back in college). 
This 'thing' can do NOTHING except wear flourescent wigs (which Kim did first anyway). I am a better rapper than her. Her 15 minutes cannot be up soon enough. She is a waste of space and her existence offends me.

 Keep trying Nicki......the clock is ticking and I can't wait for the sand to run out of the hourglass....

Over/Under on Kim calling the request line to dedicate MC's song to Nicki? The title is all you need to hear/see....

Lunchtime Look-A-Like

I'm posting this tonight because I've been slacking on the blog for weeks due to my 'real' job taking over my life. I didn't want to make our adoring public wait any longer, and I'm feeling guilty that Big Ran's had to pull all the weight lately.

I'm a reality TV junkie (to a point!), and one of my favorites is "Braxton Family Values"--which chronicles Toni Braxton, her sisters, mother and all of their baggage. They regularly meet with their family therapist, "Dr. Sherry". I think she MIGHT be Jay-Z in women's clothing- but the verdict is still out on that. You be the judge:

HOV
Dr. Sherry

It's times like this that the phrase,  "handsome woman" would be appropriate- because she surely isn't pretty, and I'm trying to look on the bright side. And, like Jay-Z, she's got 99 problems (but unlike Jay, the Braxton sisters ARE some!).....

Wow, So I Feel Like a Jerk


So, I was on facebook earlier today and I see a pic that someone posted of a little girl in a Valentine's Day Dress.  I look to see who it is and it was posted by the wife of one of my college roommates.  We lived together for two years, junior and senior year.  We were at each other's weddings and see eachother once a year now because he lives in a different part of the country.  Well, I knew that his wife had a baby about a year and a half ago.  So I am looking at the pic and assuming it was their niece or something.  Nope.  It's their kid.  I swear to god, I thought they had two boys.  So I rush to check out other pics, look at her profile pic and yup, definitely one boy and one girl.  And this is not a girl that looks like a boy at all.  Tons of pink clothing.

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst, how bad of a friend am I?  I had no idea that they had a girl.  I mean, I think we got birth announcements, Christmas cards, and everything.  This has to rate out to like a 9, right?  I can't wait to ask my wife if she knew they had a boy and a girl.  Guaranteed she knew and that will push me to a 10 on that scale.



This has to be on the list of worst videos ever made by a legitimate band.  Stock footage of 80s water parks and clubs?  Plus, look at these guys.  Holy sh!t.  This is really something.  I have no idea what to say.
