If you were to talk to my brain, this is what it would say.

Jay-Z recreates all of his album covers.

2009-09-01T15:37:00.002-04:00

Sorry I haven't been posting for a while, but here's something.

Jay-Z teamed up with Rhapsody to create a commercial with him re-doing all of his previous album covers. I found it really dope and if you're a Jay-Z fan, I know you will too.

Sorry I've been AWOL, I've come down with the flu a few days ago and still trying to get better as I type. Here's todays LOL:

HA!

As many of you know, Drake went down during a concert because of his previously injured ACL.

ItsTheReal (two dudes who basically parody the hip-hop industry) decided to go Broken Equipment style (with the animation) and definitely created one hilarious cartoon:

LOL

Oh and congrats to ItsTheReal on their 2nd anniversary.

Wow, this is insane.

2009-08-09T22:02:00.003-04:00

Another Youtube video today since I really have nothing original to post... not like any of my other posts are anyway. LOL

This is just insanity though. Nunchaku + Table Tennis = Wow.

Not 100% if it is Bruce Lee though... if it his however, I wouldn't be surprised.

If anyone has been watching the blogs or hip-hop news lately, they would know about how Raekwon just came up on Joe Budden while backstage for Rock the Bells and straight up tagged Budden in the right temple. Damn, don't mess with the Wu.

Post-Raekwon's fist:

LOL Joe Budden is a good rapper, he just needs to shut his gotdamn mouth and quit talking so much smack. He ain't THAT good.

oh and a sidenote, some goon punched his girlfriend, Tahiry, the other day. HAHA

LOL

Air Max Lebron VII (7)

2009-08-08T19:43:00.003-04:00

So LeBron recently unveiled his latest sneaker for the public, which he will likely wear for the season (except the playoffs, seeing as he switches to his Soldier line then... and assuming he does make the playoffs). It's definitely a new, fresh look on the Nike Lebron line. It has Flywire Technology and Air Max 360 technology (usually LeBron's sneakers are fitted with full-length Zoom Air).

It definitely looks different from LeBron's other signature shoes, but also reminiscent of others (the Air Jordan XI from the patent). The aesthetics of the line have definitely stepped up. The LeBron 6 wasn't the best shoe to look at (although performance-wise, it was pretty good). I have owned the first few LeBrons and have stopped buying them since, well, they didn't look all so great. This model however, I may just have to pick up. Definitely a step up for Nike.

Sorry for not posting a LOTD yesterday... I completely forgot about it.

Well here's today's LOL:

Music Saturday!

2009-08-08T13:45:00.001-04:00

Each week I will provide you with something that I listen to (may it be one song, two songs or a whole album/mixtape) and I'll definitely give my insight as to why I take interest in it.

Today: Loso's Way (Album) by Fabolous

So, I'm sure a lot of people have this album already, but I just recently listened to it. Yeah, I got it on the day of release, but was reluctant to listen to it since I really was not in the mood for Fabo's usual R&B rap. Today I just felt like popping it in for a listen and damn was I surprised. Most tracks are very well done. Some nice features as well, including Jeremih (who sang Birthday Sex), Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie and way more.

Notable songs: "My Time", "Everything, Everyday, Everywhere", "Throw It In The Bag"

"I'm Good" - Clipse Feat. Pharrell

2009-08-07T19:19:00.004-04:00

Their second single from their upcoming album, Till The Casket Drops. I cannot wait until this album drops. This song definitely sounds great. A completely different feel from their first single, Kinda Like A Big Deal, which featured Kanye West.

Hyperizers - Don't Criticize (Hyperize)

2009-08-07T16:35:00.003-04:00

Nike's new campaign for their new shoe, the Hyperize (a successor for the well-known Hyperdunk shoe), which combines both Flywire and Zoom Air technology into a very lightweight, but comfortable basketball sneaker.

Mo Williams, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant & Rashard Lewis are the Hyperizers. And let me say, Nike gets both creative and funny with this one. They were missing one person however... Delonte West

Random Photograph Friday!

2009-08-07T02:46:00.004-04:00

Another feature I thought I'd be doing. Along with my love for photography, I thought it would help ease them shameless plugs from my Flickr into the blog...

nah, just kidding. I'm gonna be posting other people's pictures (usually) and just sharing the enjoyment I get from viewing such wonderful works of art. And of course, I'll of course post a link to their website or Flickr for more of their stuff.

Ever wanted to combine jumping on a trampoline, playing basketball and playing volleyball all in one sport? Well you can now for a measly $700!

You can hardly see the other person through that hole where you supposedly throw the ball through. I can't wait to see the idiots who buy this and end up with their kid getting balls in their face...

Vanessa Hudgens Nude... Again?

2009-08-06T13:17:00.004-04:00

Unconfirmed reports of a new slew of naughty and nude photos of Vanessa Hudgens are burning up the Web today.

We've seen them, and they do look like her. Not all of them, but some of them. And they are way hotter than that first batch. Did she learn nothing from the last episode? How does this keep happening?

We reached out for official comment from her publicist but got no response as of this posting.

Wow, this chick just won't learn... unless this is some publicity stunt. The last batch of pictures weren't that great either, so either step it up or keep your Blackberry secure.

Hey, let's just make it Youtube Thursday.

2009-08-06T02:01:00.005-04:00

Since I have no other shit to post, I'll just keep editing this with random Youtube videos which I find either: interesting, funny, or just really stupid. Hope you enjoy.

Starting with this new Nike Skateboarding commercial featuring Eric Koston, Kobe Bryant and the man behind the music: Ice Cube. It's for Paul Rodriguez's new shoe, I believe:

Do you know who Dwele is? Well if you don't, you do now! This dude crazy talented, and don't just take my word for it:

Now this must have taken a lot of takes to do, but it's definitely entertaining. This dude could hustle money from any dude in the park, easily.

I'm a big fan of the now canceled show, "Whose Line Is It Anyway" and this is one of my favourite segments of ALL TIME.

Chris Paul's fave food...

is bread pudding? This looks disgusting.

and LOL @ him saying "I love eating bread pudding... PAUSE"

Delonte West's KFC Freestyle

2009-08-06T00:32:00.007-04:00

This has been making rounds through the net lately. I found it hilarious.

This is what happens when an NBA player and his friend (who is supposedly a rapper) wait in their car for 18 minutes waiting for fried chicken (and even though it wasn't mentioned, these dudes sound HIGH AS HELLLLLLLLLLL).

Jay-Z - BP3

2009-08-04T03:13:00.005-04:00

One of the most anticipated hip-hop albums of 2009 (2nd to Lupe's, for me). Seems like a lot of big names (and mostly Kanye on the production values). I really hope that the names aren't just for show and that the tracks really have some substance to them. I'm also glad that the Drake track is on the album. I had thought they had taken it out for "Run This Town."

1. What We Talking About (Produced by Kanye West)
2. D.O.A. (Produced by No I.D.)
3. Weigh Me Down Feat. Kid Cudi (Produced by Kanye West)
4. Unforgiven (Produced by Kanye West, Additional Production: MGMT)
5. Run This Town Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West (Produced by Kanye West)
6. Empire State Of Mind Feat. Nas (Produced by Kanye West & No I.D.)
7. When It Comes To This (Produced by Timbaland)
8. Always Feat. Drake (Produced by Kanye West)
9. Scenes From The Past (Produced by No I.D., Co-produced by Kanye West)
10. Everyday A Star Is Born Feat. Mr. Hudson (Produced by Kanye West)
11. Already Home (Produced by Kanye West)
12. Forever Young Feat. Mr. Hudson (Produced by Kanye West)
13. Thank You (Produced by No I.D.)

Bonus Tracks:
14. Sound Of The 70s (Produced by Kanye West)
15. We Made History (Produced by Kanye West)

New Cam'ron movie?

2009-08-04T02:47:00.006-04:00

Oh helllllllllllllllll naw.

Cousin Bang:

If this is gonna be anything like his previous one, Killa Season, then it's gonna be hilarious, due to the poor production. Oh, don't forget; a Camron Giles film is not a Camron Giles film unless it stars the man himself, Camron Giles.

Killa Season:

And here we go again.

Time for me to start blogging again. Though no one ever reads my piece of shit ramblings, I really don't care. I pretty much do these things more as a personal journal or often a speakers corner, as one would call it.

I've had multiple blogs before and after a month or so, I just stop posting because, well, it gets mildly boring.

Time for that to change. I'll be doing the same of what I did before and a bit more, I guess. Random posts about random shit, rants about how I hate things and praises about how I love things. There will be some photos thrown in and definitely something related to my infinite love for music. The layout may be changed as well (generic layouts, FTL).

I do not live a life like James Bond, Peter Parker or "The Most Interesting Man In The World" (copyright Dos Equis Pale Lager - which does not taste all that great, by the way), but I make do with what I have around me and try to make my life as exciting as possible (this is a lie).

So, if you're reading this: welcome to the mind of Justin Alvarado.
