In a weekend that invovled my Nets being knocked out of the NBA Playoffs, my wife and I making a cool $1 during our yard sale, and my family enjoyng Pinot Grigio and drama at my cousin's baby shower, I unfortunately did not have the time to sit down and knock out my normal shuffle for the week ending May 19th, 2007, and I apologize. I've been kind of absent, but I will be providing the wealth of links I accumulted.Before I do that, though, here is a list of things to expect from rock the dub and dubplate digest this week and in the near future:
- A leak-exclusive playlist for the 18th of May;
- A recap of The Sopranos' episode entitled "The Second Coming";
- A recap of LOST's episode entitled "Greatest Hits";
- My interview of DNB drummer/producer KJ Sawka;
- A recap of my failed yard sale;
- Other bits and bobs.
In any case, let's flush out this week's news:
- The Big 3 dropped their weak Fall lineups.
- RIP Yolanda King.
- How was Lindsay Lohan voted to the top of the Maxim 100? And how is she 'not stupid enough' to get caught snorting coke on tape?
- Have you heard the one about Ma$e and the she-males?
- Would you watch a Suge Knight reality TV show? Is his making this show the reason he is tightening his belt?
- I hardly listen to Nine Inch Nails, but Trent Reznor is the smarted artist in the music industry for his no-nonsense views on the industry.
- Microsoft must be losing money off of Vista: they are trying to milk royalties from companies like Linux and other open-source heads.
- Some study thinks that an iTunes-esque video service has no future. They probably also said MP3 players will make no ends.
- America fucked up and voted Melinda Doolittle off. Jordin Sparks FTW.
- Akon's dumbass is saying he didn't do anything. Except dry-hump a teen. At least his situation made Enrique Iglesias cool off during a concert performance.
- The RIAA looks like a bunch of bullies cracking down on poor college students and their file sharing habits.
- I love how we easily have $50 million to combat youth gangs and violence, but seem to have no money to put into the school districts of these areas, which would help combat the problem before it manifests itself...
- This punk ass father left his son locked in a car for 9 hours while he got crunk at a birthday party.
- 'Bud Bundy' got busted with reefers.
- Fox Boogie Brown is bad as HELL! almost took out a lady with a baby and still ain't gone to JAIL!
- What's good with Scott Storch not paying back a measely $100K? He probably has rims worth more...
- Sean Price was all over ya internets this week: check out this Ghetto Penthouse interview, then peep his Freestyle 101 video over @ G4.
- Would you buy a CD that could actually get you high?
- Paris Hilton's good behavior (aka showing up for court) got her jail time cut in half. If only gang niggas could show up to court and get those life sentences reduced...
- Bobby DeNiro & Al Pacino are set to act in the same film again. Hopefully they get more than 2 scenes together...
- New Gnarls Barkley LP set to drop this September.
- The Game & Lil' Wayne are working on a "Blood" themed mixtape. As if the many "Blood" references in their tracks weren't enough...
- Andre 3000 spoke on his return to the mic, and what might be in store from him/Outkast in the future; also rated are the plethora of cameos he' s made in recent months...
- Blondes might have more fun, but those bitches can't stick to robbery plans por nada!
- 20 MP3s says Amazon.com's digital music store is going to give iTunes a run for its money.
- Speaking of digital music, Paul McCartney has seen the light and is putting his tracks online.
- M.O.P.'s Billy Danze said he did not hear 50 Cent's comments about their LP being done in his recent XXL interview; it might be due to lack of hearing from the Hevi Medal side project.
- 50 Cent also had a chance to speak on Master P and the whole clean rap lyrics crusade (which is actually going nowhere fast). Too funny.
- Jerry Falwell died this week. Reports say Tinky Winky had a pocketbook party.
- Bruce Willis is not going to be happy if the latest Die Hard sequel tanks. This week's gripe: his signature catchphrase has been axed, for ratings reasons.
- Do you think Nicholas Cage would be be good as Al Capone?
- MySpace was too busy this week implementing content fingerpringing technology to hand over the info on sex offenders on the popular website.
- The boy Pastor Troy, who created Hip-Hop masterpieces like "Drop That Ass", was forced to change the title of his forthcoming album from Saddam Hussein to Tool Muzik. OK so instead of promoting fallen dictators that WE KILL, we will allow you to promote tools that helps kill everyone. Good call.
- US soldiers, you know, the guys who have their lives on the line for us, are not allowed to use YouTube and other sites that slow down the Army's internet connections, or so they say. I guess Dick Cheney and his crew are REALLY trying to grab bootlegs of the new Pastor Troy.
- Shout outs to the Latinos who made Ken Burns redo his latest documentary.
That's the motherlode. Dissect one at a time.
Here's a final thought for that ass:
Three 6 Mafia "Tear Tha Club Up '97"
Get ready for Memorial Day, early!
Until next time...
