Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Waka Flocka- 848

The mixture of the lively beats Waka Flocka has made a habit of finding and the swagger of harlemites Jim Jones and Juelz Santana. The track sounds similar to a few songs featured on Jim Jones latest album Capo. FYI: the beat is not produced by Lex Luger but by South Side-- an upcoming producer on the Brick Squad label.

 Lupe Fiasco jumps and head-thrashes his way through an energetic, enthusiastic performance of "I Don't Wanna Care Right Now". You know what they say, it wasn't a good performance unless the performer finishes with sweat on his/her brow. If that rule applies, this is one of the best I've seen. This was a web exclusive performance; Lupe performance of "Words I Never Said" with Skylar Grey appeared on the show last night.

Shouts to Lupe for putting The Colbert Show on the map for more hip hop fans.

Why Brett Favre needs to be left alone

I noticed 'Brett Favre' was trending on Yahoo searches this morning so I researched what the hoopla was about.

What appeared in search results were articles many of which read "Why Brett Favre..." For example, the Bleacher Report has two listed pieces titled "Brett Favre: Why Brett Favre is destined to Fail as a Football Coach" and "Why Brett Favre Would Be a Perfect Fit for a Studio Show". The title of another result, on the same page mind you, read "Why Brett Favre is the most overrated".

All three of these were published online between April 29 and the last hour. This is likely because Favre recently expressed his interest in pursuing work in coaching or television work.

The last time I checked Brett Favre retired for the final time after the (6-10) Minnesota Vikings finished their 2010 season. Favre suffered a shoulder injury that kept from playing in week 14 against the New York Giants and subsequently ended his tremendous consecutive starts streak at 297 games. He finished the season with 2,509 passing yards and 69.9 passer rating. After closing out his career in that fashion, he deserves to look toward a future beyond playing on the gridiron.

Perhaps we've become so accustomed to talking about Favre this time of year that it has become second nature to mention him. Most newly retired players use their football knowledge and media exposure to land a job on television or as a position coach. He has done nothing more than disclose his future options... nothing exciting or newsworthy. Favre needs to be left by his lonesome.

Movie written by Tupac? Not exactly...

It’s amazing how deceased celebrities live on through their work. Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G have had several successful posthumous albums years after their deaths.

Recently, a screenplay, written by Tupac while he served time in jail for weapons charges titled Time 2 Tell, was acquired by Nstar Media Studios.  The production budget for the film is set at $11 million. For more details, click here:

My concern will be the liberty directors and other hires will have to adjust and edit the script. The original may be written by Tupac but once the final script is completed, the ideas may be totally different. Tupac isn’t going to check in-and-out of his grave to approve of any edits made to his screenplay. Eventually the dialogue, plot and other aspects will be changed; that is how the movie business functions.

The film will be successful regardless of how far the final film averts from the late Pac’s vision. The prospect of a movie “written by Tupac” in theaters 15-16 years after his death is a strong motive for many to spend money on it. It wouldn’t be the first time Tupac’s name will be used to make significant profit, ask Suge Knight.
