Joell Ortiz Gives 'em a Little Michael McDonald

The younger generation of music fans may not know who Michael McDonald is, though you may recognize some of his songs--more accurately, you may recognize the beats from some of his songs, which have been sampled by various artists. One such song is "I Keep Forgettin'", which Warren G used for "Regulators" (R.I.P. Nate Dogg). Indeed, the hip-hop world is well aware of McDonald's legacy.

From HipHop N More:

The Slaughterhouse crew is mean group of MCs but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to have some fun. Last night at their show in Ft. Lauderdale, Joell Ortiz did a hilarious cover of singer Michael McDonald’s classic song ‘I Keep Forgetting‘ while Joe Budden busted some passionate dance moves.

This shit slayed me. Ortiz actually does a pretty damn good rendition, and Budden more than does his part to assist in the performance.

Yup. Know who else runs this shit? Alison Brie, that's who.

Don't hurt 'em, Alison. (You can hurt me anytime you want, though...)

Monday Kickstart: How Does That Make You Feel?

Maybe getting it all out of your system today will help ease things the rest of the week. Maybe not. Either way, this video will at least clear your mind for a few blissful minutes.




Feel better? No? Think Kate Upton could help with that?

Yeah, I thought so. Let's go.

Ironic Beginnings

A look back at social media today, through the eyes of hipsters. (Found by my girl Yum.)

FLOTUS Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

Here's an excerpt from my phone conversation with my old man today.

Dad: "So long as [President Obama] doesn't do anything stupid before election day, like beat on Michelle, he should be okay."

Me: "Well, yeah, he'd have other things to worry about..."

Dad: "He'd have to deal with me. I'd have to go up to Washington and teach him some manners."

Me: "I don't even think you'd have to—Michelle can handle herself. If he slapped her around, he'd be on a cart being pulled up Pennsylvania Ave LONG before the election."

Dad: "A woman that we walk with at the track told me, 'Michelle Obama isn't attractive.' I said, 'Hater.'"


(For the record, that's a 75-year-old man calling someone a "hater." Don't ever wonder where I get it from.)

Next Level

Diplomacy is always better than violence. But, if you have to shoot a fair one, stick to the fisticuffs...especially in the future.

From lulzshirts.

Damn, homie. Just...damn. And since I've been thinking about Halle in the Catwoman suit all weekend (don't ask), let's leave it to her to provide your workweek motivation.

Let's get it.

Monday Kickstart: Gina Carano Will Fucking Kill You

There's just so much to love about this picture:

• Serial sleazebag Mario Lopez getting choked out by the most dangerous woman on the planet.
• A crowd of onlookers watching with a level of glee typically reserved for buzzer-beating three point shots in the NCAA Tourney.
• I mean, seriously, look how ecstatic the cute Asian girl on the right is.
• The distinct possibility that being choked out by Gina Carano in front of a cheering crowd is actually bringing Lopez to climax.
• The distinct possibility that the blonde woman in red is locked in on physical evidence that Lopez is enjoying being choked out.
  
• The distinct possibility that Carano, too, knows Lopez is about to climax, and as a result is conflicted about whether or not to keep squeezing

The only thing I don't love about this picture is that it may be the least attractive photo of Carano that I've ever seen. And since you just can't start a workweek without a little eye candy, I feel the need to rectify this:

You're welcome. Let's get it.
