LORDS of APATHY

RIP Arturo Gatti

2009-07-13T05:05:00.000-07:00

Arturo Gatti was strangled to death in his sleep by his stripper wife. Gatti's fights against Micky Ward were brutal epics that will always be remembered by anyone who saw them. After splitting a pair of bouts, Gatti and Ward had a final showdown in 2003 in which Gatti broke his hand in the fourth round but came back to win. I was so stoked after the fight that I hopped in my Camero and cruised Harlem Avenue with the Italian flag out the window. Real talk for a second, this is a rare celebrity death that actually made me sad. It also drives the nail in the coffin of my interest in boxing as Gatti's death reminds me that today's boxers are boring as hell.

On a related topic, does anyone have any stories where dating a stripper in a long-term relationship turned out well? Don't they usually just steal your money/drugs/car or give you an STD?

M.J.'s catalog of songs is fucking sick. I've been really digging this one since he passed away. I'll spare you all the sappy nostalgia, but real talk, the man brought an incalculable amount of joy to the world.

RIP AIR McNAIR

A belated Rest in Peace goes out to my man Steve McNair. My sincere apoligies on that, we were all booked up on celebrity mourning last week.

2009-07-07T16:37:00.000-07:00

Fuuuuck.... This in the most retarded, convoluted, incoherent, rambling groupings of words ever assembled. Originally, I was going to challenge our viewers on making heads or tails of what the hell Sarah Palin's talking about in this speech; but since that is clearly not possible, I've downgraded the challenge to actually just listening the whole thing without your brain exploding. Let me know how long you're able to hold out in the comments section below.

SWAGGAPEDIA: A HISTORIC TIMELINE OF THE WORD "SWAGGER" (By Nicky Vecki)

2009-07-07T14:57:00.000-07:00

•1569 Charles IX of France made his brother Henry a Generalissimo and presents him with a staff-like swagger stick to signify his appointment.

•1702 "Swagger sticks" evolved from the "leading cane" prescribed for British officers. On parade, this cane was used for leading men. But it was also used administering on-the-spot punishment of up to 12 strokes for minor violations of regulations.

•1800s In the Marine Corps, the swagger stick came into vogue in the latter part of the 19th century, and was a required article of uniform until WWI.

•1981 Jimmy Swaggart began a daily television program entitled "A Study in the Word." The program was aired on over 160 channels throughout the U.S., Canada and abroad.

•2000 "Swagger" is the first full studio album by band Flogging Molly.

•2007 Pop artist M.I.A. releases her song "Paper Planes," featuring the line, "No one on the corner have swagger like us."

•2008 T.I., Jay-Z, and Lil' Wayne release thier hit song titled "Swagger Like Us."

•2008 Old Spice releases an under-arm deoderant called Swagger. Commercials for the product feature rapper-actor L.L. Cool J and NASCAR driver Tony Stewart.

•2008 Soulja Boy Tellem releases his self-titled album featuring the songs, "Booty Got Swag"(Donk Part 2), and "Turn My Swag On."

•2009 Snickerdoodles McPoppycock coins the phrase Swaggerballin'.

•2009 Lil' King releases his Internet hit titled, "I Got Swag."

there IS hope for the future of music...

2009-07-07T14:33:00.000-07:00

on this, the day of the Michael Jackson funeral/memorial, i felt the need to post this clip to make sure you all know that the future of music is in good hands. There is no way anyone will ever be able to match the things MJ did for music/entertainment, but i think you will agree that the combo in this clip are picking up very near where Michael left off...

Least Necessary Rap Song of the Year

2009-07-03T14:50:00.000-07:00

When I read the CNN story about The Game's Michael Jackson song, I was expecting a "We Are The World" style tribute to MJ. The Game makes it sound like he broke out the Rolodex and brought everyone from Quincy Jones to Lionel Richie down to the studio. Instead, you get a barely audible Mario Winans and a Boyz II Men cameo. The star power on this track almost melted my laptop. Basically, this is a Game solo record, although Puff makes a brief vocal appearance-- literally phoning it in like Hell Rell at the end of Diplomatic Immunity. Honestly, I'm surprised that Puffy isn't trying to milk MJ's death for cash like he did BIG's (maybe a half-sung joint over an "I'll Be There" loop with a Danity Kane club track on the B-side). Anyway, all profits from The Game's MJ song go to the Jackson family. Considering Michael's estate is worth in excess of one billion dollars, I can't think of more deserving recipients.

2009-06-30T23:47:00.000-07:00

Okay, get ready to see the most embarrassing thing you've ever seen; -It sent a cold chill down my spine. This right here is about to be a hot mess...-A scalding, boiling, piping hot MEZZZ! Seriously; I'm not even joking here, -this lady in the Louisiana state legislature decided it was a good idea to take time out of the official procedings, in order to have Hurricane Chris spit a few verses of his hot new single 'HALLE BERRY (halle berry)'. In addition to all of the obvious reasons this is complete absurdity, the motherfucker didn't even have the courtesy to provide them with the instumental dat tape!!! -Are you fucking kidding me!!?? No joke, I buried my face in my hands when watching this. Click here for the full clip...-Actually, on second thought, don't. Go read a book or something.
