2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cyphers

Good mornin' internets!
Did you know that the BET Hip-Hop Awards was last night?
No?  Me either.

Anyway...those of us over the age of 20 with any taste know that there is only one part of that fuckfest worth watching: The Cypher.  SO...let's cut through the bullshit and get right to the spittin'...

Reek Da Villain, Zawcain, and Mickey Factz

Don't know the first 2 cats, but they were OK.  Factz did what we all know Factz can do.  No surprises there.

Next one has a dope concept.  Ice Cube with his 2 sons, OMG (Ha!) and Dough Boy (SUPER HA!).  Rev. Run with his boys, Diggy & JoJo

Who decided to put Royce on with these people.  Seriously?
And if you've ever heard Diamond do anything (consider yourself lucky if you haven't), you know she didn't write that shit.

Wiz Khalifa, Bones Brigante, Yelawolf and Raekwon

I really don't understand the Wiz Khalifah hype.  He might be the current crown-holder for Most Overrated young rapper.  Yelawolf, huh?!  Really want to be a fan...kid can spit, but the actual songs just don't do anything for me.  3 Cheers/Jeers to Raekwon for being the EXACT same emcee for 15yrs.

Aaaaaaaand the main event!  G.O.O.D. Music:  Kanye West, Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi The Prince and Common

Where was Consequence?!  Dope anyway.  That's alotta bars for ONE record label.  Good for CyHi to step up on this one.  Probably the most exposure he's gotten in his career so far.

And there we have it folks.  Now you don't have to TiVo through 2hrs of marble-mouthed southern rappers talking about god knows what.  15yr olds, doing dances on national television that would embarrass a minstrel performer, and trophies being awarded for songs that are 90% hook.

Ruff, Rugged & Roker

I don't even have anything to add...this is just perfect.

Suzanne Vega x The Roots - Tom's Diner

Wait...
How the hell did this happen and I didn't know immediately?!

The Boondocks: Season 3 Trailer

I like to think I know you, my readers, pretty well.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if I told you that the official trailer for season 3 of The Boondocks was here, and "Exhibit C" was the backdrop...you're gonna click play.

Call it a hunch.

Corinne Bailey Rae - Closer (Live on The Letter Men)

::Afraid to say anything,
as it may result in me being cut in my sleep::

Archer?

Are you watching Archer?
You better be.

Because if its cancelled for low ratings, and I find out that you weren't watching...
I'm coming to your house myself, and I'm gonna let out the funk.
You don't want that.
So watch Archer.

Luda on The Fallons...

Wow, what a horrible song, Ludacris.
BUT...I had to share this because ?uestlove on the voice-changer thing is too funny.
And I love how the usual batch of hipsters that stand behind the performance space on Fallon have no clue how to move to this song.  Great viewing stuff.

Tracy Morgan x Jimmy Kimmel - Impregn8ed

"Girl, you 'bout to get a baby in you."

Tracey is the King.
King of what?  I don't know.
But the King, nonetheless.

Neon Indian - Terminally Chill / Ephemeral Artery (Live on The Falloner Bed-Time Show)

Granted, the way Neon Indian name things (including themselves) make me want to puch them in their band face....BUT, I think they did themselves a HUGE favor with this performance last night on The Fallons.
Vampire Weekend status by the end of the month.

Random Thoughts #5: Doracialist?!

Countdown to the "Why the single mom gotta be Black" protests:
5...4...3...2...1...

FLASHBACK: The Roots - Here I Come

Only because I imagine a few of you were unaware that the Fallon theme was derived from something else . . .so there you go.

Black Thought = The Troof

Hot Chip x The Roots - One Life Stand (Live on Sleepy Time With Johnny Fallon)

It's like the two planets I live on crashed into eachother.

Snookie Interviews Phoenix at That Award Show You Didn't Watch

MTV Shows

My brain.
It weeps.
It sings songs of lamentation in Fratalian.

"Jersey Shore" Pople on Today Show to Announce Season 2

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

(Yeah, nothing to talk about today)

Most underrated side effect of this show:  After the RIDICULOUS boost this is gonna bring to Jersey shore tourism...where the hell am I supposed to go to the beach this summer and NOT have it crawling with a) Guidos auditioning for the next episode, or b) pseudo-anthropologist gawkers heading down to look at the "locals" like they were a zoo exhibit?  Efph, man.

Grandmaster B Is In Full Effect.

Just to give you an idea of how little I plan on doing at work today...
I'm at my desk watching the episode of Married...With Children when Bud turned himself into a "gangsta rapper".  By far the funniest episode of one of the top 10 sitcoms of all time.

SuperNews: Outta Control Pubes

Proof that there really isn't anything going on today.
Won't lie...that's some funny shit, though.

Ben Hoffman: Leno vs. Conan

Ben Hoffman is a true source of inspiration.
Hoffman in 2012!

Japandroids - Wet Hair (Live on Fallon)

I'm late on this.  I think this was Monday night.  Didn't know they were on with ol' Fallon.

You have to love Japandroids, right??
They're so perfect in their nothingness.*
They're like the ultimate in that class of bands you go see at your local spot that has the musty smell, poster covered bathrooms, and one too many flannel shirts.  I love that place.

Side note:  I imagine French kissing a French girl tastes a little like hickory smoke and fear.

*  Good grief, that was the most Pitchforkian thing I've said in months.  Feel free to kick my ass.

Clipse x The Roots on Nighty Night With Joey Fallon

Craaaaazy bonus verse from Black Thought.
They got together for "Popular Demand" as well.
