Mickey Factz Performs "Alpha" @ UCLA



Love the camera work for this one. It feels so surreal with Mickey jumping around and the crowd vibin.

Lamar Odom Resigns with the Lakers, Hitler and Nazi Army Are Happy



This one's for my Laker-loving dad, who has been a fan long enough to remember when Stalin vetoed a trade that would have sent Elgin Baylor to the Celtics for 12 future 2nd round picks and cash considerations.

Ok, maybe not that long, but at least before the internet was invented. That one is true.

David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez Reported to Have Tested Postitive for PED's




Click here for more on the story.

Wow, does this now help to explain the power outage that was seen at the beginning of the season from the Big Papi? This does dampen the thoughts about how both Ramirez and Ortiz contributed to ending the curse in Boston in 2004 and the championship that the won together in 2007. Are every World Series teams from the past two decades now going to be in question due to the numerous reported links to alleged steroid users? It seems like we are headed in that direction. I know that some writer's have hinted at the thought of both Dominican sluggers being users ever since Manny failed a drug test and was suspended earlier this year (such as one Bill Simmons eerily suggested), but I don't beleive anyone thought that definative proof would actually come out so soon. Hopefully all of the rest of the names on the list can come out so that the baseball world doesn't have to play as many guessing games as it has had ove these past recent years.


It's too bad some of the game's best moments in recent memory had to be caught up with this whole ordeal.

Big Sean - Getcha Some



G.O.O.D Music Stand Up...

Here's a video off of Big Sean's mixtape, "UKnowBIGSean Vol. 2"...
I feel like the video is better than the song but it's all good...
I thought Big Sean should have made a video for "Million Dollars" because it's an overall better song, but he decided to run with this track... EnJoY!

Kid Cudi ft. Kanye West & Common - Make Her Say (I Poke Her Face)



Ok, so it's not Drake's Breast I Ever Had, but it is kinda stylistic with the different shots and camera angles. I'm not too impressed, but Cudi's verse on the clean version is almost un-listen-to-able because of the censorship. Damn you FCC. Oh yeah, and there's a shameless DJ Hero plug at the end of the video. I hope tht game is legit. I can see where they totally can screw that concept up.

Pac Div - Church League Champions




If you're a steady follower of ADA then you already know that I'm a fan of what Pac Div brings to the table. Hailing from L.A. this trio comes correct with their newly released mixtape Church League Champions. This mixtape is chock full of bass-muffling tracks with some ill rhyme schemes. Some of the highlights from the mixtape include the songs Mayor, No No, and Knuckleheadz. See for yourself why so many have high hopes for this group's future.

Freestyle O' The Day - Kid Cudi



Cudder's cuts it up with Tim Westwood while in UK for a few performances last week.

Cudder fact: Super Duper Scott is in fact from Cleveland, Ohio and NOT the UK.

Update: It looks like Kid Cudi's debut album Man on the Moon:The End of Day will be pushed back from its original release date of August 25 to September 15. I know, it's disappointing.

ALCHEMIST - Chemical Warfare


I really don't know where to start on this album... Off top, let me just say that this album is insane... Alchemist went crazy on the production of this album, from the beats, features, and the overall feel of the album... The sound of this album is so diverse & it's refreshing because you won't get sick of hearing the same type of tracks...

I highly recommend this album to anyone who is looking for a breath of fresh air in hip hop... Alchemist definitely delivers with the features including: Blu, KiD CuDi, Talib Kweli, KRS-One, Pusha T, Kool G Rap, Eminem, Fabolous, Maxwell, Prodigy, need I say more... If you aren't motivated to listen to this album by that lineup alone then go hang yourself ASAP...


BOTTOM LINE: Alchemist is a force to be reckoned with and he ain't playin' with these other whack producers... Cop this album NOW...

Game Apoligizes to 50, G-Unit



It's a shame that G-Unit had to brak apart. They were on top of their game, but now ,in my opinion, they are considered has-been's, especially with what 50 has been putting out lately.
