Young Berg has got to be hands down the biggest idiot in Hip Hop. Actually, I take that back Young Berg is the biggest idiot in Pop. 'Cause we all know damn well this tween is not Hip Hop. In fact, I can only think of one Young Berg song. He's just that irrelevant.
After being bitch-slapped by Maino at a club in the A you think he would sit his ass down somewhere, but no. Instead of talking smack about rappers he's ventured off to the R & B world. In a recent video, he insults R & B singer/songwriter Ne Yo. Now I've poked fun of Ne Yo a couple of times, but it was all in good fun. I honestly can't hate on Ne Yo's hustle, plus I'm planning on attending one of his shows later tonight lol. Young Berg, on the other hand just has a severe case of diarrhea of the mouth. Check out Young Berg's idiotry in the video below.

Mouse In My House.
A few months after I moved into my current apartment I came to the realization that we have mice. For any female (and some males) that's a problem, a huge problem at that. They're nasty, they're scary, they're just plain disgusting. They also make annoying scratching noises at night that make you mad paranoid.
But this week, I realized something. Some of our most beloved childhood characters/cartoons are mice. I mean really, how can you be afraid of Fievel or Mickey and Minnie Mouse?! I'm onto something aren't I? And although I would like to be rid of these creatures the thought of Fievel running around my room is mildly amusing.
Lastly, I would like to dedicate this blog to my roommate Ashleigh for whom the mice have found a nice home in her closet full of Nine West's.

November 4!!!
Do you ever have those moments where you really just want to laugh your ass off? Personally, I have them quite often lol. Earlier today, I was browsing through the videos at Funny Or Die and I came across this video which I thought was pretty hilarious. Check it out.
Don't forget November 4! Let's make history :o)
Oh and LMAO @ John McCain's facial expressions.

Flobots
So I was on my computer earlier tonight and I was kind of half watching Late Night With Conan O'Brian and the musical guest for the show came on. I wasn't really paying too much attention to the performance, but then I started listening to it and I was really feeling it.
It was this group out of Denver, Colorado and they're called Flobots. They have a Hip Hop meets rock kinda sound. Here's the video for "Rise", the song they performed on Conan's show...

Read This Book!
Among the several books I'm reading right now is James Weldon Johnson's The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. I first read the book way back in 2002 for my African American literature class. Ever since my first read back in '02 I've been trying to find a copy of the book, but to no avail. It's just one of those books you have to have in your collection, its a hands down classic.
After attending the Women In Hip-Hop event in Harlem last weekend, I stopped by one of the local Harlem books stores. While browsing around I spotted The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man and it was only $2.50! So of course I bought it.
To give you a very brief synopsis of the book, it's about a bi-racial man who is so fair that he's able to pass as a white man. So the book focuses on the choice he has between either embracing and accepting his black culture or choosing to live as a white man. So if you're in the market for a new book you should definitely check it out.

Artist On Artist: Webbafied
I've always found it interesting hearing artists perspectives on other artists so I came up with this idea called 'Artist On Artist' where artists have the opportunity to critique other artists. I've only done one so far and it was featured on We Write Blog, but the result (shown below) came out pretty well in my opinion. So you can definitely look forward to seeing more of these in the future.
Brooklyn MC Webbafied recently shared with We Write his opinion on Killer Mike's controversial video "Pressure" featuring Ice Cube for We Write's first ever Artist on Artist.
No stranger to Hip-Hop, Webbafied has worked on and released a number of projects and has the opportunity to perform at venues across the country and in Europe. He has appeared in publications such as The Source: France and has been featured on several Websites including HipHopGame.com.
WeWrite: What was your initial reaction after seeing the video/hearing the song?
Webbafied: I was moved…
WeWrite: What's your critique for "Pressure"? Are you feeling it? Is there anything you would change?
Webbafied: I think the song is tight. I love the message in the lyrics and the production. The images were very graphic. Sometimes it was a little bit too much for me to digest. I realize that it is all reality, but seeing the twin towers blow up yet again is really not for me. I like the images that directly related to the lyrics though. The Malcolm X intro and outro were the highlights of the video.
WeWrite: How do you feel about Ice Cube and Killer Mike appearing on a song together?
Webbafied: I think it’s a great look when legendary MC’s pair up with guys from the next generation. Killer Mike is not brand new on the scene but he is no where near Ice Cube’s level. What better way to become a legend, than to work with a legend.
WeWrite: Are you a fan of Killer Mike? Of Ice Cube?
Webbafied: I’m a huge Ice Cube fan. I was really into his older stuff, but I always try giving his new stuff a chance. I remember that song Killer Mike did with Outkast, but I never really checked for his solo material.
WeWrite: Do you think that a lot of mainstream artists in Hip-Hop are afraid to make videos/songs with this kind of subject matter?
Webbafied: I think they are afraid to risk their success. This kind of video would never get play on any of the major video networks. Mainstream acts have so much power, but most of them don’t utilize it.
WeWrite: What projects are you working on right now?
Webbafied: I just started a new group called TOO MANY FISH. My man Molecule does the beats and I do the rhymes.

Obama Covers The Source.
This is definitely a good look for The Source. Hopefully, they'll gain a lot of the readers they lost after Benzino screwed things up over there.

Exclusive Diddy/CIROC Pics.
Here are a few pictures from the Diddy and CIROC advertising campaign which should be in heavy rotation later on this week.
I'm not really big on advertising campaigns, but I like it. It's grown, it's classy. So it works for me. Plus, it really makes we want a drink. Probably not CIROC though, I'm too poor. Georgi and Kool-Aid maybe...Nah, I'm playing. I'll get down with some CIROC.

Amanda Diva's Got Bags...
And they are HOT!
For those of you aren't familiar with Amanda Diva, she's pretty much a Hip Hop Renaissance Woman. She's an emcee, singer, artist, journalist, poet, and radio/TV host.
Currently, she's selling these great hand-painted tote bags with really funky designs and colors. I plan on getting mine on Friday and I can't wait!!! I think I'm definitely leaning toward the last bag pictured below, the one with all the bright neon colors.
To purchase any of the bags below, check out Amanda Diva's Myspace page here.
Oh, and if you plan on purchasing a bag you might want to do it soon because they're currently half off their original price of $50, but the sale might not last much longer.
Here are just a few of the bags for sale...

Styles P Show.
This seems like it should be a pretty hot show. Still debating on whether or not I'm gonna check it out.

Eminem...Best Rapper Alive?
According to the readers of Vibe Magazine, Eminem is the best rapper alive. Although I'm sure a lot of people don't necessarily agree with the results, myself included.
Vibe created the tournament a little while ago and have been eliminating rappers based on readers votes. The final round came down to Jay Z versus Eminem, with Eminem being the obvious winner. I do like both rappers, but my vote probably would have gone to Jay-Z. Other rappers in the tournament included Kanye West, Nas, Game, Lil Wayne, and others.
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that the readers of Vibe chose Eminem. I would have thought they would have chosen Souljah Boy or D4L or something...I'm joking! Sorry, but I can never pass on a chance to poke fun of Vibe Mag. But honestly though, I really would have thought they would have chosen someone else, Nas or Jay-Z maybe. I really need to check their demographics...

Guys Are Groupies Too.
After attending Hip Hop Honors last night, I realized something. And that was the realization that guys are some of the biggest groupies out there. For real! Now I know there's a big difference between being a fan and being a groupie. But these dudes were straight up groupies!
For example...Being a fan is seeing Fat Joe and if he's in your vicinity saying what's up and giving him dap. And on the flipside, being a groupie is seeing Fat Joe from 50 feet away and making your way through a sea of people only to get a glimpse of him.
I'm tired of female fans being labeled groupies just because they're women. You have plenty of male groupies and they never get called out. So I'm calling you mofo's out right now! :-)

Sarah Palin Scares Him.
While this wasn't necessarily the funniest of Diddy's blogs, he has a point. This lady runs around questions like a pro. Sarah Palin doesn't scare me, more so irritates. Seeing her as president would be scary as hell though, like Saw V scary.
