Brandon T. Jackson and Eve herself spoof the Twilight saga. Hilarity ensues.
Dark Moon (Twilight)
February 9, 2010 by Brando“Sarah Palin Is A F*cking Retard”
February 9, 2010 by BrandoColbert weighs in on Sarah Palin’s actions at the Tea Party Convention over the weekend. Palin threw in a few jabs here and there about Obama being “charismatic when reading a teleprompter” and asking the people who voted for him, “how’s that hopey changey stuff now?”
You can’t chop on somebody who reads a bunch of items off a teleprompter when you have to write four talking points down on your hand. That and what “satire” is there if somebody just outright calls someone a retard when he actually MEANS it?
How To Make It In America (Episode 1)
February 9, 2010 by Brando
Kinda like Entourage if only nobody was famous and everyone had a little hipster mentality in them. Features Kid Cudi who is actually a regular on the show which is a good look for him. Official debut comes on Valentines’ Day. Props to DatNewCuDi.
Hit the jump for the mixtape inspired by the show featuring my new theme music, “I Need A Dollar” by Aloe Blacc.

Wale – Pretty Girls (featuring Gucci Mane) [Video]
February 8, 2010 by Brando
I feel pretty good knowing that some things out of XXL’s Freshman Class is coming through. Like B.O.B. getting radio play down here in Texas and now this, Wale getting support on BET. Folks who think this is brand new out to be aware that the album dropped in November and if you haven’t heard this song – request it for the love of god.
Also, free Gucci so he can actually have a rap career.
It’s The Real – They Reminisce Over ‘Ye

Curren$y – Smokee Robinson (Mixtape)
February 8, 2010 by Brando
Whether the Saints won the Super Bowl or not (they did), Spitta was gonna release the tape. With some genius promo work leading up to it, no fan should leave disappointed. Teammates include Big Sean, Chip Tha Ripper, Wiz Khalifa, Nipsey Hu$$le, Dom Kennedy and more. Head Coach on the tape would be Don Cannon. Ownership? J-E-T-S FOOL. Props to Shake for putting this together for all the iPod geeks out there. Enjoy.
Tracklist x Download Link after the jump.

Let’s go Saints, pull through.
Graffiti-N-Hydro x Jay-Von x Young Sea
February 6, 2010 by Brando
“I think it’s coming back, back to the lyrics man.”
After a brief (and I do mean brief hiatus) there’s more Mo. City music for the masses. A slight setback only leads to a major comeback as both Young Sea & Jay-Von have decided to take a different approach and enlist more than just themselves in showcasing Mo City. Even a Missy beat from 2005 isn’t safe when tackled by the trio.
Who says Texas is all about dancing?

Diddy – O Let’s Do It (Video)
February 6, 2010 by Brando
The King of Diamonds himself decided to shoot a video for his verse off of Fozzy Bear’s breakthrough single. Safe to say it’s Diddy’s best verse in a while?
Erykah Badu – Window Seat
February 6, 2010 by Brando
While pushing through another workout, I turned the click wheel all the way back to 1997 and listened to Baduizm and realized that there are a growing number of women who are earthy as fuck springing out the wood works. Or, they’ve already been there and I’m just now finding out.
Judging by this track here along with her previous offering with Weezy, New Amerykah Part II: Return Of The Ankh should make you believe its ‘97 all over again.

Throwback Friday: A Different Side of Dallas Edition
February 5, 2010 by Brando
Way back when, Dallas wasn’t about just dance music. For a second folks thought it was Houston’s illegitimate brother (see DSR, Tum Tum & Big Tuck for examples) but before that – it was home to The D.O.C. Yes, Dr. Dre plucked him from Dallas and made him an unofficial member of NWA but let’s be clear – D.O.C. is from Dallas, plain and fucking simple.
Ludacris – My Chick Bad (featuring Nicki Minaj)
February 5, 2010 by Brando
Well, the original idea for Battle of the Sexes was for Luda to wax poetics with Shawnna over a lot of Mars & Venus relations but now, it’s Cris by himself tackling all of women kind with a little help from the likes of Nicki Minaj and other females in the industry. A better move in my opinion. LowKey from UHTN said that this was one of the best tracks on the album (the lucky bastard got to sit in while they were mixing the album) and I must agree with him.
UPDATE: Tagless drop. Thanks Luda.
NBC’s At It Again
February 5, 2010 by Brando
As if the folks at the peacock didn't do enough PR damage with the Conan O'Brien/Jay Leno Tonight Show fiasco, here is the lunch offer over at NBC in celebration of Black History Month twit pic’d by our favorite drummer in the world, Questlove of The Roots. While the pic may be out, of course NBC would be swift to run some damage control.
The black man in me is asking, where the hell is the bacon, Kool-Aid or grape soda but given the nature of this … even my blackness won’t permit me to like this.
