In honor of the H-Town Sneaker Summit being days away (or just because it was only right to do one of these), Joe La Puma and the guys over at Complex unveil the “Shit Sneakerheads Say” video, adding to an already impressive meme which has owned 2012 so far.

With Kanye’s rampant Twitter stream as a guiding point, Jimmy Kimmel took to the airwaves to premiere what may possibly be the first ad for the rapper’s possible think tank company “DONDA”. Of course with 22 divisions and a creator who does nothing short of grandiose, it’s a very skeptical idea. Nevertheless, Yeezy may actually do something with this. He is hiring, you know.

The “Shit (insert demographic here) Say” viral meme has gone through the roof, both infuriating races with a microscopic eye and inciting hilarity from those who just happen to find the daily interactions of human’s funny. Billy Sorrells already has gone done in the annals of YouTube history with “Shit Black Girls Say”, so much so that a quick sequel had to be made.
The latest adventure into the world of “Crazy Things Race, Religion Or Sexual Creed Say” offers a glimpse into the world of Caucasian women obviously influenced by too much Love & Hip-Hop or because they somehow found it awesome to go to an HBCU. We’re not hating on either form of that but random questions about hair, do you know every black person, the incessant use of the word “ghetto” to describe everything – we’ve seen it and heard it before, thus it must be mocked. Repeatedly.
Creator Chesca Leigh says she created the parody down below not to say that all white women (with black friends) do this but some do. Almost in the same way every Italian woman doesn’t act like Snooki from Jersey Shore and that’s fine. Just nobody toss on their 1960s “Segregation Forever” underwear on in protest of this fine piece of comedy.
It’s only a matter of time before CBS tries to make a show out of “Shit Girls Say” the same way they tried & failed with Shit My Dad Says.

Never in my wildest dreams did I believe Tyga could escape “Coconut Juice” and become a household name. Thanks to viral videos like these, you see that even the family can treat his strip club hit “Rack City” like it’s a game of Wii Sports. The fact this kid got his grandmother to COOK and dance to it is either disturbing or hilarious. We’ll go somewhere in the middle as the kid does decide to lay in a few N-bombs since it’s in the song.
Grandma was probably doing the whop back in the day, now that we think about it.

Comedian Billy Sorrells knows women. He’s a Kappa for God’s sakes so he’s gone through all the jokes and ideas that run through a black woman’s head. Him attempting to show the world what actually goes through the mind of a black girl however? Ultimate comedy.
Basketball Wives, Drake lyrics, love, repeating “bitch” in 9 different scenarios, all of these things are common in the book of black women and Billy breaks it all down, one hilarious and sometimes disturbing moment at a time.

Election Year is almost upon us and you know who is merely dusting off his AK ready to chop down his potential opponents? Baracka Flocka Flame. The President has been lying low with all of these various Senate meetings, the House unable to pass an extension on the tax cut bill, Kim Jong-Il biting the dust and more.
In the cutthroat world of politics, sometimes you need a split personality to help keep things in perspective. O has Baracka Flocka and the military to balance his sanity. Remember “Head Of The State”? Exactly, you know how BFF gets down and when he gets the 1995 Source Awards as his muse, all bets are all when it comes to his enemies. Lupe Fiasco gets mentioned, same for Herman Cain, “lying ass bitch” Michelle Bachmann, Palin, McCain and others all in an epically venomous diss that could be felt all the way from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

As an iPhone guy, I already have issues with updating a 4 to a 4S when the 5 is on the horizon. Especially when the main selling point is a built in advisor named Siri who has a history of saying ridiculous things. “Sh*t Siri Says” is easily a great morning pick-me-up but “The Notorious Siri” takes the cake. An Apple device reciting lyrics of the great Christopher Wallace? Sign me up.
Here’s how the creator set this all up:
My hack for the Music Hack Day 2011 in London, a 24h Hackathon for all things music.
SiriProxy is used to intercept the communication with Apple’s servers. Notorious Siri then sends Notorious B.I.G.’s Hypnotize to the device.
Siri’s speech synthesis is synced to the beat using the timestamps obtained from the Echonest API which were then manually tweaked, to smooth out delays in the text-to-speech engine.
Boom. Now watch below and prepare to think it’s 1997.

YouTube will go down as the single greatest invention ever if things like this exist in the world. We’ll let the fine folks at Clutch explain this one, not to mention TSS‘ comment section absolutely having a field day with this.
During the song, Jesus Daughter takes shots at gospel duo Mary Mary and says they need to save souls instead of “standing in front of the camera and look cute all day long.” Who knew the Lawd doesn’t want you to look good (which…explains the video?). Jesus’ Daughter also takes aim at Jay-Z and T.I., two self-proclaimed hip hop kings (perhaps she has another joint calling out Yeezy, Lil Wayne, and the rest?)

Until Viacom decides to be Viacom, allow yourself to sit back for nearly an hour and watch Donald Glover do the other thing he seems to be really good at, tell jokes on stage. Commercial free, “Weirdo” marks the end of a strange week for Glover since his hit show ‘Community’ got the axe by NBC, the CAMP album by his rapping alter ego Childish Gambino was released to rave reviews and then there’s “Weirdo” where Glover takes time to speak on the campaign to make him the new Spiderman, Kanye robots, the iPhone spell check when it comes to the “N-Word” and them some. Peep it down below.

The Republican Presidential Nominee process has been filled with scandal, interruptions and surprises. One of them being Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza is currently leading the candidates. Despite going through a series of gaffes at the hands of accusers who claim he sexually harassed them a decade ago, Cain has remained steadfast to his campaign beliefs and hopes of securing the 2012 nomination.
And then “Iron” Mike Tyson decided to do Herman Cain better than possibly he ever could. Tyson as Cain equates to being crazier than a “shit house rat”, whatever that means. Just watch and prepare to get your laugh on.
