Now watchu know about the banana and mayonnaise?

Yessuh, Yessuh. ... Goodie Mob is back!!

(Un)necessary Rap is back with a tribute to not just ATL but all Southern Rap

True Story has finally woken up out of the 9-to-5 funk to get you what you need, America.

More Cee-Lo. More Khujo. More T-Mo. More Big Gipp.

More Goodie Mob.

Turns out one of True Story's favorite acts out the Dirty and one of the most influential groups EVER in Southern Hip Hop, (besides, you know, ahem, their close friends and colleagues), who helped pave the way for classic southern artists (and conversely whatever else garbage music that is making money these days) closed the 2009 BET awards down (in their hometown, no doubt) with a throwback '95 Jam and their first classic jam "Cell Therapy"

Enjoy:

The Live Performance (And, uhm, yes. Cee-lo is wearing a jacket made of the "Jelly Shoes" Material....moving on!):



The Classic video:




In other notes, also throwin it down from the 2009 BET Awards was The Cypher, live from Greenpoint in the B-R-O, OK? L-Y-N, Come again?

Starring:

• DJ Premier
  
• Nicki Minaj (newest artist to Young Moolah)
  
• Buckshot (of Black Moon fame)
  
• Crown Royal (BET Contest Winner outta Bucktown)
  
• Joe Budden (Still bitter at Jay-z)
  
• Wale (BK chillin today)
  
• Nipsey Hussle (who honestly should just say he's one of the Doggfather's kids)
  
• GSAN (Why no pic? seriously, try to google him...you can't find him either)
  
• KRS-One (more on him in a minute...that Nike part slays us every time)
  
• Mos Def
  
• Black Thought
  
• Eminem
  

P.S. does anyone else think that KRS-One can't actually speak without freestyling anymore? Like he just speaks in rhymes?

Honestly, We aren't knockin it, on the contrary. However, why do we feel like these conversations happen on a regular basis? :

"Hey it's the Teacher! Where you goin KRS one?"
"KRS-One, gotta go to the Store! Just ran outta Milk gotta get me some More!"
"Oh.....Ok"

Anyways, now we are rambling... Git Up, Git Out and Git Somethin, America.

Enjoy, the weekend... Thank God for Friday's!

"Hold up? Born in '88? How old is that?.......Old enough."

Its been a while since you've received some (Un?)necessary Rap, so here ya go. From earlier this summer, this song by Kid Cudi, Ye, and Common (with help from the immortal Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face') hasn't gotten old whatsoever. Throw in some great split-screen editing and you have a quality video. Also, proof once again that Kanye makes up for his deplorable shenanigans with great music.

MLB 2009 Playoff Predictions

Last year didn't work out too well, so we're hoping to redeem ourselves:

AL/NLDS

Yankees over Twins in 4

-Awesome win, Minnesota, but lets be serious.

Angels over Red Sox in 5

-4th time's a charm.

Phillies over Rockies in 3

-Lee and Hamels dominate.

Cardinals over Dodgers in 5

-Cardinals just seem better.





ALCS:

Yankees over Angels in 6

-Too much firepower for the halos, as much as this makes us puke.






NLCS:

Phillies over Cardinals in 7

-Classic series goes the distance.





World Series:

Phillies over Yankees in 6

-Easily our two least favorite teams in baseball. Both have incredible lineups, but we don't think the Yanks' rotation will hold up as well as the Phillies'.

True Back-to-Back?

Just released and free to download on their website! For those of you who haven't heard these guys, this is per usual goofiness. We particularly love the percussion/xylophone.

True Story

Just another day in Berkshire County.....

Reading the Berkshire Eagle (Western Mass' newspaper), you couldn't help but come across the headline titled Officer pulls gun to ward off attacker....what a joke right? You know nothing is going on in a city when the top headline is a police officer taking a gun off his waist. But patience pays off sometimes.....Keep reading, and you are rewarded most graciously. Taken straight from Eagle reporter Conor Berry:

After that, Boody dropped to the ground and started rolling around while Colello called for assistance. More officers arrived to help subdue Boody, who continued to thrash and kick as he was handcuffed.

Boody admitted to snorting a line of cocaine at a local bar prior to his arrest.

At some point during the evening, he said, he came to the aid of an injured deer on Valentine Road. Boody told officers that he "cuddled" the small deer because it was "crying" and claimed he was shot in the head with an arrow.

Police noticed a scratch on the right side of Boody's bald head but apparently never recovered an arrow. However, officers did recover quantities of cocaine in Boody's car and in his clothing, police said.

I mean, this is just bad journalism. If this article had been titled based on the victim's point of view rather than the officer's, this would be a national headline:

"Man high on cocaine attempts to assault officer at porn shop parking lot after alleged roadkill cuddling."

OK, I'm not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite band and its a shameless plug. Don't worry about it. This one is off the new EP (of the same name) that is gaining steam with alt-rock people everywhere. No video for this one, but here is the equally as good live version.
