(Un?)Necessary Rap Wednesdays

Kanye West's 30 minute film/video for "Runaway"

After watching this America We don't have a GOT-DAMN thing to say about it.

That opening jam is pretty bangin', though.




True Kanye, Honestly.

Alternative Awesomeness

This week's choice comes from constant True Story contributor, Young Albatross. Frankly, we're not sure how we didn't come across this sooner, but let us just say that it doesn't get much better than Mr.Cee-Lo Green. We think this also places him almost in a league of his own, being one of the few people that could make both an (Un?)necessary Rap AND an Alternative Awesomeness post.



These things tend to happen when you cover Radiohead and appear on Aquemini.

Lets mix it up with the real song:



...as well as another ridiculously good cover of the same exact song, slightly altered, with Mr. 2na:

Ut-oh Cinco


From ESPN:

"The phone number is supposed to connect callers to Feed the Children, which benefits from sales of "Ochocinco's". But because the box has the wrong toll-free prefix, they get a seductive-sounding woman who makes risque suggestions and then asks for a credit card number."


Kroger Co. should have learned a very important lesson from the movie Office Space:

"Monday morning details" are decently important when putting a phone number on a cereal box.

(Un?)Necessary Rap Wednesdays

New Naughty by Nature, "I Gotta Lotta" off their upcoming 2010 "Anthem, Inc".



Just some Classic Hip Hop Honored OG's (Class of '08) holdin' down a filthy beat with a hook from one Mr. Smif.

That's it, that's all. Move Along. Nothing to see here...

...except some of that crazy Illtown flow we know you love, America.

Yes, this means YOU 'Zel.

Alternative Awesomeness



Track/video from The Roots' EXCELLENT new album from this past summer. An amazingly chill/laid back/grooved out album that you need to listen to if you want any of these feelings.....

Wait.....this sounds kind of familiar? Why is that?........

Any Alt-rock/folk fans out there?..................

Boom!




Crazy what happens sometimes when genres listen to each other, right?



When Public Enemy samples Buffalo Springfield, you realize The Roots weren't really that far off tradition with this one.

Movies to look forward to???

...we know we are.

Exhibit A:

Wait what?

From NY Mag, this is ACTUALLY going to happen:

"Previously, RZA wrote a kung fu movie with Eli Roth called The Man With the Iron Fists that he would both star in and direct, and got Universal to finance it for $20 million. Now: RZA says Russell Crowe will co-star with him in it as "the baddest man alive." Whether RZA picked Crowe because of their previous work together on American Gangster (the pair reportedly even recorded an unreleased song then), or because of Russell Crowe's natural affinity for punching things, this seems like a
fortuitously bonkers collaboration."



Where can we get this unreleased song? Please? Pretty please? RZA continues his fascination with kung fu/being awesome. In fact, this has been going on for a while now:




Exhibit B:

Excuse me?>




1. Keanu looks good, right?
2....Our reaction to this?

(Un?)Necessary Rap Wednesdays

Straight from True Story enthusiast Lady Dubbz from the land where the news never sleeps, we present to you "Bed Intruder".



Now, this video has been making the rounds all over the interwebs for some time now. And we, America, do NOT condone the initial circumstances that led to this interview and selection.

Hell, this Particular Writer sleeps like straight up Casey Jones to make sure that no one storms the True Story Castle during them evenin' time activities.


We do, however, condone gratuitous Auto-Tune Remixes.



And honestly, that unsub better take his Soul of Mischief and Chill from 93 'till Infinity, because after that video there is no doubt that "they gonna find him" so he can't bother anyone Never No More.




So you can run and tell THAT, America.
