Kobe Says He'd Beat LeBron 1 on 1

This is straight up, unashamed arrogance at its finest (I mean that in a good way ); classic Kobe man. His response came without hesitation. What a competitor. He didn't doubt himself for one second. Even if you don't like him you have to respect that.

FOD "Every Little Step" Remake w/ Mike Tyson & Wayne Brady

Every Little Step with Mike Tyson & Wayne Brady from Mike Tyson

Funny or Die got Mike Tyson and Wayne Brady together for a remake of Bobby Browns "Every Little Step."  Wayne's got some dance moves but Mike and Bobby stole the show. If you're at work I suggest covering your mouth with your hand. Otherwise, risk looking foolish as you laugh uncontrollably in your cubicle. 

Here's the original:

"To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now."

Drake Brings Out J.Cole At Radio City

Jay-Z's "Decoded" Book Cover

Start saving up. Decoded is scheduled to be released on November 16th. Here's what Jay has to say:

“When I first started working on this book, I told my editor that I wanted it to do three important things. The first was to make the case that hip-hop lyrics—not just my lyrics, but those of every great MC—are poetry if you look at them closely enough. The second was I wanted the book to tell a little bit of the story of my generation, to show the context for the choices we made at a violent and chaotic crossroads in recent history.  And the third piece was that I wanted the book to show how hip-hop created a way to take a very specific and powerful experience and turn it into a story that everyone in the world could feel and relate to.”

J. Cole's "The Plan" off NBA Elite '11

Can't wait for the commercials.

NBA 2K11: "MJ Present Day" Trailer

Here's another NBA 2K'11 commercial with the same guys minus D. Rose and Rondo. I don't think people understand how good the basketball games coming out this year are going to be. I think I might get ahead in all my classes just so I can enjoy 2K11 and Elite '11 when they both drop on 10/5.  I'm very competitive so challengers are welcome but you will all meet the same fate.  Check out another trailer made by a fan below:
