411| Michael Vick freed

The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback has been released from the Kansas prison he had called home since being convicted of organizing an illegal dogfighting ring. He will remain confined to this house for a period of time and is looking forward to beginning a campaign with animal activists to deter youth from the illegal sport. More here @ CNN. Being a pet owner myself, I understand the severity of the situation. But i still felt this story was blown out of proportion. One of my professors was amazed at how the media and regular human beings were bombarding Vick and his name for the then-alleged charges; yet, a human life is taken and we sit look with pity as we continue living our lives. What happened to the media frenzy for Oscar Grant, which you have not heard about since. I'm not saying we should just allow the senseless killing of any creature, but why do we seem to place value on certain lives over others.

SOS | You're hotter than a summer day in California

Perfect track for a summer jam. The original is dope, but this bumps for the jeeps. Remember when those were the rides to have; with the no doors.

'87 | When you go, they stay with me until the end

I vaguely remember hearing this as a kid, and then came across it a few months ago. Video is sooooooo 80s, but the song was a big hit for Herb Alpert. Again that Jam/Lewis combination w/ Janet on the hook = DIAMOND

They just don't DANCE like they use to in videos these days.

LOL | Slumdog Price is Right

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Much needed laughter this morning from CollegeHumor via TSS.

'94 | Everytime I'm with you

Before she was Misdemeanor, Melissa Elliott was 1/4 of the group Sista. Structured as the female version of Jodeci by producer Devante Swing, the ladies had "Brand New" as the debut single off their never released album 4 All the Sistas Around Da World. Song goes hard; enjoy the remix as well with special guest the late great Static.

411 | Now we'll never know

The word has spread about the abrupt death of up-and-coming rapper Dolla. According to ew.com Dolla, aka Roderick Anthony Burton II, 21, was shot outside a shopping center in Los Angeles. Sounds like Burton was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's insane to think he and I are the same age, both pursuing our dreams through different means. Life is truly not promised. More here.

SOS | Take You Out

What can you say about Luther that has already been said. His staying power was incredible; people of all ages were grooving to this playful ditty. Folks nowadays make hits for the moment; folks in the day made songs forever.

New New | We the West

Dj Quik & Kurupt prep for the return of the West coast with "9x's Outta 10." Supplied by Nah Right.

? | Obama affect on Wisteria Lane

As season 5 concluded last night (whose behind the veil?) I sat in anticipation for the next season. What things will come in season 6. New conflicts will surely arise as Bree releases her inner naughty girl; and, Gaby will butt heads with the niece from bombshell hell. And the comedy will increase with the thought of Lynette and another set of twins. But with the departure of Dave and Edie, there leaves space for a new neighbor on Wisteria Lane. Since my president is black, and its been long overdue (since the Applewhites) why can't the next character be black too. I think it would not only liven up the hit show for next season, but reflect a more accurate depiction of America. I'm not asking for the Cosbys to move in; maybe, the Winslows. Or perhaps a single character, like Blair Underwood via Sex and the City to woo a Wisteria woman.

PBP | Kelis + Mary Jane Girls =

Set for release on May 26th. "So Good" was nice but I'm not that impressed.

'98 | That thing

I wish her heart was still in rhyming.

PBP | Bon Qui Qui is the poor man's Bunifa

Debra Wilson is a beast.

411 | Adult Love Affair

Sighted @ RapRadar. Rumor has been confirmed; Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys are a couple. Never saw Keys as the other woman, though there is something in her eye. Shall I dare say it makes her somewhat...hotter.

411 | Lakers fizzle Rockets; Orlando upsets Boston

Game 7's have concluded. Give way to Western and Eastern Conference Finals. I'm predicting a Cavs/Nuggs finale. Yeah I said it. And for those who didn't make it.....SORRY

'90 | Let me tell it to you from the start boy

The original is a classic one hit wonder, but this remix and its various others are too sick. The intro sends me in every time. The grit in her voice is too cold.
