Asher Roth – The Reading (Video)

This is a new video for a pretty old song. I’m not complaining, though. Lyrics below:

LYRICS:
I’m a blood suckin, drug puffin’ thug frontin’, love muffin’
Why ma’am that’s quite nice, yeah sure I’d love muffins
Warm from the oven covered honey oat and butter nut
Bake about 100 cause I’m coming with my buddies (what up)
We don’t mean to butt in, but there’s nothing better coming up
Pack it in forget it ya strap on in, buckle up
Nothing but the truth, I’m telling you the truth
Hip-hop is still alive, and I am living proof
And in order to improve we must kill it at the root
Shooting for the knees not until you see these pupils
Youthful of useful youthful exuberance
Music refutes that abuses the rules
And of freedom of speech well freedom to speak
Let’s see that as free time build em and teach
Yeah read it and weep cause reading increases your knowledge and ideas dealing in the street
While college is fine, and the library’s vital god is the bomb, and LeVar is my idol
Crime story, mind story, autobiography, short story, long story, novel, or comedy
Non-fiction rythme spittin nonsense now not an option squashed it (squashed) stop it (stop)
The not has been noddin’ they noddin’ they noggins, and now the real start of the truth
So move with the movement, movement of humans
Using the tools we were born with
Or you can forfeit your fortunes to the less fortunate
Unfortunately the poor kids are forced to form they thoughts on things formally taught to them it seems to be the least important part to think and dream believing things could never get any better than this
So rejecting intellect neglecting interest the internet becomes a nest of sex
Best described as extra time to emphasize what mom and papa tried to hide
Eject the desktop inject the Xbox
And let’s not stop there watch this head-shot and watch they head pop open and then drop to the floor keep going cause nobody said stop
Our only hope is the music they listening to influencing they intution ability to
Recognize between right and wrong it’s either hit or miss no intermission and intermission is on
A light goes on an idea to volunteer my time, my mind, my rythme defines the finer things in life decide to write a positive vibe acknowledging the might of the rhyme
I am ash-er-roth

Beyonce Reportedly Lip-Synched Her Inauguration Performance

From NY Post, Page Six:

Beyonce Knowles’ flawless performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the inauguration was entirely lip-synched, Page Six has confirmed. A rep for the United States Marine Band revealed that she decided to perform to a pre-recorded track at the last minute.

“All music is pre-recorded for the ceremony because there are so many eventualities and conditions that day,” Kristin DuBois, a rep for the band tells Page Six. “We performed, live, the band. But we received last-minute word that Beyonce was going to use the pre-recorded vocal track. Those were the instructions we were given. We don’t know what the (sic) reason why.”

The news will surely shock those who watched the emotional performance. At one point, Beyonce even dramatically removed her earpiece – which now seems even more ludicrous, as she wasn’t even making any noise.

A rep for Kelly Clarkson, however, tells Page Six, “Kelly did sing live!”

Common sits down with  Vulture and tells them that G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Wintercompilation is probably not going to happen.

Does G.O.O.D. Music really have a Cruel Winter album coming?
Oh, yeah, nah, nah. I don’t think that’s happening. It was more of a rumor — cats been creating, but everybody’s been doing their solo album. So that’s what that is

Common Speaks on his next album:

What can people expect?
New beginnings, new energy. You can expect to hear me rapping on music that you never heard me rapping on before. It’s gonna be fresh. It’s gonna be original.

Who’s working on that?
I’m definitely looking at some of the producers like Travi$ Scott, No I.D., 88-Keys, Hit-Boy. This has been the first time I’m open to working and not having just one, two producers and that’s it.

Wes Walker’s Wife Airs Out Ray Lewis On Facebook

As the Ravens continued their goal for a Super Bowl title after beating the New England Patriots, Wes Welker’s wife took to Twitter to ‘remind’ or ‘enlighten’ folks of Ray Lewis’ checkered history:

“Proud of my husband and the Pats…by the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis’ Wikipedia page. 6 kids, 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!”

Well, she ended up deleting the post while replacing it with an apology of sorts, which was probably coerced:

“I’m deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook. I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday’s game.

“It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams.”
