In the latest of an ongoing series that will include the best…or worst…fails of the week from the world of hip-hop, sports, pop culture and beyond, I examine Kanye’s fiasco of a “Today Show” appearance, 50’s new, incredibly unlikely collabo, J. Cole’s non-existent mixtape and more…
This has absolutely nothing to do with hip-hop, but it’s just too good not to share. A planned demolition of an abandoned smokestack in Ohio went just about as wrong as it could go when the smokestack fell the wrong way, knocking down several power lines and destroying buildings (luckily no one was hurt). My favorite part? When the excitement turns to fear and everyone starts running. God I could watch this all day.

Yeah Kanye Didn't owe anyone an apology and I think he was leaning towards that during the interview but the way Lauer painted the picture, he made it seem that Bush didn't deserve to be called a racist. I think Kanye was going to say "sorry, I said that because I felt strongly about it. But what I said still stands". I think Ye felt very uneasy because, lets face it, Matt Lauer can be a real D-Bag to certain artist. So when they played the clip he felt like he was being attacked, I understand that. I'm sure he wants to put September 14, 2009 behind him. |

Oh yeah and I'm currently beefing with Lil Wayne for not responding to that fan letter I never sent him while he was in prison. |

Believe it or not, that video made me a 50 fan for the first time in years; definitely not a fail of the week. Mr. Cent may not be releasing any great music as of late, but the man's fucking hilarious. |

^ We're actually in complete agreement. As I wrote, it's a fail in terms of his street cred, but; "On the other hand, if you don’t take it too seriously it is pretty hilarious, and it was probably one of the greatest days of this kid’s life. " |

One more you might be able to add is that Jay Electronica signed to RocNation in a week, after Diddy has been trying to sign him for months. #fail |

Wow. Just wow. George Bush "was directly or indirectly responsible for the death of thousands of people following Hurricane Katrina"? By what logic? Residents had been told to evacuate - many didn't? Was that Bush's fault? The mayor locked himself in a hotel room, contacted a radio station, and cried. Was that Bush's fault? The governor didn't allow the Feds to move in because (and this is rich) she didn't want to give the impression she - a feminist - was being pushed around by a bunch of men. Was that Bush's fault? The liberal media lied every step of the way, to make another (bogus) case that Bush was incompetent, allowing rapes and murder to occur with no response - none of it true. Was that Bush's fault? You guys seem to have bought it - hook, line & sinker. Is that Bush's fault? Here's Bush's take on the whole thing. And here's mine. Who am I? I Am The Crack Emcee. |

Oh - and I forgot: New Orleans had been given money, for decades, to fix the levies but they squandered it elsewhere, long before Katrina hit. Was the Bush's fault? |
