Dogs That Look Like Tom Haverford

Tom Haverford is played by Aziz Ansari on NBC's Parks and Recreation. Whoever made this site is a genius, you can see more pictures at http://dogsthatlookliketomhaverford.tumblr.com/

Fedor 'The Last Emperor' Emelianenko vs. Dan Henderson

This has to be it for the legendary Fedor. It sure seemed that Herb Dean tried to stop the fight right when Henderson made that tradition. Either way a couple of consecutive losses for The Last Emperor should be enough for Fedor to call it quits. I have to admit Hendo's transition at the end was sexy. Hopefully Fedor doesn't drag his career out like Liddell and other have done in the past. There's no argument that Fedor is the worlds best heavyweight fighter ever.

Drake- Headlines

Drake hooks up with producer Boi-1da for his first official single off of his new album Take Care.

CM Punk On Jimmy Kimmel

Punk is making wrestling watchable again. Hilarity ensues

Amir "King" Khan on Lopez Tonight

There's so much to like about a fighter like Amir Khan. There has been a lot of questions about his chin and the way his fights have ended lately but you can't deny that he will one day be one of the best fighters in the world. He spars with Paquaio, trains with Freddie Roach and fights for his fans. This is definitely a great career in the making. This video is after he won his fight against Zab Judah this past weekend, by the way Amir is a pretty funny guy as far as I can tell from this video

Trae Tha Truth- That's Not Love ft. Lil Wayne

I'm very pumped for this album to drop, so far most of the leaked tracks have been great. Purchase your copy tomorrow when it officially releases. Update: To avoid leaks Trae put the full album up for free stream online, it can be heard here

Kate Beckinsale Is Approved!

I had an urge to watch the Underworld movies again mainly because Kate Beckinsale is probably the hottest woman to ever walk the planet. I can't believe that she's 37 years old. I think her accent is what does it for me. Hit the jump for more pictures and watch the video below of 2009's Sexiest Woman.

K. Sparks- Conundrum ft. Angelous

It has been a minute since I heard a K. Sparks track, but everything I hear from him seems to be pretty dope. I'm enjoying this track

I got no clue if this is real but it is some funny shit.

Chamillionaire is probably one of the most underrated emcee's out there, but he needs to release Venom now.

Damn! This is a really good combo, Odd Future's leader lays down a insanely good verse on this track and everything Push does lately is amazing. This is off of Fear Of God 2

Crooked I- Million Dollar Story

Crooked I has to be the most under-rated rapper out there. He is a beast and everything he touches turns into gold. The reasons why he was on Death Row Records and now Shady Records is obvious when you listen to him. Oh ya the video is NSFW too

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Big Sid- Born on the Block ft. Big K.R.I.T. and Killer Mike

Turn the volume all the way up and enjoy. This song goes pretty hard, Killer Mike and KRIT lay down some wicked verses!

Akon- Still a Survivor

I don't know what to make of this track. Lyrically it seems as if it could be a track from the classic Trouble album but the beat selection is still that eurodance-eqsue crap.
