Scribbler's Highlight of the Week (Part II): Dormtainment.com, "A-- on the Internet"

As promised, this is the second installment of my highlight of the week, but it's something a little sillier this time around.  Although "A-- on the Internet" is over three months old, nothing is truly old as long as your sense of humor doesn't have an expiration date.  I just got a kick out of this jawn.  If my friends and I had a camcorder and YouTube during our college years, we may have done stuff like this.  Major shout-out to Dormtainment.com for providing the funny, and you can also follow them on Twitter and like them on Facebook.  Shout-out to Mrs. Scribbler for putting me on to quite a few of their videos, and trust that they'll get some more shine on my blog in the future.  (Now if only most of the music videos on MTV Jams or BET were this entertaining...)

Scribbler's 'Boo This Man' Moment of the Week (Part II): Kanye West

So who naturally to follow in the "Boo This Man" tradition that Consequence has now set than his former employer, Kanye West?  I'm sure that everyone has heard some of his recent rants.  On this post though, it's not about him "not f-----g with that Suit & Tie" by Justin Timberlake and his "big brother" Jay-Z.  I'm trying not to make this about his rant on The Angie Martinez Show and his issues with being No. 7 on MTV's 2012 "Hottest MC in the Game" list.  I feel like without outright dissing him, Yeezy slighted Kendrick Lamar by saying that Lil' Wayne should've been No. 1.  I mean really...Lil' Wayne didn't even have a year like his Young Money "understudies", Drake and Nicki Minaj, but I digress.  (Besides, I think Kanye is just saying that to mask his real outrage that he's not the top gun.)  We won't even get into his insistence that folks just don't want to show him love because of where he's at in life:

Scribbler's Throwback of the Week: Roy Ayers Ubiquity, "Everybody Loves the Sunshine"

Yes indeed...everybody loves the sunshine, and there aren't too many R&B aficionados and overall music lovers who don't love this song.  This is just one of many dope songs from the catalog of Los Angeles native Roy Ayers--this being his most popular song from his 1976 album of the same name.  Of course, 80s and 90s babies are familiar with it as the springboard sample for the title track to one of the best R&B albums of the past 20 years from Mary J. Blige's 1994 My Life album--although hip-hop acts like Brand Nubian, Common and Mos Def have borrowed it as well.  However, with distinct vocals and a beautiful musical marriage of jazz and R&B, it's just a smooth song that makes you want to lay out in a field somewhere on a hill and be one of the "folks gettin' brown in the sunshine".  Shout-out to mom (Mrs. Scribbler's mother) for throwing this one out there on my Facebook page, and I'll be plugging some of the album tracks in the near future.

Scribbler's 'Boo This Man' Moment of the Week (Part I): Consequence

Remember how this guy from Half Baked ridiculed Thurgood Jenkins (Dave Chappelle) for being a marijuana addict in a room full of cocaine addicts? 

Hence, the name of this new series.  When I think people are on that fracka nacka, this is my way of tapping into my inner David Edwards--yup, the same one from The Real World: Los Angeles and fellow D.C. native.  (Let some tell it, this may be the highlight of his career.)  Now on to the bid-ness...

UHHHH DUHHHH ALERT: Kendrick Lamar Named MTV's "Hottest MC"

So this is supposed to be a picture of Kendrick Lamar being surprised as MTV personality and hip-hop aficionado Sway tricked the 25-year-old Compton, California rapper into thinking that he was getting interviewed.  In reality, Sway revealed that Kendrick had been named MTV's "Hottest MC in the Game" for 2012.  Now before we go any further, I must set this up with Mrs. Scribbler's reaction to the list...when I merely mentioned that Future was No. 9 on this list a spot ahead of Meek Mill, she scoffed, "I'm no longer interested.  I mean, you can continue, but I'm no longer interested.  Is he even a rapper???"  However, when she correctly guessed the top gun, she immediately said, "That's no surprise.  He deserves it."
