Damn. A lot of things done changed since we last spoke: from people getting sued for obscene hand gestures (forcing others to copyright their farts and footsteps), to the Viagra market celebrating the acquittance of their hippest customer(who else? Irv).

On the flipside, somethings have will never change...what's up with all the hysteria over Chappelle's return? He's not really back, what you're getting is the so-called unaired, never-before-seen-or-heard exclusive footage. Deal with it.

Cut Chappelle some slack folks; everyone falls off at some point. Just ask this rapper who's taken the first step toward joining Dave in celebrity purgatory by performing at Bat Mitzvahs(the hardest part of that last sentence was spelling "mitzvah" Phew!)

Now, you've really fallen off when as a rapper, you openly cite writer's block as a possible reason for putting down the mic permanently.

"I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my
career is going," he said. "This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain
Call,' because this could be the final thing. We don't know." - Eminem

Maybe it's such display of creativity that convinced Rakim that Eminem's the best rapper alive. Of course, Em would still spew occasional lyrics of fury if he was black, but placing him and Muhammad Ali in the same sentence is sacrilegious.

And who the funk told this kid to pick up a mic in the first place? What kind of pathetic, ignorant, disastrous phenomenon is this? LOL at the boy putting his weird act to an abrupt end as soon as his sister walked in. Kiddo, you better get on that ice cream bribe cause she will tell on your punkass.

That kid should be busy celebrating Ether Day (spotted via Fresh)
