Just when you think that parody mash up videos can't get any better... you get something like this! The Wolf of Wall Street was a great film, and its ad campaign leading up to its release was even better. The company used Kanye West's recently released 'Black Skinhead' at the time to score the commercials for the movie, and it was a pretty great pick of a song. So what happens when you mash that music up with clips from the original Wolf of Wall Street himself, Thurston Howl the III? You get an interesting mash up entitled "The Wolf of Gilligan's Island"! And interesting mix that works out extremely well. VKMTV Studios did a good job with this one... check out the video after the jump.
Watch The Throne was my favorite album last summer, uniting two hip hop legends like Jay-Z & Kanye to produce a pretty great record. One of the hottest tracks on the album had to be 'No Church In The Wild'. The beat is bananas, the lyrics are fantastic, and Frank Ocean's street sounding R&B sound complete a perfect track. It has such an ominous beat that it has become the "it" song for movie trailers since last summer, featuring prominently in the Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds film Safe House & the upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio version of The Great Gatsby (Huh... wtf?). So it seemed fitting for the crew to reach out to Romain Gravas, who has a knack for making music videos that may only be 4 minutes long but are like full length movies. This one is full of drama and intensity. Plus I love that they used the unedited version of the song for the video. Check it out embedded after the jump....
I haven't featured a lot of music lately here on CCD because honestly I haven't heard anything worth featuring. But over the past week I have heard not one, but TWO tracks from songstress Adele featuring both Kings of The Throne Jay-Z & Kanye West. I like both tracks, but the Jay one gets the slight edge in my book. You can hear both tracks after the jump...
Here is Katy Perry's new remix single E.T. featuring the one and only Kanye West. He probably produced this as well (sounds like Kanye). I'm digging it... how about you guys? Tell us in the comment section below.
First up we got Kanye West & Jay-Z with their first single H.A.M. (Hard As a Motherfucker) from their upcoming album Watch The Throne. Yeah, these two are making an album... everybody else needs to pack it up. It's over for all you chumps.
Next up we got my favorite dirty girl Ke$ha checking in with one of the greatest MC's of all time, Andre 3000 of Outkast. The song is called Sleazy (Remix), and I absolutely love it! Thats a hard ass beat, and it's been a long time since I heard Dre spit some bars....
Plus, since it is a Ke$ha song, I get to run this excellent picture of her being bent over by Katy Perry... your welcome!!!
Ke$ha is on the cover of this months Complex Magazine (with Kanye West on the flip side), and this is a win-win for me. First of all, Complex is my favorite magazine out right now. Marc Ecko and the crew are killing it and I can not get enough of the well rounded publication they put out consistently. Secondly, and most importantly, I have an unhealthy obsession with the dirty girl that is Ke$ha. Yeah, I saw that unflattering pic of her pancake-like ass in that bathing suit... but guess what??? I don't care. I love this filthy bitch, and money is agreeing with her as it seems she has hit the gym a bit between albums. There is a lot of leg featured here, and not much ass at all (coincidence? I think not...) but she still looks damn good... and by damn good I mean filthy good!!! Here is the full photo shoot courtesy of Fashion Indie... I hope you like it!!!

Forget 9-11... Not being able to find Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq... Never catching Osama Bin Laden.... Hurricane Katrina and the fall of New Orleans... Declaring that the war in the Middle East was over 100 days in despite the fact we are still fighting the same war right now... The economy taking to levels of Depression era numbers... nope, none of these tragedies were what really gave George W. Bush his worst moments of agony during his presidency was when Kanye West called him out for "Not Caring about Black People" during the Hurricane Katrina fundraiser....
WAIT... WHAT!!!! THIS IS HIS WORST MOMENT OF HS PRESIDENCY??? I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS. THERE IS NO WAY HE SAID THIS....
Good thing you don't have to take my word for it. Here is an excerpt from the former President's upcoming new memoir, Decision Points:
"Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust." You go on. "I faced a lot of criticism as President. I didn't like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all time low."
Those are his words... from his book. Honestly, I can not believe the level of stupidity being exhibited here. I can see why anybody, Bush included, would take exception to being taken to task so harshly by some current pop star like Kanye West. Fuck Kanye West... that was a dick move (Kanye is known for them, check his track record!). But I'm not mad that W was upset. I'm mad cause he said its the worst thing that happen while he was in office. You gotta be fucking kidding me. The best is that Matt Lauer gives him a shot during an interview to properly state what he really meant by his comments (maybe W was misunderstood)... and what does this guy say:
MATT LAUER: You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your Presidency?
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt 'em when I heard 'em, felt 'em when I wrote 'em and I felt 'em when I'm listening to 'em.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Yes. My record was strong I felt when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And-- it was a disgusting moment.
Good fucking God. It's like Michael Jackson saying he would still have sleepovers with kids AFTER he got past the child molestation issues. Why W??? All he had to do was say it hurt his feelings... he could have even said it hurt his feelings REAL BAD. But the worst thing that happen? When you got all those things we mentioned above happening (plus way more!!!) during your two terms? No W, this is ridiculous.... even for you. Kanye West was a dick, and you did not deserve that label as "Not caring about black people"... but you are so much worse for singling out this incident as the worst thing that happened to you. The only way you can come to that conclusion would have to be if you were in denial over all of those above mentioned tragedies. Guess that's the case. That's truly a shame.
Tell us what you think about George W's comments and whether or not you feel they are justified or batshit crazy in the comments section below. I would love to here what you guys have to say about this one...
The summer is rapidly approaching an end, and I thought I should hit you with a few new songs that will be sure to take us into the Fall season. My musical taste can be a bit fickle at times, but I would love to here your comments on the next few songs... so make sure you add some comments below.
First up, we got multi-Grammy award winner John Legend checking in off of his new team up album with the hardest working band in show business, The Roots. They get an assist from the lovely voiced Melanie Fiona and the always on point Common in this re-imagining of the Marvin Gaye classic "Wake Up Everybody", which is one of my all time favorite songs... ever. This is sure to be a dope album, so be on the lookout for it.
Next up, we got a follow up to his summer smash "Airplanes" from new artist B.O.B. and this time he gets a bit of chorus help from Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. You might recognize this one from the new Adidas commercial "Mega Diner" which we featured in Commercially Acclaimed a few weeks back. B.O.B is a great new artist coming out of the ATL, so you will be hearing plenty of this catchy tune in the next few weeks.
Third up, we got the latest single from Usher's new album "Versus", Hot Toddy ft. Jay-Z and Esther Dean. this song has been buzzing for a bit now, but it is just now starting to get some radio airplay and I am sure a video is soon to follow. For now, enjoy this Youtube fan vid of the RnB banger from two titans in the game.
Last up, we got the first single off of Kid Cudi's new album called "Erase Me" and this one features a guest verse from the always controversial Kanye West. This is a banger for sure, and I am really looking forward to Cudi's sophmore album. Lets hope this is just the start of something great.
