Who featuring who and who? Lol, exactly. I tried my damnedest to avoid this video, but I finally decided to sit down and watch it. I saw it posted on several of my favorite blogs, and RODOL’d from the comments, but I never took the time to peep the vid for myself.

Above all, I must say, the editing of the video is pretty damn good! Much better than some of these “official videos” from “official artists” funded by “official labels.” The lyrics are funny as hell too! This is obviously not safe for work… Homegirl with the doo-doo braids singing on stage had me ROLLING! She just looks like she’s really into singing the hook. She even forgot to put the mic up to her face at one point (oops!). Anyway, if you’re looking for a good laugh, check out the video when you get a chance.

(Photos: National Basketball Association) The Cleveland Cavs won again against the Washington Wizards. LeBron James shows once again that he’s less than “overrated”. The Cavs took the victory by a final 3-point shot (100-97). LeBron was booed everytime the ball touched his hand today but that still didn’t stop him. King James had 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Delonte West, who scored the final 3-point shot of the game, had 21 points, 5 assists and 3 steals. The Cavs still lead (3-1).

Game 5 airs Wed. (Apr. 30).

Game 3: L.A. Lakers Vs. Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets can seem to get it right. I don’t know if it’s intimidation of Kobe Bryant or what. The L.A. Lakers win a another victorious game last night by 18 (102-84). The stats are now in the Lakers favor with their own winning rampage (3-0). Top player of last night’s game has to be Kobe Bryant. Kobe scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists. Pau Gasol had 14 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. Lamar Odom had 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. Allen Iverson was disappointed about the loss and knows he wasn’t on his best skills last night. Iverson had a total of 15 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds. A.I. said after the game:

“I was getting to the basket, I just wasn’t finishing.” Ivo added, “And the same thing happened to ‘Melo’.”

I can’t wait to see the music video to this track. I’m pretty sure this is the second single or J.D. wouldn’ve posted it. Click play on this video above.
