Scottie Pippen’s amazing slam dunk on Patrick Ewing

If there is one video that gives me a buzz every time I watch it, it’s the dunk that Scottie Pippen made over Patrick Ewing during Game 6 of the 1994 Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In my opinion Scottie Pippen is one of the greatest basketball players that has ever played the game and this video proves the point.

This is the classic Good vs Evil,  Bulls vs Knicks match up.

This could not have been a more adrenaline fuelled moment as the Bulls launch into a fast break resulting in Scottie Pippen receiving the ball several feet from the basket. It's a race to the top with Patrick Ewing being left helpless as Scottie soars above him and throws it down.

The picture in this post catches the moment perfectly as all anyone can do (including John Starks) is look on in disbelief as history is made.
Another thing I love about Scottie Pippen is his humility. The fact that he would be part of an awesome moment like that and then play it down in the interview by saying “It looks worse than what it is” just shows what a class act he is.

The bottom line is Scottie Pippen went chest-to-chest with the 7’ 1’’ Patrick Ewing mid air, posterized him, knocked him to the floor and then told the ever annoying Spike Lee to “Sit his ass down”.

It doesn’t get any better than that………..Scottie we salute you!.

Claude Paul – Korn - Freak on a Leash drum cover

I have watched many drum covers of ‘Freak on a leash’ by Korn but by far my most favourite is the video below by ‘Claude Paul’. Although, I respect all musicians of any standard for their dedication, it is really enjoyable when you see one that is truly talented.

It’s difficult to pick out specific parts that are better than others especially when the entire cover is loaded with amazing fills, high hat work and ride symbol improvisations, oh yes, and did I leave out (2:45) the part where he unleashes hell (if you know the song – you know what i’m talking about).

I’ve watched this clip alot and I notice something cool and interesting every time.
So take a look at the clip I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

I always like hearing from people that  read this blog, so please leave a comment.

Another one video – P Diddy & Rick Ross

I had to include this video on the blog for two reasons. The first being that I had never rated Puff Daddy’s music as it had always been a bit too soft for my liking but this track was much harder. It has a strong baseline and P Diddy, although his rap isn’t particularly good he looks awesome and pulls the song off a treat.

The second reason I really like this song is the collaboration with Rick Ross. I’m really liking Rick Ross at the moment, he has that hard, rough edge that smacks of the Tupac and Biggie era.
Despite the blatant merchandising of Ciroc, Maybach, Rolex and Bugatti coupled with the song having no real meaning other than to brag, this is an awesome track to put in your car (louder the better) and just enjoy.

Favourite bits :
[Diddy] 1:55-2:00 - “I’m strong b-tch, I own sh-t, gave myself a ten digit bonus”.
(Everyone I have played this video for has laughed at that part. Quality.)
[Rick Ross] 3:01-3:16- “my Columbian the man, holla beam me up Shawty,got that money in the bag that can hold a f-cking body,1.5 for this brand new black Bugatti,jewels like I’m Slick Rick,ballet shoes lade dade”
(I love the way the beat kicks in as Rick Ross starts this line followed closely by a shot of Diddy grooving to it on the sofa with the ‘models’. It’s the most hardcore bit of the video. Nice)
Full Lyrics :
[Diddy]
You n-ggas paranoid,
I party gettin’ money
I know I’m the sh-t my janitor be getting money
I got a skyscraper, it’s a hell of a view
got me closer to God, angel wings on my coupe
pray for me, I grind everyday for it
if you see me riding in it, means I paid for it
Bugatti Boyz 1.8 fours
I got money baby I could order 8 more
f-ck the Forbes list lets tell the truth I ate more
I got a billion baby time to get 8 more
12 bedrooms, time to get 8 more
stack up all the cases of Ciroc on the 8th floor
[Chorus - Rick Ross] (Diddy in brackets)
Got a hundred million
(its time to get another one)
How this Bugatti feel
(I may need me another one)
5 bad b-tches
(just got me another one)
P Diddy run the city
(never be another one)
5 mill cash
(and I need another one)
rocking a different Rollie
(no this not the other one)
Stacking a number gettin’ money
(n-gga number one)
real n-ggas run the city
(never be another one)
[Diddy]
these haters speculate
they always watching mine
she know what time it is
just like my watch line
my clothes line
the cologne b-tch
I know you smell this money sitting on this throne b-tch
I’m strong b-tch
I own sh-t
gave myself a ten digit bonus
I’m the money man, never financed
go get this money baby, with yo fine ass
if ya n-gga broke it’s time to get another one
if oyu b-tch is trippin’ time to get another one
I’m Puff Daddy b-tch there’ll never be another one
Bugatti Boyz forever one
[Chorus]
[Rick Ross]
I feelin’ the money
I’m lovin’ the paper
n-gga hate in the hood
took his hoe to Jamaica
if I let down the top
let the breeze in my beard
VIP is the spot, they playing musical chairs
my Columbian the man, holla beam me up Shawty
got that money in the bag that can hold a f-cking body
1.5 for this brand new black Bugatti
jewels like I’m Slick Rick
ballet shoes lade dade
I’m billin’ myself, b-tch you do the same
f-ck what I spend at the bar
you should see how I came
keep my b-tch at her best
with one foot in the trap
if I bust at your chest I bet thats a wrap

Star Wars Gangsta Rap (with lyrics)

This video is pretty old now but I remember the first time I saw it and I thought it was really good and very funny. If you like Star Wars or even if you don’t, this video is going to make you laugh.

What I like about this video is the fact that the audio and the video are synched. The other Star Wars raps on YouTube are really repetitive and the videos shows the character of the voice rapping but makes no attempt to match the movements and mannerisms with the words.
My second main reason is that it’s funny :-)

My favourite bits :
Vader 17-22 seconds - “With my slick suede suit that's black like tar,Fucking you up no matter who you are!”
Yoda 31-37 seconds - “Oh, shit! Yoda on the scene,900 year fiend smoking Dagobah green!”
C3PO 1:49-1:58 “Oh, lord, goodness gracious me!, I'm a gay man's golden fantasy!, Programmed for homo-ecstasy,
ten million forms of gay positioning.”

Aside from the fact it is funny, these are good lyrics, rapped in voices similar to the real characters and is thoroughly entertaining. This video always amuses me.

Admiral:
This is Admiral Biatch to base camp,
it seems the stormtroopers have gone on strike
and I have no experience with this type of shit.
Who should I call for help?
Vader:
It's the V to the A to the D-E-R (Vader!)
Reconstructin' the Death Star!
With my slick suede suit that's black like tar,
Fucking you up no matter who you are!
Palpatine:
Tell them motherfuckers 'bout this here Dark Side!
Pull up on your planet, Death Star drive-by!
And we'll beat the Rebels 'cause their skills ain't shit!
Vader:
And in my TIE Fighter, Zig-zags stay lit!
Yoda:
Oh, shit! Yoda on the scene,
900 year fiend smoking Dagobah green!
Bitches on my tip, like Lando on liquor.
Lando:
Ah, you're just jealous 'cause my black dick's thicker.
Chewbacca:
*Wookie yell*
Lando:
Yo! Tell 'em Chewie, last night
I had Leia all drunk wanting to do me.
Luke:
Shut the fuck up man! Leia's my sister!
The only thing you're getting is a beat-off blister.
Ben Kenobi:

intercourse, but Luke!
Don't forget! Bitches ain't nothing but hos and tricks!
(Ohh!)
Luke:

Sittin' in your palace with your blue-headed whore,
trap door to the Rancor. *sound of someone falling*
C3PO:
Oh, lord, goodness gracious me!
I'm a gay man's golden fantasy!
Programmed for homo-ecstasy,
ten million forms of gay positioning.
For my golden shower, you must pay a fee,
but R2-D2 gives it up for free. *R2-d2 squeaks*
R2-D2, watch your language!
Always having sex with robotic strangers!
Jar Jar Binks:
