Mac Miller Proving Why He's 'Most Dope'

Mac Miller is set to release his new album Blue Slide Park November 8, but the kid from Pittsburgh has high hopes to release it even sooner.

In a recent interview with MTV, Miller revealed that he will be donating $50k to the Make-A-Wish Foundation if the album reaches 50,000 pre-orders. Miller added, "If my fans go hard and hit 100,000, I'll release it on the spot."

Let's hope that's the case.

With Blue Slide Park currently listed at number 5 on the iTunes 'Top Albums' slot, it would appear that the folks over at Make a Wish will not be the only one's turning a profit from Miller's marketing strategy-- now that's some 'Donald Trump sh!t.'

Final Fraze
Personally, I think it would be a huge let down if Mac Miller's album does not hit 50,000 orders--not so much for him, but for the charity. Initially, Miller announced that he would be releasing the album title after reaching 25,000 orders-- check. With that said, if Blue Slide Park does not reach the 50,000 mark by Nov. 8, why not surprise Make-A-Wish with a check for $25k as a "consolation prize?" Now that's much easier said than done -- especially coming from a kid on a college budget -- but dishing out $25k would still be a tremendously generous offer and would only reinforce that the kid is worthy of his title: #MostDope.

Why Teachers Drink

Whether it be the kid eating paste or the Gothic boy wearing mascara--not that there's anything wrong with that [#TheresDefinitelySomethingWrongWithThat]-- every teacher has a student that isn't all there. Here's a look at some test answers from a few apples that may have been better left on the tree:

Miami Marlins New Logo: Dope or Joke?

The Florida Marlins will hold their last home game of the 2011 season this Wednesday, ending their 18 year tender as the Florida Marlins and marking the start of the Miami Marlins era. In addition, the rumors are officially confirmed that the Marlins will be hiring former Chicago White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillen, who announced that he would be parting ways with the Sox club Monday evening.

But the franchise is changing more than it's manager and location-- it's also changed its logo. 

There has been much buzz about the new logo among Marlins fans over the past week, some like it, some don't. Either way, the image above will represent the Miami Marlins for seasons to come.

Let's take it to the public.

Leave a comment below and let me know what you think:
Is the new logo 'dope' or is it a 'joke'?

[And all of you Chicagoans, feel free to weigh on Ozzie's quick departure too]

Seth Macfarlane Needs to Stop Singing

 If you tuned into Fox last night to watch the Animation Domination premiers of The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad, you would have been disappointed to find that you had been duped into watching ninety minutes of musical cartoons—okay, I actually didn’t mind Cleveland’s Rocky montage, but I’m a sucker for any references to the Italian Stallion.

For a few seasons now, Family Guy has been going south. The flashbacks are starting to get old and almost every episode has a 3-5 minute segment in which the characters breakout into a highly choreographed show-tune. #WTF?

Yet even as Family Guy continuously failed to meet the same comedic standards, we could at least find refuge in American Dad.

Finally Seth MacFarlane had redeemed himself and given us a show that had all the humor of Family Guy, without the flashbacks or musical numbers. So to watch him take strides in the same direction with American Dad was frustrating, to say the least, and I often question if the 37 year-old billionaire is just messing with us—or maybe there’s more to it.

After watching the American Dad Musical, I began to draw connections between the two shows that I had previously overlooked.

Ever notice how both Family Guy and American Dad have a closet homosexual character that seems to co-exist with a significant, straight other? Think about it—Family Guy has Stewie/Brian and American Dad has Stan/Roger. Toss in the show-tunes and I’d say you have a hidden recipe for a writer with some internal struggles. But of course, that’s just a theory.

Even though this Sunday left Animation Domination fans with a feeling of disappointment, it pains me to admit that no matter what the merry billionaire does, we will still tune in week after week, in hope that the next episode will give us even a carat of the comedic gold that Seth Macfarlane used to mine. 

Final Fraze
Now I have never been one to hate on someone for pursuing a passion, and it is clear that Seth Macfarlane has both a talent and passion for expressing his voice through music. With that said, you have to think of things through the perspective of your audience. What high school or college kid is going to want to watch a cartoon with characters that constantly breakout into song? Seth, dude, if you want to sing—sing. Be the best singer you can be, but please, for everyone's sake—keep it out of your shows.  

The Next Entourage? – How to Make It in America

After 8 glorious seasons, it’s finally over. With the exception of a movie in the works, Vinny, E, Drama and Turtle have swiped that black card one last time and booked a flight out of our Sunday line-up. So the question is: what now?

I think I may have the answer.

Entering its second season, the HBO show “How to Make It in America” outlines the life of two twentysomething entrepreneurs as they try to hustle their way through the highly competitive New York City fashion industry. The main characters, Ben Epstein [Bryan Greenberg] and his right-hand man Cam Calderon, played by Victor Rasuk, use their knowledge and street-cred to work their way to the top. Hip-Hop artist Kid Cudi also has a supporting role as Domingo.

Now I know what you’re thinking—a show about fashion, really? But don’t let that scare you away. From the ex-girlfriend who becomes progressively hotter, to the ex-con cousin who appears to be going legit, this show serves up a full dose of all the New York street-swag you’ll need to feed the appetite left over from Entourage.

Vinny and the boys showed us how to live it big, but Ben and Cam will teach us ‘How to Make It’ big.

The new season kicks-off October 2, at 9:30 [central].

Final Fraze

Did I mention Mark Wahlberg is a co-producer? #Enjoy.

Enough Said...

Kobe to Face Jail Time?

Last month, Kobe Bryant reportedly lashed out on a fellow churchgoer after suspecting the man of taking photographs of his family with a cell phone. Officials are saying that the NBA superstar could be facing a misdemeanor battery charge and could potentially serve 6 months in prison. Bryant apparently grabbed the man’s wrist and ripped the phone from his hand in attempt to delete the photos that he would soon learn did not exist—#oops.

If you forget about that whole Colorado rape case, Kobe is really one to stay below the radar. He does not have a Facebook nor has he ever posted a tweet. What he does have is an $83.5 million contract, making him the highest paid player in the NBA.

Now, with that in mind, do you really think the Black Mamba will ever see a second behind bars? At the very most – and I'd be surprised if the Lakers superstar had not already signed a nice little check – he'll get off with some probation and a hospital bill. All I'm saying is, for the 83.5 million reasons why Kobe will not go to jail, this guy will probably end up with an iron fist and Darth Vader grip for what was probably just a sprained wrist.

Hangover Remedies: How to Survive the Morning After

Look familiar?

We all have nights we wish we could remember and mornings we wish we could forget. But what can we do to help get rid of that terrible morning after feeling and get back on our feet? Follow my 6-step routine and you’ll be back on your feet before you know it—hopefully:

1. Buttered Toast with Jelly

After a night of VIP treatment in your friend’s bathroom, your body will be low in blood sugar. Just the mere thought of food makes you want to check back in to the Porcelain Penthouse, but you need to get something in your system. A piece of toast with some jelly will provide your body with just enough carbs and sugar to help reboot the system, without making you want to yack.

2. Fluids

Water, Gatorade and other sports drinks are your top of mind to get the essential fluids and electrolytes in to hydrate the body, but here’s a game changer for you—ever try coconut water? Coconut water has 15x the potassium of any sports drink, which is the key nutrient your body needs when it is dehydrated. Try Vita-Coco, or, my personal favorite: Greater>Than – The Ultimate Coconut Water Powered Sports Drink – if Gatorade and Coconut water got together for a night of unprotected fun, G>T would be the product. Trust me, after a rough night, nothing gets you back on your feet quicker than this stuff, and you can take that to the bank!

3. Pop Some Pills

Relax, I'm talking about pain killers and vitamins. Okay sure, if you have access to an adderall – and what college kid doesn't – that little boost in the bloodstream can go a long way, but there are plenty of other methods to get that natural energy your body needs. Depending on the severity of the hangover, I tend to take 2-3 advil or ibuprofen AFTER my toast. In addition, try to keep your cabinet stocked with vitamins such as fish oil and vitamin b12. The fish oil will provide you with essential amino acids and the b12 will help to speed up that metabolism, giving you that natural energy you need to roll out of the hamper, without giving you a crash—why do you think 5 hour energy drinks are so effective?

4. Bonus Sleep

After completing steps 1-3, try to go back to bed and get some shut-eye for an hour or so. It will give you just enough time for all goods you just consumed to settle in your body and allow you to sleep through some of the misery. When you wake up, you’ll have more energy and will definitely see some improvements from your first awakening.

5. Make it Rain

No, not dollar bills. I’m sure you spent enough GW’s at dollar night. A hot shower can do wonders for a groggy morning. Heat releases endorphins in our bodies, making us more alert and awake for the day. On top of that—it just feels good. Turn up that water pressure and aim it right between the brows.

6. Exercise

Probably the least popular of the steps, but it’s crucial. Even though your body metabolizes the alcohol – so technically there’s no such thing as “sweating it out” – exercise actually gives you more energy and makes you feel better about yourself. Anything to boost that moral will set you on the right path for the day. Now, be warned, you will probably feel like absolute crap during the workout, but push through it because it’s better to spend 45 minutes in hell than to live there for an entire day.

Final Fraze:

These steps are just one way to take down the morning after monster. Although I would not wish a hangover on anyone, I hope this outline will prove to be helpful the next night one of you has a little bit too much fun. Of course, the best alternative to avoid a hangover is to avoid consumption all together—but let’s face it, that won't be happening anytime soon. #BeSafe

Brad Pitt's Got Jokes

Brad Pitt is a cool dude. There’s no denying it. He’s slain the Prince of Troy, cracked every safe in Vegas and carved swastika’s into the foreheads of countless Nazi’s—it doesn't get much more bad a$$ than that. Okay, so he didn’t actually do all of those things, but he did nab the girl with the best lips in the business, Angelina Jolie.

And that’s not all.

Apparently the 47 year-old Pitt’s got jokes too.

While on the set for his new movie, Moneyball -- set to be released Septemeber 23 -- Pitt reportedly played a number of pranks on his co-star, Jonah Hill. But one specific prank takes the title. After learning of Hill’s strong dislike for the British band WHAM!, Pitt took it upon himself to have his co-star’s golf cart tricked out into a pink WHAM! mobile. 

Did I mention he had the cart rigged to play, “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” on full blast?—every time Hill touched the gas pedal. #Classic

Why Monday Night Was A '3 And a Half' Way Tie

Monday was a night for new beginnings. The highly anticipated premier of  “Two and a Half Men” returned to CBS and Comedy Central found a very convenient date and time to air the perhaps equally as anticipated Roast of Charlie Sheen.

Comedy Central’s purposeful decision to roast the Rock-star from Mars at the same time as the premier of his previous ‘Two And a Half” home planet immediately turned the evening into a competition for ratings—thank G-d for DVR.

Before we go to the scorecards for this clash of the TV titans, lets quickly step back to evaluate the opposing sides.

Since the Wild Thing parted ways with the Two And a Half cast last spring – and by that I mean after telling his boss to go f#*% himself – the 46 year-old warlock has been on what some would consider a “winning-less” streak.  From his YouTube rants that may as well have outlined his life as student at Hogwarts, to his coke-driven run-in with his goddesses of porn, it was safe to say that Charlie Sheen had pointed a wand at a chest and said “Avada-Kedavra” to his career—that’ll do for the Harry Potter references.

While the real Charlie was busy spraying Bree Olson with a hose—and, feel free to take that how you want—the cast and crew over at Two And a Half Men had a job ahead of them to find a replacement for the killed off Uncle Charlie. And who better to bring the life back to a set than the young and charismatic Ashton Kutcher?

Both the Roast and the Two.5 premier put up incredible numbers. According to the Social Guide, the Comedy Central Roast finished at the top, generating 16.92% of the Social Media buzz, just ahead of the Two And a Half Men’s 13.24%. So, at the number one spot, we can declare Charlie Sheen the winner, right?—not exactly.

With a reportedly 27.7 million viewers tuned in to CBS for the Two And a Half Men premier and an 11.25 average rating –compared to last seasons drop to 14.6 million viewers and an average rating of 5.5—it would appear that this matchup is far from over.

Final Fraze

When looking strictly at the numbers, you could really go either way. But this debate goes much deeper than ratings. Yes, the Two and a Half premier was impressive, enjoyable and all of the above, but for the show to continue to put up the same numbers every week would be unthinkable. Still, the crew had big sperry’s to fill in finding a viable replacement for Uncle Charlie, and, in my eyes, Ashton Kutcher exceeded expectations, proving that he was up to the task. Two and A Half Men—I tip my hat.

Now, Charlie Sheen had quite possibly the biggest blow up of all time—in the shortest period of time. During the Roast however, it appeared that he had finally channeled his inner tiger-blood and was the epitome of the American comeback story. Has the Wild Thing finally said goodbye to his old ways?—only time will tell. Even though the Roast was a only a one-night event and the actor is still technically unemployed, he spoke with resilience, and, on Monday night, Charlie Sheen was truly  #Winning.

Weighing in on Mayweather - Ortiz

Now, I've never been one to take to literary mediums to express my opinions, as the multimedia world has always been my forte; yet, after watching the playground fight that took place between Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Victor Ortiz on Saturday night, I feel as if it is finally time that I weigh in. So here goes:

If you were lucky enough to catch HBO's 24/7 special covering the weeks leading up to the fight, you would recall the pre-fight interview during which the seemingly quiet Ortiz accused the never short on words Floyd Mayweather of being nervous. Among today's elite boxers, Cash Money's numbers are as good as it gets. Putting his perfect 41-0 [now 42-0] record on the side for a moment, Mayweather's plus-minus is nearly double that of any other in the game- landing 46% of his punches and limiting his opponents to a measly 16%. So, was it wise to call out the 34 year-old Mayweather, who was pounding opponents into grain before the 24 year-old Ortiz began waiving the wheat? I'll leave that for you to decide.

I'll refrain from getting into much depth about Ortiz's entrance to the ring because "lezzzbehonest," no one really cares. If not for the throwback Kansas Jayhawk on his trunks, I would have just skipped right over it. But hey, you can't blame a guy for slugging his school. 

Now that, that's taken care of, I can move on to the main attraction.

Wearing his companion's belts like a toga of bling, Curtis "50 cent" Jackson escorted a man who, on first site, appeared to be the black Fred Flinstone, but was later confirmed to be Floyd Mayweather- my mistake. Mayweather's entrance alone surely had a cost greater than any dad would spend on his daughter's Super Sweet Sixteen, proving that he is, at the very least, a show.

Michael Buffer did his thing, cue the bell, and it wasn't long before Money May began landing his signature right-hand leads that made Ortiz's face flap like a dog shaking water off- literally. Ortiz remained aggressive throughout the fight, showing flashes of his true ability in the second and third rounds, but was ultimately outmatched by the faster and more technically sound Mayweather.

Enter round four.

The fourth round, to put simply, had it all. Both fighters came out strong, exchanging a number of blows hard enough to get Marky-Mark and the rest of the over-amped Vegas crowd up on its feet. At one point, Ortiz actually appeared to have the veteran on his heels, but, taking a page out of Mr. T's book in his Rocky III role as Clubber Lang, Mayweather simply brushed off the young-gun's advances with a smirk on his face that said, "you aint $h!t."

Maybe it was Mayweather's cocky attitude or the fact that he appeared virtually unscathed by Ortiz's blows that sent everything down hill, all I can say is that in a mere 14 seconds, this title fight shifted from a match between two professionals, to some school yard bull$h!t.

Here's the breakdown:
-14 seconds: Ortiz pins Mayweather against the ropes and throw's an "accidental" head-butt.

-9 seconds: Referee Joe Cortez calls time and deducts a point from Ortiz / Ortiz apologizes for the first time.

-Joe Cortez calls time in: Ortiz tries to hug it out for a second time and Mayweather hits him with a left cross, right hook.

-1 second:  Ortiz is knocked on his KansA$$, and, as Mayweather said in his post-fight interview, "that's all she wrote."

Of all the craziness that went down in the ring, there was none more than that of which occurred during Mayweather's post-fight interview with the ancient Larry Merchant. As is tradition, Money May neglected to properly answer any of the 80 year-old commentator's questions, taking the defense for the first time of the night as he shouted, "HBO need to fire you, you don't know $h!t about boxing." Now, the very thought of being verbally abused by Floyd Mayweather is enough to make any man back down, especially one of age. Yet, as quickly as the fight had ended, Merchant snapped back with a remark that undeniably crowned him the true champion of the evening: 

"I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your a$$." #Winning.

Final Fraze: "A message for Mayweather"
Ortiz was showing an act of respect [for an unnecessary second time] after a cheap head-butt. First dirty move. With that said, if you are 41-0, act like it. Mayweather was dominating the fight anyways, just look at the stats- Mayweather had landed 73 punches to Ortiz's 26. Why put a question mark on a nearly perfect performance? Is it plausible to believe that Mayweather was pissed off about the head-butt and reacted out of anger? Sure. But if you are truly the best, be the best- you shouldn't have to sucker punch your way to a victory. At the end of the day, the rule is that a fighter needs to protect himself at all times, and, however unpopular a move it may be, there is nothing in the rules about showing class- that's simply just one thing Cash Money Mayweather cannot train for.
