Elderly Choir Sings Hip-Hop Music

nickev — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 14:56:38 +0000

I’ve been asked by multiple people to post this. It’s a bunch of old people in a choir singing the likes of Eminem’s Lose Yourself and Nelly’s Hot in Here. I don’t think they’re that funny or that good, which would be two reasons to post this. But, sometimes you have to adhere to your four readers and post something they want posted.

So, I present to you a bunch of old folks singing rap music.

CMT Bans Julianne Hough’s New Video

nickev — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 20:17:59 +0000

CMT is some morans. Why would anyone ban a video including Julianne Hough? Have you seen Julianne Hough? If you haven’t, well first off, you need to get with the program. Second off, you need to click here because we yumped her a long time ago.

She epitomizes what being strait yump is all about.

"I love StraitPinkie.com"

Still, CMT (Country Music Television) banned the video for her new single, Is That So Wrong, because they said it was too sexy. Idiots.

Here’s what Ms. Hough had to say about CMT’s decision.

“This next song – funny story. I shot a music video for it … and [CMT] kind of banned it,” the Washington Post quoted her as telling the crowd. “Apparently I was taking off too many clothes as I was dancing across my bedroom. But I don’t know – I kind of liked it.”

Julianne Hough taking off too many clothes and dancing across the bedroom. Who wouldn’t like that.

“Go Hard or Go Home” Album Release Party – Relax, Relate…Release!!!

Zero-Star Recruit — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:35:22 +0000

SuperCool FlyerDontae Duncan is a guy, like most guys, you’d would meet on an average day: busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday life; he talks about advancing and absorbs any advices to improve his personal life but, he also has that “star-power” that is intangible.

His vernacular is basic…in ordinary, everyday conversation: “uh yump; I feel ya; that’s what’s up cuz and I’ll holla at ya.” When talking to Mr. Duncan, you would think he was that guy that worked a regular job and lived next door to you, or live next door to one of your family members. If you were thinking that (Dontae was an average guy) based on my description of him in the aforementioned….you must not know “Supa Cool”!

“Supa Cool” is Dontae Duncan’s alter ego. A super cool guy, who forms complex word structures and submits them to Compact Discs recordings as smooth as, and as swift as, a MLB baseball player spits Kodiak into is water bottle during the Pennant Race!

On “Supa Cool’s” new mixtape entitled – “Supa Mixtape” Volume 1 produced by Grindin’ Hard Record. “Supa Cool” demostrates his utterances of daily life into a form every ear can relate to. As in one of the hit singles on the mixtape, “Body Shop“, featuring “Dirty Mouth” and other acts of “Trillville” ( # 14 on the U.S. Hot 100 list of 2004); explains the mindframe of a single man telling the naked truth to the ladies: “Sexy Red-bone/but I prefer chocolate – caramel or vanilla/ I’m just weighting out my options/ Long as ya body banging – then it shouldn’t be a problem/ The “Body Shop” is open/ Baby we can get it poppin!” Sums up the gist of “Supa Cool” and Dontae Duncan’s lyrical mindframe.

He also has other songs you’d have to listen to – to get a good understanding of Louisville, KY’s crowned superstar…and a superstar he is!

On Thursday, 7/22/2010, you can meet Louisville, KY’s true hip-hop superstar! Where? Slammers @ 2800 South Crums Lane (in between Dixie Highway and Cane Run Road). What time? From 10p.m. – until – only $5.00, before 12a.m.!

Contact information – 502-618-3588 or email: ghard_records@yahoo.com

Be there…you don’t want to miss a time to relax, relate and release…with a superstar you will love forever! Cool people, stiff drinks and plenty of entertainment, and plus you have a reason to drink on a Thursday night!

From me to the party people,

Reggie P.
