Here’s a preview of the upcoming DJ Hero video game scheduled for release in October. From the video it’s hard to tell if this game will be any good. I know lots of people swear by Guitar Hero and seeing as how it’s made by the same company, I expect fans will be pleased.

I’m for anything that’s going to teach the kids that DJ’ing actually requires DJ equipment & some skill, rather than just a computer and the ability to make playlists.

I’ll probably be copping it for the PS3, although October is generally close to the release of the NBA 2K series, so I may not have time in my life for much else after that drops.

Break.com keeps coming through with these amazing beer pong videos…and I keep posting them. I was never great at just landing the ball in the cup 5 feet away in my playing days, so I’m living vicariously through these guys.

Here’s another video that demonstrates the absurdity of Twitter (follow @djxplosive!!!). I actually caught Conan on the Tonight Show last night. He seems like he’s still getting his bearings, yet is still 100 times funnier than Jimmy Fallon. Bonus points for bringing Andy Richter back!

Back in January I posted a commentary about the stupidity of Max B’s lawyer, Gerald M. Saluti, who had recently posted a Youtube video (which has since been removed, but still resides on OnSmash.com) responding to internet gossip regarding the rapper’s murder trial (see Max B Needs to Fire His Lawyer).

Well, the murder trial is now upon us, and Mr.Saluti is at it again. Rather than focusing on how to discredit eyewitness testimony implicating the rapper in the case, Saluti has chosen to take his case to Twitter to taunt Max B’s ex-girlfriend, Gina Conway, who he refers to as “the devil” in his tweets.

Today, illseed of allhiphop.com rumors fame elaborated on additional tweets allegedly made by Max B’s lawyer:

closing statements are today…then we will be wavy…lol

Max B closing argument is gonna be tuesday! Come on fans, support ur boy, facing life in prison X 3! Bout to beat his case and take over!

that’s crazy, I just finished a murder case in nyc, they suck, beatem all day, good luck to ur man

already memorized the files, blew that b***h gina up on court today, not guilty on its way, watch

missed u today in court, I killed that b***h!

While I was able to find Saluti’s Twitter profile, I wasn’t able to find these specific tweets. I suspect, as was the case with the Youtube video, Saluti may have decided that this conduct wasn’t the best way to defend his client, but hasn’t fully grasped the idea that just because you delete something on the internet doesn’t mean it no longer exists.

A verdict is expected in the case today and while I won’t say that an unfavorable verdict for his client should lie on Saluti’s shoulders, I do believe this guy should switch professions as he is desperately seeking stardom and doing so at the expense of his clients.

I’m guessing if a guilty verdict is delivered, Saluti will present his case for appeal via a dis track aimed at Gina Conway.

Has anyone else noticed that every time Travis Barker does one of these remixes he makes the track sound much better than the original cut? Why aren’t more hip-hop artists bringing him in as a studio musician?

I know The Game brought him in to make the “Dope Boyz” track, which was one of last year’s best records. Maybe there’s more out there I don’t know about, but I still think we need more Travis Barker in the hip-hop game.

Regardless, I’m always impressed with these joints that Barker does and think he’s definitely one of the most talented musicians in the business.

As if all that patting each other on the ass wasn’t bad enough…

I found this record in my inbox when I woke up yesterday and figured it would be the talk of the town, as was the case when these 4 teamed up for the Swagga Like Us record a few months back.

I’m not sure if this is leaking slow, everybody’s on vacation or people really aren’t feeling the track (*raises hand*), but it hasn’t made much noise at all from what I’ve seen.

This is supposedly the newest record from Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album coming June 23rd.

Get used to this video clip. It will forever be replayed when anyone talks about great moments in sports all of history.

It’s been a little while since I put up a poppin tags post. For a while the weekly posts served as an excuse for me to get out of the house for a while and venture out to some of NYC’s finest street wear shops.

After a while and as more and more of my friends found themselves without jobs, I started to feel guilty flaunting the new gear I was copping on a weekly basis. I felt like flaunting the $100 t-shirt I bought that day was disrespectful to those who were in need of an extra $100 that month to keep a roof over their head or to feed their family.

These days, I’ve moved out of the City and am long past feeling the need to keep my closet fresh on a weekly basis. Also, any disposable income I find myself with these days seems to go to furniture, which has my apartment looking like a bachelor’s dream, but I’ve opted to leave the interior design posts to Kanye.

Today I felt obligated to make a rare post in the poppin tags category because it’s not often that I get to post this sort of stuff. This is the official (NBA Store version) of the Lebron James MVP t-shirt. I’ve been sitting on this for a couple of days, but it hasn’t gone into rotation until today– where it will remain the only thing you see me on game day for the next few weeks when the Cavs NBA Championship T’s become available.

In case you thought that was a typo, I did say when they become available.

The man killed during a high-profile shooting at the Beverley Center in Beverley Hills, California today was Atlanta rapper Dolla, sources have confirmed with AllHipHop.com.

Dolla, born Roderick Anthony Burton II, hailed from East Atlanta and Los Angeles. He was signed to Akon’s Konvict Muzik imprint.

The rapper was shot and killed shortly after 3:00 PM near the La Cienga Boulevard entrance, after a fight between a group of individuals broke out.

Witnesses report that a woman was seen firing a handgun. Another source said a male suspect was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport as he attempted to board a flight.

Dolla was originally a member of Hip-Hop group Da Razkals Cru, before he landed a gig for Sean “Diddy” Combs as a model for Sean John.

Dolla had gained a buzz via his track “Who The Heck Is That?” which featured T-Pain and Tay Dizm.

The rapper was reportedly working on his debut solo album titled a Dolla & A Dream.
