LeBron James Samsung Galaxy Note II [Commercial]

Samsung NAILED this LeBron James commercial. I think what makes it really cool is...

1. LeBron James
2. They seem to be marketing the lifestyle, not the product...that's always a winning formula.
3. You could literally stick any logo at the end of the clip. Take your pick, Nike, New Era, NBA, Miami Heat...Samsung.

Anyway, if you haven't seen it already, SCREAMATME.com is the place....

Road To Brooklyn: The Rivalry [Video]

With the arrival of the Nets in Brooklyn an uncivil war is now raging in NYC between diehard Knicks fans and newborn Nets fans. Which team best represents the city? Who will bring home the first NBA championship for NY in this new era of two New York-based basketball teams? It's the beginning of a beautiful rivalry as the opinions -- and profanity -- fly fast and furious.

The Truth With Elliott Wilson: What Makes A Classic Rap Album? (@ElliotWilson) [Video]

Elliott Wilson, of RapRadar.com, breaks down the word classic for you. The term itself is becoming both overused and taboo at the same damn time in the Hip-Hop community. We take a look at Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d. city and Nas' Life Is Good. Compare and contrast. Think about other classic albums.

My personal lineup...

The Blueprint
Illmatic
Reasonable Doubt
TM 101
Enter The Wu
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Tha Carter
Ready To Die
College Dropout
Late Registration
Lord Willin'
Get Rich, Or Die Trying
The Marshall Mathers LP
The Documentary
Thank Me Later (yup, I said it...)

Of course there are more, I could probably go for days...but how does Kendrick Lamar's DEBUT fair? What about Nas' Life Is Good?

Do these recent releases deserve Classic status? #BlameKendrick

Take us away YN...

Have You Heard: Big Sean (@BigSean) - "GUAP" [Audio]

This banger produced by Key Wayne and Young Chop is a definite GO! Big Sean delivers per usual in the flow category and the hook is for the win...look for this to be smashing airwaves and 106th & Park stages in NO time. All G.O.O.D.

Rappers, stay away from the covers...please.

Fabolous - So NY: Sons Of Essex [Video]

MTV's This Is How I Made It: Gabby Douglas + Mac Miller [FULL Episode 2]

MTV continues to push forward with their This Is How I Made It series. This second episode features Olympic Gold Medalist, Gabrielle Douglas and Independent Mega Artist, Mac Miller. Dope back stories. But that's usually true of winners, right?

New Music: Chrisette Michele (@ChrisetteM) - "Charades" (Feat. @2Chainz)

Chrisette, where have you been all my life? Should I blame Def Jam? Ok, we'll blame Def Jam.

She brings to us her latest, "Charades," after a prolonged break from the game. I like the track, but (and get your recorders out) I'm not feeling the two verse from our favorite playa pahtnah 2 Chainz. I know, I know.  I'm surprised too. I usually like everything from dude, but this doesn't fit. I'd like to hear a Wale (obvious pick) or if we're going to stay in-house maybe a Jeezy or Big Sean... It just feels a little forced. We'll blame Def Jam for this too.

Overall, JP gives it a 5/10. Either way, I'm glad to see Chrisette Michele is back in the booth. Elle Varner was about to start stealing her fans something serious. What do YOU all think of the song?

Wake Up With The Breakfast Club: Maino + Black Mafia [Video]
