Every time I see the photograph above I think of one thing: "Heil Hitler!" I've been listening to Nas since I was like 12 so I know better, but you can't pretend you didn't think the same thing.
Anyway, before I digress any further, let me get to the point of this post which is to share a new joint by Nasir and John Legend. The track is called "Victory" and is featured on DJ Khaled upcoming studio album of the same name. Enjoy!
Rihanna Changes It Up For 'Rude Boy' Video

Rihanna went all out during the video shoot for her latest single, "Rude Boy." The track is latest single to drop off Ri Ri's latest album, Russian Roulette.
Judging by the zebra getup pictured above, I think it's safe to say the 21-year-old star is taking things in a new direction with these visuals. “[It's] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before," Rihanna said.
"A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots. We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type."
You can see more behind-the-scenes images from the shoot when you pop the hood. I'm digging the element of colors...A change is always nice!

Valantina and I have been debating which company had the best Super Bowl XLIV commercial. After much discussion we've decided on a winner: it's Doritos! While Betty White being tackled was f*cking hysterical, the child slapping the horn dog trying to date his mother was even funnier.
Check out the hilarious commercial below.

If you ever considered Mariah Carey to be a demanding diva, let Miss Nicki Minaj clear that up for you. "When I met her, she was so funny and silly," Nicki told MTV News. "I thought when I was gonna work with Mariah, [she] was gonna be like this diva. But we were cracking jokes the whole day. She's a sweet, down-to-earth person."
Minaj, who collaborated with Mariah on her new single "Up Out My Face," was more than honored to be a part of the project. "I didn't even tell anyone I shot a video with Mariah, because I didn't even believe it."

Over 100 million people in the United States tuned in Sunday night to watch the New Orleans Saint defeat the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. According to The Hollywood Reporter, early CBS estimates show Sunday's big game rising from last year's all-time high.
Super Bowl XLIV's rating was up 10% from the 2009's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals game which was seen by a record 98.7 million viewers. "Super Bowl XLIV could be the first sports program to ever domestically crack 100 million viewers" THR adds.
Firmer numbers will be available later today, including a total viewership tally. With that being said, congratulations New Orleans! I'm glad my season of cheering, not to mention your hard work, has paid off.
