With the NBA lockout seeming to have no end in site, some players are looking for ways to continue getting a check. While most of these players have taken their talents across the Atlantic to the EuroLeague, Delonte West found a job at a furniture store…

LOL did yall pay close attention to that application though?

Have you ever been convicted of a crime? *checks yes*

If yes please describe in full.  Misunderstanding

Haaaa! Delonte’s crazy ass is somem else.

Um, have ya’ll seen this heffa in all these commercials lately?! She looks GORGEOUS!!

Still don’t think I’ll be purchasing a Fiat or shopping at Kohl’s anytime soon but sheesh, Jennifer looks good!

J. Cole is the topic of nearly everyone’s discussions this week with the drop of his first album Cole World: The Sideline Story, which is absolutely dope by the way! This super talented newcomer sat down with Rolling Out magazine and spoke on his first encounter with Jay-Z…

On his first encounter with Jay-Z:

I graduated from St. John’s University. At the time, all of my friends got nine-to-five jobs and were making $30,000 to 40,000 per year. I was working at a newspaper in Queens making $8 per hour at a part-time job so that I could still do music at night. I heard that Jay-Z was recording the American Gangster album. That same night, I made two beats and I thought it would be perfect for Jay-Z. I went to the studio where Jay-Z was recording and I waited outside for three hours. His Phantom finally pulled up. I was super timid and shy. I had the CD in my hand and I tried to hand it to Jay-Z. He looked at it and said, What is this? I don’t want that. Give it to one of those other guys. It was crushing. That was another moment. But I snapped back to reality. I knew after that, I had to go harder. That type of rejection fuels me. I believe that greatness is fueled by rejection. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team; Jay-Z had trouble getting a record deal before Reasonable Doubt; and no one wanted to sign Kanye West as a rapper.

On how his new album reflects him as a person:

This album speaks to the type of artist I want to be. I think the album will provide thought provoking lyrics, and heartfelt stories. I want to take listeners on a ride. It shows the type of balance that I want to have as an artist. I want to be at the top of the list when it comes to rap. I want the respect of the hip-hop fans and connoisseurs. I want to be on everybody’s list. [Source]

Haaaa! I came across this knife set and thought it was hilarious. Would make a great gift for a friend who recently went through a break-up. They come in several colors: red, silver, pink or black.

Depending on the color, they range in price from $39-$70. You can purchase HERE.

Marty Mar just recently signed a deal with CBS to create a new comedy show that he will star in. To me this good news if he taps into the greatness that was Martin but if it’s anything like  some of his new stuff I’m not all that psyched.

Check out J. Cole‘s new video for Can’t Get Enough off his new album. They filmed the video in Barbados and even Rihanna makes a cameo. Fun.
