One Armed Basketball Player

To see Porter Ellett warming up for a high school basketball game, he looks out of place and you would expect to see him sitting on the bench, instead of the starting for Wayne High School.

"It's kind of fun to see people's reactions when they doubt you and they see you walk out on the court and wonder why you are even playing; then you get to go out and prove what you are worth," Ellett said.

Porter lost his right arm in an accident when he was a young boy. While having only one arm to compete with is a disadvantage, Porter likes the challenge, scoring 16 of his team's 50 points, with steals, rebounds and a blocked shot. His coach, Kade Morrell, calls him a natural leader for the team.

"He's got a winning attitude and he's a prime example of how far attitude can take you. It's not what happens to you, but how you react and how you deal with it that matters in life," Morrell said.

While the spotlight is on Porter much more than his team, he is the first to credit his teammates for helping him win, both on and off the court. "My teammates, my friends, I wouldn't be anything, they are my support. When other people knock me down, they are always there. They've always been positive, always told me I could do anything."

Nalts Uses Another Peter Toh Track

Last Week, Nalts Used a Peter Toh Track and we just saw that he used another in his latest video, Beginner's Luck. He really consistently puts out some of the best content on Youtube, and we're psyched that he keeps fitting Peter's Tracks in his videos! So check it out...

Beginner's Luck

Patch Nalts faces some bullies who claim to be better at basketball and guitar. But humble Patch comes out strong.

Top 10 Rappers

Blah blah blah blah blah.

10. Nas - He’s in, Jay’s out. Sorry, but Nas’ first two albums are ridiculously strong, and after what I would call 2 rather crappy albums, “I Am” and “Nastradamus,” Nas came back big time with several more great LPs.

9. Black Thought - The Roots are the shit. Black Thought is arguably the most under-rated MC of all time, except for maybe Hammer. His rhymes are cutting and intelligent, and he’s got some serious style and a cool ass band to back him up- Quest Love where you at?

8. Rakim - Pioneer. One of, if not the first MC to rhyme multiple words in different parts of his lines, Rakim is ultra creative and has a mesmerizing voice that’s hard core without having to be explicitly violent. A true Master of Ceremonies.

7. Common Sense - One of my personal favorites, the brotha Com has been doing his thing since back in the day. I think Common has released about 7 albums, and every single one of them is off the hook. Plus he doesn’t have like 20 featured artists on each of his albums- he can actually carry the whole thing by himself.

6. Big Pun - The one who makes the kids run. Unfortunately it seems that if you are a rapper with the word Big any where in your name you are more likely to die young. That’s why you don’t see any rappers nowadays with Big in their name. True story. All I really have to say about Big Pun, is he rapped “Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know every riddle to middle man who didn’t do diddly.” And that is why he’s the man.

5. KRS-One - Yes my son; KRS-One was the first MC, that, if you messed with him and tried to battle, your career was OVER. What’s up Shan? Mixing in the Rude Boi wickedness, KRS-One is possibly the smartest rapper to ever touch a mic. Who else raps about the falsehoods of organized religion and it’s thievery of astrology; that pretty much sums up why he’s not a mainstream rapper right there. Don’t worry though, Nelly, you really did kill him in your little battle…

4. Biggie - Biggie is kind of like everyone’s favorite rapper, at least in New York. He was one of the most descriptive MCs of all time, able to paint a perfect picture with words. His voice and his style are so unique that there really will never be anyone like him ever again. But coming from the mean streets of Bed Stuy he should’ve known not to talk shit about Kwame.

3. Tupac - He and Big will be forever linked- they are two of the most influential artists in this genre. Tupac was heartfelt, his voice was dynamic, and he really had something to say. Plus when he blew up there were a lot of really shitty rappers, kind of like now, and everyone was like, “who da fuck is dis dude?” Word.

2. Big L - If he wasn’t murdered, Big L might have been far and away the greatest rapper of all time. No one can rap like him. If you ever listen to the 7 minute “freestyle” with him and Jay-Z, you’ll hear how unbelievably ridiculous Jay-Z was. Then you’ll hear how Big L just blows an unbelievably ridiculous rapper right out of the water. They weren’t battling each other, but rapping after Big L is kind of like going on stage after George Carlin.

1. Mos Def - No one has ever rapped about more significant shit. No one can fuck with his vocab. And as smart as he is, and as cool as his style is, he’s still street. Black on Both Sides is the greatest Hip Hop album EVER. Do the following- get Black on Both Sides, get the Blackstar album, get the old Bush Babies album, and then pick up the New Danger and True Magic. This guy is a different artist on every LP. And each one of these is the shit. Really listen to the man and then tell me someone is better, cause their not.

3am Phone Ad Girl is Obama Supporter

Wahhhh, I'm in the Hilary Clinton commercial! That's what this 17 year old Barrack Obama supporter was (kind of) saying to the news when speaking about appearing in the now famous "3am" Hilary Clinton Campaign Commercial. The image is of her sleeping in bed, while the voice over says something along the lines of "It's 3 am and your children are sleeping. Who would you want answering the phone?" During this, the footage of the girl is shown, which was called "stock footage from 8 years ago, while she worked as a tv extra". So she's all beside herself because she's this big Obama supporter, and is rallying for him and the whole nine. Who's fault is it though? Maybe, just maybe, if her parents didn't throw her in these extra spots when she 9, she wouldn't have this "problem". Without saying it, they pretty much put it on Hillary in a subtle way, as if she had anything to do with this saying, "(Hillary) couldn't have picked a more unwilling star". Let this be a lesson to the parents out there, who feel the need to get their young kid a part as an extra in a commercial. Since it is available on Getty Images, anyone can use this clip now for a nominal fee, and she does not get any royalties or anything! So not only is she helping to endorse the candidate that she is against, but she's not even getting paid for it! I don't know much about politics, but I do know that a 17 year old girl should be hanging out at the mall, not the Democratic Conventions. I'm not choosing between the two yet, and looking like a flip-flopper, so I'll say that I'll be happy with either of the two Democrats. This is all unless I get very wealthy, in that case, I'm voting Republican!

UCLA beats Cal or did they?

UCLA beats Cal on shot with 1.5 seconds left, that would've knocked out any challenger in HORSE. This circus shot was taken from behind the backboard, and without touching anything, it went in to put UCLA ahead. But does it count? It turns out that the NCAA rule states that the ball shall be out of bounds when is passes over the backboard from any direction. Too bad the refs on the court didn't know this rule, and they counted this basketball, which ultimately gave UCLA the game with .7 seconds remaining. For some reason, it was not re viewable and the game ended in scandal. Whether it counts or not, this shot is hard enough to hit in horse, let alone while defended in crunch time in a game!

Savage Speaks: Bam Bam Bigelow

Bam Bam Bigelow. For years I knew him as “the big guy who did cartwheels.” Despite being in a prominent role in each of the Big 3 (WCW, WWE, ECW) at some point in his career he never truly found his niche. How, oh how could this be? Look at him, awesome outfit, awesome tattoos, all over his head like a true beast, a great and unique look, killer nickname (Beast from the East). Not only that, but he could back it up in the ring. Vader is the best big man ever, but Bam Bam is right behind him. An ensigueri, a top rope headbutt. Attempted moonsaults a lot but never really got them down. But damn, Bigelow could have easily been a focal point of a promotion as EITHER a killer heel or a bad ass face. He was believable as a guy who could kick some serious ass. Why did he never get a chance to shine?

Bam Bam’s first prominent wrestling role was in WCW against Barry Windham for the US title. He wrestled as a face and they wrestled at Starrcade . Honestly, I don’t know a lot about this period for him, but the match was said to be somewhat of a disappointment on Bam Bam’s end. Unfortunately. the highlight of Bam Bam’s career in WCW the first time around was a hilarious promo that Ric Flair cut on him. As would be a theme in his career, it just never clicked and he was off to the WWE.

Bam Bam came into the WWE amidst much hub bub in the late 80s. All of the managers were vying to get him. But The Orange Goblin was atop the mountain, and business was good with him on top, brotha. Whoa Bam Bam, do I really need to give you the rub dude? Anyways, Bam Bam’s first high profile appearance in WWE was Survivor Series 1987, where he was left alone with Andre. Imagine if he had defeated the Giant, been a top face for a while as Hogan’s pal and then stab him in the back and take his title? Throw in Bobby Heenan, and you have gold Jerry, gold. Needless to say, Bam Bam was jobbed out to the utterly immobile Giant and next was squashed by the one man gang at wrestlemania 4. As long as I have my title hulkamaniacs. They stick him with Oliver Humperdink? Guy was a heel manager his whole life and he played a shitty face. Bam Bam then left and came back as a heel. His highlight was definitely King Of The Ring 1993 when he went to the finals. He got lazier in the ring because he could see no one had faith in him. Then they job him out to a football player. That never helps.

ECW was a pretty cool period for Bam Bam. He worked that style for the first time in his career. I remember when he turned on Taz to form the Triple Threat with Candido and Douglas, which was cool. Still though, the highest he ever got was the TV title. The ONLY title he’s ever held aside from the WCW hardcore title. His matches with Taz didn’t really click either.

Arriving in WCW in the late 90s amidst similar hub bub, Bam Bam called out Goldberg like a true badass. This was big for WCW, which was definitely a more toned down product than the racy Raw episodes. “I want Goldberg! I want Goldberg!” The feud should have headlined Starrcade as the title match. I remember being so excited about this when it happened. At a time when WCW was having exciting moments fewer and further between them. Needless to say, they went with Kevin Nash because he had to end Goldberg’s streak. And then Hogan had to be champion again. And that killed Goldberg too. Two birds with one stone! And Bam Bam was left to be involved in taser attacks by Scott Hall. The taser, one of the truly mind numbingly and lazy ideas in wrestling. It sucks. Do a move for Christ sake. Now a Razor’s Edge on Bam Bam, that would be impressive. The raging fire started by Bam Bam’s entrance into WCW had turned into an unlit candle. He did some hardcore matches later in WCW, they reformed the ECW triple threat one night and then of course completely forget about it subsequently. Obviously, after being fucked with for so lon, his heart just didn’t seem into. Or maybe he wasn’t well, or both. RIP Bam Bam. As a good friend of mine has always said, “Bam Bam’s my champion.” Amazing to think what could have been.

"Chocolate Rain" Original Song by Tay Zonday

This clip became an overnight internet phenomenon. This really happened because no one was expecting the deepest voice ever to come out of this dude, on top of the song being extremely catchy! Listen to this once through, and be prepared to be singing this in your head for the rest of the day. He remains a novelty act to this day, but if he gets on the right track for himself, he can quickly become a more-famous novelty act. FYI - He looks young as hell, but he's actually like 25 or 26, which pushes him further into the novelty category. I know for a fact that there's good music on Youtube, but if some one can please show me an actual good song that was featured, I'd be shocked!
