New Kool Keith telling the story of my life
http://totalorgasm.bandcamp.com/track/strip-club-husband
Kendrick Speaks
On his next album:
I got ideas, I haven’t really locked in the studio yet. Really challenge myself to do something better. I mean, of course you want to do better than your last. But creatively, I want to be in another space. That’s the challenge, if anything.
On “Control:”
It wasn’t pre-meditated, it just came to me when I was writing that bar,” says Lamar. “The crazy part is, I didn’t think it would ever go to where diss records were coming at me. I thought people would be like… he threw some challenges out there… that was dope.
Kanye taught me to never to downplay your ideas. I learned to always stay as creative as possible and never have any boundaries. Those things that people called ‘rants’ on-stage are real conversations that we had behind closed doors — about business and how when you get to a certain level people won’t want to see you break through because they only see you as a rapper.
On his GRAMMY nominations:
I was actually on stage, so I had no idea. Everybody else knew but me. By the time I got off I kinda got the news late. It was a great feeling, everybody was happy, excited. We celebrated in that dressing room.

Some Bonus Chuck
"I don't run because I get tired and I don't lift weights because they're heavy."
During the 2010 Dunk contest
"Maybe no one will win."
"When I was recruited at Auburn, they took me to a strip joint. When I saw those titties on Buffy, I knew that Auburn met my academic requirements."
On Nate Robinson: "You ever notice how Gatorade don't work for players who suck?"
Ernie Johnson: And now we head to the final round of the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. Any thoughts going forward?
Charles Barkley: I think if I was at home right now I'd be poppin' in season 2 of Homeland.
Tony Kornheiser: Chuck, I think if you and MJ walked into a restaurant together some people would be saying "hey, who's the old guy with Charles Barkley?"
Charles Barkley: There's two things I know when I'm with Michael. Number one, people are gonna recognize him first and number two, I'm gonna have to pick up the check.
One night in a Phoenix restaurant, some sailors had too much to drink and one of them decided he was going to fight Barkley. Two or three others were poised to jump in. Barkley looked at me and said, "You ever been in a bar fight?" I told him no. He said, "Well, there's a first time for everything. Now, take off your glasses."
Kenny: "Why won't you ever buy your woman a watch?" Chuck: "'Cause there's a clock on the stove."
"I hate to see the shirt he didn't buy" commenting on Westbrooks ugly shirt.
"We're just playing basketball. It's not like we're going out to have unprotected sex with Magic."
"Today is Jimmy Hatter's birthday -- he's the gay guy we got workin' behind the scenes, y'all. We hire them all at TNT. We do not discriminate. We hired the pimp last year, Craig Sager, and now we got Jimmy Hatter. We got all the ethnic groups covered."
I know why his name is DMX. Because his real name is Earl. Imagine if his name was Earl the rapper.
As long as Bird is around I will only be the second-worst defensive player in basketball.
His greeting to new Rocket Elmer Bennett: "Elmer? I ain't never met a brother named Elmer. I can't believe that. A brother named Elmer. I have been alive 33 years, and I ain't never met a brother named Elmer. I've heard of Elmer Fudd, but that's it. They named a fella Elmer."
"I cannot believe that Dan Rather didn't just kill Saddam Hussein when he was interviewing him, and that would have saved us all that money going to war. He could have said, 'Hey Saddam, let's go get something to eat,' and then stabbed him in the neck with a fork. That could have saved us $26 billion dollars we're giving to Turkey. We could have used that money to fix the public school system here in America." -Charles Barkley
During the Dream Team Documentary, when talking about Chuck Daly.
"His hair was beautiful. His suits were immaculate."
"Yea Ernie, its called defense, I mean i wouldn't know anything about it but ive heard about it through the grapevine."
During Rondo's amazing start to last season Charles claimed 'I'mma set my daughter up with Rajon Rondo'
"There's nothing worse than a black man with crusty lips." After being asked if he stored vaseline in his belly button
Kenny gives lengthy detailed breakdown of why the 2002 Wizards won't make the playoffs
Charles: "The Wizards ain't gonna make the playoffs cause... they aint a good basketball team."
laughter
Chuck: "If your best player... is a 40 year old man, you aint a good basketball team! I don't care who it is."
The Wolf of Wall Street was just..
Just..
Incredible. From start to finish. Leo + Scorcese smashed it. It's in my top 10. Possibly even top 5.
3 hours flys by but you better get Gallery seats.
9.5/10

Because we haven't had any Chuck for a while
There is no athlete or TV personality quite like Chuck. Never one to shy away from what is on his mind here are Charles Barkley's top 50 quotes of all time.
50. "I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan."
49. "You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right."
48. "I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime."
47. "We better not be doing the Bulls this year. Man, they suck! Bunch of high school kids with $70 million contracts. Damn! I hate my mother for having me too soon."
46. "You can talk without saying a thing. I don't ever want to be that type of person."
45. After retiring from basketball "I'm just what America needs - another unemployed black man.
44. Ernie: "Did they recognize you in South Dakota?"
Charles: "Yes, they did. It was easy because I was the only black person there. When they see me walking down the street they say 'There he goes again'. And when I come back the next year they say 'He's back yawl!'"
43. Right after Peja won the 3-point contest: "Kenny said it was going to be an all-international night. I want to know which international brother is going to win the slam dunk contest."
42. On the Enron scandal investigation: "Almost all those politicians took money from Enron, and there they are holding hearings. That's like O.J. Simpson getting in the Rae Carruth jury pool."
41. "I had to explain to my daughter why that skank Monica Lewinski has an hour special on HBO this weekend."
40. Ernie: "Auburn is a pretty good school. To graduate from there I suppose you really need to work hard and put forth maximum effort."
Charles: "20 pts and 10 rebounds will get you through also!"
39. "Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's old enough to take care of that herself."
38. EJ: "Did you graduate from Auburn?"
Charles: "No, but I have a couple people working for me who did."
37. "Dick Bavetta and Moses parted the Red Sea together."
36. Ernie Johnson, on Reggie Evans being caught grabbing the rocks of Chris Kaman: "(Reggie Evans) got caught with his hand in the cookie jar."Charles Barkley: "Ernie, I don't know where you get your cookies at but the rest of us don't get ours there."
35. On his 17-year old daughter not dating yet: "Thank goodness. I just hope she doesn't start before I go in the Hall of Fame. That way, I won't have to kill anybody before I get inducted."
34. Kenny: "There's guys who go over to Europe and play overseas from America, and they dominate!"
Charles: "Those are called 'brothers'
33. After Wang has a shot blocked: "He's got to bring something stronger than that. That's like bringing milk to a bar, it's not strong enough"
32. Barkley on Turner Sports office having a betting pool on his weight: "That is starting to hurt my feelings. I don't mind skinny people making fun of me, we all do that, but I don't want fat people making fun of me."
31. "We are in the business of kicking butt and business is very, very good."
30. When the Dream Team was about to play the Angola national team, during pre-game interviews the other USA players provided diplomatic, face saving comments about how they would play hard and felt strongly they would win. When Chuck was asked about Angola and the game, he replied: "They're in a lot of trouble."
29. Charles Barkley on his thoughts about retiring before the season: "I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'"
28. Man, everything gets blamed on the Clintons, every single thing in this world. I think Bill Clinton shot JFK, too.
27. "I know why his name is DMX. Because his real name is Earl. Imagine if his name was Earl the rapper."
26. "If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick. Same thing."
25. After Kevin Garnett threw a ball into the crowd out of frustration and was ejected. They showed footage of the man that got hit by the ball being taken away in a stretcher and his daughter was crying. Charles commented that players take passes to the face all the time. He topped it off by saying: "You know why that little girl's crying? It's because she's thinking 'my daddy's a wussy'".
24. Barkley on Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith eating a box of hot Krispy Kreme donuts in front of him: “Both of y’all are2 going to hell for that. Y’all are going to hell with a first-class ticket. Is that how you treat your partner? Krispy Kreme might be the greatest invention in the history of civilization when they’re hot. Y’all are cruel man.”
23. "It's kinda great to see the Celtics doin well again cuz that was so much fun in my day to go to the Boston Garden and they spit at you and throw things at you and talk about your mom. It sounds like dinner at Kenny Smith's house."

14. "All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine."
13. On North Carolina missing 22 of its last 23 shots in losing to Georgetown in the NCAA tournament last weekend: "Stevie Wonder could make one of 23 shots."
12. I'd never buy my girl a watch... she's already got a clock over the stove.
11. "I always laugh when people ask me about rebounding techniques. I've got a technique. It's called just go get the damn ball."
