I figured since I had a picture of Rakim on my blog header I should probably post a song of his. In my opinion, the greatest lyricist ever. Not my favorite rapper, but can not deny his linguistic skills. Here are 2 of his more critically acclaimed songs. “Microphone Fiend” is a beast lyrically, not too hot on the beat. “Paid in Full” is one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time. Beat, lyrics, flow, attitude. It has it all.

Randy Couture up and quit the UFC couple days ago after Dana White(douchebag extraordinaire) was unable to sign the baddest man on the planet, Fedor Emelianenko. Randy, was upset that Dana(douchebag) was offering Fedor a fuckload of money. Couture felt Dana should have given some of that money to the top guys who helped build the company to where it is. So Randy quit and relinquished his heavyweight title. And now the heavyweight division is a fuckin’ mess.

Side note…Fedor Emelianenko has signed with the Russian M-1 Mix-Fight Championships, a group reportedly being funded by an American entertainment related company.
