BIRDMEN RULING THE ROOST / WAMP WAMP

My third favorite NBA player--second favorite white player, holla--had an amazing game last night, propelling the Nuggets to victory over the Wizards: Chris "Birdman" Andersen had 18 pts, 11 rbs and 6 blocks over only 22 minutes. Birdman missed two entire seasons due to a drug suspension but re-entered the NBA last spring as a reserve on the Hornets and is now back on the courts dunking, blocking, and flying high. Like this:

God damn, I love this man.

Note also:

Musical soundtracking in video by "The Other Birdman", Lil Wayne dad stand-in Ronald Williams aka Baby.

Baby is more or less an ATROCIOUS song-killing rapper, and is mostly noteworthy for appending his trademarked (non-word) "birdsound" to southern rap tracks over the past ten years. A runthrough of Baby's career includes far too many terrible cuts to list--including, allegedly, an entire collabo album recorded with R. Kelly in 2004--but one unquestionable highlight was his Neptunes-produced track with Clipse, "What Happened to that That Boy", which thankfully limits Bird to one not-terrible verse and tons and tons of "brrrrr" birdsounds. Brrrrrrr!!!!!:

And fuck yes:
Watching that shit is making me HUNGER for the next Clipse record, to come sometime later this year. The first track, featuring Kanye, was rumored to be dropping March 9 but it's March 21 now and I ain't seen shit. However, do pick up the ...Road Til the Casket Drops mixtape though if you haven't already. It's brief and ain't sniffin' Vol 1 or 2, but I feel it way more than 4 Cheap Vol. 3 or that slept-on Re-up Gang record (unnecessary rendition of "Pop Champagne" notwithstanding).

Man, I love these motherfuckers:

WAMP WAMP!!!

Love
Jeffrey
