Watch A Microsoft Exec Hilariously Drop A Very NSFW Rap In Leaked Party Video
Microsoft exec Michael Angiulo had a pretty good day today: Microsoft Surface, an awesome product he helped make and introduce, opened up for pre-orders and this beyond awesome rap he did with rapper Too Short for his 40th birthday came out to the public. This guy is my new favourite technology executive.
Watch Run DMC’s Christmas In Hollis Remixed With Emoji
We’ve seen Aziz Ansari remix Jay-Z and Kanye in emoji and now here’s Run DMC’s festive Christmas in Hollis done up with funny faces and random characters too! What’s better, it’s an actual video! The song syncs with the moving stream of emoji messages on the iPhone. So good.
Watch Some Girls Rap About Windows Phone 7
This morning I watched a video compilation of botflies being pulled out of bleeding human flesh. Compared to this “Windows Phone 7 Fangirls Video”, the botfly footage is like butter and candy. This internet deserves destruction. Now.

OK, I think we’ve gotten to the point where those Taiwanese news CGI recreations have officially gotten out of control. Don’t believe me? Maybe this Barack Obama-Hu Jintao rap battle will convince you.
Star Wars Rap Is Better Than The Phantom Menace
Considering it’s a Star Wars based gangsta rap, I’m kinda disappointed that nobody whacked Jar Jar Binks, even though it’s original trilogy material. Still, definitely worth a watch on a Friday.
Classic Hip-Hop Album Covers Redone in Lego: Dr. Dre is More Cuddly as a Minifig
The ironists over at Formatmag have taken 20 classic hip-hop albums and Lego-fied them, making famous grumpy scowlers like The Game and Nas into everyone’s favourite tiny plastic figurines.
‘CrackBerry Love’ Tribute Ruins Ten Years of BlackBerry in About Four Minutes
Gadget-inspired songs are almost always terrible, but this, this is something else. A kind-of-spoof, kind-of-ad performed by legendary nobody Caitlen Moe, “Crackberry Love” is an unmitigated disaster. Things to watch for: a man in a BlackBerry suit, endless T-Mobile shout-outs that the company almost certainly didn’t ask for, and the line “my Crack and I, we got a date.” Slightly NSFW for language, and because your boss might hate it enough to just fire you out of spite.

Astrobiology Rap Proves That Science Is Fun, Nothing Really Rhymes with Abiogenesis
If the fantastic Large Hadron Collider rap was too esoteric for your tastes, Oort Kuiper’s Astrobiology rap, commissioned by a European astronomy magazine, probably won’t find its way onto your prestigious and exclusive “muzic 4 drivin’ ‘n’ shit” playlist. But, in the spirit of science, consider the facts:
Why Rap Stars Are Hating on the iPhone
newVideoPlayer("/iphonerappers_giz.flv", 475, 286,""); At the Rock the Bells festival on Sunday I asked some of the most important hip-hop artists in the game—and my heroes since childhood—what they hated most about the iPhone. Whether they owned it or not, most of the stars had a good reason to dis the overhyped phone, and their answers ranged from the mundane (Trugoy from De La Soul says it’s “too cute”) to the slightly crazy (dead prez’s M-1 brought up the Matrix and Big Brother). Only Wu-Tang’s Method Man couldn’t find a way to bring the pain—we expect a new single, “F-A-N-B-O-Y Man”, any day now.
