"Who's Your Caddy" Movie Trailer - Unedited Version
(click to view)

Synopsis
Who’s Your Caddy? is a hilarious, fish-out-of-water comedy about superstar rap mogul, C-Note (Big Boi), who runs into fierce opposition when he tries to join the super stuffy Carolina Pines Golf & Country Club. Undeterred, C-Note gets the brilliant idea to buy the land adjacent to the golf club’s 17th hole, which he cleverly leverages to gain membership. C-Note’s crew wreaks havoc as they bring their larger-than-life style to the club. As the club’s hoighty-toighty leadership desperately tries to revoke C-Note’s membership, our hero realizes that his family’s honor – and secret record-breaking golf history – is at stake. As he takes on the fight of his life, C-Note pulls out all the stops to bring down the club’s backwards establishment and welcome them to the 21st century.

MTV goes hard with new Sunday lineup!

Posted at 7/19/2007 06:43:00 PM

Sunday nights are getting revved up and blinged out on MTV as new car makeover competition series, "Trick It Out" joins returning favorite "Pimp My Ride," for its final season starting on Sunday, July 22nd at 10pm ET/PT.

"Trick It Out" takes car customization to an even greater level as auto specialists are pushed to their creative limits beginning Sunday, July 22nd at 10:00pm ET/PT. Car customizers are obsessed with being the best and thrive on one upping each other as they flaunt their skills. Hosted by Becky O'Donohue ("American Idol"), MTV will embrace this competitive spirit as some of the top auto shops in the LA area go head to head in an all out battle to "trick out" the best rides.

Each week, two crews of four makeover specialists will represent their shops as they compete against each other to see who has the best car customization skills in the land. Both teams will be given similar beat-up cars, 10 days, and $15,000 to turn their worn-out clunkers into the most badass looking rides imaginable. However, the teams will have to customize their cars according to a different theme each week... horror, safari, sixties, military, cartoon. Car expert RJ Devera will determine the winning crew who will not only take home bragging rights and their winning car, but the losers ride as well.

After turning a '65 Chevy Impala into an 800 horsepower biodiesel clean machine and liquidated a Ford ice cream truck into a frozen asset, MTV's "Pimp My Ride" will return for its final season on Sunday, July 22nd at 10:30PM ET/PT. Rap superstar and host Xzibit is joined by car customization specialist Mad Mike and his crazy car makeover team at GAS (Galpin Auto Sports) to make the dreams of even more car-challenged fans come true. The final eight episodes have only been seen once before in the "Pimp My Ride" marathon which aired June 9th on MTV.

To catch up on new and previous episodes of "Pimp My Ride," viewers can purchase episodes on Amazon Unbox (http://unbox.amazon.com/), AOL Video http://video.aol.com/), iTunes Store (http://www.itunes.com/ ) and Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360.New episodes are available to download on these services the day after its on-air premiere.

The Party Crashers "Uncureable" (Audio)

Posted at 7/19/2007 04:45:00 PM

Exclusive Audio
Word up everybody, this your main man Destro. I just wanted to put you onto my homies The Party Crashers. Their a cool hip hop duo out of Oakland, California with a cool sound. I've included a track called "Uncureable" which I'd like you to listen to. It's dope. Oh, a bio of the band is below.

"Uncureable" (click to listen)

Biography
Ever since the days of the Beastie Boys and Tha Alkaholiks, the hip-hop music industry has been starving for a group like The Party Crashers. Growing up in the surroundings of Oakland, CA during the 80's and 90's, the underground sound of the Bay Area was embedded in their soul. The party won't ever be the same now that Nick V & Expel are crashing the industry.

As the self titled debut album hits the streets and the internet, The Party Crashers stay busy working on their sophmore album as well as their own solo projects. The combination of Nick V's mind for production and Expel's ear as a DJ make up the soundtrack to crash a party to. The chemistry between the two lyrically is more than anyone can ask for when it comes to a live performance. When they hit the stage, the show has just begun.

The two first linked up in the Oakland based crew, International Loose Cannons. Through years of shows at major venues such as the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, the House of Blues in Vegas, and all the way out to shows in Hellsinki; it was a no brainer. Nick V & Expel had to bring their self-indulging style to the world. The brilliance of their sound comes from the innovative mind of Nick V. His perceptiveness for sound keeps the dance floor packed and leaves the crowd with their hands up. Being a DJ for 16 years, Expel has the knack to rock a crowd. Bringing an original craft to the production and the know-how to keep heads nodding. Together, their candid demeanor carries from the studio to the stage, giving all customers a fresh sound that will leave them feeling a part of The Party Crashers Movement.

The album is a story that everyone can relate to. The first song "Come on In" shows that these are the type of guys you want at your event. Whether you know them or not, they just seem so damn loveable. "Why Not!?" which was one of the first songs recorded for the album, sets the table for an "anything goes" mentality. Songs such as "Top Shelf Quality" and "Don't Mind If I Do" give the listener a feeling of equality. These guys don't wanna be backstage away from the fans. They want to be at the bar buying a round for everyone. The final song on the album "Uncureable", is a mixture between the feeling the next morning and the feeling that night. "I swear I'll never drink again!" Yeah right!

Gracing the stage with artists such as Living Legends, Tha Alkaholiks, Hieroglyphics, Zion-I, and Brother Ali; The Party Crashers are well on their way to solidifing themselves in the hip-hop world. From their quirky lyrics and head nodding beats, to their wild stage presence and alluring personalities; this group is sure to keep hip-hop alive. It's only a matter of time before they show up at your door.

Mr. J. Medeiros starts campaign against Human-Trafficking and Child Pornography

Posted at 7/19/2007 04:25:00 PM

Mr. J Medeiros is an eloquent hip-hop artist on a mission to create massive social change through music, in more areas than one. In keeping with the release of his debut solo-album “Of gods and girls” on July 24th, 2007, Mr. J officially launches his anti child trafficking campaign “IamConstance.org” in Los Angeles today; a website that relates to the non-traditional, “hit” single off the album: “Constance”.

“Constance” is the true story of a girl raised in The Philippines, kidnapped, and forced into prostitution and internet pornography at a young age. The video for “Constance” (which has already compiled over 100,000 views on YouTube), illustrates how Americans support this scenario everyday through “legal” and “illegal” internet porn sites.

“People don’t see the connection between clicking on the internet here and someone being raped in a hotel room on the other side of the world,” exclaims J, “I want people to recognize our responsibility in what is happening here. Child pornography is a $3 Billion dollar market and the porn industry all together is $57 Billion worldwide; it brings in more money than professional football, baseball, and basketball franchises combined.”

The story of Constance aims to show the massive population of pornography users, that they may be fueling rape, abuse, human-trafficking, and child pornography. This is where the “IamConstance.org” campaign comes into play – the website hosts countless anonymous accounts from victims of trafficking, kidnapping and abuse. The purpose is to create change by revealing the magnitude of these atrocities.

The “I Am Constance Campaign” was born when J released the video online, and was immediately flooded with hundreds of YouTube comments, MySpace letters and personal accounts from women and men sharing their painful stories evoked by watching “Constance.” This sent Medeiros on a mission to tell these people’s stories, and show how many people are affected by this issue.

Mr. J’s hope is to increase awareness and accountability for these crimes. More than half of sexual assaults go unreported. J has partnered with organizations like humantrafficking.org, I Am Coming, and XXXchurch, in the hopes to break the silence about these crimes. They aim to rally support to demand that the UN increase minimum penalties for Human Trafficking worldwide. “800,000 women and children are kidnapped, trafficked and raped each year. That’s 2200 people each and every day, one every 39 seconds. Traffickers who are arrested may receive as little as 1 -4 years in prison. This has to stop,” demands J.
