The Playahata Awards 2006 edition brings the acclaim and shame like Huey and Caesar did back in the Boondocks comic strip. It gives love where it’s due and hits below the belt when it’s more than deserved. Between Playahata.com and Davey D’s sites, my faith in Hip-Hop survives. To tell the truth, I want that t-shirt that Naomi Campbell’s wearing. I’m sure there’s a funny, suggestive line to follow that up with, but I’ll leave that up to you.

In other words, it took 30 SWAT guys to take down a guy that makes mixtapes.
Finally, farewell to wrestler Bam Bam Bigelow who passed away Friday. He was a favorite of mine back in the day, especially as a big man that could move much faster than you’d imagine. I’ll have to watch that match he had against Taz tonight in his memory. As I thought, Lance Storm has a great tribute to the man on his StormWrestling site. Beast of the East, rest in peace and thanks for those matches and overall coolness.
