Send in your suggestions for MTV Jams’ Tiger Woods accident playlist!

Monday, November 30th, 2009


Following Tiger Woods’ car accident/ holiday media debacle this weekend, Yardbarker.com’s Director of Programming and friend to Steady Burn, Alana G, pitched the idea of a Tiger Woods crash video playlist to MTV Jams via Twitter, and MTV might run with it!







It is an 100% true statement to say that MTV considering a video playlist inspired by Tiger’s crash is the biggest media development in the Tiger Woods crash investigation at this time.




Great execution, Alana. If Tiger Woods is determined to play this one so close to the vest that I have to turn on The Today Show this morning and hear the likes of Mike Lupica say, “He’ll golf his way out of this.” (Also, a 100% true statement), then we should be allowed to throw some jabs in his direction.

Check out her suggested playlist at Alanag.yardbarker.com and send her some suggestion. Keeping with the sensibility of MTV Jams (the early 2000′s iteration that I’m most familiar with), for my suggestion – the artist is Usher, the song is ‘Confessions.’

Just wait, the Lil’ Wayne Usain Bolt Tribute song is on the fast track

He breaks records, I make records…umm?

That would be my dismal non-attempt at offering an opening line to the Lil’ Wayne tribute rap for Usain Bolt. The song is probably already in production – probably already in post-production considering the news that Bolt is a fan of Weezy came out hours ago.

“When I was in the Olympics,” he told us, “I didn’t really listen to music. During the Olympics, it was mainly reggae, a little hip-hop. But I like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, those guys. That’s who we listen to in Jamaica. A little bit of Ludacris. But as long as it’s hot, we got it.” [...]


“Right now, it’s Lil Wayne, #1,” he said. “He’s hot. He’s got everything. He sings the right tunes. I’m seriously listening to all his songs right now. Really sitting down, listening to his lyrics, and he’s got his lyrics [down] pat now. He’s got his lyrics. He’s coming up like Jay-Z. He’s smooth. He’s got a different flow from Jay-Z, but lyrics-wise, he’s got it. He’s a lyricist. Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, I don’t care who comes third. These guys have the whole place on edge, man. It’s hot.”

He run fast, Weezy gets cash…

Geez, I am a wack MC. Can you think of anything better? Doesn’t matter. Wayne’s already dashed his way in and out of the studio. It’s probably on like 7 mixtapes by now.

Speaking of, How did Mixtape Daily get an interview with Usain Bolt?

Billy Corgan Resurrects Bullet With Butterfly Wings For Wrestling Commercial

The last time I was a legit WWF fan, this song was a staple on MTV’s 120 Minutes (Pinfield For Life)

It’s actually TNA Wrestling (WWE sister organization?) who commissioned Billy Corgan for this spot to promote this weekend’s pay-per-view.

Check out the promo (Weird? Awesome? Douchey?) and the original video for old times sake…
