TDU: DeShawn Stevenson

Not only was DeShawn Stevenson clutch beyond the arc in the finals against the Heat, but he also likes to party. While celebrating winning the Larry O'Bryan Trophy with the Dallas Mavericks, DeShawn forgot to stop drinking and got arrested for public intoxication. A couple days later he made some headlines again with his custom tee. The link for the article is below as well as a flic of his sick shirt.

DeShawn Stevenson Public Intoxication Article


TDU: Super Slow Motion Bitch Slap

Just as the title says, watch a guy with some chubby cheeks get bitch/pimp slapped in hi def super slow motion. There was also a YouTube comment I can't ignore since I'm sure the general population excluding pre-teen and teenage girls would appreciate: "Why couldn't this be done to Justin Bieber"?

TDU: Flava In Ya Ear > Mac Miller - Best Day Ever

Mac Miller along with some other Pittsburgh heads are making big noise these days. This MixTape came out a little while ago and has produced some big tunes bangin' out of speakers everywhere. Hopefully you've heard this by now otherwise get your priorities straight.

TDU: Jon Lajoie

This comedian from Canada has been putting out some jokes videos for the past few years, you may know him from instant classics like Show Me Your Genitals (Genitalia!) and Everyday Normal Guy, however today I bring you the WTF Collection. I'm beginning to think Jon Lajoie is borderline schizophrenic but it makes for some good humour. Check it

TDU: The Big 3 - Album, Car, and Goddess

Album: Illmatic
Artist: Nas

Illmatic is regarded as one of the best rap albums to ever be released. This is not personal opinion but fact. The world was given a timeless classic the day Nas dropped his debut album. He brought a new mindset to the rap game with rhythmically immaculate lyricism unheard of up until that point. The Queensbridge native solidified himself as rap's top elite and basically changed the game. I listen to the majority of these songs on a daily basis still.



                                                   

Car: Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0


The latest GT3 from Porsche is a stunna! Sporting the biggest 911 engine to date, this beast rips 500 hp at 8,250 rpm. In other words it bends 0-60 over in 3.9 seconds. For all the Porsche lovers out there this basically tops the list, not to mention only 600 units will be produced.



Goddess: Kim Kardashian

I would.


TDU: Epic Meal Time

For those of you who haven't heard of Epic Meal Time yet you are in for a treat...not a treat in the traditional sense of the word..more in a delicious, salty, cholesterol riddled, baconated to the extreme sense. The video you are about to witness will leave you shocked, scared, and happy to the point of tears.   The makers of the video have a motto: Health is overrated.

TDU: Smooth Move

Welcome to another installment of TDU Smooth Move. Today we will illustrate why drinking in excess and driving are a terrible combination. This guy is simply plastered beyond belief - motor skills are just non existent at this point of his night and clearly a DUI was justified. In fact, I wonder if he was even driving on the road when he got pulled over, enjoy



TDU: Worth Reading

Sean Murphy is hands down one of the smartest people I've read about in recent history. After years of dealing with a painful wart on his hand, trying recommended ointments and creams to no avail, he came to the one obvious solution anyone in their right mind would come to... shooting it off with a Beretta shotgun. During the procedure he also managed to somehow blast off his middle finger. To add insult to injury, he was charged with illegal possession of a firearm. Check it

TDU: Coning

'Planking' in case you haven't heard has taken the world by storm. For those of you unfamiliar with 'planking', it consists of lying as flat as possible while someone takes a picture of you in 'plank' form...probably the most retarded fad I've ever heard of. However, I came across what I hope becomes the next stupid fad movement - 'Coning'. This guy just might be on to something, for starters the video is stupid funny, and secondly the reaction on drive through employee's faces are priceless. Check it



TDU: The Big 3 - Album, Car, and Goddess

Album: Infinite
Artist: Eminem

Eminem is one of the most talented lyricists of all time no question. He was initially recognized for his incredible freestyling ability which proved throughout the Detroit underground before his career took off, and also placed second at Scribble Jam, eventually losing to Supernatural. Most people haven't heard this album but once you do you will realize the immense talent Slim Shady possesses and how much his music has changed over the years. Check it
























Car: Ferrari Enzo

The Ferrari Enzo is one of those cars that needs to be tamed; powered by a 6.0 L V12 engine and boasting a 0-60 time of 3.14 seconds behind 614 horses, its no wonder so many owners end up totaling their baby. Its a shame too seeing as buying an Enzo will set you back a modest $670,000.


Goddess: Adriana Lima

Do I really need to explain myself for choosing miss Lima? Didn't think so.



TDU: Some Classic Humour

I haven't seen a good old Calvin and Hobbes comic in a while, came across these today, thought I'd share 







 

TDU: Vancouver Riot Images Post Game 7

We all know Vancouver up chucked throughout the series being lucky to have won games 1 and 2 on home ice, narrowly avoiding a sweep. Some idiot Vancouver fans were clearly not impressed with the failed attempt at winning Lord Stanley at home in game 7. Here's the evidence





TDU: Smooth Move

This is a real gem of a 'smooth move' caught on HD cameras and televised worldwide as a challenge on The Amazing Race. Not only does this chick smoke herself in the face with a watermelon, she also doesn't show the knight "who's boss" as her teammate was suggesting in the background for support. The theme is also fitting as there are jesters walking around juggling like idiots making it even more funny when they go to help watermelon girl. To top it all off her sympathetic teammate then tells her she has to complete the challenge because the clock is ticking and "they don't call it the amazing race for nothing". Check it

TDU: Flava in Ya Ear > The Come Up - In Good Hands

Normally I would wait longer until the next segment of TDU: Flava in Ya Ear but this mixtape I came across late last night has blown me away. Pittsburgh is doin it up BIG, The Come up - In Good Hands is a masterpiece of a MixTape brought to you by Big Jerm on the beats (big part of Mac Miller's success), with Fran and Vinny (also Pittsburgh natives)  displaying that illmatic word play. Get at this MixTape ASAP

TDU: Unforgivable

Here's one of the funniest YouTube videos ever...the subject matter is crude to the bone, but funny regardless of how terrible this guy apparently treats his 'bitch'. The guy in the video can barely keep a straight face as you will see with the editing cuts...anyway - all I can say is: bitch get me a chicken sandwich n some waffle fries...fo free!

TDU: The Big 3 - Album, Car, and Goddess

Album: Aquemini
Artist: Outkast

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say Aquemini is one of my favorite records of all time. This Outkast's third studio release and reached platinum status within 2 months on route to becoming one of the most influential records in regards to its effect on the rap game. Andre3000 and Big Boi give listeners that real southern feel as they take you through the ATL with blues-like beats, lyrical poetry in motion, and that spottieottiedopaliscious funk. Check it in case you have been living under a rock since the mid 90s. The grooveshark attachment with the album is the best one I could find...it has all the songs but for some reason its not in order and there are numerous copies of each track...will post a better one if I come across it, or  you can just YouTube the songs individually



01. Hold On, Be Strong
02. Return of the G
03. Rosa Parks
04. Skew it on the Bar-B
05. Aquemini
06. Synthesizer
07. Slump
08. West Savanah
09. Da Art of Storytellin' (Part 1)
10. Da Art of Storytellin' (Part 2)
11. Mamacita
12. SpottieOttieDopaliscious
13. Y'All Scared
14. Nathaniel
15. Liberation
16. Chonkyfire

Car: Koenigsegg CCXR

This car is an absolute beast. The CCXR sports a 4.7L twin-supercharged V8, what does this mean? Well, it can accelerate from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds reaching top speeds of 250+ mph (400+ km/h) and has 1,064 bhp. The transmission is a mechanical masterpiece with power being fed to the rear wheels through a torque-sensitive, limited slip differential. This could very well be the new TDU Dream Car but I'm still lovin' the Lexus LFA for now.


Goddess: Bar Refaeli

Last but definately not least we have Leo's latest victim, and god damnit good for him...again. Bar Refaeli is simply a smoke show. Try not to get too excited.



TDU: FPS Russia

The video below is provided by a YouTube channel that goes by FPS Russia, the guy in these videos is a weapons expert and if you check out his uploads you will find him firing off just about every gun one can use in the Call of Duty games...including the RC-XD in Black Ops and a golden AK47. This video is him firing off a 12 gauge at Abercrombie-looking manakins with different rounds of ammo. Check it and make sure you wait until that last set he goes through shit is crazy!





TDU: Flava In Ya Ear

In the words of Craig Mack, "I'm kickin' mad flava in ya ear". This mixtape by Rick Ross aka Ricky Rozay aka Da Boss aka... who gives a flying fuck what else he goes by. Anyways, I just came across this mixtape either because it just got dropped or because I'm falling behind in my studies. Either way you've probably heard a couple of the tracks but the rest are new to me and felt it was in order to post it on the site. What you can expect out of Ricky Ross are beats that are more or less the same, yet consistently good, with Ross going hard throughout. Some of the tracks are chopped to 30 seconds due to copyright laws and whatnot so just YouTube it, couldn't find a torrent either but will update this post if I come across a good one. Enjoy

TDU: Dallas Cowboys Stadium Shot

Dude Perfect is a group of college guys who basically get bored...a lot...and kill time by attempting ridiculous trick shots. We've all done this but these dudes raise the bar and take it to that next level. I'm also aware of the numerous fake trick videos out there but these are legit! I stand by it as each shot attempted is A) Physically possible and B) Unedited (except for the missed attempts). The video below is the first of their videos I saw, after which I proceeded to watch almost an hour's worth of other videos they've uploaded. I've since been running an unofficial campaign to show the Dallas Cowboys stadium shot to everyone I come in contact with, check it

TDU: Worth Reading

Welcome to our second installment of Worth Reading! This one is real strange, for many reasons... A retired science teacher's home near San Diego was raided last month because she was selling suicide kits in the form of self-asphyxiation products. The gig was up when customers started turning up dead.. Her reasoning was that the product is meant to help those with incurable diseases end their lives in the privacy of their homes with 'dignity'. This poses a few questions  1) Who the hell sells suicide kits 2) What kind of 91 year old woman sells suicide kits 3) Why would someone need a suicide kit to effectively kill themselves 4) Who would pay 60 bucks for a plastic bag to kill themselves with 'dignity' and 5) How was this loophole in the legal system not addressed sooner, I can't imagine a 91 year old woman being the first to sell such products, leave it to the Doc. In any case the article is HERE




TDU: Smooth Move

Another first installment at TDU! Presenting Smooth Move, where the title is completely sarcastic and will feature people looking like jack asses, this video I found on YouTube is also appropriately named. Watch below



TDU: The Big 3 - Album, Car, and Goddess

Album: The Big Picture
Artist: Big L

Big L is one of Harlem's finest emcees to ever emerge from NYC in the mid 90s. He was one of the most skilled lyricists with hard punchline after punchline and is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time to this day. His intelligent word play is an aspect of rap that today seems like a distant memory, but for those who are familiar with rap throughout the 90s there is no denying The Big Picture is one of the best albums from this era and showcases the talent of an emcee that lost his life too soon.

                       Listen to the album below


















 1. The Big Picture (Intro)
  2. Ebonics
  3. Size 'Em Up
  4. Deadly Combination (Feat. 2Pac)
  5. '98 Freestyle
  6. Holdin' It Down (Feat. Stan Spit, A.G. & Miss Jones)
  7. The Heist
  8. The Enemy (Feat. Fat Joe)
  9. Fall Back (Feat. Kool G Rap)
10. Flamboyant
11. Casualties Of A Dice Game
12. Platinum Plus (Feat. Big Daddy Kane)
13. Who You Slidin' Wit'
14. The Heist Revisited

Car: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG


I've never been a huge Benz fan but when it come to gull-wings I'm a sucker. This Benz is the first to be designed in house by AMG and is the predecessor to the legendary Benz SLR McLaren. As you can tell by the picture there's a lot of room under the hood and for good reason, the SLS AMG pushes 563 hp at 6800 rpm and goes from 0-60 in under 4 seconds...DAYYYUM! The only downfall is there is no true manual transmission model offered...but let's face it...most likely out of the price range at $200,000.

Goddess: Sofia Vergara

Only thing I would like to mention is other than gull-wings, I'm a sucker for Columbian accents.

TDU: NBA Finals post game reaction

How great was it to hear Lebron James say he failed after all the media surrounding The Decision and the Miami Heat this season. First of all, Lebron is hands down the best player in the league and its scary to think of how he will respond next season in terms of on the court. Secondly, lets put to rest any rumours saying the Big 3 will be split up this off season...the only possible way this would happen is if the Collective Bargaining Agreement being negotiated forces teams to reduce their salary cap at which point Miami management would most likely say peace out to Chris Bosh. However this is extremely far fetched and they would do everything possible to work around that scenario. Thirdly everyone needs to show respect to a Dallas Mavs squad riddled with players who have made it to the Finals but never won it; Dirk, Peja, Chandler, Kidd etc, the fact they were able to decapitate the 3 headed dragon that is Wade, Lebron and Bosh simply makes the championship that much more impessive while also cementing Dirk's legacy in the NBA as the greatest European player of all time and one of the best pure shooters  ever! period. Here are some post game reactions of Lebron, Dirk, and Mark Cuban who always provides a good sound clip





TDU: Worth Reading

TDU is please to present the first installment of Worth Reading, because let's face it - reading makes you smart. This section of the site will be dedicated to news articles that in most cases will do the exact opposite - in other words no significant meaning will be found in the subject matter...only occasionally will this be attained

First up we have some pranksters from New Zealand who decided to use google earth as a way to show school spirit. These kids basically drew a bunch of cocks on school property using chemicals and clearly will be nominated for TDU's weekly Say Word? award, the link for the article is here


TDU: The Big 3 - Album, Car, and Goddess

Starting today TDU will feature a music album, car, and Goddess alongside the constant TDU Dream Girl and TDU Dream Car, TDU's Big 3 will bring fresh taste to the table and only those most deserving will rein as Big 3 Ambassador for the day

Album: Reasonable Doubt
Artist: Jay-Z for you knuckleheads that needed to know

This album solidified Jay-Z as one of the rap game's elite with unique flow, incredible lyrical ability, and instrumentals that have maintained this album as a masterpiece since 96. Jay-Z's talent is unquestioned but for those only listening to the radio, to get a real feel for what Jay-Z is about you need to go back to his artistic roots, check it


Here's a YouTube playlist with all the tracks

Car: Nissan GTR


For gear heads, grease monkeys, and car enthusiasts the Nissan Skyline GTR has had a special place in our hearts since its introduction in 1969...of course I wasn't alive then but as long as I've had a fascination for cars the Skyline was always among the top of the list. Back to the present we have the Nissan GTR which features a 3.8L DOHC V6 engine pushing a retarded 485 bhp. This beauty has a top speed of 314 km/h or 195 mph and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. The other reason this car stands out so much is because you rarely see them, for the full rundown of this heavenly piece of machinery follow the yellow brick road!

Goddess: Brooklyn Decker

Words are simply not needed. 

TDU: Gettin' Ready for Entourage Season 8

For those of us who religiously watch Entourage you are aware that this summer will mark the beginning of the end. Episode 1 of the final season airs July 24 and for those of us who need a recap on how season 7 ended..well you're in luck. 2 scenes, the first where Vince is losing his grip and ends up getting knocked out by Eminem, the second is Matt Damon's ridiculous outtakes where he asks Vince for a bigger donation..."I can't believe I have a fucking Academy award and I'm calling you back again and again and again you cock sucker! Send me the cheque!"



TDU: Must See Movies

Genre: Crime

This first MSM installment is inspired by hands down one of my favorite movies of all time: City of God is based on the slums of Rio de Jeneiro depicting the intense violence and criminal underworld that runs the streets. Most people find subtitles annoying as the movie is spoken in Portuguese, but the movie's cinematography and story line is more than enough to become captivate and read every last word intently. The trailer for City of God is below;



The second movie at the plate is a classic that by now, EVERYONE should have seen: Boys n The Hood. This movie bring to light the harsh and violent realities surrounding South Central L.A, illustrating how society fails to aid those most in need as well presenting the audience with many of the obstacles families and young kids are faced with growing up in a hostile living environment. Compton and South Central native Ice Cube from N.W.A and Cuba Gooding Jr. starr;



Another classic that never gets old is none other than Pulp Fiction. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson play the coolest killers you will ever see on screen with the some of the most memorable lines and directed by the genius of Quentin Tarantino. Anyone who says this movie is garbage is not friend worthy and should seek therapy, enough said;

TDU: 3 MixTapes You Should Have Heard By Now

First and foremost J. Cole is a talented rapper out of North Carolina with 3 impressive mixtapes under his belt and will soon be dropping his first studio album in the near future. His latest mixtape Friday Night Lights showcases a lyrical ability and story telling nature commonly forgotten in today's rap game, songs like Higher have become instant classics and contribute to the hype surrounding this young artist. Check the link below:


Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Provided by DatPiff.com

Second spot I'm giving to Wiz Khalifa because there's more to his music than singles like Roll Up from his most recent studio release Rolling Papers. To really get a sense of the flow and raw style people aren't used to hearing listen to his 2006 release Show and Prove, I guarantee if you haven't heard it before you'l barely recognize who you're listening to but will be hitting repeat none the less. But to stay on topic and for sake of being more recent I'll post arguably the best mixtape of 2010 Kush and OJ, light a spliff and enjoy


Last but not least I want to bring Machine Gun Kelly or MGK to the table, this emcee out of Cleveland raps at high speed hence the name and style of his flow. He is still relatively unknown but his mixtape Lace Up has been turning heads with trunk bangers like Midwest Side, Chip Off The Block, and Cleveland. Be on the look out for MGK in the future, link DatPiff








TDU: Tim Thomas lays out Henrik Sedin in Game 4

Not only did Tim Thomas post a shutout at home in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but he did it in true Bruins tradition! Check out Henrik Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks try and capitalize off a Boston turn over.
