Fat Joe

0-4.  That’s how well I would've done if I had made picks for last week’s Wildcard games.  Atlanta’s offense looked more balanced than Arizona’s; betting against Peyton Manning seemed about as smart as asking Lindsay Lohan to baby sit your kids; the Eagles were due to get run over by Adrian Peterson; and Miami over Baltimore…well, I’m a Dolphins fan, so let’s chalk that one up to blind, foolish love.

Tru-Life is a rapper? Yea, a pretty decent one too. But if you thought he just a street cat who liked to pick on studio gangsta rappers than you wouldn’t be wrong either. Just a few years ago he was Jay-Z’s secret Latino weapon, released a dope mixtape and was throwing NY rap on his back. Now XXL Mag is asking where duke is. Well, my homies at xxlmag.com found him.

If Walter Mercado doesn’t play a big part in your New Year’s Eve traditions then you need to check your barrio pass at the door. The Puerto Rican psychic/horoscope queen *ahem* king always delivers predictions for the coming 365 days and special baños for each zodiac sign. I recently had the chance to speak with Wally about some of our favorite chart toppers. He dishes his predictions and some custom baths. He then attempted to cover me with his cape and offer me mucho, mucho amor. Fortunately, I escaped.

The Elephant in the Room: Daddy Yankee endorsed John McCain for U.S. president and simultaneously lost his barrio cred. Not only did Cangri fans have a WTF moment but MCs such as Pitbull and Fat Joe labeled him a “sellout.” Pit called it a “failed publicity stunt” and Joey Crack challenged DY to a debate. Thank God for all our brain cells it never came to fruition but DY’s image became as tarnished as an Illinois governor.
