Happy Mother's Day From Kanye West

Here's Kanye West performing the song "Hey Mama" as a dedication to his late mother Donda West. I also dedicate this song to all the hardworking moms.  Be proud of yourself!

Gokaiger Gets Morphenomenal

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger is the 35th anniversary show of Toei's Super Sentai franchise. In the show, the Gokaiger are space pirates who have the ability to transform into any of the past Super Sentai warriors. Among those warriors are the Zyuranger who we in America know fondly as the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Ever since the announcement of Gokaiger & its unique concept, the rumors have been spreading about when the Gokaiger assume Zyuranger form.

 Henshin Justice posted this RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME clip of a MMPR fan redubbing the upcoming Zyuranger-themed episode. Man, talk about full-on Power Rangers nostalgia!!! It makes me want to sport my MMPR shirt & song-binge The Mighty RAW's "We Need A Hero"!

Cosplay of the Dead

Check out this AWESOME cosplay of the zombie anime "High School of the Dead" featuring alt model Melodie Gore & friends. In the photo gallery by Abbott Wang, Gore portrays katana-wielding badass Saeko as her & Rei (Chloe Doan) are desperately trying to defend themselves from the hungry zombie horde. If you love Gore, then check her blog out here. And to those who don't know what "HSTD" is, be sure to watch it on Hulu. Trust me, it's a GREAT show!!!

Meet The New Dynamic Duo

I've just checked out this new anime called "Tiger & Bunny". The show is set in a comic-book world where corporated-owned superheroes are competing in a reality show to become the "King of Heroes". Among these heroes is Wild Tiger, a veteran who has consistently ranked low. However, things are about to change when Wild Tiger is partnered up with a rookie. Through this partnership, Wild Tiger will learn the true meaning of being a superhero. With such an interesting concept, "Tiger & Bunny" could be the next anime hit. Judge for yourself by watching it on Hulu.

Chainsaw Sally : One Killer Show

Since it's announcement through April Monique Burril's Twitter, yours truly have been anxiously awaiting for the return of The Chainsaw Sally Show. For the uninitiated, The Chainsaw Sally Show is a splatstick dramedy about a psychotic Suicide Girl and her equally sadistic transvestite brother who bring chaos to their unsuspecting hometown. The show stars April Monique Burril as the titular character, Azman Toy as her brother Ruby, & Baltimore entertainer/socialite Nicolette LeFaye as Miss Busy Bee, the sinister sibling's “pet”. The Chainsaw Sally Show  is the demented brainchild of April & her husband director JimmyO Burril who originally created the character as a horror hostess then turned her into a full-fledged horror movie icon. It also has the backing of Troma Entertainment, scream queen Debbie Rochon, & Herschell Gordon Lewis, The Godfather of Gore. Now, that's what you call a co-sign !!! It is the visual of Chainsaw Sally, a voluptuous chainsaw wielding Goth chick, that will first attract you to the series. As you watch the series, you'll become hooked to the zany characters, torture pornographic kills, and overall campiness . The Chainsaw Sally Show  is returning online this Friday at the stroke of midnight. You can check the show here at the official website.

So, someone had an impossible challenge for YouTube personality DeStorm Power. This time, he had to write a song with the late Michael Jackson doing beatbox. But everyone should know with the homie DeStorm, nothing is impossible. 

Epic Blog Time

What you know about Epic Meal Time?!

For those unfamiliar, Epic Meal Time is a UBER HILARIOUS online cooking show on YouTube created by Canadians Harley Morenstein and Sterling Toth. In the show, Morenstein & his posse make culinary mashups that are both itis-inducing and intimidating to eat. Can anyone say cardiac arrest? Notable dishes include Fast Food Sushi, The Black Legend, The Breakfast of Booze, & The Sloopy Roethlisberger that achieved the impossible in breaking the 100,000 calorie barrier. The show has even crossed over with fellow YouTube personality Freddie Wong:

It has been reported by the Montreal Gazette that Epic Meal Time will be invading the Tonight Show on March 17. Morenstein hopes to make something REAL special for Jay Leno. Epic Meal Time is growing into a phenomenon. Am I right, hater?

Next time, we eat DeStorm Power.

El Topo: The Spiritualist's Cowboy Flick (NSFW)

Here's another movie my good friend Benn Stimmel recommended. It's called “El Topo” , a 1970 grindhouse western about a eccentric, black-clad gunslinger on the path to enlightenment. This movie pushes the boundaries with its graphic & surreal imagery that sticks in your mind. The world of “El Topo” is populated by a cast of colorful characters who shares the title character's quirkiness. There are sodomizing bandits, pyscho lesbians, deformed people, & Zen-like gunslingers this way of Buddha. Along with being a tale of spirituality, this Spaghetti Western on acid is a story of redemption. In the film's beginning, El Topo committed sins such as killing, deceiving, & abandoning his son. After his lover's betrayal, El Topo is reborn (in a bizarre, psychedelic ritual) into a humble man. If you're looking for a spiritual high, then “El Topo” is the perfect drug for you.

Zaniest New Dance Crazes

Yours truly just found the hottest new dance crazes.....if you're brave enough to do them in da club:

First up, Teach Me How To Barney. This new dance is (obviously) inspired by the kiddie's favorite purple dinosaur. My homegirl Jessa Lux (aka Undress Jess) talked about it on her Twitter account. It's "Super dee-duper"!!!

The late king of comedy Bernie Mac is the inspiration for the next dance......

Shout-outs to my cuddies Ryan Hull & Alden Tarver of the indie rock band Married With Sea Monsters for the heads up.

Finally, The Lonely Island & Nicki Minaj has a dance for all you creeps.....

 So, here are all hot new dances. Now, go ahead  & do the damn thing on the dance floor!!! :-P

Beavis & Butt-head Do 2011

Yep, that's right buttmunch, MTV's resident animated slackers are coming back home. This time they will take on "Jersey Shore, UFC matches and user-generated videos from YouTube, in addition to music videos" according to Rolling Stone. Can't wait? You can still watch old episodes of Beavis and Butt-head at MTV2 & MTV.com. 

Red Skull : Before & After

Compared to Scott Paulin, Hugo Weaving looks like a SERIOUS bad-ass as the Red Skull. You can see more of Weaving in the upcoming Marvel Comics film "Captain America: The First Avenger". Oh, and one more thing...this time he's not Italian.

Mad props to my big bro DeMarcus for the heads up.

Swaggalicious Sounds

So, here are a couple of music videos that caught my attention this week:

The first one is by hip-pop group i SQUARE with their debut single "Hey Sexy Lady". My favorite part of the video is when band member Briddy start doing some impressive footwork (@ 1:45). Rap mogul P.Diddy even makes a cameo appearance.

Another video to watch is "24 Frames (Movie Night)" by alternative rapper T.Shirt. In the video, the illrapper along with a lady friend, model Klazina Crawford, take a stroll through a movie theatre in Soho. The lyrics of the song is comprised of 120 film titles.

And lastly, "Villages" by indie pop band Alpine. Man, talk about one FREAKY video!!!

You already know that yours truly is song-binging the hell outta these songs especially "Hey Sexy Lady" & "Villages". ;-)

X-Men Gets Anime Redesign

Hey, true believers! It looks like everyone's favorite mutants are getting an astonishing makeover for the upcoming animation project " Marvel Anime: X-Men " :

So, how do you feel about the designs? Personally, I think Storm is the best one out of all the X-Men. I hope this costume makes it in the comics one day. However, Cyclops should be arrested by the fashion police BIG TIME!!!!

When Cool Meets Awesome---Great Scott !

What would happen if two of pop-culture's most memorable time travelers, The Doctor & Marty McFly, meet each other? Well, it would probably start with something like this:

And then, hilarity ensues...

You can find the pictures of this EPIC crossover as a t-shirt & a wallpaper . Mad props to blogger Geek Girl Diva .

Keeping "In Step" with Frankmusik

I've read that British electropop musician Frankmusik is starting to grow a U.S. fanbase according to Billboard. I'm very excited since I've been a Frankmusik fan after watching his first video "In Step" back in 2008. It's Frankmusik's quirky and retro sense of pop music that makes him SO refreshing. In addition, his music videos have that same tone too. Just watch Frankmusik's second video "3 Little Words" which is reminiscent of the Walking Piano scene from the Tom Hanks movie "Big".  He now plans to conquer the states with his new video "The Fear Inside". Here's hoping that Frankmusik's star continues to rise in America.

Wanna Know What Nightmare Fuel Is? (NSFW/ Disturbing)

A couple hours ago, my big brother DeMarcus had a Facebook posting that talked about a "a very controversial but very well done trailer for the upcoming (Zombie Apocalypse) game Dead Island ". He even put up a warning telling "sensitive types" to avoid watching this trailer because of the disturbing imagery. So moi had to check it out. And I got four words for you: HIGH OCTANE NIGHTMARE FUEL !!!!

There's also a comedic trailer & a trailer that's in chronological order.

Six-String Samurai : A Genre Mash-up of Awesomeness!!!

This past weekend yours truly watched the 1998 cult film "Six-String Samurai". The film was recommended by my good friend Benn Stimmel, owner of Beatnix Burger Barn . "Six-String Samurai" is a post-apocalyptic chanbara tale about a lone wanderer accompanied by a orphan boy who fights his way across a nuclear wasteland to claim his rightful throne as the new king of Vegas. In a nutshell, it's "The Book of Eli" meets "Lone Wolf and Cub" meets "The Wizard of Oz" bolstered by a rockabilly soundtrack. The film's charm comes from the simple fact that it never takes itself too seriously. Also, it has the same quirkiness as the television shows you see on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. What draws you to the film the most is the concept/visual : it's Buddy Holly wielding a FREAKIN' kitana blade!!!

WHAT IT DO!!!

Hey! Welcome to So Swaggalicious, the home of yours truly!!! According to Urban Dictionary, "swaggalicious" means to be fly, dope, fresh, & tight. And that's the purpose of this blog, to talk about those various things that essentially contain swagger in the highest degree. It's also a way for you to know moi. Well, enough with the salutations let's get things rolling. Since this is the first entry, I need to post something....DUH! So, I present to you an AWESOME mash-up of Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover).
