fab 5

The Fab 5 freshmen from the University of Michigan Wolverines forever altered the landscape of college basketball without even winning a national championship. Their impact was that great.

Not only did this group impact the way we view college athletics as a commercial enterprise but the scandals that have arisen from the recruitment of these players still hangs over Michigan’s basketball program.

On Sunday March 13th, ESPN Films will premiere a documentary about these five teammates and the story about their time as Wolverines. The doc is definitely going to be personal and real because it is being exec produced by Jalen Rose, one of the members of the Fab 5. Make sure you tune into ESPN for this special presentation.

As the Knickerbocker bandwagon starts to fill up I was thinking about putting Dontrevius Wenters back on the streets to ask Knick fans what they think the final piece of the championship puzzle might be? Point guard? Rebounding power forward?

Nahh, I think it’s the game that Dontrevius brings to the table. Professional gatorade mixer.

Eminem, SlaughterHouse and Yelawolf – ‘2.0 Boys’

This collective is what those Dr.Dre headphones were made for.

Rap nerds unite! Six uber lyrical rappers in a pissing contest on tape. Elliott Wilson was right when he TWitted that this song here would have raps fans shitting on their keyboards. Rockabye Review stays on they grizzly. They transcribed the entire song for review by the internets. Let’s do some math and see who built the sickest verse.

Understand that each rapper’s verse is like a jigsaw puzzle and the complexity of each puzzle rises with the addition of polysyllabic words. These words have to be inserted into the rapper’s bars properly for the puzzle to fit. We’ll crunch the numbers and see if our ears tell us the same thing that the arithmetic does.

royce Royce da 5’9″
Total word count = 170
Polysyllabic words = 10
Longest word = hieroglyphics

Avg. = 17.0


eminem Eminem
Total word count = 223
Polysyllabic words = 9
Longest word = Illuminati

Avg. = 24.75


joell ortiz Joell Ortiz
Total word count = 200
Polysyllabic words = 5
Longest word = definitively

Avg. = 40.0


Budden Joe Budden
Total word count = 194
Polysyllabic words = 7
Longest word = cesspoolers

Avg. = 27.7


crooked Crooked I
Total word count = 157
Polysyllabic words = 8
Longest word = psychotic

Avg. = 19.625


yela Yelawolf
Total word count = 291
Polysyllabic words = 9
Longest word = Illuminati
Avg. = 32.33

Royce pwned this track by his average score and Joell Ortiz came in last average wise, but the Joell Ortiz verse was the more sonically creative and the Yelawolf verse was just a ginormous feast off the track. In terms of impact I would score the song like this…
1. Royce
2. Crooked
3. Yela
4. Ortiz
5. Em
6. Budden
