Foul Monday, the flagship artist on Ron Artest’s Tru Warier record label, has a new video for his track “Trucks Lined Up.” Honestly, the beat isn’t that bad and they have a nice, 90s Queensbridge aesthetic going with the whole standing in front of some SUVs thing and rhyming into the camera. I feel like Mobb Deep did that in like half the videos off their first two albums.
Check it out over at NESW sports.
Meanwhile, this combined with the ongoing feelings of triumph resonating throughout mainstream hip hop since the release of Only Built for Cuban Linx II (which is amazing) and Blueprint 3 (which is pretty hot) last week has me reminiscing about a simpler, bygone time when Ron Artest was appearing in rap videos without holding a mic. Along with St. John’s University teammate Reggie Jesse, Tru Warier made his MTV debut in fellow QB native Nas’ 1999 video for the DJ Premier-blessed trunk rattler “Nas Is Like.” (Artest pops up at 1:26 in the below video.)
Little did we know at the time, but I think it’s now pretty obvious that Esco was describing Ron with the whole “Iron Mike/Messiah-type” line.
You know what Ron’s like. You watch him on League Pass every night.

Much like President Bush Part Deux, I’m a big Misty May fan. And much like every real American, I’m a big Shaq fan.
Thus, here’s a video of those two — plus her tall, blond partner and some dude — squaring off in a rock ‘em, sock ‘em game of beach volleyball on Big Aristotle’s new show Shaq Vs., which features him trying to beat pro athletes from other sports at those other sports. It’s an idea he reportedly stole from Steve Nash, whose only public comment on the matter thus far has been: “I don’t want nobody sound like nobody from my clan, man. Keep it real — getcha own shit, man. And be original.” (video via Hooped Up)

While hanging out at Belmont Park race track this weekend, I ran into this treasure trove of mid-90s memories. Rodman wearing #91 and jorts: Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Meanwhile, the dude whose name I don’t know that runs the website called “A Stern Warning” found this Japanese commercial for Dunlop featuring The Worm himself. (via NESW Sports)
Suffice it to say, I had a pretty good weekend.
