Friday Face Off: (Don't Believe The Hype Edition) Drake vs. Asher Roth

Don’t believe the hype. Public Enemy told you that years ago. Still, every year we believe it don’t we? Every year some style, or person or album or event is going to come along and save hip hop or something, but does it ever? Not really. So let’s keep that ball of cynicism rolling and take a look at two dudes who have most recently been assigned the task of “saving” hip hop, Drake and Asher Roth.

Let’s examine these two guys in 3 categories to try and figure out which (if either) is actually worthy of the absurd amount of hype surrounding them.

It’s Friday Face Off. Again.

Black (Napolean) Dynamite

Hey, you guys see the trailer for that new movie "Black Dynamite" starring Michael Jai White?! It's been floating around the net for a few months now.

It's a parody of Blaxploitation movies from the 70's, but the way it's filmed it looks just like an old movie from back in the day! It looks mad funny!

You know what? We think that this movie is gonna be one of the funniest movies of the year! You know what else? We're preemptively letting you all know, 3 months in advanced, that if you're not careful in a few months you will be considered a complete douche because you like this movie.

Garfield Minus Garfield

We were crawling around the internets looking for interesting things to discuss or highlight or rip to shreds and we came across this funny thing called Garfield Minus Garfield.

The Fish And Spaghetti Vault...

So the beloved Fish Head, Blogger and all around hilarious internet personality Frankie Nichelle recently made a comment on her blog about how salty she was that she worked on a piece for FishAndSpaghetti.com that ended up on the cutting room floor because it was turned in late.

The rest of the FishAndSpaghetti staff was busy this week and our intern Chet turned in this weeks "Friday Face Off" late, so we're gonna do Frankie a favor and post that piece she worked so hard on all those weeks ago.

Ad Nauseum...

So our Adsense account was shut down for some reason yesterday and it sucks.

Not just because we're so unclear as to why to account was closed but more so because we almost had enough money in that account to get our intern Chet the used PSP we promised him for his birthday. Sorry Chet.

According the the email we recieved from Google, our AdSense account posed a "Significant risk" to Google's AdWords advertisers. Whatever that means.

Here's the full email that we were sent:

You Know Why Death Wish 3 Slays Me?

That's right, it's a slow blog week at Stately Fish & Spaghetti Manor, so we decided to dust off some older bits. And by "we decided to dust off some older bits" what I mean is "I arbitrarily opted to perform CPR on our lagging love for the Death Wish franchise."

Admit it; even you didn't see this one coming.

"...one was ehhh, the other was Illmatic."

I never actually intended to defend Illmatic; I didn't think that I had too. Illmatic is universally praised. But once Pinky Ring fired that opening salvo In This Post Here and got cosigned by Silent Murda, I knew I'd have to dust off the old keyboard.

So before I build up Illmatic, let me first attack Pinky Ring's points.
