Depending on where you stand as a fan of Star Wars, Star Wars Episode I, II and III either destroyed everything you believed in humanity or were never actually real movies to begin with. But what if in an alternate universe (possibly far far away) that trilogy was actually, like, good? I know, hard to imagine. But it's possible! Belated Media imagined how to make Star Wars: Episode II good and it actually sounds quite fantastic.

Kickstarter can be a fantastic launching pad for people with real knowhow and real talent to make real ideas, well, real. There are a lot of wonderful success stories! At its very peak, Kickstarter gives everyone a shot at success. But there are also a lot of epic failures too. The truth is, like much of the Internet (or the world), a lot of stuff on Kickstarter is crap. And if it's not crap, it's not special. And if it's not special, it's not worth it. And if it's not worth it, Kickstarter becomes a cesspool of overeager online panhandlers shaking you down for money.

Iman Shumpert aka 2wo 1ne - “Versace Freestyle” (Internet, 2013)

All respect to the god Jewelz but this is, to my knowledge, the highest level of competency any NBA player has ever shown in rapping. Dude is actually kind of styling, dancing around that already played out Migos flow with more finesse than than a couple of the professional rappers who have tried. This is good too!

I can think of only two reasons why Michael Young and Carlos Ruiz are still Phillies today: Either Ruben Amaro didn't realize yesterday was the trade deadline, or his afternoon nap was poorly timed.

(AllHipHop News) Producer/DJ Mike Dean has been working with the some of the biggest names in Hip Hop since the early 1990′s. His list of production credits include Scarface, 2Pac, Jay-Z, and he has contributed to every Kanye West album. Of course someone with that vast experience in the music industry has plenty of stories to tell.

During an interview with HuffPost Live, Dean, who started his career at Rap-A-Lot Records, talks about his interactions with 2Pac and Suge Knight.

“[2Pac, Scarface, and I] hung out. He played the Makaveli album for us, uncut, where he was talking about all the people he hated. All the stuff they took out of the album,” said Dean. “Lot’s of shots at Puffy, and B.I.G., Dre, saying their names, [and how he] was going to kill them.”

Dean says that he leaked some of Tupac’s more controversial unreleased material after his death.

“After [2Pac] died, Daz Dillinger and I stole a bunch of reels from Suge Knight,” admits Dean. “We released like six songs that were really crazy talking.”

When asked if he was fearful that Suge would retaliate against him for stealing Pac’s tracks, Dean made it clear he was not afraid of the former Death Row boss.

“I’m not worried about Suge,” said Dean. “I came from Rap-A-Lot. They learned their gangsta from us.”

Dean also goes on to talk about seeing Suge Knight smack an engineer, Tha Dogg Pound hiding out from Suge at his apartment, and having to pull out his pistol on a friend at work.

The beauty of slow motion is that it lets you see and analyze every detail of anything in a much more digestible package. Explosions become a dance, athletic achievements become more thoughtful, life becomes even more interesting and idiotic behavior gets more hilarious. Watching a guy get stung by a scorpion in slow motion? Yeah, that's hilarious.
