It looks like John Mayer is working on his next album, but this time, he’s crossing over into hip-hop.
I don’t think he’ll be rapping, per se, but most likely singing with some hip-hop fused tracks.
Keep in mind, this wouldn’t be an album for the underground rap snobs, who refute anything that isn’t politically charged and riot-inciting. This would be a record for the crossover fans (there are more hip-hop heads who listen to John Mayer than you may realize).
Unlikely as it may seem, John Mayer is becoming somewhat of a fixture in the hip-hop scene.
"The album is called Battle Studies and that's because it incorporates a lot of the lessons, a lot of the observations, and a little bit of advice. Like a handbook, like a heartbreak handbook."
"Battle Studies" is the upcoming fourth studio album by dope boy John Mayer, due to be released on November 17th.
Hip Hop, Blues, Rock, Pop or not, John Mayer is fucken dope! I don't care what no one says!

"We Were Once A Fairytale" is a short film that was directed by Oscar-Nominated director Spike Jonze and starring Kanye West. It was supposed to be a video for the song "See You In My Nightmares", but when two creative geniuses like Kanye and Spike get together on a project, you know the outcome won't be anything normal. In this case, instead of a video, you have a 14 minute short film that debuted @ The Los Angeles Film Festival.

As most of you probably know, that wonderful man pictured above announced his retirement today. The Mats Sundin era has ended in the NHL.
There really is not much to say about Mats that hasn't been said a million times before, he came on a bad note, and left on a worse one, but no one can deny the years in the middle were magical.
No, he didn't bring a cup, no he wasnt a top the NHL scoring race every year, and no, he wasn't Doug Gilmour or Wendel Clark.
All of that is irrelevant.
Mats Sundin is arguably the greatest Toronto Maple Leaf of all time. End. Point.

Mats Sundin was the hardest Leaf ever for me to accept into my heart. He came to my team at the expense of Wendel Clark, no easy barrier to over come, his style contradicted everything I expected out of a Toronto Maple Leaf, and later, everything I expected out of a Captain.
It pains me to admit that I once too was one of those haters, I drank my Mats Sundin haterade with regularity, and then one day, seemingly out of nowhere, I stopped.
Be it age, or wisdom or dark magic, I finally saw Mats for what he was. An exceptional hockey talent, a quiet, strong and storied leader.
Captain Clutch soon was my favourite Leaf, I embraced him, defended him, and cheered him.
Mats was my Captain, Leafs Nation's Captain. It broke my heart to see him called out time and time again for not delivering Stanley's chalice to Toronto, it never seemed fair that Dougie and Wendel didn't (to my memory at least) take similar abuse.
My Captain preformed exceptionally right up until the time that he, for reasons I don't understand and now respect, broke my heart.
The reason it hurt so much was because I knew he would never don the Blue and White again, and he would retire under a different banner.



I realize now that that doesn't matter Mats will always be a Toronto Maple Leaf.
Dougie and Wendel were the Captains of my youth, but I grew up watching Mats, he was my Captain through the hardest years of my life and he never let me down.
I will forever miss Mats, and that big goofy Swedish grin will forever be burned into my brain.
I take no heed to the haters, you out there that would bad mouth my bald headed hero, oh not you Sens and Habs fans, you don't matter. I'm talking about you so called Leaf fans who hate him for "screwing us" get over yourselves. If you don't love Mats, well that is your loss just don't open up your mouth and shit all over a player who deserves nothing but your thanks and praise.

I hold no reserves in saying I will fight you.



So today, as Mats Sundin hangs up his skates, I would like to thank him for all the memories he has given to me and the rest of us Leafs fans. Gook luck Mats, we miss you. And I cannot wait to see the day you return to Toronto to get honored at the ACC and have your number raised to the rafters and immortalized along side some of Toronto's greatest of all time, somewhere you definitely belong.

See all i wanna do is be RELEVANT, Just tell me that i ever meant anything MORE, That you could ever see me and you in another light, But its like the dark women indoors in the darkest nights by the wrong man, mostly all of them have made you incapable of a first IMPRESSION, what it do is i channel my aggression with no cable or antenna, Just intentions to impress you. If capable. Hoping that the material possessions can materialise to a BETTER you, Cars, nothing i drive can drive you out of this state of mind, For such an ugly picture and, MONEY, nothing i buy can buy more time for your ears to tell your heart to listen to it, DIAMONDS, a girls best friend is what they say but believe me with the right allegience shorty you gonna SHINE anyways, and everyday that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary, the day before is better than the present, so anyone presented in his presence is doing these life sentences, theres no key for release, no reason to be around, her mind in the clouds, she writes it all down, in her diary.
