DJ Benzi, Motivation 2 Mixtape (djbenzi.com)

He makes 1+ hour long, slammin' hip hop dance soundtracks.  They're worth the risk of having your identity stolen by the sketch file sharing sites that he posts his mp3s to.  Though, try to avoid his collabo with Twista.

Donnis, "Party Works"

"If you really wanna party, like I really wanna party, shorty we can go party right now."  Seriously, why pull out your planner?

I'm sure you've seen this.  If not, it's worth some laughs.  Who wears "Iverson" Reebok jerseys anyway?
