Ricky Rozay – "Having a big belly, no underwear, shorts sagging, in chancletas."

Being tatted up seems to be commonplace in hip-hop culture these days with Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa and many more all sporting the look.

MMG founder Rick Ross or Ricky Rozay as he's also known, is arguably the most tatted up of the lot, as this soundboard put together by Complex demonstrates.

Simply click on each tattoo to hear a different phrase or sentence uttered by the big Boss himself.

Have fun with it.

NBA 2011 Draft

It's NBA Draft day in two days time and I can't wait. The best college basketball players will find out who they'll be playing for in the 2011-12 NBA season.

It's every college player's dream to reach the draft process and enter into the NBA, but in order to get to this stage, you must have game. Each player in this year's draft possesses talents that will improve any NBA team. Some are more gifted than others but all are undoubtably gifted in their own right.

Below are some of the player's I feel will make giant leaps in the NBA.

The shooting guard from Duke looks set to be this years No.1 pick, which will see him drafted to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This exciting forward likes to dunk and looks set to be this years No.2 pick, meaning a move to the Minnesota Timberwolves could be on the cards.

The shooting guard won a host of Player of the Year awards in his last year as a college player - big things are expected of from the BYU star.

Known as The Beard, Pullen is Kansas State's all time leading scorer with 2,132 points.

The guard guided his UConn team to the 2011 NCAA Championships and he was arguably the best player in the tournament.

The 6'10 forward will be a useful asset to any NBA side and he can shoot from behind the arch.

Morris Twins (Markieff, left Marcus, right) - Kansas Jayhawks
As well as being identical, the twins also have the same tattoo's. Both decided to skip their senior year at university to enter into this year's Draft.

The draft takes place this Thursday in Newark New Jersey and you can catch it live on ESPN from 12am.

Stateside Look-alike

So it's NBA finals time in the US with the Dallas Mavericks from the west, taking on the Miami Heat from the east.

Miami Heat though have a player in Mario Chalmers that could pass for a well known rapper from New York, Fabolous.

The two men look "dead-stamp" – as my dad likes to say – of each other.

Mario Chalmers

Fabolous

Crazy huh!

Weird but Wonderful?

I don't know much about the group Odd Future and frontman Tyler, The Creator but I do know they've got a healthy following of fans due to their quite ODD style.

I came across the video for 'She' featuring Frank Ocean, last night and I liked it.

The first thing that drew me in was the beat, it sounded like something the Cool Kids would mess with and Frank Ocean can actually sing.

Check it out and if you like it, you're not weird...or maybe you are?
