WTF: NEW INTERNET CRAZE "PLANKING"
WTF IS GOING ON? THE PEOPLE HAVE FINALLY LOST THEIR MINDS LOL!
I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE 1ST PIC OF A GUNRULER "PLANKING" WHO WILL BE IT?!?!
What Is Planking?
Planking is the act of lying facedown for a photograph. The term planking originated from Australia but is actually just another name for 'the lying down game' (I'm not kidding). The specific instructions: to put your body face down to the ground (or table, or object, or anything) with your arms to the side. Yeah.
...that's really, really stupid... RIGHT?
Again, the act itself is to lie down on the ground. Anybody can do that, right? That's why kids are getting crazier. You get creativity points for planking in odd places like trees branches. Or escalators. Or animals! Or balls. The more wild you get, the 'better' the picture will be.
...but is huge on Facebook.
The Official Planking Facebook page has over 180,000 fans and tons of pictures showcasing the best plankers around the world. Hell, the whole idea about planking is to upload it to your Facebook account so your friends can see it, as planking alone is not planking at all.

Unfortunately, it's not all fun and games...
An Aussie man died for trying to plank on a balcony, plummeting 7 stories to the ground. Police are growing concerned that people are trying to one up each other in their planking.

JUST 4 KIX: PUMA SUEDE ECO "TONAL"
Puma recently introduced its eco-friendly version of the Suede model and now is set to let loose a trio of tonal variations, appropriately dubbed the "Tonal" Pack. Optioned in green, yellow, or black, the classic lows' lone color variations can be found in the branding on the tongue tag. Look for the monochromatic collection to hit Puma retailers next month.
DRAKE SAYS HE GOT HIS FLOW PATTERN FROM BIG SEAN
In a recent interview with All Hip Hop Drizzy speaks on the stop punchlines which he credits Big Sean for first using it. The ironic thing about the topic is that I was just speaking on this and it was said that Sean has inspiring certain artists including Drake and Ye himself.
All Hip Hop: How much do Young Money artists bounce off each other? I noticed you have similar inflections and cadences or rhyme patterns. I noticed this one thing that Nicki said, “It’s going down. Basement.”
Drake: Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, “I shut ‘em down. Onyx.” I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like…I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music). That’s the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I’ll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don’t want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on “Forever.” Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They’re all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don’t want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] “It’s a parade! MACY’S!”
