Michael Jordan Responds to Lebron James / Tom Hinueber Mash Up / ESPN LeBron Special / UNOFFICIAL Commercial / Nike "Rise" / Nike "Maybe"
Michael Jordan or Lebron James... who's commercial is better?
by Adam Ace Spencer
When Lebron Jame's first came out with his Nike Basketball Commercial,"RISE" (ITS DOWN BELOW BUT KEEP READING), I was pretty impressed. I thought the commercial was shot well, edited well, and the context and content of what LJ was sayin, was on point. Had some humor but was serious. Recently their has been all this hype and attention about "jordans response" to LJ's Rise commercial... so if we're gonna talk about who's commercial is better you gotta talk about his decision to leave Cleavland ... just alil...
HIS DECISION TO LEAVE CLEAVLAND;
LeBron leaving Cleavland for Miami was huge, and of course, it had many people sayin what they thought he should have done... among them, Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley (* hi Chuck, and he winks, I love it hahaha)
Personally, I think LeBron leaving Cleavland was his decision and he had a right to leave. So all the people that are pissed about that, that's just stupid. I think he may have given up a little early, buttt o well, whats done is done. Deal with it.
THE REAL PROBLEM WITH HIS DECISION TO LEAVE;
The problem wasn't that he left Cleavland, or that he choose Miami, but instead, how he went about it. ESPN basically staged this one hour "SPECIAL" all about LeBron's decision to leave Cleavland while trying to make him appear as this good guy. But honestly, he literally shut the lights off for that entire region.
If you weren't aware of the business logistics set fourth beforehand they were;
1-Only LeBron James endorsed commercial support. So in other words, NIKE - McDonald's - Vitaminwater and etc...
2- All of the advertising revenue brought in would be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of America.
3- LeBron could decide who he wanted to interview him; he chose Jim Gray...
When I think of interviews, I like to think and feel as if I am watching something real. I've filmed and conducted many interviews (some were while I worked with NIKE), and not one of em seemed so staged and set up as that was. Although I like that he gave all the advertising revenue towards a great cause, even during this special, LeBron just overshadowed the children as they sat in the background.
LJ's RESPONSE; LEBRON RISE
I think LeBron making this commercial was money. As I said, I thought he says everything on his mind, he kinda, pokes at a few people that were all in the media saying this and that, and I think he spoke honestly from his heart.
MJ's RESPONSE; JORDANS MAYBE RISE RESPONSE (UNOFFICIAL)
First off this video was created by Tom Hinueber who is not affiliated with any of these companies (NIKE, JORDAN, LEBRON or any of their companies). He used NIKES LeBron "Rise" and Jordans "Maybe" commercials to create this mash up. Considering there are so many people out there who think this is MJ's OFFICIAL response to LJ's commercial, I decided to make this post... when he makes an official response directed towards LeBron's Rise commercial, I will make a new post and/ or update this section and have a conclusive decision on who's commercial is better...
~Here is the original "MAYBE" commercial which NIKE released back in I believe April of 2008... so clearly this was not a response directed specifically towards LeBron's Rise commercial, but still, its not to say it wasn't meant for LeBron...
Kylie Minogue's Super-Cute Performance With The PS22 Chorus
And naturally she wasn't going to get away without doing "Can't Get You Out Of My Head." Absolutely loving this arrangement. Watch through the end, where Kylie teaches the kids how to give a proper sassy snap.

UK Chart Roundup: I'd Hit It With Olly Murs
That said, Olly Murs latest jam "Thinking Of Me" is worthy of its #4 entry, while Jessie J's "Do It Like A Dude"—which the blogosphere collectively masturbated over but nobody bought—flops in at #25.
Elsewhere, Kylie Minogue flies up to #40 with "Better Than Today" two weeks ahead of the single's official release date. (For more on mine and other bitches' thoughts on Jessie J and Kylie's singles, see the latest edition of Pop Trash Addicts' Pop Panel.)
Over on the Brit album chart Take That retain the top spot after selling more than 208,000 copies of Progress in week number two. That gives the LP a grand total of 728,000 copies moved since its release.
Zippity-doo-dizzy.
The U.K. Top 10:
1. "Heroes" - The X Factor Finalists 2010 *new* *1 week*
2. "Your Song" - Ellie Goulding
3. ""Love You More" - JLS
4. "Thinking Of Me" - Olly Murs *new*
5. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna
6. "The Flood" - Take That
7. "Like A G6" - Far East Movement feat. The Cataracs & Dev
8. "Firework" - Katy Perry
9. "Make You Feel My Love" - Adele
10. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
Hellllllo Everyone
Thank You :)
Video Premiere: Cheryl Cole - The Flood
I was really hoping that the second single off Cheryl's new album "Messy Little Raindrops" was going to be up tempo, because she does not have a strong voice for ballads, but either way I fell that the song will enter the top ten.
Now, on the video. The video for me is not really that good. It could have had a much better storyline or concept to it.
Wellesley vs Needham / High School Football / Thanksgiving / Oldest Rivalry in the Nation/ 2010
The Oldest Public High School Football Rivalry in the Nation; Wellesley vs Needham
w/ CBS MaxPreps Inc.
Needham, Massachusetts
Produced by Adam "Ace" Spencer
1901 Wellesley High School Football Team |
Its kinda crazy when I think about it... the oldest public high school football rivalry in the nation is between my alma mater, Wellesley High School, and Needham High School. Over 100 years ago, a few players from Wellesley challenged the Needham fellas, now here we are watching the 123rd meeting between these two towns/ schools.
This year the Needham Rockets came into the match with an 8-2 record while the Wellesley Raiders were right behind them at 7-3... so everyone knew it was gonna be another exciting match. But what we didn't know was, how close the match would be, and who would be this years winner.
Well, if you missed this years game, your in luck. Check out the video I produced for CBS MaxPreps Inc.
A great game, its too bad my old coach, Bill Tracey, and the Raiders couldn't walk away on top. And a random fact, but I was actually on Coach Tracey's first team at Wellesley when he took over as the Head Coach. So believe me when I say, I know this game means a great deal to him and each one of the players and coaches on the Raiders. And although I've never played for Needham, I've actually become friends and stayed in touch with a few of the Needham players that I competed against over 5 years ago.
1910 Needham High School Football Team |
So aside from the food and family, this is why I can't wait until next years Thanksgiving~ The Wellesley vs Needham... or is it, Needham vs Wellesley ... hah whichever you prefer, its the oldest public high school football rivalry in the country!

Nissan LEAF / Electric Car / future is now / 2011 / CAR TALK
This is the first Car Talk post! One thing I can honestly say is, I'm not the biggest car guy... and that's where my boy Lucky comes into the mix. My boy Jake "Lucky" Luchkovitz and myself will be working together to bring y'all the hottest, most interesting and informative news about the worlds current and future cars.
2011 NISSAN LEAF
~Lucky~
When I was stuck in traffic the other day, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of exhaust smoke filling the air from all the cars on the road. I am sure everyone would have to agree it can’t hurt to make a car partially out of recycled parts. Nor could it be bad that the air we breathe would have less exhaust fumes containing quoted Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen dioxide ,Sulphur dioxide , Benzene, Formaldehyde, Polycyclic hydrocarbons. Not to mention the possibility of not having to rely upon oil and gas as a temporary band aid to our ever growing energy needs. Gas is too expensive. I spent fifty dollars on a tank of gas today that will last me about 5 days if I’m lucky. Its ridiculous! I mean, Trains don’t burn gas… then how do they move?? Hhhmmm electricity maybe!?!
I did some research and found out, if we all drove electric cars that pollution problem would be solved… at least in terms of the pollution from cars. There are an estimated 806 million gas driven automobiles in use today polluting the air we breathe. The world’s population is booming with the exponential growth posing a problem with the earth’s natural resources. These key resources are diminishing; especially oil (namely gas). We have found it will effectively raise the price of gas as our surplus dwindles down and makes it an economic alternative in comparison to other more affordable options .Such as, electric that is continuous and constant and cost 1/5 the price of gas. That would suggest new innovative technologies to be invented in direct correlation to efficiency and affordability. Unveiling the first mass produced pure EV (electric) car offered to the vast global market as a 2011 model from Nissan, called the Leaf.
This vehicle will be retail price depending on dealer participation. The listed retail price is set at or around $32,780. It’s eligible for a federal tax savings up to $7,500, which could bring the remaining price to about $25,280. That’s not unreasonable especially for the first generation which is known to cost more to produce then the second or third generation. And considering the average miles driven a year is about 15,000 miles, you would save approximately $1,500 in operating cost per year driving a Nissan leaf, as opposed to driving your basic Honda accord. Own the Leaf for 10 years save $15,000. How functional is the leaf?
I suggest don’t buy a leaf if you do more driving than 100 miles in a day. There will be EV recharge locations but this infrastructure will take a long time to set up throughout all the various areas that we travel daily. The leaf is a revolutionary leap into the future and with less dependency on oil and relation to being environmentally friendly, it seems like we can all ask, will gasoline propelled vehicles be obsolete in the next decade?
I believe this is the future for cars. With this edition, I’d encourage you to have a second car for far commutes, road trips or vacation, but otherwise, the LEAF might be perfect for you. Our technology is evolving like crazy, and the thought of being able to plug in your car like your cell phone and then go out for a joy ride, work or to take care of errands, is tighhttt! Damn I wonder how much a “full charge” will cost hah?!?

Take That Get Saucy With The Host Of 'The X Factor' Italy
Naughty.
Christmas Jams: Hurts "All I Want For Christmas Is New Year's Day"
Given that their previous single "Stay" charted at #50 this past week (talk about "hurts"), seems the duo could use a more upbeat, festive jam to jump-start the buzz around them.
Anyway, really digging this one.

It's Kylie Minogue On A Duck Float In The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Well, okay—she's lip-syncing, as they all do during the parade. But at least she was there, braving the cold. (Unlike Carrie Underwood, who performed from the confines of some indoor Hard Rock stage.)
U.S. Chart Roundup: Rihanna Makes Hot 100 History With "Only Girl (In The World)"
Yes, RiRi's "Only Girl (In The World)" has finally inched its way to the top spot, two weeks after her second Loud single "What's My Name" was #1. Earlier this year she ruled with both her hooker jam "Rude Boy" and Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie."
Meanwhile, over on the Top 200, Rihanna settles for a #3 debut with Loud, behind Susan Boyle's The Gift (#1 for a second week) and 10-year-old Pittsburgh native/America's Got Talent runner-up Jackie Evancho's O Holy Night (#2). That's right—bow to SuBo's powerful thong, you amateurs!
Back on the Hot 100, just behind Rihanna is Pink's "Raise Your Glass" at #2. Her only other single to chart higher (not counting collaborative cover "Lady Marmalade" or shit "We Are The World 25") is "So What", which reached #1 two years ago.
It's annoying to think of that time period in the early '00s where labels by and large weren't offering CD singles in the U.S., and the iTunes store wasn't around yet. Because surely "Get The Party Started" would have been a #1 hit, rather than peaking at #4 on airplay alone? At any rate, Pink's Greatest Hits...So Far!!! debuts at #14 this week over on the Top 200.
Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You" finally cracks the Top 10 (#9), likely thanks to last week's episode of Glee. Gwyneth Paltrow's own tame version of "Forget You" from the episode debuts at #11.
And, hey—maybe this will pave a highly fuckable path for Enrique Iglesias' new single, "Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)"?
On a final single note, Michael Jackson and Akon's duet "Hold My Hand" debuts at #84. Currently it's up to #30 at the iTunes store. Will this will become MJ's first Top 40 hit in nearly 10 years, Jacko fans? Eeeeeeeeeeee-Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And on a final album note, 2010 American Idol winner Lee DeWyze appears to be dead on arrival. His debut LP Live It Up pretty much kicked the bucket with its #19 debut.
The U.S. Top 10:
1. "Only Girl (In The World)" - Rihanna *1 week*
2. "Raise Your Glass" - Pink
3. "Like A G6" - Far*East Movement
4. "We R Who We R" - Ke$ha
5. "Just A Dream" - Nelly
6. "Firework" - Katy Perry
7. "Just The Way You Are" - Bruno Mars
8. "What's My Name" - Rihanna feat. Drake
9. "Fuck You" - Cee Lo Green
10. "Bottoms Up" - Trey Songz feat. Nicki Minaj

Joe McElderry Vs. Carrie Underwood: Who Did The More Boring Version Of "There's A Place For Us"?
The clip features scenes from the upcoming Narnia: Curse of The Threaded Whorebag movie, or whatever the hell it's called. That said, the song won't be found in the film. Rather, the b-side (single is out in the UK on December 5), "There's A Place For Us," does.
But don't expect to hear Joe's version in the flick in the States. Carrie Underwood also recorded her own snoozy rendition, which will play during the end credits here.
Listen to her trash, plus a live version of Joe singing the track:
I'd ask who sings the song better, but both have finally cured my insomnia. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Enrique Iglesias Has A "Fuck" Song Now, Too
Of course, Akon sort of pioneered the modern-day fuck trail with his 2006 U.S. chart-topper "I Wanna Fuck You" (again, in its cleaned-up form, "I Wanna Love You"). But we expect that sort of fuckery from Akon, no?
And like with Enrique's comeback hit "I Like It," he's playing it safe by featuring a rapper on his new single—in this case, go-to MC Ludacris.
So will the DJ Frank E-assisted "Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You)" be a "Fuck You"/"Forget You"-sized hit? The dirty version is already at #21 on iTunes after being released yesterday, while clean version "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" is at #48.
Fuck yeah!

Mighty Mystic - New Album "Wake Up the World"
GLOBAL
Boston, MA
Local reggae artist Mighty Mystic, has finally blessed us with his Debut Album, Wake up the World! I don't wanna say it, but thats exactly what this album is gonna do. Being more than 50% Jamaican, I can honestly say, I don't listen to enough reggae... I do get it in, don't get me wrong now hah. But over the past few years there have only been a few new reggae albums that have really caught my attention like this one.
With records like "Better Times", and one of my favorites, "Riding On The Clouds", this album needs to be recognized on a GLOBAL level...
The album is currently #8 on iTunes Reggae Top Charts! ~Continue to show that support, and lets get him to #1
Check out his banger "Here I Am" ft. Shaggy and Lelie
Big tings a'gwan!

THE REEL ACE BLOG UPDATE
I just wanted to give people an update on the progress of the blog.
As you can see, since I actually "launched" the blog at the beginning of September, there has been a beautiful and consistent increase in traffic...Clearly there would be since I was starting from 0. But the fact that I'm more than 2 months into this, and there is still, a consistent and steady amount of traffic coming in, thats whats up! Its nothing crazy, but honestly, more than I thought there would be right now.
The next move is to... actually I aint tellin you my next move. I'll save all the tips and advice giving for the day I actually make it big hah... I don't wanna set you back now ;)
But as you can see from the picture above, I'm starting to get traffic from all over the nation...and even world for that matter.
Maybe those promotional and marketing classes were more useful than I thought hah.

Kim Zolciak's "Live" Performance Of "Google Me" Is Like Heaven Being Rammed In Your Ears
Kim sang her jam on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live the other night and displayed so much vocal prowess, she was able to drown out the 40 layers of her voice already on the backing track played under her.
Is Ke$ha dangerously close to being replaced as the New Queen Of Soul?

"Foolish" Music Video / Life After God / Moe Pope & Rain / Reks / Brick Records
"Foolish" by Moe Pope & Rain ft. REKS
off of the album LIFE AFTER GODS
Life After God is Moe Popes newest album produced by Rain. I haven't heard the entire album but from the few tracks I've heard, its tight. When I came across this particular video with Moe and Reks I thought it was an interesting combination since they have different styles. I think it was a good move tho, both dudes have been grinding for years and kinda have a completely different fan base, so hopefully they both walk away with alot more fans. But check out this video for now...
Damn, I wonder who's gonna win!? It might not even be Moe or Reks... so if you want one of them to win, vote for em!
Moe Pope doin what he does~

BOSTON MUSIC AWARDS 2010
the Liberty Hotel, Boston MA
December 5th, 2010
Its that time of the year folks, the BOSTON MUSIC AWARDS are here!
Its kinda sad there isn't more exposure for such an important event for our state and region of the country. With sooo many talented artist and groups here, you'd think this would be a major event... now its not to say its not MAJOR, because it's definitely a respected and successful night considering its been going on for over 20 years... but damn, after 20 years of being in existence, again, you'd think there would be a bigger buzz...
But the fact that there IS one night dedicated to bringing the entire mass music community together to celebrate the best of the best, is a great thing. And while everyone is under one roof, the event also raises money towards music organizations all around the state... so they are truly giving back in more than one way!
Yet again, I'm up in the air about who's gonna win what...
HIP HOP Artist of the YEAR;
PRODUCER of the YEAR;
POP/R&B Artist of the YEAR;
FEMALE VOCALIST of the YEAR;
BEST LIVE MUSIC VENUE;
BEST DJ/ DANCE NIGHT;
among many other awards and nominees...
