Conan O'Brien has a special segment for his TBS show where he plays and then reviews video games for his viewers. Unfortunately, the host is not a great video gamer player, so the segment is aptly titled "Clueless Gamer." For his most recent "Clueless Gamer" segment, Conan was reviewing "Splinter Cell: Blacklist," so he decided to get a fan of the game: Grammy award-winning recording artist J. Cole. Hilarity ensues.
Like most of these segments, Conan has to be walked through most of the game, especially the start. Cole explains that he used to play the game in college, so he helps the late night talk show host out with some of the controls.
Plenty of choice quotes come from this special segment. Here are a few examples:
- "Every single one of these games starts with a 40-minute film."
- "Did you ever notice that these guys - it's such good animation, but they're slightly cross-eyed?"
- "I don't have a gun? Sam Fisher went to go get terrorists, and he didn't bring a gun, but he brought his little light-up sweater?"
These might seem a little out of context for you, so check out the "Clueless Gamer" segment, featuring J. Cole, right here:
J. Cole was recently under fire for a controversial lyric on a song. Here is an excerpt from Mstars' coverage of that story:
Rappers have been subject to scrutiny for controversial lyrics a lot as of late. "Born Sinner" rapper J.Cole is the latest rapper to come up the microscope for his lyrics on the "Jodeci Freestyle" featuring Drake. The Anti-Bullying Alliance started a petition (which gathered over 4,000 signatures) to decry Cole's lyrics, I'm artistic, you n*ggas is autistic, retarded."
After realizing he offended people with autism, Cole kept it organic going back to his paper and pen to write a heatfelt apology to Austism Speaks. While Cole offers an apology he starts of the letter stating that rap is intended to ruffle feathers, however when an apology comes from the heart and is not forced to save an endorsement deal then it is more legit. Cole wrote:
"I view rap similar to how I view comedy. It's going to ruffle feathers at times. It's going to go "too far". I do not believe that an apology is needed every time someone is offended, especially when that apology is really only for the sake of saving an endorsement or cleaning up bad press."
