Yardbarker, Beast Mode and B'more

Marshawn Lynch's "Beast Mode" Grill

Last week I met Marshawn Lynch. When he found out that my name is Dewey and that I'm from Baltimore, he got pretty excited. Turns out he's a huge fan of The Wire and his cousin's name is Dewey. Then again, everything seems to excite Marshawn. He's a happy dude.

Here are a few videos that Marshawn and I recorded for the Yard. One of these days I'll get back to blogging about the Ravens, but right now there's not really much to blog about and I'm sick as a dog. I'd rather be lazy and post embed code.

1) Does Tom Brady get hyphy? Honestly, when I asked Marshawn whether or not Tom Brady gets hyphy, his "What!!?" response and fierce stare made me a little nervous. I had absolutely no idea what to expect next. None whatsoever.

2) Sticks, stones and Beast Mode: Marshawn gets picked on because of he doesn't care about proper grammar. He also doesn't care about getting picked on. He's ice cold like that.

3) Yardbarker rap? Go Hard in the Yard: Marshawn's friend Shaadie decided he wanted to record a Yardbarker rap, and when Beast Mode heard about it, he said he'd only do it if I wrote the hook. I might have already had one too many sips of sauce, which is probably why I promised to not only write the hook but also contribute 16 bars. Shaadie emailed me last night and he's already working on the beat. I've got 16 bars already in the bank, but who knows if they're any good. I think I'm in over my head.
