The Lyric Video for Nicki Minaj Feat. Drake and Lil Wayne’s ‘Truffle Butter’
Much like Drake and Lil Wayne’s Bay-nodding 2011 single, “The Motto,” tore up the charts while only appearing on the former’s Take Care as a bonus track, the pair blessed their labelmate Nicki Minaj with guest verses on the similarly relegated “Truffle Butter.” The bonus track from The Pinkprint has become nearly inescapable, and now there’s a Technicolor lyric video to go along with the track.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
A man spent hours watching a butterfly struggling to emerge from its cocoon. It managed to make a small hole, but its body was too large to get through it. After a long struggle, it appeared to be exhausted and remained absolutely still. The man decided to help the butterfly and, with a pair of scissors, he cut open the cocoon, thus releasing the butterfly. However, the butterfly’s body was very small and wrinkled and its wings were all crumpled. The man continued to watch, hoping that, at any moment, the butterfly would open its wings and fly away. Nothing happened; in fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its brief life dragging around its shrunken body and shriveled wings, incapable of flight. What the man out of kindness and his eagerness to help had failed to understand was that the tight cocoon and the efforts that the butterfly had to make in order to squeeze out of that tiny hole were Nature’s way of training the butterfly and strengthening its wings. Sometimes, a little extra effort is precisely what prepares us for the next obstacle to be faced. Anyone who refuses to make that effort, or gets the wrong sort of help, is left unprepared to fight the next battle and never manages to fly off to their destiny.” -Paulo Coelho

WTF!!!!! DeMarco Murray interested in Eagles
League rushing champion DeMarco Murray personally reached out to Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly on Wednesday morning, expressing his desire to play in Kelly’s spread offense and with former Oklahoma roommate and quarterback Sam Bradford, according to league and team sources. [+] Enlarge AP Photo/Scott BoehmDeMarco Murray has personally reached out to Eagles coach Chip Kelly to express an interest in joining the team. Murray’s call was enough to prompt tepid interest from the Eagles despite their agreement with former Chargers running back Ryan Mathews. Murray is flying to Philadelphia to meet with Eagles officials on Thursday, a league source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Wednesday night. The obstacle for Murray signing with the Eagles still would be money, a source said, as Kelly has made it publicly and privately clear that the team will be financially prudent in its personnel decisions. During Murray’s discussion with Kelly, a source said the running back characterized Bradford, who was acquired by the Eagles from the Rams on Tuesday, as one of his best friends. Both operated successfully out of Oklahoma’s spread offense when they were teammates from 2007 to 2009. Murray also played the 2010 season at Oklahoma after Bradford moved on to the NFL. “Absolutely. I’ve been trying my hardest,” Bradford said Wednesday of trying to recruit Murray. “I’ve called him. I’ve texted him. I’ve done everything. We’ve been in communication. If we can somehow land him, it would be a great pickup. Not only is he a great player, he’s a great person. He’s a really close friend of mine, too. I think he can really help this ballclub.” Of course, Murray just won the rushing title in 2014 for the Cowboys, running behind one of the best offensive lines in the league. The Cowboys are still monitoring Murray’s market in free agency and would like to re-sign him.
