Big Sean sat down with Vibe after the release of "Control" to discuss Kendrick Lamar's verse and it's monumental impact. He responded in the video below. But really, he said: "I knew what it was for the culture of hip-hop. You see how excited people are, and I wanted to do that for music—make that play happen. It gave me like the feeling of how hip-hop was. How it used to be. When I heard [Kendrick's] verse I wasn't about to go back and change my verse—that’s cheating. That ain't the way of an O.G. That ain't how G’s move. I wanted to [release the song] for the culture of hip-hop as opposed to myself."

There is no doubt that Mario is the face of video games. This becomes even more apparent when we try to finalize a list of the 10 Best Mario Games Ever. There are so many classics to chose from, we feel bad for the numerous classics we had to leave out. Most of his games are not only fun, they are classics that place Mario well above Sonic, Samus, Link and various other figureheads in terms of greatness. Just as Hulk Hogan is synonymous with wrestling, Mario is synonymous with gaming. When the average person hears the words “video game”, they will probably think of Mario. So we give credit where credit is due as we pay homage to the greatest plumber the world has ever known. Put down the mushrooms and check out our list of the 10 Best Mario Games Ever.

Granted, Jim Carrey can have dozens of faces in less than a minute, thanks to his amazing rubberface, but he has also undergone quite a few transformations over the years. Thanks to bad haircuts, barrettes, masks, The Mask and CGI, Carrey has had many different looks since his career began. We thought we’d take a look back at some of his more extreme makeovers and put them all in one place for your convenience. Enjoy!

In the music world, songs get passed around like a hot potato. Demo songs are sent to one artist, turned down, and recorded by another. Tracks bend gender rules, with Aerosmith snatching a power ballad from Celine Dion and Chris Brown handing over one of his tunes to Rihanna. Here are just 11 of the many songs that made it big after being turned down by other singers.

Austin-based photographer Emily Blincoe seems to have quite the sweet tooth. For her Sugar Series, she collected a wide range of color-specific candies, arranged them in deliciously symmetrical squares, and then photographed the organized compositions. She included every candy one can imagine, including lollipops, bubble gum, all kinds of fruit chews, hard candy sticks, taffy, gummy bears, PEZ, and even little heart-shaped piles of nerds. Each photograph features a slew of candies set against a solid, color coordinated background. Blincoe features the full rainbow—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple—as well as black, gold, and white. The light is exactly the same in every photograph, shining in from the left and casting shadows off to the right, which adds a bit of depth to the arrangements. Viewers can't help but wonder if, at the conclusion of the project, Blincoe enjoyed a little feast of sugary treats!

With all the crap going on in the world constantly, I’m just glad this — the work of Lauren LoPrete, a graphic designer living and working in the Bay Area — exists: This Charming Charlie, a collection of Charlie Brown cartoon images with lyrics from songs by The Smiths placed in the character dialogue bubbles.

It takes balls to pull off this stunt. It takes no balls to finish it. In this video, a guy bets another feller $25 that he won’t flinch while he kicks him in the ‘nads 10 times. It’s the kind of dare even the guys from ‘Jackass’ may deem too ridiculous. If the guy really wanted to be bold, he should’ve put down a sawbuck on the fact he’d be a falsetto by the end of this video.

Dating is tough, but breaking up is so much worse, especially over text message. Break-up texts are hard to write. You can’t be honest with the person, because if you were, you would unleash a fury upon them that would echo through eternity, but you can’t be too nice or it will never end. No matter what you do, don’t do it like any of these idiots. These are the 14 worst break-up texts ever.

A Reddit user, who goes by the name SirTechnocracy, apparently proposed to his girlfriend by posting a series of meme pictures on the site. According to the post, he had already picked out the ring with his girlfriend, but she wanted a surprising, unique proposal. He also said that commissioning all the pics “took months and a couple thousand dollars.” His additional plan was to put the ring in a safe and engrave the Half-Life 3 release date into it so it could get enough up votes to get on the front page of Reddit. Check out the proposal below. In case you’re wondering, she said yes. Special thanks to Leyawn for the tip.

So, Call of Duty: Ghosts! It’ll have an all-new graphics engine and new doggy buddies, which is cool and all, but what CoD fans really need to know about is the multiplayer. What’s being added to the multiplayer? Well, quite a bit as it turns out. Scroll down for a few CoD: Ghosts multiplayer details and a new trailer… Okay, a lot of this is Greek to me, since I’m absolutely terrible at games like CoD and their ilk, but I’ll try to relay the basics… - Character customization is going to be big in the game. The makers of CoD: Ghosts are promising their character editor is deep enough to create at least 20,000 unique combinations. - Oh, and you can create lady soldiers this time around, because murder and teabagging is just more fun in mixed company, don’t you think? - You can create up to 10-soldiers, each with a unique look and loadout. - News modes such as “Cranked”, in which a kill basically gives you a dose of speed, but also starts a 30-second timer during which you must get another kill, “Search and Rescue” where teammates can revive you if they grab your tags before the enemy, or “Squads” in which you get to put together custom squads to take on missions. - Of course there will be all sorts of new guns, killstreaks, maps and everything else you’d expect as well. Here’s the trailer…

With enough money, you can pay two famous stuntwomen to reenact the epic chicken fight scene from ‘Family Guy.’ That’s what happened here. The internet dug down to the very bottom of its pockets and forked over around $3,000. In return famous stuntwomen Jessie Graff and Tree O’Toole made this video. Seems like a fair trade.

The pitter-patter of crazy Koolaid the bird’s feet makes while he runs after his ball in this video is probably the greatest sound ever. Sorry, Beethoven — yer DONE! We hereby proclaim little Koolaid chasing his tiny ball the best sound to ever grace human ears. No seriously, watch it. It made us feel at LEAST as happy as we did the first time we heard ol’ Ludwig’s ninth symphony.

Jennifer Lawrence gets a lot of play around here. That happens when you're perfect. Seriously, she exceeds even the highest expectations. Talent, honesty, self-deprecation, the ability to f-yeah never doing a topless scene and everyone liking her all the more for it. Yep, that's perfection. So on her birthday we'd like to remind everyone how impossibly adorable she is with context-free GIFs that don't need context because she's Jennifer Lawrence. Here's to you on your birthday, Jen. May it be chocked full of food and facial expressions. #Jennifer+Lawrence

I blame Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Every since Madonna contributed “Beautiful Stranger” to the second installment in Mike Myers’s increasingly terrible spy spoof film series, it’s all been downhill. The “American Pie” cover. The string of uninspiring albums, from 2000′s Music to 2012′s MDNA. The dating of Alex Rodriguez. The fake British accent. The getting upstaged by M.I.A. The weird naked tributes. What happened? Fat Bastard, that’s what happened. But today, on Madonna’s 55th birthday, let’s pay tribute to what she once was (one of the most inspiring, creative, brilliant icons in pop music), and not what she is today (Kate Winslet, if Kate Winslet owned a BDSM dungeon and pumped weights during breaks). Here are 12 of her finest GIFs.

Steve Wozniak, the chubby, lovable half of Apple, wrote a short review of "Jobs": "I saw 'Jobs' tonight. I thought the acting throughout was good. I was attentive and entertained but not greatly enough to recommend the movie. [...] I suspect a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton’s own image of Jobs. Ashton made some disingenuous and wrong statements about me recently (including my supposedly having said that the ‘movie’ was bad, which was probably Ashton believing pop press headlines) and that I didn’t like the movie because I’m paid to consult on another one. These are examples of Ashton still being in character. Either film would have paid me to consult, but the Jobs one already had a script written. I can’t take that creative leadership from someone else. And I was turned off by the Jobs script. But I still hoped for a great movie. [...] I felt bad for many people I know well who were portrayed wrongly in their interactions with Jobs and the company. The movie ends pretty much where the great Jobs finally found product success (the iPod) and changed so many of our lives. I’m grateful to Steve for his excellence in the i-era, and his contribution to my own life of enjoying great products, but this movie portrays him having had those skills in earlier times."

In an incredible display of adorable creativity, redditor ppaul9 wrote a children’s book about his relationship with his girlfriend in order to propose to her. After having it illustrated and printed, he worked with a covert photographer who stuck the book in the kids section of their local library and then waited behind some shelves to document the proposal. While they were on a date, the couple stopped at the library to return some books and check out some more for the girlfriend’s nieces and nephews. The boyfriend pulled out his book, told her it looked like a good one, and asked her to read it to him.

In his final semester of architecture school, graduate student Hank Butitta grew tired of completing conceptual projects that only existed on paper and decided to bring an assignment to life. With this drive, Butitta impulsively bought a school bus off of Craigslist for $3,000 with the intention of redesigning it into a mobile home for his final project. The idea gained traction and the support of professional architects and instructors, prompting the ambitious architect to actually transform the vehicle.

Make up artist Lex Fleming did this series of Dr. Seuss body art. She’s got One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, The Cat In The Hat, The Lorax, and more! They’re all super impressive not to mention incredibly nostalgic. Reminds me of my pappy learning me how to read all those years ago. I was a late bloomer, so like, two, maybe three years ago. But I’m not ashamed. As they say: better late than never. Or as pappy used to tell me: you aren’t getting any younger and you were never that good looking to start off with. Maybe it’s time you learned how to read.

The third Toy Story movie went to some dark places, but it didn’t go all the way to the alcoholic murder hotel. Artist Kyle Lambert rectifies that obvious oversight with his digital paintings, which cast Pixar’s talking toys as characters from Stanley Kubrick’s horror classic The Shining. See what happens when all work and no play makes Woody a dull toy. Lambert explains that he created this series after reading Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich’s tweets about The Shining, which Unkrich says inspired him to become a filmmaker. After creating these paintings on the iPad Brushes app, he printed a poster of the entire series, which he gave to Unkrich. Fortunately, he’s also released all 25 images online.

Everybody’s got a butt. Except Assless Steve who lost his in a horrific accident. Though some say it was not an accident — dun dun dun! But (BUTT!) conpiracy theories aside, Japan Trend Shop is selling Shiridashi Butt Reveal Underwear. They’re little shorts that make it look like your ass cannot be contained and it’s busted out of your drawls. Or that you busted ass and it completely destroyed the back of your drawls. Either way, you’re showing off dat booty. And why shouldn’t you? It’s so nice! Jk, put that thing away, have you no decency? There are children present!

As far as dogs go on Instagram, Harlow and Sage aren't quite as popular as Maddie the Coonhound, Muu the French Bulldog, or Norm the Pug. The dynamic duo, however, are starting to get noticed for their photos and videos that capture their priceless expressions or their hilarious outfits. Especially awesome is this mesmerizing video showing Weimaraner Harlow wearing a black hoodie and shades. Below are some of our favorite pictures of soon-to-be Instagram rock stars Harlow and Sage.

TV hasn’t been the same since that one moment people on the Internet still get mad about when it’s spoiled, even though the episode aired nearly a year ago and really, if you don’t already know that Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad was a victim of Walter White’s full measures by now, you’re doing something…Oops. Anyway, I’ve missed Jonathan Banks’s dead-eyed scowl, so I’m eating this news up like a particularly hungry hippo. Jonathan Banks will appear in 11 episodes of Community‘s fifth season, EW has learned. Banks will tackle the role of Pat Nichols, an intense criminology professor with a mysterious background in military and police work. The Wiseguy alum makes his first appearance in the second episode of the season when Annie (Alison Brie) enrolls in his class.

I’m still pretty hesitant to believe that this is really and isn’t part of some grand viral marketing scheme for another film, but apparently director Timur Bekmambetov has been hard at work trying to produce the film Squirrels, which is about – you guessed it – squirrels. Except these aren’t just any squirrels, because just like Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds and James Nguyen’s Birdemic, Squirrels is the story of what happens when nature’s nut hoarders get fed up with humans and decide to fight back. A pre-production sales trailer for Squirrels hit the YouTubes over the weekend, and I assume that wherever Bekmambetov showed this clip, people just started throwing money and bank account numbers at him, because I can’t even count how many times I’ve thought, “If only someone had the balls to make a movie about a squirrel biting a little girl’s face off.”

Listen we’re not experts on science, but this seems like a pretty sound methodology. Get somebody really drunk and give them tests. Then get the same person really high and give them the same tasks. Compare the two results and decide which is better — alcohol or marijuana. SCIENCE! Buzzfeed wanted to be clear that the marijuana consumed in this video was done so legally in the state of California. So, cool your jets, Ranger Rick.

A short film called ‘Star Drunk’ answers a question you didn’t know you had: what would a movie look like if it was written by drunk people, directed by a drunk person and starred only drunk actors? Sorry, ‘Sharknado.’ You no longer hold the title for the most ridiculous movie to come out in 2013. The answer can be found in this sci-fi action flick, which actually comes out better than you think, thanks to some slick production and a cast that, while blitzed, is not fall-down-on-your-face-after-a-night-cruising-the-frat-houses wasted. One of the film’s stars even took to Reddit to dispel any talk the cast really wasn’t loaded: A big question being asked repeatedly and understandably is: were all the actors REALLY drunk? The answer is a big YES! In fact, I personally got so wasted due to not timing my drinking correctly to when I was supposed to deliver, that I actually passed out and had to do it all over again (yes, get drunk all over again) a couple days later.” Ahh, only in America can you go online to prove you were indeed inebriated while doing your job. What a country! As for what the cast of ‘Sharknado’ was on when they agreed to make that cult classic, well, that’s under wraps.

The blogosphere is still buzzing about Miley Cyrus’ risqué performance at MTV’s Video Music Awards, with some people taking a step back to ask a very basic question: why is MTV honoring videos, since it so rarely plays them anymore? That’s a riddle puppet newscasters Blake Worthington and Bungo, of Glove and Boots News, try to tackle in this funny video, in which they try to figure out what exactly happened to the “M” in MTV. The duo can’t hide their despair while discussing the parade of thoughtless reality shows the network now airs. Yes, the question of why MTV doesn’t play videos isn’t new, but this take is funny and pretty much on the money. Let’s just hope this trend stops soon. We don’t think we can handle a reality show about Miley opening a twerking academy.

When it comes to pulling off a robbery, this sad sack fell on his face. A robber tries to hold up a café in Brazil, with the kind of result you would expect to see in an old silent movie. The bandit enters the eatery and it looks like nothing exciting will happen. Well, whoever was in there must not have been in the mood to deal with a criminal because the outlaw was discarded like packing peanuts. If there’s any proof crime doesn’t pay, this is surely it.
