Duck Dynasty Recap: Who’s Got Beef With Jerky?

“As rednecks, we have the right to eat beef jerky.” So speaketh Jason Robertson, and another episode of A&E’s hilarious Duck Dynasty hath been born. When Willie receives a package of Biltong, a South African form of beef jerky (because we all get that in the mail), he doesn’t want to share it with the crew.   A jerk about beef jerky, you could say. Duck Dynasty Clip – Biltong This sets off the usual barrage of complaints in the duck call room, which prompts Si to set up an actual complaint box. There are just so darn many, jack! Among them? There is no unlimited supply of coffee, or iced tea dispenser, or sofa for napping. Also, the toilet paper is like John Wayne … it don’t take crap off nobody! Obviously, instead of doing actual work, this segues into the gang making their own beef jerky. Jase wants to call it Jase Jerky, and what better name could there be! In the process, they learn that Big John Godwin has a dehydrator in his shed. There’s also a lot of other things in his shed. Many of which are alive. After a bike race and many more jokes at Si’s expense, Jase wins and the lazy but endearing gang goes to make jerky. Except Jep, who is still racing. As they make the jerky, there are more jokes about the stench and flies. Korie is increasingly put off by the smell, but it was worth it for the humor. Duck Dynasty Clip – Complaint Box Elsewhere, Phil and Miss Kay visit Willie and tell him they’re dying. Not like right away, but the point was it will happen at some point, and leads into a conversation about who will get what when the couple does pass. Miss Kay says she fell asleep in the bathtub. Willie says nobody dies from that, and they admit they’re healthy, but the overall goal is still a valid one. They’re 65, and it’s time to talk about this inevitability at some point. They leave to check out the Robertson family land, a serious undertaking. They talk about who should get what and make backup plans for the assets. Morbid, to be sure, but Willie looks at it as a way to spend time with his dad and says he will pretend to be surprised by whatever he is given in the end. A good lesson. Also, they discuss urinating in an arc. Good times. Duck Dynasty Clip – Miss Kay’s Will

At Least She’s Trying: Karrueche Previews New Clothing Line “The Kill”…Thoughts?

Karrueche Launches New Clothing Brand ‘The Kill’ It looks like our favorite scorned woman, Karrueche has a contingency plan for the inevitability that Chris Brown will leave her cold, dark and lonely in a back alley somewhere. Her backup plan is to put together a clothing company that will allow her to make a little bread on the side. The company is called The Kill (as in “Chris Brown, I’ll kill yo a$$ if you leave me!!!” maybe?). Anyway, we’re sure you can’t wait to see what her gear looks like, so she took to Instagram to show off the goods. Plus, a few of her friends (Christina Milian and Chris Brown) were spotted rocking the gear, too. The line launches on 12-12-12, So take a look and see if you’d cop or not.

Tyler Perry Stars in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Cast Kim Kardashian?

Even I, a beleaguered devotee of Tyler Perry’s melodramatic, muumuu-rocking oeuvre, had a difficult time accepting the inevitability of… God, I can’t even write it. Kim… ugh. Kiiiimmmm… fuck . KimKardashian. Kim. Kar. Dashian. Whew. OK. Even I had a difficult time accepting the inevitability of Kim Kardashian’s casting in Perry’s upcoming The Marriage Counselor , and that was before the tragic unraveling of her nuptials to that discarded oaf, whoever he was. I wasn’t alone, either; other fans’ disapproval pelted the door of the specially reinforced storm closet where Perry sought refuge. Now, with Kar… Kar… da… Ugh. With her shooting completed, the filmmaker finally took to his blog today to explain himself.

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ I’m With You: Don’t Call It A ‘Comeback’

‘What did we come back from? Malaria?’ frontman Anthony Kiedis says of first album in five years. By James Montgomery Red Hot Chili Peppers Photo: MTV News In one of the first stories written about the Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘ I’m With You, Rolling Stone ‘s David Fricke referred to the disc as the band’s “comeback album,” a phrase that would seem to make sense to most people, considering it was not only the band’s first effort in five years, but also their first since the departure of longtime guitarist John Frusciante . It should be noted, however, that RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis is not “most people.” Because to him, while I’m With You comes after a lengthy two-year hiatus and an even longer bout of soul-searching. “It’s the first time the band took more than a couple months off probably in the last 10 years,” new guitarist Klinghoffer said. Anthony Keidis told us he feels like RHCP are a “new band” on I’m With You. While they never seriously considered calling it quits, even Kiedis will admit that the Peppers’ break was necessary. In fact, it probably helped save the band. Because when they finally emerged from their hibernation, with a new member and a new lease on life, they were rejuvenated, reloaded and — most important of all — reborn. Which is why, though Kiedis won’t call I’m With You a “comeback album,” he’s got no shortage of other adjectives to describe it and the newfound joy it’s brought him and his bandmates. “It does feel incredibly fresh, and I feel as excited or more excited about this period — from the writing to the recording to the playing to the anticipation of going on tour — as I’ve ever felt about anything that we’ve done, from the beginning,” he said. “Sitting here, doing these interviews, listening to Josh, I often just go into a daydream of playing these songs live, and it’s the same feeling that I got in 1983, when I couldn’t sleep the night before a show, and if I did fall asleep, I would have a surreal little dream about the show itself; and, you know, I still have that feeling about this record and the inevitability of playing live, and kind of dreaming of set-list possibilities. … It’s a good feeling.” Related Videos MTV First: Red Hot Chili Peppers Related Artists Red Hot Chili Peppers

30 Seconds To Mars Get Conflicted In ‘This Is War’ Video

Long-delayed clip is heavy on special effects — and message. By James Montgomery Jared Leto in the “This is War” video Photo: EMI More than a year after they shot it — and nearly nine months since we asked “Whatever Happened to It?” — 30 Seconds to Mars premiered their “This Is War” video on Wednesday (April 6), a clip that’s nearly as heavy on special effects as it is on message. Opening with a quote from H.G. Wells (“If we don’t end war, war will end us”) and concluding with the computer-generated destruction of tanks, jets and all manner of implements of destruction — or, more specifically, their assemblage into something more, which may or may not be the group’s Triad symbol — “War” is actually all about peace, a concept that doesn’t seem to gibe with the fact that 30STM are dressed as U.S. soldiers, patrolling the desert in an armored Humvee. Then again, with its quick-cut montages of various deities and despots, perhaps the video is less about the physical act of war as it is the men who wage it — or, alternately, rail against it. As Jared Leto told MTV News last year, the clip and the song are about “the inevitability of conflict, the blessing of conflict and what we can all learn from it.” It seems that, no matter how inhumane the outcome, humankind is practically predestined for war — a fact that roughly 2,000 years of our existence has sadly proven time and time again. So rather than just come right out and say that war is bad — since, you know, duh — 30 Seconds to Mars try their very best to explore the various facets of the concept: the men and women who lead us to conflict and those who attempt to halt that march. It’s a tact they applied to the notion of sex in their “Hurricane” video , only here, they’re much subtler (as subtle as a war video with flying tanks can be, of course). But since a complete investigation of humanity’s foibles would take a lot longer to complete than the six minutes 30STM have to work with in “This Is War,” they basically leave their findings up to the viewer. When the pile of tanks and battleships at clip’s end transforms into a massive pyramid, the meaning isn’t readily apparent: There seems to be some sort of extraterrestrial force at play here, or perhaps it’s just the overwhelming good nature of humankind willing the event to happen. The image is clearly meant to provoke, but does it also provoke thought ? Ultimately, that’s up to you. Though, it bears mention that much like conflict itself, thought is a decidedly human condition. And it’s also more powerful than any bomb could ever be.

Drake, The Game Say Album Leaks Can Be A Good Thing

Chamillionaire, Paul Wall also agree that artists can’t blame poor sales on early bootlegs. By Shaheem Reid Chamillionaire and Paul Wall Photo: MTV News Drake has been anointed by many fans and journalists alike as hip-hop’s new golden master of ceremonies, but he is not exempt from the same problem plaguing most musicians these days. Bootleggers leaked his much-anticipated Thank Me Later LP earlier this week, but the Toronto MC took it stride, tweeting, “I gave away free music for years so we’re good over here.” Drake told TheLifeFiles.com that the word of mouth won’t hurt him. “It’s a honor to make this dream come true for Wayne, and I’m excited to start my journey,” he said of the new album, which he previewed for the press on Wednesday. “I always say, if I would have put out an album that was poor quality, I think the leaks would have hurt me. Because a lot of the feedback has been great, it can only help.” The Game spoke about the inevitability of leaking when he stopped by the MTV Newsroom on Wednesday. “Every album is getting leaked from now until the duration of hip-hop,” he said. “It’s just once it hits the plant, or once a radio station gets their promo, somebody is gonna leak the album. You can look forward to it being leaked a week early or whatever. It’s gonna get leaked.” Chamillionaire and Paul Wall weighed in as well. And though they agreed that an MC’s ire is definitely raised when his album leaks early, for the most part, it doesn’t hurt too much. “You can’t not be bothered by that,” Cham told MTV News. “Because you wonder, is that a sale that I could have made? You hate to see all your hard work that you went to the studio doing. We done seen bootleggers riding 28s. We like, ‘Man, they eating good off of us.’ But we understand; you just gotta give them that music. If it’s dope, they gonna come buy it. I don’t think Drake or anybody else should worry if it’s dope. If people want it, it’s gonna create enough hype. 50 Cent, even Lil Wayne, everybody suffered from leaks and some people benefited from it.” Wall agreed that leaks can do as much good as they do harm. “If the album don’t sell good — that’s just not Drake, this is every artist — then [they say], ‘Oh, it got bootlegged.’ If it does great, then they’ll be like, ‘Oh, it does great ’cause the bootleg got out, and it let everybody know this was legit.’ It goes both ways.” Game suggested that any artists who complain that leaks hurt their sales should stop making excuses and make better music. “Lil Wayne showed me that,” Game said. “His album leaked four weeks before Tha Carter III was supposed to come out, and he sold a million the first week. That’s just an excuse. … It’s no longer acceptable because people are still selling.” Do you think leaks can help as much as they hurt? Talk about it in the comments.
