The QLE is the first step toward our larger goal of making a website where you can go to find out what is really going on out there. The idea was spawned by Meeps' constant fear that he might be missing out on something and B Money's fervent love of seeming like an authority on a subject. Please come back, check in, but most importantly, contribute! Enjoy.

Update to Shaq the Rapper
Well, turns out that Shaq's night job (being a fly MC) is interfering with his other night job, being a deputy sheriff in Phoenix.
You may be familiar with Joe Arpaio. He's the Phoenix-area Sheriff who clearly idolizes the warden in Midnight Run. No, he doesn't break prisoners' feet on a regular basis, but he does make them eat green bologna and live in tent cities in the Arizona desert all while wearing pink underwear. You get the picture - don't cross Joe, you'll be sorry.
Apparently Joe doesn't like quasi homo erotic rhetorical questions about the taste of Shaq's ass either, according to this story. Part of me likes this - it's true, no special treatment for Shaq. Part of me can't help picture a kid on the day they visit the firehouse in grade school getting the sticker-fireman's-badge ripped unceremoniously off his chest for pulling Suzy's pigtails.
The good news is he can always move to Portland where apparently anyone can become sheriff no matter how big of an a-hole you are.
According to SoundScan, which monitors U.S. record sales, Shaq-Fu's six albums have sold a total of 20 copies this year...in other words, less than 4 per.
