Remember back in the day – you know, like ‘97 – when Hip Hop used to be all about the bling and b*tches and shooting people, and every single rapper dressed in pants big enough for an entire posse? Well, it looks like the scene is going through some serious soul searching. And who have they come up with as the new model for Rap Fashion? None other than Steve Motherf**kin’ Urkel.

In this recent photo of Jay-Z we see Hova trying to pull off a new look we are dubbing, The Urkel. It might just be the glasses and the geeky look he has on his face, but it seems like Jay-Z is trying to bring mid-90’s family sitcom nerdiness into style. That’s all cool with us. But if he starts snorting when he laughs, that’s where we draw the line.

We’ve all heard them before: the dreaded pick-up line.

Most often, pick-up lines don’t accomplish what the pick-up liner has set out to achieve, which is getting the pick-up linee into or as close to, a bed, as possible. Sometimes, however, with the right heir of confidence, there is a diamond in the rough, which leads to someone gettin’ lucky.

And, sure, you can use Wikipedia to find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Egypt’s Rosetta Stone or an in-depth history of Boy Meets World.

But where do you go when you need to prepare the perfect pick-up line for a Friday night?
