About Us

Welcome to GUY CODE, the official blog of MTV2's "Guy Code" series and your online destination for all things dude, including—but not limited to—irreverent commentary on sports, hip-hop and ladies. Stay awhile and flex your manhood.

Rapper Kid Cudi recently made headlines by announcing plans to start his own label. This isn't a surprise. Plenty of musicians start their own "vanity labels" after achieving success. And if they're not successful, they created their own labels because no one else would publish their music.

The reason Kid Cudi's label turned heads is its silly name, Wicked Awesome Records. No one is sure why he chose it. He's not from Massachusetts, where that's a common phrase. He's from Cleveland, so "F--- Off, LeBron Records" would have made more sense. You can follow the logic behind most vanity label names. Paris Hilton has Heiress Records. Jack White started Third Man Records because his favorite number is "three." Still others, like Cudi's, are just laughable. Let's take a look.

1. Demonstealer Records

Did you know there is a death metal scene in India? That's right and the band Demonic Resurrection is at the forefront. In 2005, they began Demonstealer to distribute their and their friends' music. We get the whole "demon" thing with death metal and all. But how does one steal a demon? And why would they want to? If you're in an Indian death metal band, you already have plenty of your own demons.

Kanye West will perform at a bar mitzvah for a cool $1 million. One million. At least, that's the price that Kanye reportedly demanded from former NBC president Jeff Zucker for an appearance at Zucker's son's bar mitzvah this past weekend. Ultimately, Zucker wouldn't pony up the big bucks and settled for the more reasonably priced Drake (who's still fancy, huh), as if the rappers were lined up on a carousel ready to drop in to celebrate the 13-year-old Jewish boy becoming a man.

But if Kanye had turned up for the party, given the youthful crowd, he may have had to mix up his lyrics to fit the occasion. Like the above, for example. Got a better Kanye West lyric adapted for the Jewish rite of passage? Submit it in the comments!

If you were absolutely obsessed with the Royal Wedding than you already know exactly who Ellie Goulding is. Since we're betting (nay praying) that you aren't, we'll give you a rundown of why she performed at Kate and William's reception and why she's on "Saturday Night Live" (with Tina Fey) this week.

The voice of the UK chart-topping chanteuse floats somewhere between Adele and Bjork. She rocks the drums and guitar and, from the looks of the following pictures, can do an amazing Stevie Nicks hair flip and still look sweet wearing a bustier apparently designed for a harlequin. (Top that, Dave Grohl.)

According to several reports Kate and William love Ellie's cover of Elton John's "Your Song" (which she also performed on "SNL"). For a listen of Ellie Goulding's sound, check out this performance from "MTV Home" (an MTV show from somewhere on the other side of the pond). Plus, peep more Ellie Goulding pics after the jump.

In the beginning, G-Unit was 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo--three plucky kids from South Jamaica, Queens, with the abilities to both rap and get shot without dying. Then the group expanded to include Tennessee rapper Young Buck and Compton MC Game. That's the G-Unit we all knew and loved, and if Lloyd Banks has his way, it's the G-Unit we may never know again.

On this weekend's premiere of "Funk Flex Full Throttle," Banks tells Funkmaster Flex that there are no plans to get Game and Buck back into the group. And even if there were, the time isn't right for a group album now anyway. "I think it's pretty much finished," Banks said about a possible reunion. "It's time to branch out and do your thing as a solo artist." Anyway, what he didn't say but was probably thinking, was only weird dudes make group albums these days.

Watch the premiere of "Funk Flex Full Throttle," Saturday, May 8 at 1:30p/12:30c.

It could be argued that the highest honor a recording artist can receive is induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, or a Kennedy Center Honors Award, or a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Of course, anyone making those arguments would be an idiot, because the highest honor a recording artist can receive is having a beer named after him. No other accolade comes from the people who really matter: drunken suburbanites with too much time on their hands, also known as fans. People slaving over a vat of barley to invent something bearing an artist's name is much more special than some bald suit handing over an award.

That's why Ghostface Killah is likely walking with a little pep in his step today. A Colorado-based brewery recently concocted a new beer it's calling "Ghost Face Killah," and it debuts tomorrow! The brew, which honors the Wu Tang Clan rapper--even though it spells his name wrong--is made with six different types of peppers and is therefore "the hottest beer this side of hell."

Ghostface joins a illustrious club of recording artists to receive this ultimate honor, including...
