Excuse me! I haven’t seen this anywhere else yet, I don’t know what the other sites are waiting for.

Last Friday, I was invited by Tapwire Magazine to hit up the Playboy Mansion for a private EA Sports party.  My response when Tapwire co-owner The Truth asked me to go?  “Hold on.  Are you fucking serious?  Hell yes!”

And there were more familiar faces hittin up the party than we anticipated.  Cypress Hill performed with Julio G on the 1s and 2s, Xzibit rolled up in his Phantom, and our good friend Young De got interviewed by everybody on the red carpet!  Twista, Young Dre The Truth, J Turner, and Mad Mike from Pimp My Ride were also in attendance.  Hit the jump for some pics live from the red carpet!

AND, don’t forget! Tapwire Magazine is doing an exclusive Madden issue of their magazine with EA Games that’s gonna be off the fuckin hook!  It drops on August 14th, the same day Madden 2010 is in stores, so be sure to pick up a copy.  We’ll remind you again soon.  BIG fucking shout out to The Truth and Dre.
