			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-ups.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-ups.jpg" alt="will-ferrell-ups" title="will-ferrell-ups" width="625" height="434" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36215" /></a><br />
<em><font size="1"> Don&#8217;t be mad, UPS is hiring&#8230;</font></em></p>
<p>Is the jig up for <strong>Will Ferrell</strong>? Seems like yesterday that Silly Willie was on top of the box-office world, but it appears his reign might be coming to an end. With his latest, <em><strong>Land of the Lost</strong></em>, flopping harder than Pau Gasol this past weekend, it may be time for Mr. Ferrell to reassess his film career. Dude&#8217;s already made a hundred thousand trillion playing the same role over and over again (even on <a href="http://www.complex.com/CELEBRITIES/Cover-Story/Will-Ferrell-and-Andre-3000">our cover</a>!), so there&#8217;s no reason he can&#8217;t parlay that character into other potential jobs. Here, then, are <strong>six new careers for Will Ferrell</strong>&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-36213"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-landlord.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-landlord.jpg" alt="will-ferrell-landlord" title="will-ferrell-landlord" width="625" height="411" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36221" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong><u>LANDLORD</u></strong></font><br />
The real-estate bubble burst like a bad implant, word to Chyna, so now’s the time for Ferrell to get in the housing game and spend some of his <strong><em>SNL</em></strong> money. Don’t let the funny-guy routine fool you; he <em>will</em> evict that ass. You can&#8217;t front on a dude who <a href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/3526/saturday-night-live-family-dinner" target="_blank">DRIVES A DODGE STRATUS!</a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-wrestler.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-wrestler.jpg" alt="will-ferrell-wrestler" title="will-ferrell-wrestler" width="625" height="390" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36261" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong><u>WRESTLER</u></strong></font><br />
At 6&#8242;4&#8243;, Ferrell has the presence of a young Ted DiBiasi. Okay, maybe not, but he&#8217;s no stranger to getting acrobatic with other men (to wit: <em><strong>Blades of Glory</strong></em>), which is like 70% of the way to <strong>WWE</strong> superstar status. The other 30%, in case you were wondering, is equal parts steroids and poor life decisions.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/lateshowhost.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/lateshowhost.jpg" alt="lateshowhost" title="lateshowhost" width="625" height="404" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36271" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong><u>LATE-NIGHT SHOW HOST</u></strong></font><br />
With <strong>Leno</strong> gone and <strong>Conan</strong> still finding his freakishly gawky footing, Ferrell would be a no-brainer (word to your girlfriend) on the late-night circuit. Don&#8217;t forget, a dude named <em>Spike Feresten</em> has a late-night hosting job. Our man could come in there and do nothing but eat spinach-artichoke dip for an hour and still body that herb.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/trashman.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/trashman.jpg" alt="trashman" title="trashman" width="625" height="559" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36279" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong><u>SANITATION WORKER</u></strong></font><br />
We’re tired of surly garbage collectors who <strike>don’t smile as they collect our week’s worth of beer cans and love tissues</strike> strew our porn on the sidewalk. At least Ferrell can act like he’s having fun while he picks up discarded pallets of <em>Land of the Lost</em> Blu-Ray discs. You see what we did there? We took a cultural failure and made it even more irrelevant. Oh, MAN. That was awesome.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrel-traffic-cop.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrel-traffic-cop.jpg" alt="will-ferrel-traffic-cop" title="will-ferrel-traffic-cop" width="625" height="573" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36281" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong><u>POLICE OFFICER</u></strong></font><br />
Directing traffic can bring out the loud, annoying asshole in anyone (no Taco Bell). Ferrell + badge = hilarity. Or Justin Volpe 2.0, we&#8217;re still not sure which. Either way, he&#8217;d be more entertaining than whatever <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s043quEQ9FY" target="_blank">turd</a> Werner Herzog and Nic Cage are squeezing out of their Elvis-necrophilia meetings.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-douche-bag.jpg"><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/will-ferrell-douche-bag.jpg" alt="will-ferrell-douche-bag" title="will-ferrell-douche-bag" width="625" height="469" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36283" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><font color="red"><strong><u>DOUCHEBAG</u></strong></font><br />
Ferrell’s multi-gazillion-dollar cumulative box office take proves that people love his asshole comedy routine. Why not just run with it? Just go Frank from <em>Old School</em> full-time. It&#8217;s easy: 1. Show up 2. Scream &#8220;Blue, you&#8217;re my BOY!!!!&#8221; at other assholes 3. Have sex with their girlfriends because he&#8217;s famous and they&#8217;re not 4. Collect giant check. Seriously, try it, it works.</p></blockquote>

20 years ago<strong> Big Daddy Kane</strong>, <strong>Kid n&#8217; Play</strong>, and <strong>Kwame</strong> made the flat top style cutting edge. But today&#8217;s post-<a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2008/03/27/yo-mtv-raps-returns-this-april/">Yo! MTV Raps</a> generation has carbon-copied the trend of yesteryear with hopes of bringing it back. If you live outside of NYC, this trend might just be hitting your town, but for the last few years, fashionista folks like The Retro Kids (pictured above) have been inspiring our city&#8217;s youth to rock the throwback style.</p>
<p>Think flattops still have a place in fashion <a href="http://digitalheadbutt.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/brandon-jennings-hero-of-the-mcdonalds-all-american-game/" target="_blank">today</a>? Hump or Dump it after the jump.<br />

		<description><![CDATA['80s babies stand up. MTV celebrates the 20th anniverary of hip-hop's ground-breaking show with a string of re-runs this April.  ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/yo.jpg' alt='yo.jpg' /></p>
<p>Ever since <em>Yo! MTV Raps</em> was cancelled in 1995, rap fans have been keeping their fingers crossed in hope of the return of the first real tv show to bring hip-hop to a mainstream audience. This April, their wish is granted as MTV will re-air the classic episodes hosted by <strong>Dr. Dre</strong> and <strong>Ed Lover</strong>, featuring <strong>Fab 5 Freddy</strong> to commemorate the show&#8217;s anniversary. While the re-runs plan to satisfy old-school rap lovers, this should be a wake up call to the network&#8217;s execs that hip-hop (or their videos) isn&#8217;t dead, and that they could very-well resurrect the show showcasing the talented new generation. After the jump, use the clip of the show&#8217;s all-star final episode to jog your memory&#8230;<br />
