SMOKE BREAK November 22, 2009 | J. Tinsley | COMMENTS: 18

This past Wednesday night, my homie Vaughan and I were in attendance (upper deck, $10 student tickets) to watch King James and company take on the local NBA franchise, the Washington Wizards. Here’s five things I experienced and/or learned: 1. The people of D.C. HATE LeBron with a passion. Almost as if he is the reason for the small slice of hell known as “five o’clock traffic.” 2. The...

Maino - “Let’s Make A Movie” Video

MUSIC November 22, 2009 | By MZ | 1 Comment

Tomorrow has come and gone, but Maino continues to soldier on. On his slept-on debut, this was one of the songs that didn’t seem to fit the overall theme of the album. But after seeing this it seems to fit in a little better. It’s not a love song, It’s a thug (strip) club song.

Me, LC & Sheed

Everything Else November 22, 2009 | By Gotty™ | 13 Comments

Being the bastion of wisdom that he is, Sheed dropped off this (now old) jewel & I agree. I tried Twitter for a sustained period but had to give up and have taken my seat back on the sidelines with Ms. Weber. It looks like Sheed went in with high hopes, as did I, only to discover the inevitable....

“Crime Wave” - Review Of 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct

ALBUM REVIEWS November 21, 2009 | By TC | 34 Comments

It’s been a long yet lucrative road to the release of Before I Self Destruct, 50 Cent’s much documented final record on his Interscope contract. Possibly the genre’s last mega-star before Hip-Hop was regressed by the digital age, 50 saw endless mounds of success through business ventures,...

I Cannot Be The Only One…

…who can waste damn near a whole day watching back-to-back episodes of “The Game.” Pull my hoe card, call me names, whatever. Let two good episodes come on and me have the spare time to watch. It’s a wrap.

“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

AUDIO November 21, 2009 | By TC | 9 Comments

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny...
