No, I’m not talking about the Awards show from the other night…because I didn’t even watch it, minus when I happened to be flippin’ channels & caught the tail-end Wayne’s performance .
It looks like some of BET’s corporate sponsorship finally heard the cries of millions who felt like Black Entertainment Television didn’t represent the best interests for anyone in the supposed demographic. Read the rest of this entry »
Words By Contraâ„¢
I think that certain song titles should have an extended, pregnant pause attached to them.
I had initially thought this in regards to Alfa’s song, “Who want this beef?”, but said nothing. (Gottyâ„¢ said it though).
This time, I shall not remain silent. Pause to all MJ titles like this:
Michael Jackson Featuring Akon – “Hold My Hand”
Seriously?
I would further like to insist that ex-cons stop going for the obvious puns.
R.Kelly with the whole “Playas Get Lonely” or whatever nonsense that was and then when word leaks that he may have paid the girl, he has a new single called “Money”…word? Read the rest of this entry »
H.E.R. threatened urged me to tell you that CuDi’s the truth. I’m gonna Tivo his bio real quick.

This isn’t just aimed at Obie. No he’s not the first and he’s damn sure not the last.
The industry isn’t the NBA. So when you hear an artist boasting about their free agency, it’s never a good thing. I can never understand what certain artists look to accomplish by going for dolo when their claim to fame is association with the ship they abandoned and especially when they have an entire discography dedicated to expressing their loyalty in verse. Their story is always the same as well: “They didn’t promote my album right” or “We released the wrong single.” But that’s not song they were singing prior to the album’s release. It’s usually like this as well: “We went in 110%” or “Everybody is happy with the product.” Read the rest of this entry »

Early track here to wet your beaks, complete with Run-DMC shoutout on the hook.
The past few days & weeks I’ve watched myself go through a minor change.
I’ve started buying more cds and even vinyl. And just by talking to others, I’ve been surprised by how many of my e-homies still buy vinyl as well.
Now when it comes to buying vinyl, I’m not necessarily speaking of going out & getting my fingers dusty (although I have), because realistically, there’s not a lot of stores around here that stock it &, much less, have any worthy titles from the Hip-Hop genre (you can get some good jazz in the Music City though). My vinyl-buying has be a lot of clicking around online to find the cheapest deals, word to Amazon’s vinyl store & eGay auctionsnipers.
With cds though, I’ve been picking them up mercilessly. It all started with a few gift cards I received as birthday gifts & it’s taken on a whole ‘nother level of pursuit and passion Read the rest of this entry »
Opportunity: noun 1. a favorable juncture of circumstances. 2. a chance for advancement or progress. [Merriam-Webster]
Opportunity is a finicky and unpredictable event, so one has to always be ready to strike when their moment arises. This occurred for Three 6 Mafia in 2005 when their break-out single “Stay Fly” dominated the airwaves and their song “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp,” garnered them an Oscar for Best Original Song. With all eyes on the group, what do they decide to do? Forgetting they won the Oscar for best song and not actor, DJ Paul & Juicy J headed west to Hollywood to pursue movie “opportunities.” The result was their short-lived reality show Adventures In Hollyhood. 2 ½ years later they finally return back to what opened the doors – the music, with the release of their oft-delayed album Last 2 Walk. Sadly the only redeeming value this album has is as a warning to those who fail the strike when the iron is hot. Read the rest of this entry »
