I’m too lazy right now, suffering from The Itis. But after listening, this is too good not to share. Therefore, I’m just gonna jack my brother Rizoh’s words for the skinny. Read the rest of this entry »

French Montana Feat. Max B. & Dame Grease – “Goon Music (We Run N.Y.)”

While it’s only February, there’s been plenty of noteworthy mixtapes to unzip and spin n’ the whip. And Biggavelli and le French de Montana’s latest speedball of a record stacks up nicely in the win column all the same. Read the rest of this entry »

Unless you’re from the Left Coast or a card-carrying Hip-Hop nerd, you probably haven’t heard of the questionably named N.A.S.A, a collaborative effort between Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon. But if most Hip-Hop fans don’t recognize these two, their musical peers clearly respect their talents. The guest list on their debut The Spirit of Apollo reads like a Hip-Hop Hall of Fame: Scarface, Kanye West, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, E-40, as well as rock legends David Byrne and Tom Waits.

All that talent at your disposal is nice, but it also places an onus on the unknown producers to create music worthy of their artists. In this, Clean and Zegon have succeeded, fusing electronica, old school Hip-Hop beats and Brazilian funk to create a consistently engaging and dynamic sonic canvas for their artists.

50 cent breaks new boundaries yet again, and twice. First, by writing a “diss poem”. Secondly, by doing this buffoonery.

Now, I understand that the man is beefing with Lil’ Wayne, Rick Ross, Anyone who forgot to send him a birthday card DJ Khaled, and that supposedly someone dissed his kid… Read the rest of this entry »

I love when February rolls around and basketball starts to get serious.

It’s especially engaging in college basketball when teams start jockeying for league titles and tournament seeds. I rep Ohio State to death, but when it comes to basketball they share my loyalty with North Carolina. Last night, the Tar Heels went up against their arch-rival Duke and it was another great game. Like the Yankees and Red Sox, this is the type of rivalry where even casual fans choose a side and feign interest. From Stackhouse to ‘Sheed, Carter to McCants and the endless Eastern European 4 & 5′s Dean always had near the end of his tenure; I’ve seen my share of games. However, my most memorable moment from the overall series is actually one that never happened. Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s try this again, shall we?

Because the last time, there was a public outrage (especially from you) against the Don Cannon drops. If you’re among those who could do without DC’s creative input, then this one’s for you. And for your troubles, they’ve included the “Get You Right (Remix)” as a consolation prize. Read the rest of this entry »

The folks @ Yardbarker catch up with a few stars & athletes on their way to Diddy’s Good Life Experience Super Bowl party in Tampa and ask them to name all of his nicknames. Imagine if they were given the same task with Tashan Dorsett as the subject.

Note To Jordin Sparks, Deion and Pilar Sanders, Ryan Howard, Dwight Freeney & DJ Clue: You forgot one. Diddy is better known to Fonzworth as Puff The Magic Dragon.
