“They Wanna F*ck My Car”

Ridin down the street in my very fly car/ I see her, she see me, Mountain Dew up on the side…

Mmmm Hmmmmm!

*thumbs up*

Your daily dose of all ze ‘Tube has to offer. A treasure trove of the ridiculous. A bevy of beauties like the Scrayper Boyz.

Now, I can’t be positive, but I’m fairly certain there was a store in the mall circa 1993 called “Scrayper Boyz,” and it sold a wide array of cassette tapes, Chris Webber NCAA jerseys and Ferrari posters. Nonetheless, these Scrayper Boyz bring Read the rest of this entry »

L.A.U.S.D Presents Curly Tops And Nautica Jackets

03.25.09 Written by MZ

I’m pretty sure almost everybody around here remembers walking out the house in a similar fashion a few years ago. Polo, Nautica, Tommy, Starter and Eddie Bauer were the brands du jour and we walked around high school/college like it was an urban country club. Poppin’ tags meant leaving them on (and visible) so everyone knew how much you paid (or didn’t pay). Well, the Los Angeles Unified Sound District does and they’ve created a mixtape to celebrate the era.

Boasting appearances by Blu, Pac Div, U-N-I, Diz Gibran, & Dom Kennedy this West Coast collective will have you miss the bus (or carpool) if your not careful. Backcover with tracklisting after the break. Read the rest of this entry »

Don Cornelius: Chris Brown’s Ray Of Hope

03.25.09 Written by Gotty™

Young whippersnappers like Chris Brown don’t learn their backhand from the misogyny portrayed in rap music. They l earn it by watching TV & old people, you can believe that. Old people on TV like Don Cornelius. Read the rest of this entry »

“Introducing Nato Caliph…”

03.25.09 Written by MZ

Understandably, DJ Trackstar’s a busy guy, but he’s been holding out on us y’all. We’ve been properly introduced to Wafeek, Vandalyzm, Black Spade, Karim, & Rockwell Knuckles but Nato Caliph has been kept in the shadows. I had to go all the way to Austin to find out about him and I won’t make you guys suffer from not going. Read the rest of this entry »

“My Sonshine…”

03.25.09 Written by Beware

Goldie Loc.

It’s been a hot one since we’ve heard new music from Goldie Loc.

With Tray Deee locked up, Snoop cold kicking it with the fam and his Warzone project on the backburner, it seemed the former third wheel of the Eastsidaz had fallen back on the rap tip. Well, assumptions be d*mned, because the Locsta just dropped a heat rock. Read the rest of this entry »

Tanya Morgan x B.o.B. x Mickey Factz x Curren$y x After Austin

03.25.09 Written by Gotty™

We tried to have all of our SXSW’ing done by yesterday so as to not overburden your brain with coverage. But I’ve got a feeling the film & audio are going to keep making their way electronically via others. Fine by me because it’s worth. Maybe not fine by some of you. Dah well! Go on to another post if you need to lol.

Found in the inbox from Von Pea of Tanya Morgan

We recorded our set at Peckerheads (pause haha) and put a quick “live” EP of it together so people could check out what we did and get an idea of whats to come on the album. A screamed verse here and there aside, it came out pretty good so I wanted to pass it onto you guys.

And like passing the baton in the relay, we’re passing it along to you. Tracklisting & download link after the jump, plus additional digital materials. Read the rest of this entry »

“A Method To The Madness…”

03.24.09 Written by Contra™

“While y’all thinking I’m trash, loving the taste of success and this drink in my glass.”

You know who most rappers want to be? Meth.

Several platinum albums, several gold, a Grammy or two, a successful solo and group career(s), TV and big screen fame, video games and even comic books. Still maintaining a good private situation at home, and persevering a decade and a half into the game.

But that’s not really why Meth is one of my favorite MC’s pretty much of all time. Read the rest of this entry »

Words By Lola P.

My friend Malay introduced me to Yelawolf when I was in Atlanta a few months ago. He was different. Cool, friendly, easy going…but real different with a quiet, yet confident air all to himself. Given that vagueness, I didn’t really know what to expect from his music.

The week before I left, I got word that Yelawolf was doing a performance at Lenny’s Bar and my people and I wanted to go check it out. It was a more Read the rest of this entry »

Pullin’ h*es since Bo Jackson was a Raider…”

The Cali trio of Pacific Division dropped their self-titled EP today via iTunes. Low low price of less than $3. We all know you’ve got a $5 gift card to the iTunes store so use it to support some talented upstarts and still have enough left over to cop that Katy Perry mp3 you’ve been secretly wanting.
