Ah, the benefits of my trial-version of Sirius Satellite Radio.

^ Straight snagged from Nah Right
Apparently, Lupe is now actively particpating on Twitter & making all kinds of pronouncements — changing his album title, all but confirming his affiliation with Japanese Cartoon, and his recording proces — you know, the general array of crap that some people seem to be interested in hearing about.

LOL, I started to be extra cynical and sing the “Dame Dash is dead, Dame Dash is dead…” mock that he once sang on a Dips mixtape. Dame ain’t dead, but for the sake of baby Jesus it’s like the man can’t catch a break. Now, reports show that he may longer be Mr. Rachel Roy.
Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear co-founder Damon Dash has been slapped with divorce papers by wife Rachel Roy, the Daily News has learned. The stunning fashion designer piled onto Dash’s already sizable stack of lawsuits when she filed for divorce from her husband of four years this month in Manhattan Supreme Court. Ed Hayes, a lawyer for Roy, declined comment, and a Dash spokeswoman did not return calls or e-mails. An electronic record of the case says the divorce is for “nonmonetary relief” and should be resolved by February.
It’s not like she could get bread out of Dame, since that would be “trying to get blood from a turnip” as my uncle would say. Read the rest of this entry »

Preface this whole thing by saying that my memory is not the best. That’s why I went ahead & posted the The Temporary, Abbreviated Version before. Impaired by heavy intake of substances over the years along with the mass amount of info I process on a daily, my mental hard drive isn’t what it used to be so I have to frequently discard quite a bit. Therefore, I’m going to type up as much as I can remember from this past weekend’s Austin foray.
The number one rule of SXSW — If you want the sets to roll right, you better do it with white…people.
I say that with 100% love & respect. Aaron Berk, Jill & Aaron H. from the Knuckle Rumbler had everything coordinated to a tee, ushered artists along and were cordial, plus accommodating. If doff my New Era in full respect to them putting in all the work to pull this thing together & have it go off without a hitch.
The performance that most slept-on — Mickey Factz
I didn’t feel bad for Mickey. I felt bad for those who weren’t familiar with his music & his music seemingly went past them. Mickey wasn’t deterred & proceeded to work up a sweat while throwing himself into an amplified set. The height of his show was when he tore threw “Automatic” & “Hollywood.”
The performance that still leaves me on the fence about an artist — Charles Hamilton
Don’t get it twisted. Sonic laid it down, specifically “Loser” and “Brooklyn Girls.” But @ the same time, there were some awkward attempts @ interacting with the crowd that showed that his stage performance still needs some mastering. I’ll give son his credit due because after his performance, I caught him on the corner freestyling Mister F.A.B & a crowd of random folks.
The “MC means ‘Move the Crowd’” performers — Buff1 & Black Spade
Let’s face it: Buff1 is not a household name by any means. We all know it’s hard Read the rest of this entry »

Zoo’s put up warning signs to patrons about not feeding animals to protect both them and the animals they view. On one end it protects them from the animals acting on their primal tendencies and keeps the zoo somewhat in control of the animals through the feeding schedule. Gorilla Zoe, a rapper indigenous to Atlanta, plays on this concept on his sophomore album Don’t Feed Da Animals. Seeking to portray himself as a vicious rhyme animal, he comes off sounding lethargic as he can’t decide whether to keep catering to the streets or expand his artistic scope past self absorbing topics.

As he prepares to release his collaborative effort, Boy Meets World, with Exile, Fashawn is releasing a steady, but not overflowing amount of material to gain attention. On this track for DJ Booth’s Freestyle series, the young upstart goes in over the instrumental by Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra.

Words By Jason Hortillas
While most sports fans have their attention focused on March Madness, there’s another tournament going on as we speak. It’s called the WBC (World Baseball Classic).
Heard of it? I’m pretty sure I’m one of the few who has actually kept up with it.
Started in 2006, baseball people decided to do their own version of the World Cup but with only a few teams and as much hype as the new Pepsi can design. Now with the 2008 WBC is wrapping up with Korea vs. Japan in the final, here are a few things I learned about this display of glorified spring training.
5. USA jerseys look like arse — Team USA uniforms are ass. All I need is the American flag Hammer pants from Napoleon Dynamite. If the jerseys are proper, people will rock ‘em (See: Dream Team 1992). And that’s a walking advertisement for the practically new tournament. Good merchandise assists your own marketing, idiots.
4. WBC games don’t matter? If a player from your favorite team gets injured in the WBC it may ruin your season. See ’08 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia. Read the rest of this entry »
