When I’m at a party and there’s a wack DJ, I have to find other ways to entertain myself. One way I salvage the night is by spending a few hours laughing at people awkwardly embarrass themselves on many a dance floor across the country.

Now I’m not Chris Brown in the club and I’m not judging those that lack an ability to hold a beat. I am, though, going to give a few pointers on how not to be that guy or girl that we all crack jokes about over a plate of gourmet Waffle House.

Do Not Booty Dance During A Line Dance — Ok, I know her rump feels wonderful, homie. And I know you feel sexy getting your “grind” on, lady. But when the “Cha Cha Slide” comes on, take a break. There’s nothing worse than trying to sliiiide to the left and having to dodge the uncoordinated horny couple in the middle of the dance floor trying to get their jollies. Part ways for a few minutes, Charlie Brown, and get back to your rubbin’ and shakin’ when it’s over.

Don’t Get Caught Doing The Salsa — I swear I don’t know how this happens. Read the rest of this entry »

The snippet was originally featured on the Mick Boogie presented From Here To There: An Album Prequel, and this is the full version slated to appear on Outasight’s new album From Here To Eternity. Read the rest of this entry »

2007’s The Undisputed Truth went a long way to putting not only Brother Ali, but Rhymesayers Entertainment and even Minnesota Hip-Hop (it does exist) on the map. The album delivered heartfelt vocals over funky, soul-drenched production, that was as reliant on live instrumentation as it was its samples. Read the rest of this entry »

The good sir DJ Concept slid his latest mix into the inbox, a compilation of songs from recent days that should help you Loosies-lazies since it’s put together & ready for you to rock with. New shit from Marco & Torae, Step Brothers, Blu, Eminem & more. Tracklisting & link after the break. Read the rest of this entry »

On my word, Mase was a blessing and curse for his Harlem World experiment.

One side of the argument says he gave them the necessary star-power to even be noticed in a crowded rap world. But the stronger argument says, the Bad Boy affiliation handicapped them. Too much Read the rest of this entry »

Artist inspired gear is far from a foreign concept since Run-DMC worked the Adidas collabo . At the same time, rappers are no longer aspiring to be the next Rocawear since discovering that the profit margin isn’t large enough nowadays to make it worth it. As a result, designers get to do their job and great collaborations like Read the rest of this entry »

Still giving competition the x’s and o’s off the strength of A Love Supreme, here’s a visual that even if you hate it, they still give you the thumbs up.

Here’s a sneak peak of the familiar Kool & The Gang tune being reworked by DJ Spinna for Highwater Music, the label started by Squeeze Radio’s Sucio Smash. This is a promo clip for Spinna’s production album Sonic Smash & it includes artists such as Fresh Daily, P.Casso and more. Look for the quick cameo of another producer – Ski Beats. I love these behind the scenes moments just in the lab, giving us a view of the buggin out and vibing while the music is made.

Sonic Smash drops on 6.30.09 and includes some notable features from Phonte, Elzhi, Homeboy Sandman along with other High Water artists and more.

I don’t know much about South Park since I stopped watching cartoons long ago when I discovered porn. So, I asked my most trusted adviser for a brief translation.

Anyway, heard about it. Eh. South Park doesn’t like Family Guy. Kanye is said to be in the new Family Guy spinoff about Cleveland and his family. Tie that up with Kanye’s “weird” antics and there you have it.

The video below is the longer version. Watch it before the networks pull it or Kanye blogs himself into a tizzy. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember when “My Name Is” came out and the Hip-Hop world was shaken to the core by an actual White rapper displaying lyrical ferocity like “Hi kids, do you like violence?/Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids?” Remember how the hood was blasting that track on every corner?

Or when “The Real Slim Shady” was getting heavy rotation in every club? Or how “Without Me” showed the mature, seasoned Eminem that we had all been waiting for?

Oh, this doesn’t ring a bell? That’s because those things never happened, McFly. For over a decade (with a slight hiatus), Eminem has stuck to a formula: drop an obnoxiously silly but catchy first single that’s guaranteed MTV airtime. I’ll venture to say that none of these aforementioned singles gets played when you listen to any of Em’s first three albums. Those songs aren’t for us. They aren’t made with the Hip-Hop purist in mind.

It’s pretty hard to argue against the fact that “We Made You” is an all-you-can-eat buffet of suck, Read the rest of this entry »

I’ll never understand how this nymph manages to pull it off, but he does.

Vanity. Apollonia. Sheila E. Taja Sevelle. Wendy & Lisa…both probably. Rosie Gaines old wild, unkempt looking self too.

If he works/worked anywhere in the vicinity of an exotic beauty, I just naturally assume he poked’em.

His new target: Salma Hayek

On the new song “Valentina,” named after Hayek’s daughter, The Male/Female Signed One spits game…if you can call it “game” with this waif. I think he’s the male version of Badu & he puts spells on slores. Read the rest of this entry »

Skillz scored a nice lil’ vid on this one, where he sits down with Bink! and DJ Rick Geez and they confess on something on Hip-Hop. It’s a good laugh from the moment Skillz’s intro (which is real talk in it’s own right) until it ends. Read the rest of this entry »
