Duck Down hasn’t pulled any punches. According to their press release, label CEO Dru Ha has signed Random Axe to join the team.
If you were like me and said who the “eff” is Random Axe just look at the members:
Sean Price, Black Milk & Guilty Simpson. Read the rest of this entry »
When it comes to marketing, adidas will never allow themselves to fall too far behind Nike. The proof can be found in these two particular commercials: Dwight Howard’s “The Mechanics of a Commander” and, after the break, Derrick Rose “The Inner Workings of a Creator,” (including on-point illustrations of homie’s eyebrows & ‘stache LOL). They’ve even got a Hip-Hop edge by using former Jurassic 5 member Charlie 2na in on the mix, getting his James Earl Jones on.
Hit the break for Superman’s ad. Read the rest of this entry »
With soul bearing revelations like “Mockingbird” and “Like Toy Soldiers,” 2004′s Encore marked a personal triumph for the psyche of Marshall Mathers, yet the bulk of the album’s frivolous material resulted in the common recognition as being Eminem’s most forgettable work to date. To make matters worse, his health spiraled downward after the tragic shooting of D12 member and best friend DeShaun “Proof” Holton and chronically abusing pain medications. After a nearly-five year hiatus which seemed like an eternity to most fans, Slim Shady steps back on his high horse to break the circle of uncertainly with the thoroughly entertaining Relapse.
Not your typical Relapse however, with the title being a subliminal reckoning for the subconscious of Slim Shady to run amuck — who all but dominates the course of the project. Read the rest of this entry »
Helloooooo, Summer music. This is apparently coming off of a forthcoming LP called Danny Johnson, as in Danny Brown and Johnson & Jonson.
A whole album of Blu and Danny Brown?!? Fuckouttahere… Read the rest of this entry »
And that you really don’t want to have sex with her. Well, you do but you don’t know exactly what to say or how to initiate it.
And when she asks for proof that you’re different, whip it out. By “it,” we mean your Transformer flash drive.
And you may not be that much different because even the pre-orders for these are currently sold out.

When Brand Nubian were going through their rough patch, Sadat X’s Wild Cowboys allowed the man to prove he was valuable to the game without fellow group members Grand Puba and Lord Jamar. Brand Nubian soon returned with Foundation which was mostly viewed as a disappointment and things have not been good ever since, especially during that time he had to spend at Riker’s Island for gun charges. Out of jail for just under 2 years, Sadat X hits us with his not-so-much anticipated album Brand New Bein’, a similar sound to previous work, which coincides with being the album’s ultimate downfall.

Coincidentally, I was just gazing @ the AM1 Maxim Flywires last weekend when news breaks that these will be dropping as a Quickstrike next month. I would hit you with the praying dog but you already know these have to come stateside. For now, Overkill will have them & that’s all the world knows.

On Sunday night in Michigan, Mayer Hawthorne a.k.a. Haircut rocked a set for a packed house of folks with smiles on their faces. Hip-Hop ass dudes cheesing. Dusty-ass backpackers grinning ear to ear. Take-myself-so-seriously B-boys and B-girls doing the Twist. Moms, dads, grandmas, young and old, happy as hell. The Mayer himself wore an outfit that spoke to his reach, with a to-the-nines herringbone suit capped off with Crayola-tone Adidas.
And there I was, front and center, doing the Mashed Potato like my life depended on it. Like it was 1967. Like it was Hitsville, U.S.A. all over again. And all I could think of was Lamont Dozier. Read the rest of this entry »
The Nuggets have been on a roll so far. They’re 8-2 in the playoffs and team chemistry is at an all time high. Chauncey and Carmelo have led this healthy squad to this point, but let’s not forget the defensive contributions of Denver’s frontcourt in Kenyon Martin, Birdman and Nené. The team is tougher, more focused and just flat out better than last year’s squad. It wouldn’t be farfetched to say this is the best roster the franchise has ever seen.
All of this is fine and dandy, but is it enough to beat L.A.? Read the rest of this entry »
