05.24.09 Written by TC

The video that set the whole Internet ablaze now has a happy ending as Sonic & Knuckles kiss hug and make up.

Briana Latrise is officially an Internet superstar. Don’t be surprised if her album drops before This Perfect Life. 2DopeBoyz already has her first single.

“Looser” – Review Of Joe Young’s The Great Ape

05.24.09 Written by Patrick M.

A brief glance at the back cover of Joe Young’s The Great Ape, and you can’t help but be intrigued by the names on the tracklist. How could a relative nobody, manage to snag multiple guest appearances from big name talent, including the game’s two biggest stars: Lil’ Wayne and Kanye West?

One thing’s clear: it wasn’t Young’s musical talents that drew in the superstars. The album is a non-stop deluge of half thought out rhymes, lazy flows, and plodding beats. At worst the whole project sounds amateurish, one example being Joe’s staggeringly terrible last verse on “We Gon Be Straight.” Over a high hat and bass beat recycled off Da Last Don: The D Sides, Young strings together the clichés: “Back to reality, bills coming in/The rent ain’t paid/Money comin’ in late/But we remain great/We gon to be straight/In a minute/We in it to win it/And I will never lose/I paid my dues…” Read the rest of this entry »

“Gangsta” – Review Of Hell Rell’s Hard As Hell

05.24.09 Written by TC

Note: Pause @ The Title

Neither praise nor criticism seems to faze Hell Rell. While the Dipset founders “work out” their creative differences, he’s back in the trenches, grinding and continuing his rap career unrelentlessly. Making the most of his limited resources like Indians to buffalo, Ruger keeps the bullets flying on his 2nd release of 2009, Hard As Hell. Read the rest of this entry »

Video: The Cool Kids Want You To Buy A System

05.24.09 Written by MZ

This video came at the right time because I was trying to figure out a way to highlight their mixtape.  I popped in Gone Fishing on a drive from Chicago to Ann Arbor figuring it was a fitting choice given the groups background.  I was still on the fence about them as a group, because The Bake Sale EP showed promise, but something was missing.  I really didn’t have a problem with the old school aesthetic they used, but it still seemed like they were in the process of Read the rest of this entry »

“Black Mamba” Vs. “The Chosen One,” the puppet versions, finally square off in a game of one-on-one. And @ the rate the playoffs are going, it could be the only time we see them matched up.

Video: SNL Digital Short – “Body Fusion”

05.23.09 Written by LC Weber

Tonight Saturday Night Live will play straight digital shorts at Andy Samberg’s discretion. While the Lazy Sundays, the Dick In A Boxes and the Jizz In My Pantses will all surely make a showing (alongside an oldie but goodie about men’s synchronized swimming), the above is a sleeper and personal favorite.

“Crack Rap” – Review Of Freeway’s Philadelphia Freeway 2

05.23.09 Written by TC

Always unappreciated but never undervalued, Freeway played Roc-A-Fella’s wingman steadily for a good 7 years. With the label’s status on indefinite timeout, Free takes his ball to play with the indie’s for his third album Philadelphia Freeway 2. But unlike previous releases where vigor and tenacity complimented an awkwardly enjoyable hustle n’ flow, Freeway opts to travel the speed limit where he’s typically known to mash the gas pedal.
