I’ll admit, at first I was turned off by this one.

“Soldier” has been done so many times — and really well too — so when I saw Screwed Up Click member E.S.G. was doing a version with Chamillionaire wailing out the hook for the first single of his new self-titled Everyday Street Gangsta album from Koch, well, the word skeptical came to mind. But, like most things in life, I gave it the benefit of the doubt and downloaded anyways.

Surprisingly, on this occasion, my good grace actually panned out. Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes to an aspiring MC’s career, a solid rap name is just important their actual talent. Coming up with that proper moniker, however, isn’t always so easy. In a world were reinforcement rules, the descriptive variability can be taken so many ways. Dumbed down or desperately deep. Dickies or leotard Levis. Big or Lil.’ Kid or Man. Hot or cold. Government or given. There are so many choices, but technically, it doesn’t really even matter. It’s not about what it says or means, as much it’s about how well it can be pushed to the people.

I’m a small-town boy. In Jackson, MS we pretty much have a concert: Jubilee Jam. It’s once a year and that’s it. For some reason, we never quite became a go-to spot for big time concerts.

But Chicago, fam? Gawlee. There’s a new show like every two days. Read the rest of this entry »

After a week’s worth of rain, I realize that I’m making my statement on these too late. Actually, I’m making my statement after GQ already gave the boots their blessings. Nevertheless, duck boots will be an item added to my fall/winter rotation as a snappy alternative to Timbs & Wallys. Read the rest of this entry »

Now, I’m far from being another Anna Wintour (I still rock the occasional jersey-fitted combo), but lawd, I call it as I see it: Lady Gaga stays dressin’ like she’s been hanging out with Wu-Tang and then starts doodling her next outfit. At the VMAs, she took it to another level, and if it weren’t for Kanye, all the chatter would’ve been about Gaga. And homegirl is pretty consistent with the ridiculousness, if you look below:

VMAs 2009

I understand Gaga might not be the prettiest bee, but is she really that insecure that she needs a wreath and I’m-not-gonna-try-and-guess-what-the-fuck-that-red-thing-is to cover up? Read the rest of this entry »

Get a load of this sociological nightmare, courtesy of Fox News.

Michigan police say a 35-year-old mother, Aimee Louise Sword, used the Internet to track down the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago, seducing and raping the teenage boy when she found him after an online search.

So…uh, yeah. Read the rest of this entry »

I was originally going to lead with the actual video, but I wanted to share that picture. In that picture is a lot of money, power & influence. Take a minute & scratch & sniff that joint; I bet your screen smells like money. Read the rest of this entry »

…and probably paid decent money for those seats. You can tell he’s a serious fan because he’s got his cap turned backwards & the matching Phillies shirt. He doesn’t care that you think he’s a putz. He’s a Phillies fan and this team is a part of his life. It means so much to him, he even paid to bring his pride & joy, daddy’s little girl, to the game with him so that she would one day too grow to be a diehard Philly fan. And catching the foul ball? It made his life worth living. Like any loving father, he shares the moment with his child, allowing her to hold the ball.
