“Lock my body, can’t trap my mind…”

For Rassy, I think the Shawn Carter line suits him well. His flow hasn’t shown signs of regression, even with his repeat trips thru the revolving iron doors. Read the rest of this entry »

This is one of those tracks that I had to catch up to the beat before I could enjoy the rhythm of the L.A. trio’s rhymes. And it’s the synergy of their flow meshed with the beat that makes this self-titled track feel like an adventure. Read the rest of this entry »

You’ve heard about the off-the-record comment but have you heard the off-the-record comment? You have now. And this goes against all the codes of journalistic integrity thanks to Terry Moran’s Twitter, but hey, even Kanye himself can’t be mad at the snub. In all honesty, he can name his next album Jackass and get the amount of publicity as he is now.

Here’s the statement ABC conjured up in regards to the matter:

In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.

Congrats to Yeezy. You will forever be the Democratic mascot stamped with the official Presidential seal.

From Youtube & Vimeo to gettin’ play on MTV Jams, I guess it’s safe to say that Pill is on the brink of having “arrived.” Back by a video shot in the city’s 4th Ward by Zach Wolfe, Pill’s “Glass” brings more of the stark realism & vision that makes me say he’s one of the more promising young emcees in the game right now.

We should have all seen an album of this nature coming from Ghostface. While Brother Starks has had his feet planted firmly in the Shaolin slums with legendary street tales, his catalogue has always featured a smattering of songs displaying the triumphs and tragedies of attempts to conquer the fairer sex. From the unrepenting “Wildflower” to becoming mesmerized by the likes of “Beauty Jackson,” Ghostface has been known for stacking his escapades with honesty and sharp detail. Going all in for the gusto, Mr. Coles’ latest endeavor, Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City, is a smorgasbord of R&B flavored tunes with that special Ghost twist.

I first heard of LeBron James upon returning home from my freshman year of college. My uncles raved about this freshman from Akron that they’d seen playing in the state playoffs & that he was going to be a problem. I shrugged it off, every year I’d hear of somebody that was the “next” one, only to see their aspirations derailed in one way or another. Read the rest of this entry »

It looks like someone @ Louis Vuitton may have gotten caught with their hand in the cookie jar, as New Balance is suing the designer brand for trademark infringement.

Boston’s New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc. is suing LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, accusing the luxury goods company of copying its best-selling casual sneaker. New Balance claims Louis Vuitton’s Minstrel shoe is virtually identical to its 574 sneaker introduced in the mid-1990s.

LV needed a nice lawsuit for this fuckery anyways because…

1. LV’s sneaker retails for $590, while you can score a pair of 574′s for less than $60 @ Shoe Carnival, as its one NB’s lower-priced but best selling models (20 million-plus pairs sold since 2002). I’ve owned a couple of pairs of LV’s and the leather is always beautiful. Yet there’s no way I’d pay that exorbitant amount for anything less than the finest Italian cow ass.

Fresh update & part of your Tuesday music via J. Period’s site.

Jay Leno gave Kanye a chance to apologize once again after coming down from his liquid courage outburst last night.  Regardless of whether it was staged or not, Leno scored a coup with this happening before the debut of his new show.  My only advice for Kanye is he better put some new music to make people to forget about all this.

Nothing monumental with this performance, but I believe Rihanna’s vocals prove what I was saying… huh CJ?
