Nas. The man. The myth. The enigma. I’ve never really known how to describe Nas properly throughout my years of listening to Hip-Hop.

In this case, it’s choice A x 2 since it’s Gibbs & Pill, Pill & Gibbs on the set of the “Womb 2 The Tomb” video shoot. Read the rest of this entry »

Don’t get me wrong, I’m as big of a LeBron fan as you’ll find, but let’s see The King do this. Better yet, how about Mike and Larry? Read the rest of this entry »

Sans the Henny bottle, Kanye makes a surprise appearance — his first since the VMAs — last night for the Common Foundation Benefit at the Hollywood Paladium.

Oh why won’t the city of Cleveland build on KiD CuDi’s momentum??? After a remarkable Billboard debut, unemployment is at 14.8%, the Browns still suck and the mayor of East Cleveland is a real life Tootsie. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember that little event we have coming up Oct. 1-3? You know the one that’s essentially a Who’s Who of Hip-Hop acts? And it’s sponsored by your favorite Crew on all the Interwebs?

I’m pretty sure this was the only way that McNabb wanted to see Vick under center in September.  But come 1 pm today, the Michael Vick era will officially begin in Philadelphia. Read the rest of this entry »

Nothing like screwing the pooch live on TV, especially during the season premiere of a show. But that’s what rookie SNL cast member Jenny Slate did, using the f-word in the middle of a skit where she was portraying a biker chick. Read the rest of this entry »

Morning wake & bake with John Mayer’s first song available off his upcoming album, “Who Says.” With the words “who says I can’t get stoned” used as a refrain, there’s a high chance that this won’t be on the radio airwaves any time soon. Read the rest of this entry »
