New Stoney Rock and it’s a soulful one. On a mainstream level, introspective songs may be lost or feigned, passed off as emo-rap. But with a ten-toes-down cat like Spade, there’s a candidness to his verses that remind us that all isn’t lost with Hip-Hop. Read the rest of this entry »

All I can say is that this is where the Lakers miss an outspoken locker room leader like Shaq.

If he were there or this were The Game, it wouldn’t be happening. One of the older athletes would pull dumb-ass Derwin (in this case, Odom) to the side, show him the error of his ways & reiterate the rules (“don’t ever call her ‘your girl.’ Refer to her as a nickname.”). But alas this isn’t a meagerly funny sitcom; it’s reality. The reality is that the Beefy-Odom nuptials look as if they’re really going to take place, as the-future-Ms. Odom confirmed it on her blog.

From back in the day when Sir Charles used to rock, roll & throw elbows in Philly comes the Air Alpha Force II making a return. These did retro a couple of years ago (I had these & the Mitas) but this time they went ahead & give Chuck his just due, slappin’ a 34 on the back heel. Read the rest of this entry »

R&B music doesn’t sound like R&B anymore. At least not what my grandmother would consider R&B. I’m all for the blending and expanding of genre boundaries, but there’s a reason terms like “purists” become sub-sections within genres. People want to hear what originally endeared them to the music in the first place.  As much as I can’t deny Mario’s “Break Up,” it’s better suited for Friday night escapades than Saturday morning house cleaning sessions.

Man was I slipping yesterday with the consistent cloudy haze my mind was in, thinking about the wonders of Cheryl. I forgot that long-living sex kitten Mya was also a part of the cast of Dancing With The Stars. Point scored for ABC because now I have dos incentives to peek @ the show.

The polar opposite directions that DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will “The Fresh Prince” Smith’s careers have gone is a perfect parallel to the state of Hip-Hop music this millennium. While the vocal half of the duo has gone on to become one of Hollywood’s elite, with money that would make even Kanye humble himself, the Philly-born producer who held down sampling duties has stayed quiet in his later years on the mainstream level, much like the majority of DJ’s and producers of yesteryear who he was peers with.

Let’s face it, superhero games have been ass save for a few titles. Most don’t do a good job of emulating the protagonist’s powers. Moreover they’re usually rushed to release alongside their film counterpart. Batman: Arkham Asylum was already on the road to success by avoiding these trappings by being based on the long running comic book franchise rather than serving as a movie tie in. Additionally, the development team sought out the comic book’s artists and writers to work on the game. It definitely went a long way as their input set the atmosphere perfectly and gave the player a great feeling of what it’s like to be Batman. Read the rest of this entry »
