Since it won’t be on the album, consider this for archival purposes only. Over a beautiful drum pattern by Ronson, Wale (pronounced “Wah-Lay”) goes beyond the usual lyrical fair to show his range, reciting a few clever verses aimed @ a living Obama and deceased Tupac. Read the rest of this entry »

As my good blogging brother eskay would say “Shots fired. Man down. I repeat, shots fired. Man down.” My support for Plies momentarily put aside, Jamie brings out the shotty spraying pellets in order to drive home a point and somebody’s left with some ‘splainin to do. Read the rest of this entry »

Mega Montana releases the first video for his third studio album, Born & Raised. Directed by Brian “Deka” Paupaw, the clip is a montage of photos displaying the life of the QB emcee.

The NBA is ready to launch another Donaghy-free season and we couldn’t be happier. TSS is kicking things off with the Western Conference and we’ll swing out East in the ensuing preview. All eyes are on Kobe and QB’s finest small forward in Ron Artest to repeat for LA. Don’t get us started on Lamar and Sasquatch Kardashian. On the other end of the spectrum Blake Griffin is due for some posters and looks to be a shoe in for Rookie of the Year. Greg Oden has another year to prove he’s not a modern day Sam Bowie and AI is looking to breathe new life in his career in Memphis of all places. Peep our ruminations on the wild west as we anticipate your disapproval in the comments. Read the rest of this entry »

Scared of the deadbeat bidders on eBay & strange individuals who troll Craigslist, The King Of Pop Art’s portrait of the King Of Pop will be going up for auction on November 10th at Christie’s auction house in New York. The piece is part of a small group of silk-screened images created by Andy Warhol is 1984. Read the rest of this entry »

Thanks to MichiganHipHop, I finally got my hands on “Shake That,” the new single from my second favorite Detroit rapper of all-time, Big Herk. I’ve seen the Got ‘Cha Back CEO rock this live about five times now down in the city and wouldn’t say it’s is best work ever, but everyone in the club always seems to love it, so I figured I’d leave judgment up to you, the people.

Guess who’s bizack? Jeff & Eric a.k.a. ItsTheReal and they’ve re-upped their hustle with the duo who know a thing or two about that as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Have we not learned from Lil’ Mama people? It’s gospel that stage crashers are frowned upon in the realm of Hip-Hop, word to 50 & Akon. Why my man with the S-Curl thought his activator would earn him stage time with Atlanta’s Brave Donnis is beyond me, but he made it backstage like he was obviously hoping for.

I remember a few months back that Crooked I was yappin’ about hate that emanated from West Coast elders towards “the New West.” Assuming it was just another rant or a hazing process, I ignored it. Well, looks like it was founded in fact. Read the rest of this entry »

Even though the Vikings lost, they proved themselves a formidable opponent for the Steelers. With the score @ 13-10, it was tit-for-tat all the way until the fourth quarter. Then, hell broke loose. A Favre fumble returned for a touchdown 77-yards by Lamarr Woodley. Boom! The ensuing kickoff returned by Percy Harvin for an 88-yard score. Zing! With three minutes left, the ball and a three point lead, it seemed peak time for Favre to work his magic. But a deflected pass lead to an interception and deflated hopes of Minnesota remaining undefeated. While his arm is still strong as ever, Brett’s legs are not. His limbs straight wilted while he was pursuing Keyaron Fox. Nevertheless, the V’s showed they could and should remain a contender this year.

– Where Brett’s last minute mishap was more understandable, Eli Manning just screwed the pooch and his team’s chance to win in the final minutes. While he’s looked sharp this year, whatever coverage he thought he read looked like it came from the Book of Old Error-Prone Eli. L taken, Cards win.

– Broncos on a bye, still undefeated. Colts still rolling as Peyton operated with his usual cold precision. The Saints rolled over the Dolphins as Drew Brees had a so-so performance. After looking a little ruffled early (he threw two picks early), he settled and got help from his friends Jeremy Shockey and Reggie Bush. This fourth quarter, double reverse, flying leap into the end zone by Bush = highlight reel. Read the rest of this entry »

Not sure what part of the game it is but now you can front like you went to the Hangover Tour, even if you didn’t. Or maybe you went but had one too many $7 beers and got too drunk/forgot to cop the shirt. Whatever. Anything for a buck baby! All money’s green, including yours. Read the rest of this entry »

Another fresh face from the A, Jarren Benton definitely descends from the ATLien tree rather than the Southern gangsta of Jeezy and T.I. His rhyme style shows deference to Atlanta’s King of Hip-Hop but the mix of violence, personal intimacy and humor shows his ear is tuned to MCs from other areas as well, particular those calling Detroit home.

The Need for Speed series had some of the best arcade racing games out in its heyday. Then the franchise fell from grace with an annual slew of uninspired street racers. EA realized that something had to give when they put out Need for Speed: Shift its latest release. So while NFS Shift is a reboot, is it enough to revive the Need for Speed name to its former glory?
