Typically, a mixtape receives loads of preliminary buzz before its release and then it drifts into the ethers to be forgotten and lost on hard drives, never discussed again. But what Dwayne Carter did on No Ceilings deserves a slight bit of recognition.
Pretty nifty of a news station to try to be up on things and include their Twitter feed on to their billboard right? Yeah right, it sounds good until somebody screws the pooch. Read the rest of this entry »
For someone who’s supposed to be confined with the limitations of being an “Internet rapper,” The Kid Daytona has marketed himself and Come Fly With Me with ambitious flavor that really shines through his artform. In his latest visual from said album, you can catch him doing a little bit acting as well hitting the stage with Kardi while trying to impress some dimepiece. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been lightweight waitin’ on a CDQ of this joint. The picture? *Kanye shrug* I just think that Rihanna would fit right in with the Brick Squad goons, jumpin’ all around the video. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m not sure who’s worse, these people or theiradoring legion of fans. Deep down, I hope this is all a masterful trickery pulled off by Photoshop and I’ve been fooled into thinking it’s real, when it really isn’t. Read the rest of this entry »
The first El Clásico of the season has come to pass, and the evenness of the affair shouldn’t have been too surprising. After all, Madrid’s lack of chemistry, due to their Pollock approach to team construction, continued to plague them. And Barca, as first exposed by Russian outfit Rubin Kazan in the Champions League, simply won’t replicate their scintillating form from last season.
But yesterday’s match was noteworthy for being Cristiano’s first starring turn. He should’ve scored, but perhaps a game-changing contribution was too much to ask following a lengthy injury spell, even for the reigning World Player of the Year. That Madrid even made it a match, in Barcelona no less, is promising to them just a fortnight removed from disastrous defeat to Segunda B side Alcorcón, as well as last season’s embarrassing 2-6 loss against the blaugrana.
Another debutant made the difference, though. It was a beautiful first-touch volley from Ibrahimovic, shortly after being subbed in for Thierry Henry, that provided the win in the storied rivalry that goes some way towards justifying his hefty pricetag. His presence, though, means the the absence of the likes of Robinho and Javier Mascherano due to insufficient funds. And a lack of reinforcements could mean a reverse scoreline come April when the blaugrana have to travel to Madrid.
Messi was conspicuously ineffective, despite this being his year as the favorite to claim Ronaldo’s crown. In truth, he’s been struggling ever since the final whistle of last season’s Champions League triumph. The weight of Argentina’s national team struggles has somewhat unfairly fallen upon him and not Maradona for his general lack of actual tactics.
If it’s anyone’s year, just look over in West London and pick out any of the boys in blue. Drogba. Terry. Essien. Chelsea are once again the machine they were in 2005 and 2006. They dispatched Arsenal at Ashburton with ease, and the return of Joe Cole may render the loss of their African contingent in January for the Africa Cup of Nations not too significant.
The aforementioned trio, in particular, are also enjoying seasons to savor with their national teams. Ivory Coast, England, and Ghana are all streaking as they head into the World Cup. The world’s elite have on eye on the wide-open summer showpiece and June’s looming quickly.
“Audio dope & we can make crack like this/It’s practice… we talkin’ bout practice/For what?!?/I can do it in my sleep homeboy/I ain’t been out my bed since ’93…”
Considering the stoner lifestyle Spitta leads it’d be highly unrealistic for him to set off on a month-long, new-song-per-day odyssey. Regardless of that fact, he’s been on a nice tear the pastcoupleofweeks dropping off verses like he’s on fire. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, this is quite a pickle Tiger is in. Courageous wife/woman scorned. A mistress. Not speaking to the police yet (or ever, considering that his agent said Tiger has “nothing more to add.” Charges pending. The release of the 911 call made by a neighbor (no Christmas card for you, buddy). Reading the statement Tiger released via his site, TigerWoods.com, sounds like he’s already apologizing to his wife for getting caught with his pants down. Read the rest of this entry »
Two weeks ago, I got an email, asking me why we had so many “too many who the hell is that posts.” in our content the past few weeks. There’s an answer to that. One, going to seven sites and seeing the same seven alternating songs & artists is a bore. Two, there’s much more going on out there and we’ve got access to it thanks to Al Gore’s internuts. As evidence, check David Dallas’ remix to “Front To Back,” featuring my brother Buff1. Same boisterous and beautiful track as the OG, but featuring new rhymes from both artists. Which leads me to point three, we lead, they follow. And when they catch up, we’re already on to the next thing. No shots, just a strong opinion.
S’all good though. “Who the hell” artists soon become bigger names and even if they don’t, the music’s good all the same. And that’s what justifies their placement here.

The remix will be the bonus track on Dave’s next single “I Get The Feelin” and appears on Buff’s upcoming album It’s A 1derful Life, dropping for the free on Wednesday. Grab it then…or wait til somebody else tells you about it.
Look, not every NFL week can be a winner. Luckily most of us were still comatose from a 20,000 calorie weekend, so we didn’t notice that the week 12 slate was full of dud matchups between mediocre squadrons. Still football is football and a full slate of games will produce moments.
The mediocrity started on the grand day itself, as America continued to punish themselves and Detroit’s fine citizens by putting the Lions on national TV. Plus as an added bonus this year we got the Raiders. In fact the most exciting thing to happen in the three Turkey day games was Josh McDaniels inspiring profanity, captured for millions of fans as Roger Goodell spilled his pumpkin pie. Who doesn’t love a little awkward announcing?
The Eagles and Falcons spared themselves similar profanities by barely keeping their playoff hopes alive. Against JV squads Washington and Tampa respectively, the favored fowl franchises foully fucked with their fandom before finally pulling out fourth quarter wins. Roddy White was the hero for ATL pulling down the game winning TD pass from backup QB Chris Redman with less than 30 seconds left. Read the rest of this entry »
“With every line written, and all I have given
Music’s been nothing more than a self-made prison
I’ve taken inmate loses at the hands of this one
My pen’s the poison to family and friendships
Now it’s time to mend shit
Time to bring closure to
The clear conscience of Pusha is long overdue Read the rest of this entry »
