Oh those wily Thornton brothers.

Paying no attention to my referendum when Corinne surfaced. They probably released the only video that could pry me momentarily away from The Sea.  This song is guaranteed to get at least five back-to-back spins whenever the disc goes in the car.  Gotty™ already shed light on Pusha’s verse, but that doesn’t mean Malice didn’t come correct.

Pardon me, I just crawled from under a rock to discover these two young ladies, Rin On The Rox. Apparently, they’ve made quite a name for themselves using a webcam to film themselves doing covers of popular songs. Two reasons why I probably missed them. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m always on the lookout for odd technological advancements to solve my conundrums and one of the small ones I have now is cords and chargers. TruePower’s USB-enabled power outlet looks promising. Set to sell @ only $10, it includes two USB charge ports in addition to the two standard three prong power outlet ports. Perfect for charging your cell, iPod, iPhone, PDA, MP3 player, PSP & digital camera. In other words, all the handheld electronics you have to charge @ night. Read the rest of this entry »

More f#@k with Trae Day and everybody’s celebrating. No sooner than I predicted the world would get more acquainted with Trae this year, the Houston Rocket flexes his muscle with the heavy and lightweight champions (figuratively speaking) Rick Ross and Weezy. Read the rest of this entry »

The other, other Bobby from ATL is popping the latches on his stainless steel sidekick as he prepares for another year of unrelentless grindin’. He’s the man with the imposing baritone who still has a flow nimble enough to whisk his words over tracks ever so gracefully. He’s Bobby Creekwater and he’s going Back To Briefcase II with the legendary Greg Street in 20X. Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps all these recent Jay Electronica sightings mean he’s turned over a new leaf for 2010. Even though this is essentially a snippet, it should be enough fuel for the fire to keep the kid’s name stirring for another month easy. In that time, let’s see if he and Just can get that mixtape completed and distributed to the masses.

Ras drops a bonus track to go into your Quarterly archives. “Center Of Attention” features production by Giflo and verses by fellow Left Coasters Taje and Remedy of Stupid Americans. Read the rest of this entry »

Every time I listen to this Freddie track (which has been a lot recently), I feel like I could potentially fall off the wagon. Yeah, just throw sobriety out the window while I sit back and blow a fat sack in the backseat of a boxed frame Cadillac. Read the rest of this entry »

From Biz Markie radiating Radio Shack ads to Xzibit getting attacked by ninjas on behalf of Ninja Assassin, it’s a known fact rappers will promo pretty much anything. But, did you ever think that you’d see an MC big upping a tax service company?

Welp, leave it up to Game to bring it down a notch. Read the rest of this entry »

Do they still show “TRL”? If so, this song should skyrocket to the top for sure. It’s one of those Top 40 pop confections that will probably play @ proms and graduations for the class of 2010. The video doesn’t make total sense. All I got is there’s some crooks and a game of cat & mouse. But that’s nothing that glimpses of Katy Perry can’t cure. Read the rest of this entry »

There are five reasons I’m feeling Flo Rida’s new joint, “We Came Up.”

1. Despite being one of the most played artists of the past decade, Flo Rida still gets it in with the Poe Boys. I don’t know about nationwide notoriety, but with Flo spreading the wealth, this one should get spins in Florida up and through summer. Read the rest of this entry »

While I’m not 100% on board with the hook used, the beat and Mikkey’s verses make this one a heater. Things are warming up as Uncrowned’s king has a indie album, Darkroom, and his Chicago: The Photo Album both on deck. Read the rest of this entry »

Somewhere between a lack of judgment and media sensationalism lies the Gilbert Arenas saga. Gil is currently awaiting a late March sentencing date where he could receive upwards of six months in prison. Charles, Kenny and Ernie recently spoke about the entire situation during a recent Inside The NBA telecast. Regardless whether you tend to agree with them or not, clips like this make these make it one of the premiere sports shows in rotation. Chuck reflects the sentiments that Gil’s mistake doesn’t warrant him losing the remainder of his contract (somewhere near $90M). Kenny, on the other hand, believes a suspension is the only logical explanation for his actions, while Ernie poses the $50M question, “If this violates his contract, then why can’t they rip it up?”

And somehow, someway, I find myself right in the middle. He deserves it, but he doesn’t. I’m of the belief the entire story was never truly told. That’s water under the bridge in the grand scheme of things, I assume. Regardless you made your own bed, Gil. Make it up or lay in it.

Hey Va$htie!

I played the heck out of this one between Friday and Sunday. Jaycee’s still doing Delights but, if you keep up with his site, he’s slowed down on posting tracklistings because there’s thieves in the temple. Remember sucker DJ’s, you can have the blueprint and materials. But if you don’t have the skills to pull it off it does you no good. Read the rest of this entry »
