We’ve been unapologetically ignoring the countless “Exhibit C” freestyles so just fuhgeddaboudit if you still plan on recording one. But musicianship is always honored around these parts and that’s where Rob Viktum comes in. Read the rest of this entry »
While most of the rap world is either trying to A) Keep it hood or B) go pop (so they don’t have to keep it hood, of course), way down in ATL a young man named Duece Poppi is trying to recreate a scene. Read the rest of this entry »
The moment she steps foot in your apartment, you could either strike out or hit a home run with these, depending if she prefers Animal Collective or Waka Flocka. From what they say, the iTable is made per custom order by artist Mirko Ginepro. Act now and you can be the first to have a click wheel for your coffee mug. Read the rest of this entry »
With the triumphant return of Gordon Gatrell Radio, Phonte discusses his first Grammy nod, Tiger Woods’ biggest mistake, the end of Little Brother, and Satan’s horrible taste in music. Read the rest of this entry »
Who really knows what it actually takes to get L-Boogie from underneath the rock she uses for hibernation. I just presumed every three-odd years or so, she takes a gander at her bank account and deems it unacceptable. Ever the charming opportunist, she convinces concert promoters to let her take a stab at belting notes from songs that are nearly 20 years old.
And the fans? Well, they don’t seem to mind. Read the rest of this entry »
Almost a full month into 2010 and Trunk Muzik is still on repeat. Pretty damn good taking into account today’s standards and the availability of MP3s. Browsing through Yelawolf’s catalog, one of the standout tracks is his Raekwon-assisted track, “I Wish.” This exposed the Alabama native to an entire new segment of listeners and allowed him to receive the almighty “co-sign” from one of the game’s most respected and talented names.

Prime example on why I opt to support via physical copies of albums opposed to digital media stores. The tireless efforts of the design team, photographers, etc. get largely ignored when you’re just hoarding those MP3s. And who wouldn’t want to have this Hip-Hop architecture, derived from the genius of Brent Rollins, Freeway & Jake One in their collection? Read the rest of this entry »
Sensitive thugs please proceed to the nearest exit.
Digga’s guitar loop provides the gravitas for Donny, Emilio & J-Live to wave the Mutombo finger at those who’ve lost their sight while caught in the glitz and glamour. Although its October release date has come and gone, Mr. Six Figga’s Person Of Interest still appears to be in the works. Read the rest of this entry »
Dear future wife,
On our wedding night. Or the day our firstborn is…well…born. Or after you give me my first Double Kangaroo Sloppy Pocky, I will gaze lovingly into your eyes and tell you that day is the greatest day of my life.
It will be a lie.
January 24, 2010 will probably forever be the greatest day of my life. We all know the story. Saints beat the Vikings in an exhilarating game that sent the Who Dat Nation to the Super Bowl. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s rare that I throw up a full press release but Little Brother and a new album = an exception to the usual M.O. Knew this was coming but got a release date (4.20.10) a few days ago. This morning the press release confirming the release date and additional info that’s enough to stoke anticipation from until April.
From the press release… Read the rest of this entry »
While the majority of the talk right now centers around the ASG, let’s make note of a few quick things.
1. My Orangemen served arch rival Georgetown last night. That gives me braggin’ rights over my dad until the February matchup.
2. LeBron and Dwyane (and their respective teams) dueled last night with Cavs emerging victorious, eeking out a 92-91 victory (check the full highlights). Looking ahead towards MVP consideration, please make note that LeBron and co. have defeated Kobe, Durant, and Wade in a four-day span. And to LeBron’s highlight reel, add the above clip of him giving D-Wade the business with a vicious two-handed dunk.
Assuming this is more of a viral creation than an actual video for “cudderisback,” Cudi and crew take Jason Goldwatch’s camera for a “moment in time” look @ a life of cannabis, camaraderie and comedy as the rapper’s touring entourage kills some time during a Boston stop.

Grip Plyaz is cut from a different cloth. Or perhaps it’s better to say he’s taken from the original mold, reminding me of how early 8Ball and MJG and Triple 6 music used to cause the biggest fear for club security in the South. Much life YelaWolf, there are no words to really encompass the presence Grip brings to the stage and the mic (Reference: his performance of “Fuck Dat Hipster Shit” @ A3C). All I can tell you is that when he hits the stage, he has the crowd’s full energy backing him word-for-word. But above it all is always the tall, lanky Grip, commanding the moment. It’s intimidating. It’s beautiful. And it’s Hip-Hop.
The footage above features Grip performing “Jockin’” off 808…Vol. 2 and he’s joined on stage by Joe Scudda, A. Leon Craft, Sean Falyon, 808 Blake…and a small, hype segment of Atlanta’s population in the venue helping to hold it down. Peep the Alien appearance on the drums as well.
Footage by The SP Agency. Respect the comeup.
