The Funny Or Die guys score another one with this “Dark Moon” sketch. With a byline like “Love is complicated when you’re an overly sensitive vampire in love,” the target of the parody is obvious. Read the rest of this entry »

Busy boys, Diplo and Switch have no time to rest. Preparing to launch a Major Lazer cartoon on Adult Swim, working on M.I.A.’s next album (“It’s like Gucci Mane meets Animal Collective.”) and now it looks like they’ve got another EP set to drop. No rest for the weary when your aim is to take over soundsystems worldwide. Read the rest of this entry »

The formal sentence was death by lyrical injection and Marco & Ruste are finally set to oversee The eXXecution with Duck Down Records approval. R. Juxx cranks up the intensity level for those anticipating the album’s March 23rd release date. Read the rest of this entry »

After an impressive run for Fall and Winter, Penfield is releasing their Spring/Summer line. Paris boutique Starcow got the drop and shared initial images. A few of these lightweight jackets and the colors used push the clock back to the 80′s. The simplicity should attract everyone from those following trends to others who actually look to wear their goods out into their environment. Read the rest of this entry »

Keeping in line with the M.O. of the EP, The one they call Scudda continues to prove he is Not Your Average Joe. Last time, he did it adjacent to a few of his esteemed colleagues while letting the car stereos tweak. Now, he’s the only one guilty for a verbal manslaughter as he invites all opposition into his personal gauntlet of raw rap over Statik Selektah’s digital fusion of boom-bap.

Seeing that Jay-Z was just announced as a top performer on Bonnaroo’s MySpace (remember that site?), I couldn’t help but wonder, who’s selling out more in this arrangement? The hippie jam band fest in cohorts with the Hip-Hop’s icon of individual capitalistic gain? Or the self-proclaimed street hustler taking to the stage about as far from the Marcy Projects as anywhere this side of the moon. Read the rest of this entry »

Much like the CD, the vinyl to Freeway & Jake One’s collaborative album The Stimulus Package features an extravagant packaging that’s surely destined to become a collector’s item down the line. There’s still time to pre-order your copy to have a chance to win one of those $100 prizes as well as get The Beat Made Me Do It and Freelapse for the five-finger discount.

On account of the engulfing amount of actually-naked women available upon a click of my mouse, I can’t say I’m too caught up by the new SI Swimsuit Edition cover.

Still, for the sake of disparagingly having to tag posts NSFW, I figured I’d share this with the hopes that those of us who simply want to stick it to The Man will blatantly flaunt and share this titillating spread of Andy Roddick’s love bunny, Brooklyn Decker, for all in the office to see. I mean, if your grandma can catch glimpses of those exposed ta-ta-liciouses while picking up her Fixodent at the local Walgreens, then making this your computer’s wallpaper should be as harmless as that unopened O’Douls I keep in the back seat of my car to continually confuse cops.

“No, officer, actually…I haven’t been drinking.”

On the heels of his SBs and a new HBO show, Kid Cudi drops another low-budget visual, this time for his solo slice from David Guetta’s debut, One Love. The up-tempo nature of this vibrant, club-ready bouncer is definitely not for everyone, but good enough to keep Cudder full steam ahead of the pack on Clear Channel. Read the rest of this entry »

“For as long as you live, pray to God you never know the feeling of having to kiss your mama goodbye in a court room while police take you away to prison. It hurts worse than any pain you can ever imagine.” Read the rest of this entry »

Since the state still owns Radric Davis‘ ass, Wale gets to keep all the pretty girls for himself as Go-Go gets a much needed national boost with the second single from Attention Deficit. Not that Gucci’s absence is a bad thing since a few models take over his camera time during his 1:20 or so. Lots of bobs, weaves and lip gloss opposed to ashy knuckles, chapped lips and “Lemonade” on the dientes. Read the rest of this entry »

In a strange turn of events, Freddie Foxxx apologized for brawling with a fan @ SOBs last week. He might have a new adversary now though. Mega Montana has never been one to back down to a challenge and here he picks up the mic to send a few lines Freddie’s way in response to the shots sent @ by Bumpy previously.

“Freddie Foxxx wanna say he made me, that’s incorrect/That’s like Morris Day wanting praise for Prince success.”

It could get hectic, but let’s hope it all stays on wax.

Still in the dark about HBO’s new original series How To Make It In America? You’re not alone.

Ever since Larry David curbed his show for the season, I’ve had no reason whatsoever to hit the Home Box Office channel up for anything other than an occasional two-second chuckle courtesy of Yes Man, so the chances of me catching an ad for Marky Mark’s Big-Apple-based Entourage rip-off are slim to nada. Apparently, it’s about enterprising entrepreneurs looking to make a splash in NY’s fashion scene and Kid Cudder plays Kanye West. No, that was a joke, but he does have a reoccurring acting roll, which might be more interesting than what sounds like The Devil Wears Sean Jean.

The first episode debuts on Valentines Day (which is this Sunday, you procrastinator!), but can be viewed in it’s entirety directly below.

On top of new television to view, Cudi and DJ Green Lantern are sharing something that actually does interest me at the moment; a very diverse soundtrack to How To Make It… that features half of my current faves. I’ll tell you what, though, I’d be a lot happier if the Chromeo and Gibbs songs were combined into the most unlikely gutter-funk-fest in history. But they’re not. So, I’ll settle for separate – but equal – instead.

I’ma be honest with you. As much as I’ve seen and respected Nipsey Hussle’s come-up over the past year, I personally can’t say I’ve found myself enthralled enough to rehash a single song from the South Central MC’s catalogue. For no real reason, either. Read the rest of this entry »
