Even though it ranks up there with things I loathe now, I actually was a huge fan of baseball as a kid. Before MJ & Sir Charles, Dale Murphy, Bob Horner & Ozzie Smith were my absolute sports heroes. Or I could’ve been drawn to following the sport just to get packs of baseball cards with the stick of gum inside. Either way, I do remember playing Little League quite well and recall that doing a “Pete Rose slide” was one of the best ways to show how tenacious you were. Read the rest of this entry »

When news surfaced that Ben Roethlisberger’s lapse in judgment had became a recurring theme, NFL fans have been waiting to see how Roger Goodell would handle it, especially after Big Ben was able to avoid criminal charges for the second time.  Ever since the new Commish took over, he’s had no problem doling out suspensions in an effort to keep the leagues image intact.  So much that he usually didn’t wait for matters to be settled in the court of law before stepping in to add his two cents.  Nope, good ‘ol Rog looks to Jay’s Vol. 3 for his brand of justice — “Guilty Until Proven Innocent.”  He’d rather lessen or rescind the punishment than look like he was putting the leagues profit margin over morality.

If you’ve got a Twitter account and befriend all the talk-happy rappers that update regularly, you can pretty much become a blogger based off the amount of songs leaked via the social networking site alone. But, since most of us can’t consistently confine our lives to 160 characters, we figured many of you missed @Wale’s holiday gift delivery, which was in the form of two, new, neatly-wrapped bangers.

I never claimed to be a mathematician or excellent in statistics. Yet, I’d say the probability of the New Orleans Saints repeating as NFL champions just went down the commode with today’s announcement that Drew Brees will be on the cover of Madden 2011. The news isn’t 100% just yet as voting is still going on, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter all but confirmed it, leaking the news via Twitter. Read the rest of this entry »

As a person who appreciates kicks & electronic items as much as the next man, I’ve stood in my fair share of lines over the years.  One thing I learned is that things can get pretty cutthroat when demand trumps supply.  And you know if you had to be on the lookout after copping a pair of J’s, that you better be on your toes when the iPad is in your possession.  One should be especially careful if he or she lives in Denver because it apparently goes down at the Cherry Creek Mall, where one fine local citizen got straight jacked for his iPad in broad daylight last week: Read the rest of this entry »

While there’s nothing particularly strange about the foursome known as Hollyweerd, they’ve had the toughest time catching on. In part, their sound and style is familiar yet hard to place. While there’s definite inflections of the A found throughout, they still manage to always find ways to put a particular spin on songs, whether it be live instrumentation, changing cadences and the like. If that sounds negative, it’s not because they always manage to add measurable doses of soul and spirit that are missing in today’s musical landscape. “Supa Eazy” is the leading leak off their upcoming Edible Phat 2.0 mixtape and it’s more of the same, sounding as country as ever but with refreshing nuances that keep it them ahead of the pack and should be make them standouts amongst the mundane.

You may hear Bobby Creekwater but you should probably listen to him as well. And when you have the skills to churn out an single, EP or sturdy verse at well, there’s no telling what B.C. train you could catch. Cracking open his briefcase for like the umpteenth this year, look out for Not Not But Right Now on May 11, 2010. Read the rest of this entry »

In the beginning, there are dreams, fantasies and wishful thinking. The dream of entering the Hip-Hop game with your closest friends seemed all too alluring for many to pass up the smallest of opportunity. There’s the fantasy of being able to strike it rich without having to compromise morals, artistic credibility or allegiance to one another as well. For all, that type of wishful thinking only pans out to reality in the movies. Nothing is as it seems, and people, well, they change for better or worse. But best believe, they do change.

Thought it was the Kush & OJ that had Wiz sitting there like he was auditioning for the remake of Weekend At Bernie’s last go around didn’t ya?  As evidenced from these outtakes of their date with Rya, he was the victim of the editing room.  Spitta still steals the show, but Wiz puts up a better showing here.

And ladies, do not approach these two with some fusions covering up your toes.  Even in their worst haze induced stupor, it will be over before it even started.  Or maybe not, what rings true today could be forgotten by this evening. Read the rest of this entry »

“See our success is like Tracy Morgan to ‘em — never funny/and hellafied obnoxious…”

This is awe-inspiring. Rosa & famed L.A. photographer Estevan Oriol in a photoshoot for booby-based brand TITS. Man do I love TITS, the brand…but I like the female organs too. I’m taking a wild guess and saying that there will be a shirt produced from this union. If not, I’m okay with just the video. Read the rest of this entry »

“This is our Stanley Cup for Harlem.”

Such bold statements being made. But winning affords you that luxury and Capo and co. did take the chip in last year’s Band Of Ballers game. And yes, that is God Shammgod, former Providence notable and a fellow Harlemite who’ll be hooping with The Jones Family again. Watch & listen below as the twosome display that usual uptown swag and throwing a little competitive shade @ fellow competitors Jermaine Dupri (“What is he, like 5’2″? What is he gone do?”) and OJ Da Juiceman (“Does he look like he’s athletically inclined even a lil bit?”). Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe that guy that left his iPhone at the bar was in a rush. Maybe he was heading to the nearest whorehouse escort service that he found using The Gentleman’s Navigator.

A group of geniuses came up with this app that lets you find strip clubs and escorts with a quick city earch (domestic and abroad for you international blowjingle connoisseurs). They offer addresses, numbers, and ratings for the strip clubs and e-mail for the escorts so you can order your rub n’ tug without them hearing your voice. Of course, Apple got rid of their nude apps so there’s no telling how long this will be available, so hurry! Read the rest of this entry »

Sugar Tongue Slim is going to do big things in the rap game. His flow navigates around the drums as a mouse does in a maze searching for cheese. Sporadically, yet confined; focused, yet adventitious. His high toned vocal inflection is unique enough to separate himself from the pack, but conventional enough to draw interest from a wide audience. The kid from the A has a bright future ahead of him, and judging by the pioneer KRS-One’s reaction in the video below, he won’t be regionally bound. Read the rest of this entry »
