While the exact jurisdisction hasn’t been established yet, just know Lady Gaga is the Queen of something. At this point, she’s above just releasing a quick flipcam video with concert footage spliced in between clips of her eating Doritos. It has to be big. (Her words, definitely not mine.)

It’s pretty obvious these two only collaborated because their mothers had affections for double L’s, but the summer needs heat and there’s definitely some friction being discharged from this bomb. Given the song’s subject matter, we all can assume a zesty video full of swimsuit models is the works next. Read the rest of this entry »

Our good friend of ours Zo is back with another nicely compiled collection. For this aural trip, he’s chosen the music of Sa-Ra, which happens to be a favorite group of both of his and mine.

“By now, Sa-Ra Creative Partners – the genre-bending producing and performing trio – has either captivated or confused the entire gamut of music heads and tastemakers alike. This podcast series (a scheduled trilogy) consists of interviews, album cuts, overlooked gems, rarities, exclusives and remixes to please current fans and entrance newcomers. Even greater, it can perhaps serve as a medium for folks who have been seeking a way to delve into the complex world of SRCP. Episode I: Voyage to Venus mostly boasts spacey funk and smooth dusty soul, showcasing the softer, amorous side of Sa-Ra’s catalog.” Read the rest of this entry »

Truthfully: Mickey Factz still has the Bruce Leroy glow. He just got caught up in all the vanity Planet #Alpha had to offer and got sucked up into the 7th heaven. No matter, the Legend of the Supra shall rise from the ashes to deliver The Acheivement, his first retail LP and destroy all the haters and nayslayers with his gamma ray mutant powers!!!

Dark. Man. X.

The name sounds like the character of parodied rapper for a Ben Stiller movie at this point. But before there was Lil Wayne (as we know him now), Young Money Records and Auto-Tune, there was DMX, the Ruff Ryders and his growls and barks. Read the rest of this entry »

Jive Records can eat a bag of baby dongs.

We’ve waited damn near a decade for new Outkast (no, Idlewild doesn’t count) and Jive records has pretty much guaranteed that the reunion won’t be taking place on Big Boi’s forthcoming album. Big explained the whole scenario to the good folks at the Gentleman’s Quarterly. Read the rest of this entry »

Creative Control bestows us with another studio flick as Stalley and Ski Beatz perform a mock session of “Harsh Ave.” This is a grimier Stalley than I’m used to hearing as he rhymes about the streets of his hometown Massillon, Ohio. It’s cool for a click (as are most CC offerings) since Stalley isn’t a pedestrian on the mic. Additionally, Ski’s work on the boards always makes for a worthwhile listen. Speaking of Ski… Read the rest of this entry »

More of life’s nuances come into focus with each passing year. For example, remember when you found out why the older kids chuckled whenever 69 appeared in the stat-line? Or the epiphany you had upon realizing the original Atlanta Hawks logo actually was a hawk, and not some weird, jagged Pac-Man? “Creamofsomeyoungguy,” anyone?

Well, after 10 years of passing on The Bloodhound Gang’s “The Bad Touch” because of the song’s ultra-popularity (along with my own ignorance and blurred associations with Slim Shady), this whirlwind of wit finally figured in my head and has subsequently made it’s way into regular rotation. Driving home dirty thoughts via blunt metaphors and a killer kick/snare combo, this celebrated single from the Pennsylvanian posse’s Hooray For Boobies album is finally an obvious piece of satire for myself, five years away from 30. Now that I’ve gotten some experience under my belt (in more ways than one,) it’s the perfect time to rediscover all the uncensored and relentless one-liners littered throughout this dance-ready comedy routine, because I can understand first-hand the well-thought-out and trivial thumps for a matured funny bone and also appreciate how it still stays vague enough to remain radio-friendly and allude juveniles.

I’m sorry this had to be my first Lil B post. I’m sorry we couldn’t be instrumental in explaining to the nonbelievers why the Basedgod is the Leo Tolstoy of his generation, this time around. I’m also sorry Mr. B. here, hasn’t fully grasped the concept of a “rapper entourage” just yet. Read the rest of this entry »

There are a bunch of rappers that need to read the “Mixtape Was Better” slogan emblazoned on those Academy tees we posted a while back. Eminem, though, needs a “Freestyle Was Better” tee to remind him to transition some of these crazy-arsed bars onto his albums. If Recovery has anything like these snappy excerpts from the Time Westwood show and the BET awards last year, then we’re in for greatness. Read the rest of this entry »

Throughout all the beefs, tattoos, tattoo cover ups, apologies and broken (and mended) relationships, Game has managed to keep his head above water to release three albums and soon a fourth. Well, eventually a fourth. The R.E.D. Album still hasn’t found a sturdy release date Read the rest of this entry »

During Houston’s glorious run back in 2005 no one appeared geared for more sustained success than Slim Thug. With a debut full of bangers & high profile features, there wasn’t a doubt in anyone’s mind Slim wasn’t Already Platinum (despite what Soundcan said.) Knocking the softballs that TC’s favorite renaissance woman lobbed his way, Slim Thugga could do no wrong during this time period.
