When legends collide, all you can say is “Yessir.” We already told you Streetlights is worth the bread but watch as Young Gotti and the Soul Survivor lay out the butter with this Flipcam footage for one of the album’s best tracks. What you know as the studio, Pete Rock calls it the lab, surrounded by thousands of records waiting to find that next great sample. Read the rest of this entry »

Typically, the thought truly is what counts. See, I still haven’t checked my messages since my belated birthday, but when I got my buddy’s week removed e-mail reminder that he had played Mack 10′s seasonly-appropriate and BBQ-slathered “Backyard Boogie” for my surprise voicemail greeting, I was pleasantly surprised for having waited.

No introduction needed for this one, as adoring fans and awaiting haters have anticipated the release of Thank Me Later since the DeGrassi graduate took music by storm a year ago. With the success of “Over” and a new leak with a new Hip-Hop A-lister every week for months, the foundation’s been laid for Drake to seize Hip-Hop’s spotlight. Read the rest of this entry »

No longer a “Future Attraction,” the updated Alpha Trunner by Jordan Brand has now hit Finishline. And if I hadn’t dumbed out on sneakers all week long, I’d probably purchase… Read the rest of this entry »

I would say how Beans looks rather clownish for continuing with these antics and how he’s running a close race with Shyne for late-’90s rapper losing credibility faster than a NY minute. But, I won’t for fear he might slap me too. Paranoid to think that Jay’s still taking shots @ you in “Light Up“? Threatening to slap Drake because he featured Jay on a track?

Love is some scary, scary sh!t, man.

You wait your entire life to meet someone who complements you in the best way possible. You find that person and Like turns to a Lust that morphs Infatuation, thus spawning Love. That love sometimes leads to marriage and – God-willing – you get to spend the rest of your life with a person you couldn’t imagine living without. Beautiful stuff. Read the rest of this entry »

The first flurry to make a blip on the radar is “My Chick’s Bad” second cousin, “I Do.” Mr. Mitchell will be unleashing The Perfect Storm this year so let it snow, the wind blow and the lightning glow.

As I was finishing pecking on the keyboard last night, the wife alerted me that two of my favorite people were about to be on TV together: Ron Artest & Chelsea Handler. Truthfully, the interview was only so-so…but I spent the majority of it marveling @ Ron Ron’s outfit Read the rest of this entry »

No topic seems to be off-limits when Black Lips’ band member Jared Swilley sat down with Waka Flocka. Mixtapes, Muppet Babies-influences and being the victim of shootings. Again, nothing. As candidly entertaining as this interview is maybe there should be more interviews between rockers and rappers. Read the rest of this entry »

With Apple selling a reported three million units in 80 days, it’s obvious the iPad lapped Amazon’s Kindle in the race to be the nation’s handheld reader of choice (2.5 million Kindles have sold…in the 31 months since introduction). But what if Amazon gave away Kindles and recouped profits through the sale of digital downloads? Read the rest of this entry »

MTV should take a lesson from ESPN. While the faux music channel airs reruns of stale teen flicks, ESPN’s 30 For 30 series continues to impress with documentaries that we actually give a damn about. Tins already expressed his appreciation of “The U,” while also suggesting new topics for future installments. What Tins didn’t suggest was this week’s latest doc, “The Two Escobars.” Read the rest of this entry »

It’s tough starting the morning with this unreleased Black Spade track because it’ll have you searching for the pillow and laying back with arms crossed behind your head. “Relax Mode” comes unreleased from the 2000 era, when Stoney Rock was part of a crew called Soul Tyde (also including other Force members Nato, Tef, Karim and others).
