“I knew this girl who looked just like you…”

The Hon. Bro. O’Shea’s audio sex romp was the only song I could hear in my head for almost three hours yesterday morning. Funny thing is I remember when we used to try to memorize Flav’s verse as well. Read the rest of this entry »

I have no clue who Oba Rowland is, but he could have sounded like Eli Porter reading a phone book in pig latin and I’d still listen to this song thanks to the ridiculous verses from Cory Gunz and Chip Tha Ripper. Read the rest of this entry »

Nike Sportswear’s work to help fight AIDS and educate the masses has been ongoing. With soccer fever in full swing, they’ve teamed with The FADER to form the “Pitch Perfect” series in South Africa, focusing their efforts on one of the most afflicted areas of the globe. As circumstances would have it, I already have the RED Laces in my Nike.com shopping cart so I figure it’s divine intervention that this opportunity fell in our lap. Read the rest of this entry »

Smoke DZA, only six and a half months into the year, wins the award for best album/mixtape title with George Kush The Button. Maybe I’m tripping, but that is hilarious on so many levels. It only helps when good music resonates from the confines. Fresh off their performance at Brooklyn Bowl earlier this week, DZA and the man I pray Def Jam doesn’t drop the ball with – Big K.R.I.T. – teamed up to liberate “The Secret.” Read the rest of this entry »

Unreleased Prince Paul from circa ’95? Sure, I’m interested. Words from Prince Paul for a description, unedited because if he’s unconcerned with it, so am I.

This was a project that I wanted to put together with Amityville MC legend Superstar Read the rest of this entry »

It’s no small feat for a publication to expose a government official on the sort of grand and salacious scale that finds that official on the losing end of a pink slip. Today, Rolling Stone — the ever-shrinking mainstream music magazine of choice — became the Washington Post of 2010 and its reporter our Woodward/Bernstein. Read the rest of this entry »

The Game may not be able to release his R.E.D. album — which is highly anticipated by himself and some of yous — anytime soon. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s being sued by the good folks who say they discovered him. Read the rest of this entry »

Singer, rapper, trumpeter, and host of the best party in Los Angeles. What more could one man be? Hilarious, friendly, smart, humble… yeah, he’s all of those things too. Even in a city chock full of talent, Aloe Blacc laps the competition with cool strides that raise the question of whether anyone is even in his race. Read the rest of this entry »

“I’m may sound bitter/Just a little bitter/Because you were with her…”

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. In this case, that woman is the sultry Marsha Ambrosius. I have no clue if this is a personal story from Marsha’s memory bank, but the vibe would lead you to think so. Read the rest of this entry »

You know how us Yanks are. We’re suckers for a pretty face/smile combo and an English accent. Roc Nation’s new beauty, Rita Ora sports all pretty well as her Roc Nation x Skullcandy Aviator headphones as a way to get her name a buzzin’. Read the rest of this entry »

Acapulco Gold’s releases their Summer ’10 lookbook and among the choice items are these New Eras with the contrast logo. Tough business. Read the rest of this entry »

The formulaic way to get your record in motion is to grab a decent R&B singer with a generic radio-friendly yet suggestive hook and place them alongside a guest spot from someone with a knack for feature spots. That seems to be the approach these days, especially with rappers fighting tooth and nail for radio play. Not to say that it’s the only option, but it’s the choice Texas rhymer Chamillionaire made when he released “Make A Movie.” Read the rest of this entry »

Well, it certainly wasn’t supposed to play out like this in Group C. Slovenia leads, England looks the worst, and the U.S. could actually come out tops.

For the boys in red, white, and blue, it’s all very simple: win and they’re in. After needing a miracle to pull out the tie against England, only to have luck (and a ref with an ax to grind) work against them in the match against Slovenia Read the rest of this entry »
