Last night, I had to giggle when I read one of Jaycee’s tweets that read “now that the World Cup is over, who’s gonna keep frontin like they REALLY like soccer?” Since there’s plenty of diehards out there who still want to show their national pride, Nike has converted 255 Studio in NYC into a personalization playground for futbol fans.

Vado hung out with DJ Drama on the Shade 45 Aphilliates Show Friday night & debuted a couple songs off his Slime Flu tape. Dunny was kind enough to rip them to tide everyone over until the project drops. Read the rest of this entry »

I stay backlogged in my listening, so pardon my late pass on Kings Go Forth’s The Outsiders Are Back. When I finally got around to listening, I immediately hit LC off with a hundred apologies for not having taken heed to her earlier recommendation. Read the rest of this entry »

During the day, I stumble across many more ill pictures than one can fathom. A few, you’ll see them used here and there’s a couple I’ll post on my Tumblr. But for the most, they go tucked away on a hard drive, waiting for an opportune time to post them. Read the rest of this entry »

As the World Cup draws to a close today, we’ve seen a tournament defined by strikers: the disappearance of Rooney, Messi and Drogba. The emergence of Germany’s Thomas Müller & Miroslav Klose’s run at history. Diego Forlán’s one-man show and David Villa’s consistent excellence. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been having a few incidental flashback moments, riding around to Banks’ “Warrior,” wondering if he can still create a smash with minimal effort for H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger for More 2). The forgotten but effective Return Of The PLK was an argument there’s still hope even when G-Unit’s future remains uncertain even to Blue Hef. Read the rest of this entry »

A few weeks ago, a random appearance of an Ice Cube track brought a revitalized euphoria in many longtime fans but also shed light on the fact that since the explosion of online media, O’Shea Jackson has become less known for his musical achievements and more for his Hollywood endeavors. To many, Ice Cube ranks high on the all-time MC chart, which should go without question. But to several others, figuring out how this full-time actor, part-time rapper is truly a legendary has been a challenge, which is understandable as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Real life is all about managing reality with dreams, which is what most of us do on a daily basis anyway. Do what you have to do now, positioning yourself to do what you want to do later in life. The concept is simple. The execution, however, is what is difficult to conquer. I respect people who dedicate their lives into making their dreams spawn into the physical. It takes guts, but often times the success stories hit home more because they’re so rare. For most, it traces back to the balancing act of everyday life and “what could be.” Read the rest of this entry »
