This video comes off as more than just a video. It’s more like a condensed but powerful short film, courtesy of Rik Cordero’s wizardry.

“With a full cast of characters set in a fictional post-apocalyptic Europe just after WWII, Rik takes us through a bloody, violent and hopeless march toward the unknown. Ultimately it is the one character, a prisoner who’s inner fire truly burns brightly, who survives, and receives what is Read the rest of this entry »

Kool Aid and frozen pizza. Part of every stoner’s complete after-school snack. Mac Miller salutes the munchies and cotton mouth with a laid-back composition of lyrical THC, taking it back to the days when Rap City would show believable videos that you just had to see over again.

When the track kicks off, you’ll swear that you pushed play on The Infamous instead but producer ILL Tal gives his own rugged soundbed for The ILLZ to spill bloody ink all over his rap page. This will be the only track Illy releases solo from his In Between Video Seriess but a video is in the works and it is that hardbody Dirty Jerz like Naughty and Latifah used to be.

TC’s a fan of WSHH fights where two hood chicks pummel each other with bricks and one of the participants is most likely pregnant. Far far too disturbing for my tastes. I prefer laughable stuff that provides more humor than blood and gore. Like this fight, where the guys are tossing patio furniture and throwing reckless haymakers that have little chance of connecting. Read the rest of this entry »

Smoke’s back with another from his George Kush Da Button mixtape, which drops on Aug. 4th and holds quite possibly the best project title for 2010. Read the rest of this entry »

There goes my baby. No Usher. While I was recovering from one hell of a Saturday night and then later with my power being knocked out thanks to Hurricane Palin, some brand new Lauryn Hill hit the Internet over the weekend. Read the rest of this entry »

The little nizzle Dee Goodz stays penthouse pimpin’ when he’s not in the studio but after that, it’s simply business and busy-ness. Clap for him and his endeavor ConGRADulations as he walks across the stage of notable newjacks earning a degree in your respect. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday, I caught the final twenty minutes of MTV’s first Sucker Free Summit and it was actually better than I expected. A little redundant @ points yet still good to see a few of the artists and the selected tastemakers getting this type of mainstream love and attention. Read the rest of this entry »

The team on the boulevard drops their Summer ’10 Lookbook and it’s filled with graphic tees, shorts & New Eras. Plus a few shots of chicks. *Thumbs up* Read the rest of this entry »

I’m well-versed in Kid Sister’s Ultraviolet rays (mainly because I reviewed the muddafugga) but that still doesn’t detract from me actually thinking her songs are catchy. Her bubbly persona and those damn dimples might have something to do with it as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Everyone talks about supporting artists, but this is for those who actually went out and purchased Big Boi’s Sir Lucious album. We got our hands on one of the 30″ Big Boi x GoodWood pieces and, instead of keeping it, we’re going to pass it along to one person who bought the album. Produced in a limited run of 400, these pieces are perfect for wearing or simply as keepsakes. Read the rest of this entry »

Good God Almighty, what do we have here?

It’s seems as though a progressive Christian church out of Tulsa, Oklahoma called Church on the Move has traded in their holy water for pimp juice with their new music video for “Dad Life,” a rambunctious ride through the lives of four suburbanite fathers trying to make ends meet.

While The Blueprint 3 was far from classical Jay-Z, this Concerto in Roc minor certainly brings the symphony to the Hip-Hop radio halls. It’s Bach meets Brooklyn, Rossini meets RiRi! No Kanyeezy though. His verse was much too vulgar for high society. If you’re unfamiliar with E.S. Posthumus, check their background. This is what they do best. Read the rest of this entry »

The other day I was giving The Day The Turf Stood Still a listen and was reminded why I gravitated towards the project off an initial listen four months ago. Dope music has a tendency to do that to you. Since then, the man who has put the Fillmore District on his back and the proverbial map of Hip-Hop has been gaining steam Read the rest of this entry »
