I clicked on this clip having no idea who Justin Darlington aka Jus Fly and Guy Dupuy aka Easy J of Team Flight Brothers were. I never expected Londoners to hold a Midnight Madness Dunk Contest or even pick up the roundball because I figured futbol was more their sport. Boy, was I grossly wrong. There are no adjectives to fully describe how miraculous the dunks in this clip are. Nada. Read the rest of this entry »

DJ AM was always an inspiring figure to me, a role-model if you will. He was one of those nothing to something guys who relentlessly overcame every obstacle in the way to living his dream and persevered to eventually become the very best of his craft.

DJ Skee continues his Alpha rapper mixtape onslaught that started with Freddie Gibbs and continued with Game and…Game. Now it’s Fashawn’s turn to bat and he’s ready for another hit, uh-uh-uh—Barry Bonds. Read the rest of this entry »

This Durant guy happens to be one of my favorite NBA players. Watching him expand his game and shoulders to encompass new roles – OKC team leader and now the face of Team USA in the FIBA World Championship – has been refreshing because there’s a humbleness about him that’s unapparent in other star athletes.

Green Lantern scores a new verse from the QB emcee for an upcoming mixtape. Fitting that “Power, Paper & P#ssy” would release on a Sunday morning because God’s Son spits a few inconvenient truths that will leave his targets squirming in their seats. Read the rest of this entry »

Well well, here’s a twist. After months of leaking subpar tracks, Game has found a way to rise to the occasion. All he had to do was enlist a group of A-list features and an equally esteemed producer and the job was virtually done for him. No matter the dismal quality of his recent mixtapes, Game has consistently shown that he is capable of putting out quality, trunk-pounding music and this song is definitely a step in the right direction.

Kanye West made G.O.O.D. on his promise to deliver new music straight from his horse’s mouth but this infectious remix to an international smash can be considered a worthy bonus. Stromae hails from Belgium and with his runaway hit “Alors On Danse,” he was able to conquer over 20 countries in Europe. Read the rest of this entry »

Just as the LiLo media spectacle was beginning to die down, her former BFF, Paris Hilton, was busted last night for alleged coke possession.

“The hotel heiress was riding in a black Cadillac Escalade which was pulled over in front of the Wynn Hotel on the Vegas strip at about 11:30 p.m. after police detected the smell of marijuana coming from the SUV, Lt. Wayne Holman told CNN. Read the rest of this entry »

Kicking rhymes from the back of a Starbucks would probably be as ridiculous as you can imagine. That is if Trek Manifest didn’t make the concept such a stimulating song.

In an attempt to not to be outdone by Kanye West again, 50 Cent’s Twitter account has risen from its dormant slumber of self-promoting PR balderdash and joined the social media parade. Naturally, it’s comedy gold. Full of thuggish, foul-mouthed, and severely grammatically incorrect material, Fif clearly wasn’t lying when he rhymed about selling crack during school hours. But go ahead, call him out on it, and see what happens. I dare you. Read the rest of this entry »
