Just when you thought you Kanye was on some BS with G.O.O.D. Friday, he terrorizes the blogosphere like a horror flick with this joint right here. Yeezy. Jay. Nicki. Scary combination indeed. Read the rest of this entry »

The first time I listen to anything from Pimp Chad’s The Naked Soul Of Sweet Jones will be when the entire album is made available. So I had to turn to outside opinions for feedback on the Boi-1da constructed “What Up” – the Pimp’s postumous collab with his partner in rhyme Bun B and self-proclaimed UGK alumni, Drake. Got all the back info squared away? Good. Here we go. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s fascinating to follow the trajectory of some of those old soul or jazz joints that were hot when our parents were our age, and trace them through time to see how various artists flip, alter, and incorporate them into music that is relevant today. Take for example, “Bumpy’s Lament” by Isaac Hayes. It was first covered by Soul Mann & His Brothers, then famously sampled on “Xxplosive” from 2001, and later on Erykah Badu’s “Bag Lady”. Now Million $ Mano has flipped it once more for The BFK’s latest assault on Hip-Hop. Read the rest of this entry »

Warning: If you are easily influenced by music, do not, I repeat, DO NOT click play. Otherwise, enjoy yourself.

Somewhere, in a nice cozy corner office the good people at FOX have set up for him, Bill O’Reilly is praying something negative happens to Hip-Hop in the near future. I’m not sure if William and Waka Flocka have ever met, but they seem like a match made in debate heaven. Flocka makes “hardcore” Hip-Hop equip with graphic visuals and Billy The Kid LOVES “hardcore” Hip-Hop equally as much. Read the rest of this entry »

These 580′s are dope, taking their style cues from military gear for the colors and materials.

“Inspired by the military MA-1 flight jacket, the full GORE-TEX MTG580 features in army olive green with some orange accents. The upper is a combination of rip-stop nylon and leather with a full GORE-TEX membrane. Read the rest of this entry »

Nothing like a little Hip-Hop philanthropy to go a long way.

“The backstory for “Yo Momma on Ya” is even crazier….the hook and the flow is originally created by a well-known homeless guy named Red, who was first recorded by the folks at the HVW8 Art Gallery in Los Angeles. Red was living in the alley behind their gallery. His performance became a YouTube favorite Read the rest of this entry »

Did you forget all about Lil Jon’s Crunk Rock? Well the white-boy-wasted frat boys of South Beach and tanning salon-lovin’ promiscuous girls worldwide sure didn’t. Whether day or night, when this song comes on, be prepared to be splashed with droplets of mixed drinks, sweat and catch more glimpses of nipples than a newborn baby. Read the rest of this entry »

After dropping his unreleased “Radio” jam a few days ago, Young Khalifa has uploaded a few more from his stash. Personally, I could have done without so much singing on the last track Read the rest of this entry »

I suppose with the explosion of rappers brought on by the advent of the digital age, Skillz would be a regular guy, the middle class of the Hip-Hop realm. Aspirations of full-blown fame have come and gone, he’s settled into a comfortable existence & still managed to make his mark on the world. Read the rest of this entry »

I couldn’t tell you the last time I walked into a Blockbuster to rent a movie. And it probably doesn’t help their cause that I still have unreturned VHS copies of Rosewood, Big Daddy & Get On The Bus sitting in a box in the garage. Did I cause the company to go broke, as the one-time video giant’s rumored to be on the brink of filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy? Read the rest of this entry »

You can’t be mad one bit at Wyclef for recording a song denouncing the government officials holding him back from running for president of Haiti. As passionate and empowering as the former Fugees star as been for his crippled country, it seems as if anything short of strapping the entire Caribbean island on his shoulders would be failure.

Designer brands have embraced the high top sneaker, adorning it with velcro, straps & other crap while most athletic companies have shied away from the style that was once an on court staple. All except for adidas, who still produces a few of their classic models in revamped colorways. This maroon Attitude high with traces of orange is available now at Wish and other select adidas retailers. Read the rest of this entry »

LC and I had an offbeat email exchange earlier today where she shared a picture of a Michigan man rocking out with a keytar. I had to remind her that DâM is keeping the instrument alive and well in his musical endeavors. And following his Twitter reaps gold most days, like a few days ago when he shared this taped footage from a July show in Warsaw where performed alongside Master Blazter. Read the rest of this entry »
