The Cud Bud is always on the pursuit of happiness but the mojo in his dope is so potent, his tongue can slice like a Ginsu without warning. Gracing the cover of Complex’s Oct/Nov issue, Scotty held no qualms about opening up about using nose candy or speaking his peace on a few issues. Or war, given your point of view.

You’d think unleashing Kanye onto New York’s fashion week would result in a flurry of tweets, notable quotables and garish ensembles only Lady Gaga could love. Because, let’s be real here, the man’s back. He just cleaned out the closet by premiering a song that salutes himself at the VMAs and the release of Whatever-It’s-Called Ass Job is quickly approaching. Not only that, but his Suge-Knight-Meets-Gucci suit during aforementioned performance speaks of someone ready to talk his sh#t again. Read the rest of this entry »
“Wait til the drug test results are in,” she says. Really Tiny? Is that what we wanted? Because while the world speculated on T.I.’s involvement since the arrest, the Kang has tested positive not only for Mary Jane but codeine as well. All this smoking and drinking was bound to catch up. ESPECIALLY when you’re still on probation. Read the rest of this entry »
MJ might be gracing the cover of 2K11, but you had to figure he wasn’t actually going to do much else to promote this game. If he’s not saving the world from bacon necks one white tee at a time, then he’s taking the check and recovering from the night before. Which explains why we got Rondo, D. Rose, Josh Smith, Igoudala & Russell Westbrook taking a trip down memory lane recounting some Jordan’s most memorable moments via the Jordan Moments mode. I can’t say that anyone of them are natural pitchmen, but together they do a pretty good job and create memorable clip.
And speaking of Jordan moments, here’s one that probably won’t be included in the game, but worthy of inclusion since most people probably haven’t even seen this.
Michael Jordan is, of course, remembered for his six Championship Titles and the countless game winners, but somewhere far down that list of “Stuff MJ Did” is the time he swooped into the paint and dunked mercilessly against a professional Italian basketball team during an exhibition game in Italy. The game was played on August 25th, 1986, and was never televised but later surfaced during a sports highlight show on a Spanish television station, an odd coincidence which only adds to the mystique, so continue reading for the rare footage of Jordan shattering the backboard and let us know if you’ve seen any better from Shaq, Darryl Dawkins, Darvin Ham, or anyone else who has victimized the rim.

I always approach releases from incarcerated rappers and posthumous efforts with a bit of trepidation, wondering how the key character’s lack of input effects the final product. The title track for his upcoming EP features the warbling Weezy, which we’ve grown accustomed, but it sounds like a Rebirth leftover and actually sounds more grounded than his usual extraterrestrial offers.

Be forewarned that if you’re still hungover from last night or woke up early for a wake and bake, this could/couldn’t be the video for you, as it could induce motion sickness. Our favorite Fred since Fred G. Sanford hooked up with Dan The Man – who employed a couple of 7Ds and some camera trickery referred to as “wiggle stereoscopy” – for “Serve Or Get Served” in full color. Read the rest of this entry »
If Adele were thinner, more crack-addled and a bigger train wreck of a human being, then she’d be just as famous as Amy Winehouse. Her voice is just as strong. Lyrics are just as poignant. And her album, 19, is right up there with Back To Black as a near-flawless piece of work. One of the best tracks from 19 is the anthem, “Hometown Glory.” The song is an ode to Adele’s city and the beauties of having a place to call home. Read the rest of this entry »
“If it wasn’t for the Bronx, this rap ish probably wouldn’t be going on, so tell me where you from…”
With his unique posture, delivery and lyrical content, The Kid Daytona probably doesn’t fall in line with the renowned rugged mantra of BX rappers, but that’s what he reps 24/7. The second entry in Generation Next’s nationwide talent showcase comes from a rapper who once quipped “don’t misconstrue me with losers who fail.” Read the rest of this entry »
For a song to be rightfully considered an anthem, it has to be widely accepted by the demographic it claims to cater to as their go-to track. In terms of official THC-themed-songs and the melting pot culture that claims name to the cultivation, Z-Ro’s self-proclaimed “Smoker’s Anthem” is probably not even cracking the Top 10.

Posting piddly little videos of rappers being interviewed during their daily media hour isn’t really our thing, but when the impossible unfolds in front of your eyes it’s hard not to share. In this brief clip with DJ Vlad, watch worlds set on a course for collision, as Tech N9ne – the king of the underground – talks about being put on a list at Rikers to visit the man who wrote “Lollipop.” Read the rest of this entry »
Austin is one America’s most musical cities, a place where you can catch a Grade A performance on any night of the week. A few Fridays ago, it was our turn to play host as DOM Kennedy made a stop through the Texas town to add his California mix to the equation Read the rest of this entry »
Fresh off his stellar appearances on The Roots’ How I Got Over, Truck Nizzy isn’t settling for royalty checks or waiting on the band for his next spotlight. He’s put his gears in overdrive on his overtime shift and has not one but three projects on the brim of his Philly Eagles’ fitted. At press time, it’s the I Told You So… Mixtape that’s motivating the 76er and without hesistation, he brutalizes Reflection Eternal’s “In This World” for his “What’s Happening?” spin.

A SFW video featuring PinkyXXX?!? Say you swear??? The b*tch with the big butt and even bigger dildo dropped a mixtape with DJ Scream earlier this year and like her big browski Brian Pumper, she’s set her goals on BET instead of the b-e-d. Still, when you make boatloads of money being shot in the bucknakey buff, what sort career elevation can come from this? Read the rest of this entry »
