Even when presented with countless opportunities to take the sleazy Pop route out, Skillz lyrical tendencies keep pulling him back in. Which is why we’re blessed with such conceptual works of genius like Infamous Quotes. From Allen Iverson rants to classic pieces from The Wire, SkillzVA blends our favorite quips and his penstrokes with help from DJ Jazzy Jeff and J. Period. Read the rest of this entry »

Mr. X to tha Z has less than 3 months to get his MMX off the ground or that album title will go for naught. And no way a Beach Boys sample comes for cheap so…yeah. Chop, chop Mr. Joiner. On the flipside, “Highest Form Of Understanding (H.F.O.U.)” finds a meditative Xzibit gnawing over the memories of yesteryear with feverish flashbacks of persistence and failure. They say you have to know where you’ve been to know where you’re going and X’s understanding of this is simply a mental zenith. Read the rest of this entry »

Ever wondered “How to Advertise a Sex Toy on Primetime Television”? Marvel no more. Take note of how Trojan pulls it off to showcase their new Vibrating Tri-Phoria.

“Trojan recently released a state-of-the-art vibrator: the Triphoria. Three unique tips! The company also figured out how to get cable networks to let them advertise the sex toy during the day: Don’t call it a “vibrator.”

“Trojan just assumed that prudish cable networks would stick their commercial for Triphoria between early-morning reruns of Seinfeld. But the spot does such a good job of just barely indicating what the product does that many networks, including VH1 and Comedy Central, have approved the commercial for early evening and even day slots, according to the Times.

“The key was not mentioning the word “vibrator.” One network exec tells the Times: “No matter how liberal you are, a little kid doesn’t need to hear the word ‘vibrator,’” Instead, the commercial plugs the “vibrating triphoria,” as a “personal massager.”

I love how things work. No sooner than I drop a few words assessing a musician’s recent output, they come back with a track worthy of recognition. Jeezy & Shawty Redd together again for the thundering track “Amen.” Read the rest of this entry »

Words by C. Paicely

When he’s not breaking letter capitalization rules, brandUn DeShay reps the West Side of Chicago and you can hear it in his voice. While flipping a familiar Grizzly Bear tune, DeShay rhymes about his lady troubles in “Puttin My Two Weeks In” with that matter of fact tone and comedic wordplay Midwestern spitters are known for. He comes off simplistic but the internal rhyming and smooth delivery over that sickly piano give the track legs. Read the rest of this entry »

The video may be softcore but you know damn well the type of movie Twista and Chris “Butta” Brown want to make with your older sister. The kind that Paris and Kim get paid for as well as ruin regular folks’ lives in the same blip. You had to know Twist was sprinkling his Perfect Storm with some candy-coated raindrops and this is surely the sugar drizzle. Read the rest of this entry »

And why wouldn’t he? Mos doesn’t need to rap, or sing. But, he loves both, and had the option of joining the one man who’s actually getting things done in Hip-Hop and has the game’s most anticipated album dropping in November. Good Ass Job? Nah, this is a G.O.O.D. ass year for Mr. West. Read the rest of this entry »

Back when “Large On The Streets” first dropped in March, it was reasonable to think Slime Flu was gonna be a gritty, boom-bap outing. But Vado took his time in the lab to craft the best possible product and, apparently, he caught the bug to mastermind a lush, Mafioso affair. First “Celebration.” Now “Goodfellas.” Made man, indeed.

Spade for spade, I’m the realest n!gga out…

So we’ve come to the end of the road. The previous 72 hours – or eight episodes in this case – have shown the final moments of freedom of a man dealing with literally the weight of the world on his shoulders. First off, a congratulations is in order to Motion Family. This was about as in-depth as cameras were going to get given the circumstances. Read the rest of this entry »

This isn’t so much of a remix as it is a rehash. But the beat is so cold and in my assertive opinion, Swizzle does the damn thang on the hook, so, take that haters. If you payed close attention to the second original, Mary J.’s vocals were never lifted off the first original so her presence here (and the VMA’s) were more natural than what met the naked ear.

Kenny West made his return appearance to The Cleveland Show last night, which means the fall television season is fully underway. Keeping in step with his real world alter ego Kenny seems to be a kinder, gentler fellow these days, thanks in part to the much less Asian version of Mr. Miyagi. Read the rest of this entry »

Call me crazy but as I was playing the 2K11 demo I kept wondering how they screwed up the jerseys. It looked like they shaved a giant V in the front and back of the jerseys for some reason. I just assumed they had to skimp on some pixels here and there for facial ticks and what not, but I should’ve had more faith in the good people over 2K Sports. Adidas is unveiling their Revolution 30 jersey this year to coincide with the busy free agent migration this past summer and six teams who’ve totally revamped their uniforms.
