Last night, I ended up watching “The Best That Never Was”, the latest intallment in ESPN’s 30 For 30 series, which highlighted the rise and fall of Marcus Dupree. While I was awe of how he broke off 40+ yard gallops like it was nothing, I spent more time in awe of his Jheri Curl. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been duly noted that Liam Gallagher is the douche of all blokes and certaintly no friend of Hip-Hop but that doesn’t prevent us from making the records more hotter with a sample mixup. Scoring some points across the pond and vice versa, The Incomparable Shakespeare and English producer Silver combined the powers of president and prime minister to create The British Invansion earlier this year.

So long, The Office. There’s a new funniest show in the world and its name is Community. In just its second season, the sitcom is one of the smartest, most hilarious shows on television, which means that its ratings aren’t that good compared to the shows on CBS which cater to adults that wear bibs.

When music has zest, it’s appealing and infectious and it’s what composes Theophilus’ music. On listening, the ears lead the mind in the involuntary reaction of escaping, following wherever dude decides to lead. And after waiting for what seems like forever, the final version of “Flying Overseas” is now available. Read the rest of this entry »
I can’t speak for everybody, but Friday night high school football games were the equivalent of a red carpet movie premiere. The entire week was built upon the anticipation of what you would wear, what/who you would see and how the team would perform. In a sense, that same type of yearning surrounds Friday Night Lights, the follow up to J. Cole’s crtically acclaimed The Warm Up. Read the rest of this entry »
No one will ever confuse Birdman with Outkast or Scarface. Then again, no one will ever confuse Birdman for a brother who could never hustle his way to a dollar either. As one of the premiere businessmen in Hip-Hop, one thing which has always been associated with Stunna is money. And lots of it.

Last night against the Denver Nuggets, the Indiana Pacers made their first 20 shots in the 3rd quarter and went on to score 54-points for the period. You have to ask yourself what’s more impressive: a team that can come out of halftime with fire shooting from their fingertips or you can actually name a single Pacer. Read the rest of this entry »
Charles Manson. OJ Simpson. Ted Bundy. Jeffrey Dahmer. Jon Benet’s parents. Son Of Sam. With all the attention these aforementioned executioners get, the fact Twista has been a murderer for years occasionally gets forgotten. Read the rest of this entry »
Hip-Hop has come a long way from humble beginnings to the biggest stages the civilized world has ever seen. Running parallel to its rise to the mainstream, Cee-Lo Green’s musical journey has been one rooted in grittiness yet lost in decadence at times. Read the rest of this entry »

The backwash of success brings about a multitude of reactions. Some spectators shower with praise, some overanalyze, some are hypercritical of being critics in the first place. None of the above was ever that deep to KiD CuDi. Whereas most rap acts live–and thrive as a result–from being gazed upon in the public eye, Scott Mescudi has arguably seen his celebrity grow from acting akin to most famous rockers; a recluse. Barren of the infamous Twitter account and offering little excitement in his interviews (most of the time), CuDi strokes his ego the old-fashioned way: Read the rest of this entry »
Wouldn’t it be nice having money to blow like the Young Moolah crew? Well, if you want to cop Maybachs, sport Martin Margiela highs and spray thousands of dollars into the air by shaking a green bottle – just like Lil’ Weezy and Drizzy Driz – then I have fantastic news for you. There is now a Young Money debit card available for public splurging. Read the rest of this entry »
Anytime I find myself redirected to Ask.com, I always suspect some sort of Malware has infested my hard drive. Truthfully, you’d probably have better luck fishing for answers to your Twitter followers than that goofy excuse for a search engine. If that sounds too harsh, at least I have Barry Diller agreeing with me. He’s only the guy who bought the company for $1.85 billion and is now putting half the staff on unemployment because competing with Google is becoming more costly. Read the rest of this entry »
Words by C. Paicely
“The last thing they want to hear about is your good news/ If ain’t about them, so what? F*ck you.”
It’s only right that a cat named Lungz breathes new life into an old message. The song alone oozes anger as he fires off shackles-on-my-feet analogies, implying “to hell with subtlety,” and the pseudo-electric guitar courtesy SC, adds kerosene to every line. Read the rest of this entry »
