If you couldn’t tell by the video for “You Make Me Sick” the other day, Saigon is finally getting his chance to discuss his side of things, his way. What once was an urban music myth will actually become reality, supposedly the day after Valentine’s in 2011. Read the rest of this entry »

The Miami Heat have looked exactly how most expected during the infant stages of an electric 2010-2011 season. Dominant at times and extremely evident growing pains at others. D-Wade is the scorer while LeBron seems to be adapting to his facilitator/point-forward position leading the squad in assists with eight per game to go along with 21 points. Even the role players are accepting their roles as sharpshooters and rebounders. Yet, the one glaring disparity remains their post presence – or lack thereof. Read the rest of this entry »

Real O.G.’s know this rap ish don’t always keep the heat on so a career in street pharmaceutics can always bring in a little extra cashflow. The L.O.X. are kingpins in the studio but crime lords in Yonkers. Styles will test the work and make sure it’s murderdeathkillhomocide with extra ketchup. Jada ensures that the public is loving more than Mickey D’s while Sheek oversees all the operations. When you learn and learn off experience, business can be a beautiful thing.

Aside from Trey Songz, mixtapes from R&B artists still seem odd. My preconceived ignorance continues to associate the term with Hip-Hop mainly because there’s always a new one popping up by “Lil This Guy” or “Big Rapper Dude” seemingly everyday. Then again, the line between albums, mixtapes and even genres are damn near impossible to decipher these days. Record sales Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re down with decks and prefer your hip as much as your hop, then Fashawn’s new visual for “Bart Simpson” has you covered. Embracing the Cen Cal skateboarding culture from which he came, this XXL Frosh enlists Pro-Vert-boarder Danny Meyer on the beat and calls in a cameo from this years Dew Cup and Money Maloof Cup Champion Pierre-Luc Gagnon to compliment the intricate rhymes he’ll continue to kick and push publicly for years to come.

I’ve been remiss in listening to Alley Boy & Eldorado Red for a while now, at least since summer. But sheesh, El goes in on the first verse, using coke-laced words twanged out with a thick accent. Off the twosome’s upcoming mixtape Return Of The Mob, which is liable to be what I like to call “Chevy-ready.” Read the rest of this entry »

How do you solve a “Wheel Of Fortune” puzzle with just one letter, shocking the world in the process? Ask Caitlin Burke, who took an “L” and then solved the mystery phrase.

“Caitlin left host Pat Sajak dumbfounded and at a loss for words when she asked to solve the puzzle, with only an “L” revealed on the board. But when she guessed “I’ve Got A Good Feeling About This” Read the rest of this entry »

The only thing better than The Boondocks is The Boondocks uncensored, uncut with one of those unflattering TV-MA logos plastered on the front. Sorry Adult Swim but grown-ups like their entertainment without inhibitions and little fuzzy things over nipples. If you’re looking to share some mature humor with the extended fam this holiday season, The Boondocks: Season 3 just hit stores in all its immature albeit thought-provocative glory.

It’s a day for football, relaxing and borderline brilliant HBO programming. It’s also the smoothest joint rolled fat in the center off Aleon Craft’s The Stargazing Soundtrack. When you’re as cool as an ice cube’s sweat, a casual stroll around the neighborhood becomes a party on the highway. Read the rest of this entry »

Is it possible to release an interview mixtape? Because if it is, Hell Rell needs to be the first to do so. Never one to not speak his mind in front of a camera, music remains his number one priority and means of keeping food on the table and kush to smoke. I have no qualms saying that I’m still in the dark in regards to this Dipset reunion. Is everyone back together or Read the rest of this entry »

The leader of the Gang has been released after last night’s apparent arrest and comfortably free from the confines of jail, thus the Taylors are breathing a sigh of relief. I was once told that every man should go to jail at least once, just to understand the reasons why to never end up there again. The philosophy is obviously flawed, but it does speak towards the learning experience involved. To be clear, we do not know the full circumstances surrounding last night’s situation. Still, here are three things that both artists and fans should consider when engaging in social networking, potential illegal activity and the like. Read the rest of this entry »

“What’s the number for today?/I don’t know nigga!”

“Soulja call it super-Lupe-lyrical./ You can’t understand me nor mimic my miracles.”

Folks are still debating whether Soulja Boy was really attacking The Cool with that “super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical” comment. Was it a diss? Read the rest of this entry »
