Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to boost cars and take part in wild gun fights with Mario and Luigi? No? Well congratulations, you don’t have child in man’s body syndrome. The rest of us geeks will enjoy this faux trailer featuring the famous Bros. in GTA 4′s world. It’s got plenty of film and game cliches to make meme aficionados go wild. The flick is also cut like a GTA ad to a T and adds to its “authenticity.” Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been waiting on this one since I got wind of it earlier in the week. Unreleased Mobb material compiled and hosted by DJ Rated R, DJ Woogie & DJ Larry Lo. Who knows which version of the QB crew we’ll be getting – Read the rest of this entry »

Kevin Hart had us laughing the other day while Trey Songz failed to act. Honestly, we all had a good chuckle (after finding out she was okay of course) and the moment has passed. Of course, now there’s the “who’s that girl” moment that has everybody intrigued. Miyoki Jones was just trying to move past the incident when who else but TMZ approached her in the streets, already possessing her social security number and first grade report card.

“Best Of…” lists are everywhere online right now and I’ve contributed to a few already. Without fail, I’ve had to include Ross’ Teflon Don each time around, mainly because as redundant & conflicting as his content is, the guy has mastered a sound. The Carol City’s number one rapping CO has locked in on mimicking Jeezy’s cadence, added a few pounds of guttural bass with his voice and he’s winning. So let me salute this fat son of gun and give him his due props. Read the rest of this entry »

You never thought you’d see the phrases ‘Spice 1‘ and ‘mixtape’ in the same phrase, did you? Well, me neither and that’s why I was quick on the draw to help spread this Bay Area staple’s latest shotgun blast, Notorious Bastards Vol. 1 Mixtape. Don’t expect much more than tales from the hood and quick-tongued massacres, but hey, that’s just the thug in him. Read the rest of this entry »

Writing some of these R&B new jacks off as one-hit wonders seems like it would a good bet. But Jeremih’s still here, sustaining success with this bouncy club jam. Read the rest of this entry »

Asher Roth rhyming about being tired of partying? Say it ain’t so Joe because the idea sounds improbable, especially since Nottz’s piano and snappy drums make it sound like the party is just getting started. “Gotta Get Up” is the second leak from Asher Roth and Nottz’s upcoming release which drops for free on December 27th Read the rest of this entry »

“We hustle bottom up/that’s word to pole dancers…”

While Epiphany most definitely isn’t sliding across tabletops for Washington singles, he still has a handle on making it reign when it comes to his raps. The “bang bang” Little Rock MC opts to roll with words of wisdom over ones with war but he still feels he’s Part Of The Problem—which is the name of his upcoming springtime release.

Intro by TC

DJ Premier.

The mere mention of the name can elicit a million different emotions from a million different residents of the house of Hip-Hop. Whether you’re a primetime industry player, artist with a collage of shiny plaques or disciple of the culture who’s allotted a percentage of your budget to the cause over the years, the Works of Mart have impacted your life in some shape or fashion.

Elliott Wilson has always been a lightening rod for controversy. Either you love the guy or you don’t love him and that’s putting it lightly. For myself, YN has always been someone I held a high level of respect for mainly because his career path was similar to one I wouldn’t mind embarking on. Keep in mind, I’m just one writer in an Internet sea full of millions, so if there are shady back stories during his print days, they’re foreign to me. Read the rest of this entry »

I thought the lion’s share of Miami Heat hate in the Midwest came from the mistake by the lake. Except now it looks like Chicago—or at least some intrepid Bulls fans—are trailing in a close second with their SMH Hall Of Fame nominee, “Lets Beat the Heat.” Honestly this video is terrible: like public access terrible. Additionally you’ll probably wonder what the hell is going on as the flick transpires. For instance, how do these dudes have such an incredible collection of toys and stuffed animals? Or, what’s with_the odd_underscore placement_?

Ultimately, I found it best to just watch and not question any of it.

Chicago plays Miami at home on January 15th, 2011. I think the franchise ought to break tradition and play this video as they call the Bulls’ starting lineup. Imagine how hyped the fans will get when they see one of their own leading the charge. More importantly, I’m sure Norbel, Bosh and “DeWade” will freeze as soon as they hear the first notes of the imitation “Beat It” rendered over a Casio keyboard.

Via Ball Don’t Lie

Travel from New York to Paris via subway? That Puffy guy surely outsmarted himself with his latest marketing campaign, even though the city seems none too happy. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, here’s the first star-studded remix to Young Khalifa’s credit. This “Black & Yellow (G-Mix)” features at least $500K in guest features, that probably cost the Taylor Gang president zilch, because right now his buzz is so Spacely he’s the one administering favors to Oscar-winners & superstars. How ’bout them apples? Read the rest of this entry »

Focused on the paper like I signed, but never pledged shit…

David said a few weeks ago about how frustrating it can be to put your words of support behind an artist, only to watch them fall off the face of the map. Read the rest of this entry »

Our friend & vinyl connoisseur DJ Teddy King went diggin’ in his personal crates, took a handful of Nasty’s acapellas from album cuts & rare cuts and then paired them with original production submitted by friends. The final product, No Ideas Original: The Nas Remixes, sounds like an album Nasir may have made himself, if it weren’t for his nagging tin ear. To sample the sounds, check below for the version of “No Ideas Original,” cooked up by none other than Large Professor, and then visit Boundless to download the full project.
