I still contend Remy Martin could rhyme with damn near anybody put alongside of her, regardless of reproductive organ. Unfortunately, label politics, legal hurdles and a present day prison sentence derailed what had the potential to be a fruitful solo career. The 2006 There’s Something About Remy: Based On A True Story was an impressive showing and Read the rest of this entry »

AHH:

“Although rap star Wyclef Jean and ex-bandmate Pras Michele have settled their difference, fans will be disappointed to know that a reunion of The Fugees will never happen, according to Jean.

“When it comes to Lauryn and Pras, it’s my childhood, they always bring me to that place,” Wyclef told the BBC. Read the rest of this entry »

Somebody lost. Maybe it was Soulja Boy or Kanye or every last one of us, but we’re all on the outside looking in with open mouths and dirty minds with this act of lipstick lesbianism. Video vixens have to stay hot as long as their looks will allow them and that means Amber Rose and Rosa Acosta have to admit to being bisexual. Whether it’s true or not, then so be it.

You know you’re on to something when you make a storied rap career just by being yourself. Even when cracking a smile, Maino remains the gangsta’s champion and he’ll gladly whip you with the belt as well as rock it with pride. Pound for pound, he’s looking to body any jerk, Jenk or joke of a rapper that has the audacity to get in his way. Read the rest of this entry »

Atlanta is rallying so hard for their Falcons right now, anything short of a Super Bowl win will result in utter disappointment. First it was an assorted gaggle going hard in the end zone for ATL’s Dirty Birds, and now, Young Bobby Ray is using his musicianship for the ultimate fight song. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re into clogging your arteries while nodding your head to some hedonistic Hip-Hop, then TiRon and his right-hand man Ayomari have the joint for you. Extra heapings of ketchup, mustard, mayo, horseradish—ANYTHING you can pour on globs on your Mondo Burger. Not to mention sides of sushi, escargot, lobster pizza and filet mignon. They eating good over in Cali-forn-i-a or whatever part of the globe they choose to pig out like chitlins. Read the rest of this entry »

So here’s how the story goes, in a nutshell:

– Jets easily dispose of Patriots 28-14 in Week 2.

– Patriots channel inner Joe Jackson and beat Jets like an offbeat child 45-3 in Week 13.

– As fate would have it, the two are scheduled to square off in the rubber match this weekend for a trip to the AFC Championship. Read the rest of this entry »

I said awhile back that fame is the most powerful drug known to man; Jazmine Sullivan is only the latest human to experience its effects. So when she announced she was taking a hiatus from the music world, shock was the last emotion I felt. She’s talented, but anyone who can sing about pain and heartbreak for this long is obviously Read the rest of this entry »

Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the man and woman of the hour for the ceremony of The Greatest Story Never Told. Overseeing the proceedings this evening will be The Yardfather a.k.a. Saigon as he preaches to the congregation about hope and change with the pearl-voiced leading lady Faith Evans.

Did you know Johnny Storm and Steve Rogers were the same person? Yeah, me neither. But little things like cognition never stopped the folks over at Marvel from hammering out a movie. If Spider-Man’s tattered battle dress wasn’t enough to get your eyes rolling, how about a paper-mâché uniform for the legendary Captain America? Yeah, how about that. Marvel says its crappy design is intentional because “you couldn’t take him seriously in his flag pajamas,” according to director Joe Johnston. Read the rest of this entry »

Ever since Sony booted Tobey to reboot Spidey, it seems like our friendly neighborhood arachnid has fallen further and further into the land of wasted potential. First, there was a long and agonizing period of speculation about who would take over the role as a teenage Peter Parker. Then, we found out the replacement would be a 27-year-old American-British guy with a nice thick English accent. Oh, and let’s not even talk about that God-forsaken play. Spidey seemed to be doomed.

Remember last week when were discussing new cool remixer/producer Jamie xx, his work with Adele and his then most recent work, the half-hour mix he made for Benji B’s show on BBC Radio 1? Yeah, I finally listened and it’s quite the bee’s knees. The experience might be even better if one just clicks play, ignores the tracklisting and just enjoying it without thinking “hey, I’m rocking to Cassie?” Read the rest of this entry »

International Jones, otherwise known as Fiend, dropped his Tennis Shoes & Tuxedos mixtape today (grab it here). After hearing “Coupe Conversing” a few days ago, check “We Whats Happenin’” featuring K.R.I.T. and DZA. Read the rest of this entry »

I was traveling the scenic route around the worldwide web last week, stopping briefly on the Skyyhook Radio site and Headkrack’s track popped up. As a general rule, I hate you and your whole family if I find music playing once I land on your site. But when I hit Skyhook’s landing page, Bob Marley’s voice called out to me, specifically the familiar refrain from “I Shot The Sheriff.” Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes to iPod shuffling, Kid Sister’s Ultraviolent still gets substantial burn from me and that’s not due to the fact I think she looks as edible as a morning muffin. There’s an “it” factor that is transmitted through her music that makes her accessible towards the Pop spectrum while still being able to hold tight to her scrunchies and rap sensibilities.
