In 2011, this is as close to a “Roll Call” as you’re going to get.

If you can’t tell by now, Emilio Rojas is a pimp, swindler and bona fide ladies man. For all those double entendre’d finishers/cramming-28-bars-into-16-bar-stanzas/motor-mouthed lyrical acrobatics he likes to pull off, he never hesitates to let you catch him with a woman. Any type ranging from wifey to hooker tramp, he’s got ‘em—in his videos. Read the rest of this entry »

Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway is probably best remembered nowadays for his short-lived, albeit impressive shoe line thanks to Nike’s slew of retro releases. What may be lost on some younger cats is that it was Penny’s on-court exploits that warranted him getting that line of kicks in the first place.

Smoke DZA’s repeated invocations of “I smoke that kush” at the beginning of “KUSHEDGOD” are promises, reiterations of an absolute truth that cannot be questioned. As the title infers, if the ineffable Lil B’s entire existence is “based,” than DZA’s is “kushed.” Lesser bud simply does not enter the young Harlemite’s cipher. Lesser emcees probably shouldn’t either. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s about that time Consequence hits the silver screen again and since the popcorn has been buttered, curtain has been lifted and ushers are on foot patrol, the show can go on with Movies On Demand 2. Looking to be a bigger box office draw than its predecessor, the sequel finds The Cons shooting drama scenes with XV and Bun, action segues with Talib Kweli and Kendrick Lamar and plenty Read the rest of this entry »
