Schoolboy Q – “Options”

04.29.11 Written by Gotty™

In a little under four minutes, Schoolboy manages to spew a heavy amount of raunchy rhymes in total antithesis of what his name would imply. In many ways, the TDE crew reminds me of a new age version of the Geto Boys; their strength found within the fact they can string together endless, detailed taunts in a way that’s highly listenable.

Amanda Diva – Madame Monochrome EP

04.29.11 Written by Gotty™

Diva always does things differently and takes the road less traveled. Therefore referencing Monochrome in her EP’s title is merely a play on words by an artist who’s anything but plain black and white. Read the rest of this entry »

Chiddy Bang Is Hip-Hop’s New Ironman

04.29.11 Written by Ryan J.

In the annals of Hip-Hop lore, count Chiddy as the owner of world’s longest freestyle. The lyrical half of Chiddy Bang might not be the first long-winded MC considered for the title, but MTV has the proof of his marathon from yesterday’s O Music Awards. Starting acapella and then joining partner-in-crime, Xaphoon Jones, on stage, Guinness recognized the 9 hour, 16 minutes and 22 seconds set as the world’s longest. Read the rest of this entry »

I-20 Feat. Freeway, Dox Diggla & Goga – “Life Is Short”

04.29.11 Written by Beware

Yesterday, I heard news about a 46-year-old Flint, MI-area woman and her 11-year-old daughter being killed by a 75-year-old tree falling on their moving minivan. After the pit in my stomach went away, I found solace in the fact I do indeed attempt to live out every moment like it’s my last, because obviously anything can put out your flame.

Phil Adé – “Something Out Of Nothing”

04.29.11 Written by J. Tinsley

“Suffering is nothing, no time huffing and puffing/You talk about hell, n*gga I grew up in the oven…”

There isn’t a person on Earth with the ability to convince me 400 Degreez was sub par. As one of my personal favorite LP’s ever recorded, I admire when artists pay homage to the album and with Phil Adé’s newest outing, he does just that. “Something Out Of Nothing” finds the DMV native bobbing and weaving his way through three impressive verses over Juve’s classic “Ha.” Read the rest of this entry »

King Mez – “Sirens”

04.29.11 Written by MZ

Start your song with “I can never stand those sirens” and there’s a pretty good chance I’m gonna rock with you, connecting your words with my experiences with those same sounds. But first impressions can be misleading and this was one of those instances courtesy of the Tarheel state representative King Mez. Read the rest of this entry »

How Does Gangsta Gibbs Feel About Lil B’s “Gay” Title?

04.29.11 Written by Gotty™

If you’ve ever wondered why we support Freddie & co. so heavily, the reason is because we see much of Hip-Hop – the music, surrounding culture, the reverence for original acts…and the current levels of f*ckery – very much alike. At our sponsored Southpaw show from earlier in the week, Gibbs reiterated on the mic what we said here about Lil B’s upcoming, fruity album title. Read the rest of this entry »

Coming Attractions: Nike Air Force 1 Denim/Bronze

04.29.11 Written by MZ

Place a pair of AF1′s and Dunks in front of me and I’ll select the Dunks 95 out of 100 times. It’s just a matter a preference and partially goes back to a pair of Forces bought back in ’05 that had some of the worst leather this side of a Payless shoe store. But if there’s one material that will make me temporarily switch sides, it’s denim. Read the rest of this entry »

Witness A Big Sean Fan Cook, Cling & Dirty Dance

04.29.11 Written by Gotty™

A substantial description escapes me here for two reasons.

1. I can’t create a context because have no idea what Perajok said. I tried to input the text into three different language translation services and they spit the words back as garbledy-gook. Still, her headline, “Big Sean Got Raped On Stage,” seems sufficient enough. Read the rest of this entry »
