C.J. Hilton Feat. Nas – “So Fresh”

04.29.11 Written by J. Tinsley

For the unfamiliar, C.J. Hilton looks to be the next R&B sensation J Records/RCA hopes to put on the map following in the tradition of Alicia Keys, Mario and more. His still untitled album is currently in the process of being put together and “So Fresh” may or may not be the single which gets some backing this summer. Regardless, grabbing Salaam Remi and Nas isn’t a bad look whatsoever. Read the rest of this entry »

Hones-T Feat. Gudda Gudda, Boogz Boogetz & Milli Millz – “Bang Em In The Face”

04.29.11 Written by Beware

You take your Hip-Hop way too seriously if you’re not slightly chuckling at the full name of this song. Forget that we’ve got three stuttering rap names and one unnecessary hyphen, the fact of the matter is “Bang Em In The Face” immediately loses toughness for overly-specifying where said banging might take place.

Eminem And Royce 5’9 – “Fast Lane”

04.28.11 Written by J. Tinsley

Long, long ago, in a high school far, far away, a friend of mine let me hear some song titled “Renegade.” Only instead of Jay-Z riding shotgun, a fellow by the name of Royce Da 5’9 was. It was later explained to me that this was the “original” version. I walked away impressed and with the thought of what a joint project between the two Red Wings would sound like.

Soulja Boy Is The New Tupac

04.28.11 Written by J. Tinsley

Somebody’s head just exploded upon reading that headline.

A few days ago several people on my Twitter timeline began venting their frustrations in reference to Soulja Boy playing the role of Bishop in what was billed as the sequel to Juice.

All I could do was shake my head. Read the rest of this entry »

Cleveland Finally Wins: Hillis Defeats Vick For Madden 2012 Cover

04.28.11 Written by Raj

LeBron who? That fellow never won sh*t for Ohio to really brag about. Make way for Browns running back Peyton Hillis, 2012’s Madden curse victim. Following a highly impressive 1,100 yard campaign in which he had virtually no supporting cast (sound familiar?), the young fullback-turned-halfback exploded his way into becoming this year’s face of Madden NFL ’12, gathering more fan-votes than the assumed favorite, Michael Vick.

A Few Thoughts On The Weeknd

I’m usually delinquent when it comes to assessing the latest e-crazes, but reminders to give projects a fair share hang around like mental Post-It notes. My proverbial wall of suggestions resembles a clustered, college bulletin board right now. However, after having finally gotten around to checking out one of those suggestions – The Weeknd’s House Of Balloons – there’s a few points to be shared from my listening experience.

Where’s “The Wire” Cast At Now?

04.28.11 Written by Gotty™

If you had asked me where they were at prior to “The Wire,” I definitely would say Law & Order because I’ve seen enough reruns to know each and every character, minus Stringer and Avon, was either a DT, a witness or purported criminal in the long-running TV series. But post-”Wire,” I couldn’t say because my relationship with the boob tube has been minimized drastically since HBO pulled the plug on . Thankfully, our friends @ Vulture did investigating to see which TV show has the most “Wire” characters now. Read the rest of this entry »

All’s Well With Warren G’s Junk

04.28.11 Written by Gotty™

Warren’s decided to regulate the rumors regarding potential peen problems after the penis pill ads from earlier in the week had everyone (read: no one) worrying. Fact is he actually owns shares in the company. Still, he offered up no explanation as to why he was in the shower with another man in one of the commercials. Read the rest of this entry »

Lupe Fiasco Feat. Skylar Grey – “Words I Never Said” Video

04.28.11 Written by MZ

Lupe’s current situation and talks of the Illuminati have been water cooler fodder the past few days at work. I usually don’t initiate or try to lead these conversations because it always gives me perspective of those who aren’t continually plugged into the matrix like we are. So it was funny how Lasers came up out of the blue as a topic of discussion Read the rest of this entry »
