If you lied to yourself and told us Fat Joe’s last album was extra great and worth more than 3 Cigs, ask yourself how did you so conveniently forgot about it come year-end time. Yeah, sometimes faces need to be rubbed in armpits and dog poo for goodness sake, but we forgive you. Read the rest of this entry »

Bambu must have “fearless” tattooed inside his eyelids because he’s always dabbling in topics most rappers wouldn’t dare to tackle out of worry of being blacklisted or shunned before they have a chance to make it big.

Two weeks ago, Buffalo Wild Wings f*cked up my order and presented me with a hamburger instead of the chicken sandwich I ordered. On my previous visit to the eatery four months earlier, they added bacon to a sandwich I clearly stated to the waitress not to include pork. I will never eat there again, under the firm belief everyone employed by the local version is inept and their food isn’t all that dandy anyways.

But ordering drinks at Applebee’s sounds far more dangerous to your health if you have kids. Read the rest of this entry »

Royce has hit a wall no 5-Hour Energy can save him from. Thing is, who needs pens when you flow like your tongue is a semi-automatic and the curse words are hollow-point bullets? Death was already guaranteed and since he has to be on this earth for a little while longer, why not cash in on those talents?

“Gold’s Gym, the world’s leading authority in health and fitness, announced today that Kanye West can officially lay claim to the strongest song in the gym. After an intense nationwide vote, his popular track, nominated by Super Bowl XLII champion Michael Strahan, survived a star-studded bracket of 64 iPod all-stars to be named the greatest workout song of all time.

“Stronger,” West’s 2007 hit from his Graduation album, was voted the winner in Gold’s Gym’s first ever March Music Madness competition. The competition was designed to put an end to the age old debate about what song really is the best for working out. Whether it’s music from “Rocky,” hip hop, hair bands, pop or metal, people have always had strong opinions. Gold’s Gym’s March Music Madness answered the question once and for all… or at least until next year.” [Gold's Gym]

Because someone reading this space does want to hear the remix matchup between Rihanna and Britney. The song really isn’t my personal cup of coffee but I’ll be the first one clicking play if a video releases. Read the rest of this entry »

While the Californian trio consisting of Phil Da Agony, Mitchy Slick and Krondon are far from peacekeeping missionaries draped in social awareness, as an unit, they have a good handle on keeping one foot in the streets and the other in the studio.
