Charlie Sheen’s saga never really piqued my interest and not too many Hollywood stories do. None except for Lindsay Lohan’s, which happens to be my guilty pleasure when it comes to celeb trainwrecks. For the fourth time since 2007, LiLo found out today that she does not get to pass go and goes straight to jail for violating her probation by stealing a necklace from a Venice jewelry shop.

“Lindsay has been remanded into custody and taken to the basement of the courthouse for booking. Lindsay’s lawyer has said she’ll appeal, which means Lindsay is entitled to post bail.”

Lohan was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service — 360 of those hours must be performed at the Downtown Women’s Center, so Lindsay can see how needy women have to live. The remaining 120 hours will be served at the L.A. County morgue.”

Judge Sautner explained that Lindsay should have called the store and notified the owners about the necklace sooner. She waited several weeks and returned the necklace after finding out the cops were about to raid her house.” [TMZ]

Pardon my language but the bitch can’t catch a break. Only famous person more prone to f*cking up would have to be Gucci Mane.

Do remember that K.R.I.T., Gibbs and DZA will be hitting NYC next Tuesday. Visit Southpaw’s site for ticketing info and full deets.

No word on if another impromptu basketball game will go down again. But if so, here’s a tip: bet on the homie Dutch. Read the rest of this entry »

Whether you credit the good folks over at Primitive’s keen eye or natural attraction for the inclusion of Alexis Lopez in the fold is a moot point. We are all better men and women for it. Showing that they are more than eye candy is another ballgame all together. Leveling out the playing field is what first class companies do and with their Spring 2011 campaign, Primitive Shoes look to prove their worth as the weather gets better.

Best known as Crooked I’s posse, the Horse Shoe G.A.N.G. attempts to break through on their own merits with Firing Squad. Unlike their previous effort, Firing Squad does not co-bill Crooked, emphasizing the focus on creating a new set of West Coast stars. While the collective rhyming efforts of G.A.N.G. members  Demitrius Capone, Julius Luciano, Kenny Siegel, and Andrew “Dice” Dinero are noteworthy, the album lacks the breakthrough single necessary to put this collective into the ears of even the dedicated Hip-Hop fan.

Good Friday can’t get much better when we’re getting both a relaxing day and new music from everybody’s favorite (or at least most feared) Uncle. Read the rest of this entry »

Raekwon’s Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang is über slept-on in the Wu kitchen, but in no way, shape or form is that a direct reflection on the quality ingredients sprinkled in his Twenty Eleven gumbo pot. Take the gruesome cinema of “Ferry Boat Killaz” for example. Picking up right where their killer collab “Surgical Gloves” left off, Rae and Alan The Chemist give the moonlight new energy without the association of a club. Read the rest of this entry »

The word “alternative” gets tossed around like a ragdoll these days, especially when the term is simply being used to describe music that’s a thinly-veiled variation of the same shit. Theo Martins doesn’t have any problem being himself, which directly results in the embodiment of a carefree musician excelling in his craft from the otherside of the tracks.

There’s really no way to dispute why people are so excited for Elzhi’s upcoming ELmatic mixtape. This highly-anticipated project has been talked about for quite some time now and features one of Hip-Hop’s most poetic pens reigniting beats from the genre’s crown jewel. The latest leak, “Detroit State Of Mind,” easily exemplifies why people rave over both the featured MC and his predecessor’s famed project. Read the rest of this entry »

The first leak off of Vakill’s Armor Of God album titled “Armorgeddon” produced by Jake One and, to be totally honest, I listened to thirty seconds and stopped. Rarely am I one to avoid leaks but I want to digest AOG as a whole once it drops instead of in bits and pieces. Read the rest of this entry »

On Good Friday, the video for Big Boi and Janelle’s hauntingly fantastic “Be Still” has finally been released for our enjoyment. As one of my favorites off of Big’s Sir Lucious Leftfoot, I find the video’s night theme fitting, seeing how this song always garnered repeat spins while I was cruising after sundown.

As the stronghold of Bay Area underground Hip-Hop, Zion I has never stepped on the mainstream stage despite creating several critically-acclaimed alternative albums in the last decade. Their desire to stay to true to their music and loyal to their fans is a great responsibility to them. Subsequently, it takes priority over any amount of money they could receive on any higher platform. Read the rest of this entry »

The music world needs more (dope) groups. None of that gimmicky, “hey-let’s-do-an-album-together-that-we-probably-won’t-ever-release” nonsense either (speaking of, anyone heard from Watch The Throne?). I’m talking about the group of individuals who knew each other when all they had was $100 and a demo tape to their names. Take Jagged Edge for instance. Read the rest of this entry »

As if Harrison Barnes wasn’t already adored on UNC’s campus for playing a huge part in this year’s Elite 8 run and announcing he’d return for his sophomore season, he goes and does something like this. Read the rest of this entry »

In their last video, G-Side traveled the universe. In their second, however, they have their feet firmly tethered to Earth. The visuals for “Came Up” are a close-up view of Athens, Alabama. No glowing lights, mysterious artifacts or exotic locales. Just a vision of an American city, beset by tough times. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m well aware there are diehard audiophiles out there but exactly who pays a stack for headphones? Obviously, I’m not the intended audience for these or headphones period since I only use earbuds and that’s mostly when traveling, Read the rest of this entry »
