“I got my mind on my money while I’m clocking dough
I kill that show then I’m adiós
I’m walking the talk that you’re talking about
Gotta n*gga feeling like the man in the town
The n*ggas that was lost, understanding me now Read the rest of this entry »

For his diehards, Cham puts together a few tracks and delivers them gift wrapped as Badazz Freemixes. Traclisting and link after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Hustlers, ballers, gangstas and thugstas take heed. If rap don’t work, the Bogus Boys will be back on their Chicago bullshit, outfitting the hood in the freshest fabrics and extorting NBA players to meet their demands. Read the rest of this entry »

The first time I heard Sadat X was on the original version of Biggie’s “Come On.” I was rummaging through one of my uncle’s cassette mixtapes and even through all its pop and hiss glory, I knew his voice was distinctive to stand out on any track. Of course he was already a pillar in Brand Nubian and went on to have a substantial career in this thing called Hip-Hop. Read the rest of this entry »

Unfortunately, we were only able to hear Stalley add his talents to MMG’s Self Made on one track (“Runnin’ Rebels”), but the band marches forward regardless. To celebrate the momentous day, the Ohio native and his brother-in-beats Rashad tossed out a freebie for the masses. Read the rest of this entry »

If you thought one of the most rebellious, stonewalled phrases of the English language couldn’t be made into a dance hit, I’d like to introduce you to Aaron LaCrate and Webby’s roped-off V.I.P. area. When they give Gorilla Zoe access, it’s an all-out, bottle poppin’, ass-shaking, rompfest that’s sure to have any club looking like a Third World country by night’s end.

I’m far from a techie but my senses tell me Sony either pissed on the wrong hacker’s Cheerios or they have a gaping security hole.

“Hackers just can’t seem to leave Sony alone. Following the month-long PlayStation Network attack and more recent attacks on Sony’s Thailand and Japan sites, the company’s Greece music site has been attacked, reports security firm Sophos.”

This hack is slightly more severe than the attack on Sony’s Thailand site, which just redirected users to a phishing site. It’s more reminiscent of the PlayStation Network attack, where hackers were able to steal personal user data and credit card information — pretty much the worst-case scenario for any company.”

At this point, it’s pretty clear that hackers are targeting all of Sony’s sites and services, no matter how obscure. Sony should anticipate this and have the security of all of its sites double and triple-checked. As Sophos points out, that will likely cost less than fixing exploits after the fact, not to mention dealing with the fallout of yet another security failure.” [Venture Beat]

New Orleans may be the only city in the continental United States that I love more than Detroit, and if I lived any closer than a country-length away I would get married there. I’ve spent a grand total of three nights and four days within its watered borders, but its vibrant food, people, art and music have breathed lasting life into me and my relationship. And it’s where my significant other and I began to imagine and discuss what we wanted from and for our marriage. Read the rest of this entry »

SL’s team has done everything in the most exact and easiest ways to encourage taking a listen to The Number 23, which just released today. Great primer tracks leading up to the release? Yes, “Swervin’,” “Paper Cuts” and other quality tunes cover that department. Read the rest of this entry »

Around the Gotty™ household, we were watching last night’s game at the dinner table. In live action, we witnessed…

1. Joakim Noah’s attempted rebound which was called a foul.

2. The replay.

3. Noah taking a spot on the bench immediately after and then turning to mouth a few unmentionable words to a fan. Read the rest of this entry »

All good things have an expiration date and Entourage is no different. Over the past seven years, the show has found a cozy niche in the pop culture landscape with its relevancy and overwhelming theme of camaraderie. Every group of friends has envisioned of being “the real life Entourage” at least once. They make money, get wasted, have lots of sex and settle down with women like Sloan.

When Boozer stated the Heat only had two great players, anyone with half a brain assumed the statement to be a slight to Chris Bosh. Apparently Bosh has half a brain and used Boozer’s pre-series shot to fuel his play. In Game 1, he tossed in 30 points and delivered again last night with 34 points Read the rest of this entry »

Unfortunately, they were outranked by Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals and a new Breakout Kings episode. Thankfully, I didn’t have to watch the awards show since Twitter pretty much gave clues to the high points Read the rest of this entry »
