David Stern previously stated that today’s meetings could determine whether the NBA will have Christmas Day. But are we really setting ourselves up for an NBA season that looks all but washed away at this point? Who holds more blame in this situation: Players, owners or all interested parties?

There are plenty of takes on A Tribe Called Quest’s nostalgic salience—some of which sound more like PhD dissertations than actual music commentary. However, Tribe’s impact isn’t that complicated to grasp, even if some want it to be. The collective was just a very, very good group whose sound resonated with a lot of people.

I really don’t understand how or why fans are still running up on Cudi after he’s proven time and time again that he doesn’t play around. At a weekend show at Temple University, a rowdy fan officially went viral after hopping on stage while Cudi was performing. Read the rest of this entry »

The most money I’ve ever found on the ground was five bucks at a gas station. However, if I were hypothetically a working girl and happened to be getting down with $hort Dogg and E-Feezy, the amount of “Money On The Floor” I’d be picking up would probably keep my utilities on.

“My circle getting small, my legend growing bigger, And I’m yet to reach my apex, go figure.”

The fall season is producing lots of music from Little Brother, albeit solo efforts instead of as a group. With 9th and Phonte’s joints already in stores, Pooh’s completing the circle with his Dirty Pretty Things dropping on November 1st. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night, Wale was in the ‘Ville for a performance at Limelight (dope show, FYI).

Miguel’s not exactly the most convincing artist in terms of proving he doesn’t bat for the other team. But the fact remains his album was pretty damn fresh and, really, that’s all that matters. Whether planned or not, Big Sean jumps on the “official remix” to “Quickie,” 2011′s highly popular ode to getting in and getting out and getting on with the rest of your day.

Though Fabby Davis Jr. has long been making noise in the Bay Area, his recent flurry of delightfully, face-cringing freestyles has been steadily expanding his buzz to the national radar. And now on “Probably the Greatest,” he’s traveling East with Jadakiss and N.O.R.E. to put other areas on on alert as well.

But regardless, it’s good to see the Oakland rapper getting some well-deserved shine because the man has really tapped into his deep well of raw talent as of late.
