The acting bug doesn’t have enough venom it its fangs to keep Unc L from doing what’s his heart, which, is obviously make songs that the fellas can feel and the ladies will love. Read the rest of this entry »

David Stern hasn’t confirmed it publicly, but every every NBA fan’s nightmare appears to be fully realized. There will be no 2011-2012 NBA season. The nasty back-and-forth between the NBAPA and the league’s owners hit a new low today as the union will promptly begin disbanding, per ESPN. Read the rest of this entry »

I know the melodrama that you speak of, Murs. This past summer, I had some asshole ex-girlfriend call me out of the clear blue to invite me out for some ice cream and when I responded back hours later to ask what the hell was that all about, she threatened to call the cops if I texted her again. (Yeah, I texted – not called – her back, f*ck her lol.) Read the rest of this entry »

Traditionally, every Christmas, my parents serve mimosas to kick off the holiday morning. However, that’s about the only time I indulge in the champagne and OJ cocktail over the course of the year. And, weed, well…I’ve never heard of that. Laolo and Mr. International Jones, on the other hand, they’re quite familiar with this cushy combo of “Marijuana & Mimosas.” Read the rest of this entry »

The term “Post-Dilla” gets thrown around a lot. It’s entirely generic, as anything that sounds even remotely similar (i.e. electronic) gets grouped into the omnipresent category. Throw Stones Throw artist Jonti into the “Post-Dilla” blender, but don’t pigeonhole his track “Hornets Nest” to a shallow description. Read the rest of this entry »

Delonte West is a leader, not a follower. It’s the exact reason why he picked up a “real job” during the lockout. So while David Stern attempted to win public support with a live Twitter Q&A session last night, Delonte took to his account to provide an introspective look at what goes through the mind of one of the league’s more controversial players.

Streetwear often pulls from pop culture and current events to create cashflow by selling products customers easily identify with.

It’s only a few days after the release of his latest project, Success Served Cold, and Donny Goines is upset. That’s right, the New Yorker’s a tad mad he recorded multiple records worth of material for this street LP, but people are still classifying it as a mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier this year, Lil B announced he was gay and now his latest public disservice announcement is revealing he “got” AIDS. Correlation, coincidence or desperate promo for his new mixtape, Basedgod Velli? Read the rest of this entry »

This is odd. Considering most of Drake’s music focuses on his adversion to everything awesome, like his lavish lifestyle and static cling towards females with fake asses, you’d assume YMCMB’s crossover crooner would actually prefer a bed to himself. But, despite Drizzle’s penchant for pouting, he does indeed “Hate Sleeping Alone.” Read the rest of this entry »

And just when you thought the adulation for Jay-Z couldn’t reach higher heights, GQ Magazine has included Jiggaman in their esteemed “Men Of The Year” list and even crowned him “King.” Read the rest of this entry »

Mental toughness was the order of the day in Week 10. In a losing effort, Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton was the thorn in Pittsburgh’s side for most of the day before finally catching a late fourth-quarter interception bug. Matthew Stafford and Ryan Fitzpatrick both fell into early ruts and never recovered, blowing huge games for their respective teams. The early-season surprise stories are finally getting put back into place of expected mediocrity. Read the rest of this entry »

A few weeks back, before the Cardinals pulled off the greatest two-game winning streak in my lifetime, I noted one of the provocative storylines centered around the impending free agency gold rush the offseason would present. And just like the NBA during the summer of 2010, an unshakable feeling of something major going down lingers in the air. Read the rest of this entry »

A little bit of conversation can go a long way. While indulging in free everything at our BBMs & BBQ picnic at A3C, I started small talk with an up & coming MC, named Will Brennan. After briefly discussing where we grew up and in turn our penchant for the fast flow, this West Palm Beach talent casually asked if I wouldn’t mind listening to his material.
