If Hugh Hefner paid anything close to a million for Lindsay Lohan to pose in the buff for Playboy, I hope he obtained a receipt or gets to write it off on his taxes. The word all along was the spread would be a tasteful and Marilyn Monroe-inspired, which arguably could be viewed as a safety net in case the issue flopped. Read the rest of this entry »

When Skotch Davis asks “Are You Hearing Me Clearly?” it’s more of a rhetorical than a traditional question. In fact, the phrase feels more like a command delivered in the same authoritative tone Skotch uses on the mic. While the skilled MC has been buzzin’ on the under for a while, he’s looking to raise his profile before releasing his debut, ON MY GRIZZLY (OMG). Read the rest of this entry »

“Two fingers is all in your hole, think I can fit three?”

I love the way there’s no connection going on within this song. Nothing – not the song title, the intro, the verses, the chorus, nada – seems to be related Read the rest of this entry »

“What a day. What a mothaf*ckin’ day.” - ‘Alonzo,’ “Training Day”

We’ll all remember December 8, 2011, as the day the NBA set the sports world and Twitter ablaze. Teams wheeled and dealed with some even making drastic improvements to their rosters, yet Chris Paul’s blockbuster trade to the Lakers was the most celebrated news of the day, as it should have been.

While I love when Three 6′s Juicy J and his production partner DJ Paul create the type of riot-inciting, elbow-throwing, mosh pit music they shut down clubs throughout the south with for years.
