Waka Flocka’s pre-album rollout has been extremely entertaining. Not for the actual music quality because meh, but for the hilarious song titles. “Rooster In My Rari” is about a car in the back of the whip, but the other possibilities are endless. Read the rest of this entry »

Every city I’ve been to has its unique food that I can’t quite understand even though the locals swear by it. In Chicago, it was those damned hot dogs with all the vegetables on them. In North Carolina, it was the donkey piss known as Cheerwine. In New Orleans, it’s the local monument Chinese Kitchen. Read the rest of this entry »

There are few different ways to go when creating a memorable bad guy. You can go with the villain that truly believes what he’s doing is right. While he’s using diabolical tactics, he truly feels like he’s doing what’s best for himself and society. Think Magneto, the X-Men villain who’s captivated for 50 years based on his belief that he’s doing what’s best for mutants. He provides moral dilemmas and even makes you question your own values and what you would do in his situation. Read the rest of this entry »

You win some. You lose some. It’s an age-old adage. While we all like to pretend we’re tough guys, even the baddest mofos on the planet catch good old-fashioned passionate ass whoopings if they get caught slipping. Read the rest of this entry »

Rap has become what basketball was between 1999 and 2001 during the AND1 Mixtape era. Back then every city had enough dope ballers to make a formidable team. If you took the best players from Omaha they’d probably give the best ballers from NYC a run for their money. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s honestly really difficult to come up with different ways to say that Slaughterhouse can really rap. Really well. For their most recent exhibition, the rap game Dangerous Alliance came through to bless one of Hip-Hop’s best beats “What We Do.” Not sure if Just Blaze heard this, but the freestyle should be a rallying cry for him to get in the studio with these guys Read the rest of this entry »

“I’m blowing sticky Dragonball the same color as Piccolo”

Remember our diamond in the rough Don Dada? Well he’s back to bless us with more lyrical gems, including a Dragonball Z reference. Which is easily the greatest thing ever because I imagine Dada and his cronies whipping up work and breaking out into “ohhh sh*t Goku f*cked the Ginyu Force the f*ck up, yo!” Read the rest of this entry »

Basically, the next week of NBA basketball is pretty irrelevant.

It seems like I make this argument every year, but it never gets old and David Stern hasn’t listened, so here we go: one of the worst, most greedy decisions David Stern has ever made has been to extend the first round of the playoffs to best-of-seven series. If you want any evidence why, look no further than this year’s first round. Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe I’m jaded, but the thought of a concept album in rap is not that appealing to me. They’re rarely executed well and tend to be more pretentious than anything. However, I was excited to hear Mickey’s new project if only just to get a full body of work from him after what seemed like a long break. And, unsurprisingly, Factz does a bang up job with his Mickey MauSe mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

If you threw out the age-old question “what are you doing this weekend?” to a colleague on your way out of work yesterday, a likely response was “probably going to check out Avengers.” Of course, some of us already beat you to the punch by catching the midnight showing on Thursday night while others made their way to watch on Friday.

Say what you want about Barry Obeezy. You can’t deny the fact that he’s a man of conviction. Want proof? Look no further than the fact that he gives no damns if Black people haven’t been fist bumping since 1992; he’ll still bump fists with people like it’s the newest, cool move on the block.

You ever had people make fun of you and even though it really hurt your feelings but you had no choice but to laugh along to make it seem like you were in on the joke, too? So you end up doing some weird laugh-choke-back-tears combo? Well, Brian McKnight just did that. Read the rest of this entry »

When I saw the details about this song, I laughed hysterically for a few reasons.

1. Waka Flocka’s album is called Triple F. My initial guess was that it stood for “F*ck, Fight, Flip Out” or something. Instead it stands for “Fans Friends Family.” Really? Is this a rap album or a Lifetime movie? Read the rest of this entry »

At this point, denying A$AP’s rise to superstardom is pretty futile. He’s got an insane cult following with legitimate skill to back it up. And now we can erase the questions about his ability to create an actual hit to make him a household name. “Goldie” is an undeniable banger and the video is just as stunning. Be prepared to see this on 106, TRL, Caribbean Rhythms or whatever it is the kids watch these days. *shakes cane*

+1 for that Commes de F*** Down skully too.

Sad news out of California as TMZ is reporting that Junior Seau was found dead in his California home. This just in, so details are sketchy and rumors are going to be flying in by the minute. But Seau was allegedly found by his maid with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

The Chargers have released a statement: “Everyone at the Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now…We ask everyone to stop what they’re doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family.”

Unfortunately, it’ll only be a matter of time before Seau’s death will only be a catalyst for more concussion debate and lawsuits from former players. But, let’s take some time before all of that happens to remember a stand-up guy, beast of a football player and one of the baddest men on the planet during his time as a San Diego Charger through the 90s.

R.I.P. to the Seau and prayers up for the family.
