The more I hear about Windows 8, the more of a believer I’m becoming. When it drops in September, Microsoft’s newest OS will continue what Apple began, and bring the touchscreen from the phone to the home in a bold way that its arch rival has been hesitant to do. But before the revolution becomes computerized, Microsoft is dropping sneak peaks of some of the standout features Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know bout you guys, but I’ve spent the last few weeks playing Rich Forever over and over again. And I mention this because these days a staying power of more than one week is just magnificent. Read the rest of this entry »

While much of the world is blazing a birthday blunt in memory of Bob Marley today, who’s more qualified than Smoke DZA to release a tribute song to reggae’s fallen warrior? However, “Marley’s Garden” isn’t a sad remembrance at all. Read the rest of this entry »

Jon Connor’s Season 2 mixtape was definitely one of the best, most snoozed on tapes from last year, but instead of dwelling in the past, the Flint rapper is keeping it moving with his next endeavor, The Blue Album. It’s going to be a project that takes things in a slightly different direction by picking and choosing a few beats from Jay-Z Blueprint trilogy and then doing what he does best – annihilating them.

Yeah, SL Jones seems to be the least discussed member of the Grind Time Rap Gang, but talk is cheap. Don’t think for a second that this cat can’t hold his own weight in bars just because he isn’t living off of hype. He dropped three excellent projects last year, and he doesn’t plan on slowing down any time soon. Need further evidence before you stop snoozing? Read the rest of this entry »

Jeezy started off Thug Motivation 103 with a stellar trifecta of songs that was capped off with “OJ” featuring New York lyricists Fabolous and Jadakiss. The record’s superior quality has it resting comfortable up near the top of TM103 and is accordingly one of my favorites from the album (but of course nothing comes close to Freddie’s lethal verse from “.38″).

As Hip-Hop continues to evolve by gaining more and more influence from electronic music, the focus on lyricism seems to be lifting once again. But on “Strange Clouds (Remix),” ATL comes together and puts on a lyrical theater for the whole world to watch. Read the rest of this entry »

Saigon’s much-anticipated follow up to GSNT dropped earlier this week without much fanfare, probably the way the NY emcee preferred. The mixtape is very different from last year’s top-seeded album, with many experimental records that the average listener wouldn’t really peg a rapper like Saigon to make.

When Peyton Manning underwent his neck surgery and missed this season there probably wasn’t a soul who thought that he might have thrown his final touchdown for the Colts. Yet the chances of that being the case grows exponentially with each passing day. Read the rest of this entry »

The final stats from fourth quarter smartphone sales are in. Reuters reports that the iPhone had a phenomenal end of the year and accordingly doubled its share to 44.9% of the market, just squeaking by Android’s 44.8%. Everyone else, clocked in third place with dismal scores of 9.3% for BlackBerry and 2% for Windows Phone. Read the rest of this entry »

Man, I swear Game dissed Soujla Boy at some point in his career, but I guess rap memories are fleeting. Either that or Jayceon has released too many diss records to keep track of. All bullsh*t aside, the first minute of this song is excellent. Read the rest of this entry »

Oakland’s Mistah F.A.B. has long been one of Hip-Hop’s most renowned freestylers, an art where there is almost nobody else who can match him. However, his latest album, I Found My Backpack 2: The Lost Notebook, shows that strong off-the-top bars don’t always translate into the successful crafting of a complete album.

As most have heard by now, Apple’s next ambitious goal is to take over the textbook industry. But in case you missed yesterday’s big announcement, it’s pretty self-explanatory: Apple plans to provide a platform for publishers to create a more interactive approach to teaching Read the rest of this entry »

Back up in this motherf*ckin’ b*tch once again
