Maino - “Let’s Make A Movie” Video

Tomorrow has come and gone, but Maino continues to soldier on.  On his slept-on debut, this was one of the songs that didn’t seem to fit the overall theme of the album. But after seeing this it seems to fit in a little better.

“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny...

Video: Wale & J. Cole Freestyle @ Denny’s

Touring isn’t what it used to be. I told you that they weren’t letting anyone backstage @ the BP3 show and J. Cole spoke on how there weren’t any groupies gettin’ their back out as far as he could see. Bummer. I think we all grow up having wet dreams where floozy after floozy...

LMFAO Feat. Lil Jon - “Shots” Video

I give credit to LMFAO. Their off-brand of party pop isn’t the most provocative, but these California keg-killers have tapped into our societal cash cow with their knack for situational song writing. After their ingenious idea to custom-make hometown hit(s) with “I’m In (Insert Your...

“Thelonious Hands…”

In the grand scheme of things, I’d love to go down as one of the greatest documentary filmers this culture has ever witnessed. Will I get there or not remains to be seen. However, the ability to craft a story through film and words has always intrigued me, so whenever a quality piece presents itself,...

Juvenile’s well past the legal age, but he’s still using the moniker and still going to be on radio courtesy of “We Be Getting Money,” the lead single from his upcoming album featuring Dorrough, Shawty Lo & Kango Slim. Although the man belongs to the man who made 400 Degreez,...

Phil Adé - “Hollywood” Video

Now pardon the tardiness on this here post, but I’m in a DC-type of mood given the requisite listening of the recent release from one Mr. Folarin (the numbers don’t look good, but hopefully they pick up given the offering was the best ’09 debut this side of Fashawn’s Boy Meets World).

Black Sheep - “Forever LuvLee” Video

Keeping it low budget but “LuveLee” and modest to match the lyrical content, Dres provides the reading while the cameras take us through the streets of New York. Since I’ve already decided that me and this song go well together, given it’s grounded stance, I like the laidback...

Beyonce & Lady Gaga Play Phone Tag

In these times when even the megastars have to claw and scratch for their numbers, it comes at no surprise that some of the oddest pairings imaginable spring up to shift some of the buzz back in their favor. When it comes to Pop music’s reigning queen and outlaw Beyonce and Lady Gaga, their sales...

YelaWolf - “Pop the Trunk”

It’s great when an artist is consistent. Most rappers finding their way in this confusing industry seem to have an agenda to release so much music that everybody knows their name, even if those listeners can’t name specific songs. Sometimes, it works out perfectly and garners positive attention,...

Video: Alicia Keys Debuts “Empire State Of Mind II”

There’s something about that damn city. While watching the above clip of my wife debuting part two of “Empire State Of Mind” last night during a live performance in Tribeca, I began to reflect on what made New York so great to so many.
