“I Reek Of Being The Man…”

Brett Farve did it. Jordan did it. Hell, even Jesus is supposed to do it. So doesn’t it make sense that Jesus’ older brother and idol, Ric Flair, is coming out of retirement too?

“So Get Backstage, I’m Here To Take The Stage Back”

Donny Goines Live @ A3C from The Smoking Section on Vimeo. Donny Goines refuses to fail. Success in Hip-Hop has become increasingly elusive. Whether one aims to attain critical acclaim, 15 minutes of fame or commercial success, it’s no longer as straightforward as it may have once been.

Chicago Olympics… FAIL

I’m not a Chicago native. And frankly, I don’t even know if having the Olympics would have been the economic boost this city needs. Past hosts such as Montreal (1976!) are still paying off crushing debts while London’s budget keep rising for 2012. In truth, this entire push for the Olympiad...

Bun B x Phatkaps In-Store Performance

Strange time for an event. I mean, my homeboy asked me would I be there but @ 3 o’clock on a Tuesday I’ll be sitting in the car-rider’s lane @ my daughter’s school. I ain’t Hip-Hop; I’m a family man. But, if you’ve got time to spare & you’re in Cashvegas,...

Video: Jay-Z’s Answer The Call Concert

In case you missed it & don’t want to wait for Sunday’s replay on Fuse, Yardie’s got the rip split into two videos instead of the 4-8 different compiled clips I’ve seen elsewhere. The overwhelming response has been positive & most parties agree that minus a few songs...

Tanya Morgan Live In Chi-Town!!!

Generally posting flyers to artist’s events is futile information seeing that readers could be countries away from the location. But Brooklynati’s very own seem to have solved the problem is with new wave digital strategy.

“Partyin’ & Fashion” - Sneaker Pimps Chicago

Let’s start with… The Bad: Sneaker conventions are weird. I don’t understand the appeal of hanging out at a club during the night with a bunch of other dudes to converse and pick out shoes. I swear, I almost snuffed some frost-fondling, soft serve sucker for rolling up on me and asking me...
