Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice? Not so easy. The last time I neglected to give Spitta’s attempt at attacking an industry instrumental a listen I was forced to apologize. Knowing now what I wish I knew then, the opportunity to right my wrongs presented itself yesterday and was immediately perched atop the priority list.

Nesby Phips – “Word To These Bo Jacksons” Video

MUSIC VIDEO December 9, 2010 | By Gotty™ | 3 Comments

Let’s examine the factors here. Nesby’s dope song title paired with the N’awlins drawl? Ski’s immaculate beat conceptions which make every rapper sound like a gifted wordsmith? My infinite attraction to Trainer SC’s as one of the greatest sneakers of all-time?

T.I. Feat. Rick Ross – “Pledge Allegiance To The Swag” Video

MUSIC VIDEO December 8, 2010 | By J. Tinsley | 11 Comments

First things first and before we get into this video, credit to the word “swag” for having a shelf life longer than anyone could have ever predicted. The more people claim that it’s dead, the more the term is actually used – in the same [...]

The iPod Shuffle – “What Means The World To You”

GENERAL December 8, 2010 | By Gotty™ | 23 Comments

We’re a long way removed from “What Means…” making early appearances on Clue? tapes. Still, can’t help but feel a certain way when the bouncing bassline comes through the speakers, making Sting even have to move his shoulders while listening the way “Roxanne” got freaked.

Video: Blu Comes Out Of Hibernation In Portland

GENERAL December 8, 2010 | By TC | 9 Comments

The “Blu, O brother where art thou?” references will no longer be needed now that our favorite Lost Angelean is on the go. Carefully plotting his next maneuvers on the hush, the untapped prodigy in Blu recently tested out some new material for a crowd [...]

“Long Gone” – Review Of Nelly’s 5.0

ALBUM REVIEWS December 8, 2010 | By Patrick M. | 9 Comments

Software release versions are supposed to signal some sort of advancement or rebirth, perhaps new features or capabilities that weren’t present in older, simpler versions. Such is not the case with Nelly’s 5.0, an alleged “upgrade” completely devoid of innovation, growth or risk-taking from the [...]

“Club Can’t Handle Me” – Review Of Flo Rida’s Only One Flo (Part 1)

ALBUM REVIEWS December 8, 2010 | By TC | 12 Comments

Flo Rida’s relationship with Hip-Hop is parallel to the ones found in the social structure of high school. Whereas the pretty and popular can go on to be overweight, public servants, the modest members of the student body tend to venture out for notable impacts [...]

JFK Feat. Freddie Gibbs – “Mike Vick”

AUDIO December 8, 2010 | By Raj | 8 Comments

Michael Vick has unquestionably been one of the (few) great storylines of the 2010 NFL season. In my eyes, it was a miracle in itself that he was able to just make the 53-man roster, but he then went on to one up that by [...]

Diddy Is Bout A Double Scoop Of Vanilla

Everything Else December 8, 2010 | By TC | 12 Comments

Twitter may have panned his SNL performance; and rightfully so. Diddy’s strongest platform is of the nonmusical persuasion; directly communicating to the people without any audio derailing his swagger. He’s a reality TV star and one of the best the culture has ever seen. So [...]

Vic Mensa – “Run”

AUDIO December 8, 2010 | By MZ | 4 Comments

Vic Mensa may be the one in school, but he’s the one handing out late passes each time he steps out the booth. Mine was served last week with his group’s “My Days” video. Therefore I reacted quickly when “Run” popped up in the inbox.
