GLC – “Reach For The Top” Video

02.09.12 Written by Beware

There are a lot of rappers who say that they’re going to drop a video for every song on their project, but never even come close. GLC, on the other hand, was smart enough to never make such a bold claim, but still happens to be knocking down visuals for his Eternal Sunshine Of The Pimpin Mind mixtape like automated gophers at Chuck E. Cheese, regardless. Read the rest of this entry »

GLC – “Jesse Owens” Video

12.30.11 Written by Beware

Even though this engaging visual for GLC’s “Jesse Owens” has nothing to do with the Steve Miller Band, this very easily could’ve been the music video for their song “Take The Money And Run.” However, instead of guitars and hand claps, Chicago’s minister of Ism and director Terrance Jones turn Eternal Sunshine Of The Pimpin Mind’s ode to the Olympic track & field runner into a heist seemingly gone awry Read the rest of this entry »

GLC – “What This Ism Do” Video

12.18.11 Written by TC

The Ism is a person, place or thing a.k.a. a noun. The Ism told Jean Baptiste Point du Sable to make a right when he was to eventually discover Chicago. The Ism was walking with Tiger when he finally decided to start winning again. The Ism can be gasless and even odorless, but never without power. Read the rest of this entry »

GLC – Eternal Sunshine Of The Pimpin Mind Mixtape

12.07.11 Written by Beware

While I’m sure GLC has been laying down his pimp hand since preschool, it’s really only been about the past year or so that we’ve become accustomed to the “Spaceship”-traveling Chicagoan completely adopting the “Ism” mantra. Read the rest of this entry »

Loosies: Jet Life Lands, Jon Connor Moves, Hoodie Allen & Com Truise

11.29.11 Written by Beware

Since Jet World Order has finally landed at your local retailers, it was only right we gave a little more incentive to get in the whip and pick up a copy. Or, if you already hit play on this hazy dedication to hard work, you may be so zoned, downloading from iTunes is probably be the better idea. Read the rest of this entry »

“Kush & Corinthians” – Review Of Kendrick Lamar’s Section.80

07.27.11 Written by TSSCrew


How many rappers today are renown first and foremost for their ability to rap? Not for the company they keep, hit record they may have had or who they may sound like, but strictly for their adeptness as a lyrical orator? Not many. Which is why Kendrick Lamar is such an intriguing commodity in the rap’s current climate. He’s been likened to the legendary Dr. Dre and it is unclear who is co-signing who at this point.

Phil Adé – A Different World Mixtape

07.19.11 Written by J. Tinsley

One of my favorite episodes of Everybody Hates Chris was when he made the wrestling team. Long story short, he did so because he believed having a letterman jacket would allow him to experience a different world socially. The same can be said, somewhat, about the DMV’s own Phil Adé.

Boaz – The Transition

05.18.11 Written by TC

There’s a fine line between transformations and transitions, one that Boaz has keyed in on to become the focal point of his career in 2011. Most thirsty rappers would rather see an overnight makeshift. One that would have them looking like the act that’s a step in front of them. Yet Boaz maintains his hungriness–as exhibited on the !illmind-produced “Do It For Ya,” for example–to motivate his hustle. Read the rest of this entry »

Fly.Union Feat. GLC – “Top Of The World”

03.11.11 Written by Gotty™

Somehow along the way, Fly.U gets left out of the “rising artists” discussion. Hell, they’re forgotten when notable acts from Ohio are mentioned. However, my gut instinct tells me that will change as they take to the road more – including hitting our PA stage – and once The Greater Than Club releases. Read the rest of this entry »

Freddie Gibbs & GLC – “Head Of The Heads,” Live On “Last Call With Carson Daly”

03.02.11 Written by Raj

While Gibbs was rapping his heart out at Troubadour in L.A., I was roughly two hours away give or take some change depending on the local Orange County traffic. So close, yet still so far. Seeing Freddie perform live has been perched near the top of my to-do list for awhile now, but it wasn’t meant to be this time around. Read the rest of this entry »
