A few weeks ago, a random appearance of an Ice Cube track brought a revitalized euphoria in many longtime fans but also shed light on the fact that since the explosion of online media, O’Shea Jackson has become less known for his musical achievements and more for his Hollywood endeavors. To many, Ice Cube ranks high on the all-time MC chart, which should go without question. But to several others, figuring out how this full-time actor, part-time rapper is truly a legendary has been a challenge, which is understandable as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Typically, the thought truly is what counts. See, I still haven’t checked my messages since my belated birthday, but when I got my buddy’s week removed e-mail reminder that he had played Mack 10′s seasonly-appropriate and BBQ-slathered “Backyard Boogie” for my surprise voicemail greeting, I was pleasantly surprised for having waited.

“I knew this girl who looked just like you…”

The Hon. Bro. O’Shea’s audio sex romp was the only song I could hear in my head for almost three hours yesterday morning. Funny thing is I remember when we used to try to memorize Flav’s verse as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow night’s debut of “Straight Outta L.A.”, which he directed. The new Are We There Yet? TV series set to hit TBS in June. A possible biopic in the works to trace the history of “The World’s Most Dangerous Group,” N.W.A. Even though he’s got his hands deep in movies and TV, Cube still finds time to rep that West musically. Chucks, Lakers gear, drop-top lowriders…and sombreros. Read the rest of this entry »

How could anyone forget what side Ice Cube claims? As he goes into his fourth decade of making noise in the rap game? Oh yeah…this. O.K. so he has a few side ventures that are a sharp contrast from Death Certificate, but the legacy still lives on as long as he continues to book studio time. Read the rest of this entry »

Not in the literal sense obviously. Otherwise, I’d be telling this tale from beyond like Tiger’s dad.  Nah, this is a little different. Everyday after sundown since Easter has gotten progressively worse for me, not in a drastic way, but to the point where you say to yourself “What Next?” Kind of like John Calipari waiting to see who all was going to follow Wall and Cousins to the next level.

Out of all of Hip-Hop’s pioneers, I’m thankful Ice Cube is still making music. Scratch that. We ALL should be thankful Ice Cube is still making music. Most rappers that were thriving in Golden Era (roughly 1988-1994) are merely shells of shells their former selves; looking foolish trying to keep up with their younger counterparts.

Not sure if this picture is legit or Photoshop’ed, but I like it. Another thing I like is overly aggressive and angry tracks from two of Hollywood’s most notorious Hip-Hoppers. If I were you, I wouldn’t say anything negative about these two dudes.

Ever.

Orchestrated by DJ’s Whoo Kid, Skee & Scream alongside RadioPlanet.TV, it apparently takes more than two (blunts) for Snoop to make the I Wanna Rock Mixtape go right. Nevertheless, the project consists of exclusive familiar material from Tha Doggfather’s upcoming album Malice N Wonderland as well as input from fellow West Coasters such as Ice Cube and Nipsey Hussle.
