If you felt like you didn’t have any incentive to download Havoc’s From Now On mixtape, he’s looking to give you plenty with his latest clip. Read the rest of this entry »

Equipped with a Canada Dry, a bag of chips and a fitted cap to match, a then-free Max B holds a “concert” of sorts after leaving a court hearing only days before his conviction. With his sentencing coming next week, it might be safe to say this is the last footage we’ll see of Hip-Hop’s most notorious crooner for quite sometime. It’s a damn shame too. I liked homie’s music for the most part. Now if he actually did the crime, then ol’ Charly Wingate (that’s Max) is up the creek without a paddle.

However, what I’m really pissed about is the fact he and French Montana won’t be making any more hilarious YouTube clips. In my eyes, those two were the real life (and slightly more urban) Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. You know, had Tom and Huck smoked weed and sipped Grand Cru for a living. Whether it was stalking Jimmy outside the studio, clowning Hell Rell (“That n*gga Hell Rell mother look like Freeway.” — Max) or just random music videos, they were entertaining if they weren’t anything else. Just another sad reality of how all good things in life eventually run their course.

FYI, the song he was “performing” was the “Ready To Ride” remix off his latest mixtape, Public Domain 6: Walking The Plank.

P.S. I’d be remiss if I didn’t post arguably my favorite Max B clip. Here, “the wavy one” speaks his “run-in” with Roxy Reynolds. Yeah, THAT Roxy Reynolds.

With the constant attention last year’s XXL freshman class continues to get, much abandonment has befell on the original 10 that were knighted as the wave of the future. While most have relinquished their buzz, Atlanta rhyme animal Gorilla Zoe continues to King Kong the game with his unique brand of Hip-Hop. Still rattling cages from his latest album Don’t Feed The Animals, Zoe breaks down his grind which includes a movie by the same name as his album, his humanitarian work and why you can never write him off as a gimmick.

As Zoe speaks with the Crew’s TC, read to find out why the animal is still hungry.

TSS: So you made a noticeable 180° with the new album [Don't Feed The Animals] from “Hood Nigga” and some of your other material. What inspired the turnaround?

Gorilla Zoe: Well everybody wants to make better music, you feel me? I can make “Hood Nigga” in my sleep. But it was more like “Can I make real music? Can I create subject matter? How far can I stretch?” Anybody can make hood music or club records, that’s not hard. But can you make music that touch people’s souls. That’s what I was out to do. I have a new lane I’m creating.

TSS: Are you worried about alienating your established fanbase with the new directions?

Gorilla Zoe: Hell nah, they’ll just have to play catch up.

TSS: It’s safe to say “Lost” took everybody by surprise. You actually have days like that?

Gorilla Zoe: Oh yeah, I think it’s safe to say everybody has days like that.

TSS: Why did Lil’ Wayne get cut from the song?

Gorilla Zoe: Politics. Little label shit. They choose and pick want they want to release.

TSS: And the title Don’t Feed The Animals doubles for the album and the movie. What does that mean exactly?

Gorilla Zoe: It basically means don’t give them niggas no money. It’s a post warning. Feed as in food actually means the money. And it’s post because I already got the money but once you taste success, you want more success and that’s what it is.

TSS: The [Don't Feed The Animals] chain is one of the most creative pieces we’ve seen in a while but the buzz on the Internet is everybody’s curious what it’s made out of and some were saying it was just plastic. Read the rest of this entry »

No Roxy sighting in this video. Instead Murs borrows his uncle’s suit to kick to the bollistics in yet another video for Murs For President. This has to be Read the rest of this entry »

I guess partnering with Zune got Murs enough cheddar to keep dropping video after video.

And to imagine, Roxy did this to him. At least she bought him Kind Of Blue.

Zoo’s put up warning signs to patrons about not feeding animals to protect both them and the animals they view. On one end it protects them from the animals acting on their primal tendencies and keeps the zoo somewhat in control of the animals through the feeding schedule. Gorilla Zoe, a rapper indigenous to Atlanta, plays on this concept on his sophomore album Don’t Feed Da Animals. Seeking to portray himself as a vicious rhyme animal, he comes off sounding lethargic as he can’t decide whether to keep catering to the streets or expand his artistic scope past self absorbing topics.
