– The world seems to be in working order, but we still want those questions answered. While you’re at it, the BET Awards ones too. Read the rest of this entry »

The Smoking Section Crew is all about giving the music sent our way a clean eardrum whether it’s a review or a quick music post we throw up. With new music becoming more and more commonplace, the proper digestion period has become a thing of the past. Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator has a unique situation considering the fact that, exactly a year ago, he was releasing free music like the rest of contemporaries. Read the rest of this entry »

– In news that flew under the radar, some guy named Osama Bin Laden was killed.

– Tins took us on a trip down memory lane, showing us five of Pac’s most memorable interviews and reminding us of a playoff series for the ages. Read the rest of this entry »

Frank Ocean’s appearance will lure many into checking out “She,” slated to be the second single off Goblin. But rest assured, Odd Future’s frontman Tyler makes sure that even his tales of caring are bugged out love affairs. Read the rest of this entry »

“Plan on either dying from suicide or my asthma, And being the only bastard buried in a box logo casket”

Odd Future’s everywhere, as depicted in the picture above. As unavoidable as their presence is I still contend they’re worth watching. Maybe not deserving of the huge preoccupation and pats on the back as most have given them but that’s the way the ball bounces. A few days ago, a friend of respected opinion and I were conversing. “I ride for them with an asterisk” Read the rest of this entry »

Insert Your Own Caption Of The Newlyweds

– The Beastie Boys did what the Knicks couldn’t – take over Madison Square Garden.

– Thanks to a mixtape and a haircut, Soulja Boy will now be paying homage to the late Tupac Shakur by reviving the role of Bishop. Yep, that Bishop. Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know much about Tyler, The Creator. Hell, my knowledge on Odd Future outside of Frank Ocean is elementary. Does that make me less of a credible source for all things music? Yeah, probably so. That being said, I give those guys all the respect in the world for the buzz they’ve created for themselves. One definite I’ve learned about Tyler is that he’s a legendary quote waiting to happen.

Dish Network, who clearly has a few hundred-million bucks sitting around and needs a tax write-off, bought out Blockbuster for $320 Million. The news was interesting to me solely for the fact that a.) I hadn’t even thought about Blockbuster for years and b.) I have no earthly idea why Read the rest of this entry »

“No 666 sh*t, just that sick sh*t” It was only a matter of time before someone flipped Tyler The Creator’s trance-inducing “Yonkers” beat and I’m glad to see it’s Dee Goodz. After chopping it up with this smooth individual at SXSW, it’s apparent that unlike a lot of cats who just rap well, he’s actually got a game plan to match his skills. Read the rest of this entry »

Contrary to popular belief or my previous words misconstrued, I do believe quite a bit of talent lies within Tyler and the whole OFWGKTA collective. They have the “it” that has managed to capture everyone’s collective ear, yet every antic and piece of output they create isn’t worthy of being fawned over. Read the rest of this entry »

In 1975, Roy Harper sat in some cheeky music executive’s office on behalf of Pink Floyd, only to discover their sensory perception began and ended with sight—of potential dollar signs. In 1993, the GZA dealt with industry weasels who would rather climb mountains than get in tune with the witty unpredictable lingo he and his fellow clansmen were kicking. Now in 2011, things haven’t changed up one bit Read the rest of this entry »

Lost amidst the hype surrounding Tyler The Creator’s raucous Fallon performance was the announcement earlier in the week of his signing of a deal with XL Recordings. Tyler, it seems, knows exactly what he’s doing. Read the rest of this entry »

– Supreme’s upcoming Spring line will be increasingly more difficult to obtain. Yes, more than usual. There’s a sweatshirt I want too.

– ?uesto obviously did not warn Fallon of last night’s music act, Odd Future. The other guests weren’t given a heads up either. Whoever the chick is, she probably had to smoke something to take the edge off afterwards. Read the rest of this entry »

– Saigon’s great story that was never told? Yeah, now it finally is.

– Yeah, Nicki’s platinum, but there are more than enough ladies whose projects never saw the light of day.

– There aren’t many things better in life than a dope rap song with an incredibly dope opening line. Here’s 55 of them. Read the rest of this entry »
