Graphics: BEWARE

Valentine’s Day is about lust just as much it is about love, but those cutesy Hallmark cards and Zales commercials won’t ever give you the full skinny. San Fran’s LoveRance scored himself a pair of hits with the sexually-charged original and remix in “Up!” (as in reenacting human dynamite in between lady’s legs) Read the rest of this entry »

If you find yourself caught in a pickle and perplexed with how to handle multiple loves for Valentine’s Day, who better to get advice from than Too Short, a man who has made a career out of doling out worldly wisdom on wax regarding women for a couple of decades. Read the rest of this entry »

So, obviously it’s Valentine’s Day and amongst other things, it is a day observed for a slew of free music under the premise of knockin’ the boots, heartache and faux emotions. Gotta love Hip-Hop for it. Instead of turning the site into the Anthony Thomas music section, we decided to wrangle up the mixtapes/EPs, songs and visuals that are making this day longer than it needs to be.

Ghostface’s writing ability has been highly touted as providing some of the most vivid and honest lyrics of any other musician in Hip-Hop. One aspect of his career that is often overlooked is his ability to convey a multitude of different emotions in regards to the opposite sex. He’s quite…poetic and, at times, touching.

Ladies (and we’re talking to YOU, Angela Yee), ESSO wants you to color him badd and skip the needless offerings of stale Anthony Thomas goodies, roses that will wilt by the week’s end and get right into the action. It’s a familiar tune with an even familiar message that’s just perfect for the 14th. Read the rest of this entry »

Need just one more mix to help set up things for Sunday? All praises due to Cosmo Baker for reupping his Valentine’s Roll. If there’s anybody who knows how to dig up old soul music and put it together with a bow, it’s this guy Cosmo. Peep the tracklist, let the music do the talking while you focus on other more rewarding tasks. Read the rest of this entry »

Not in the mood for all the lovey-dovey ying-yang being popped right now? Go ahead and make your declaration known with Triumvir’s “Fuck Love” shirt. One of my favorite shirts of all-time (of all-time!), redone in a limited run just in time to cash in on the day. It’ll probably ruin your chances of picking up a shorty for next Valentine’s but…dah well. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re like me – broke and continually being forced into buying your longtime girlfriend meaningless gifts – I feel your pain. This year, however, us love suckers need to work together, think outside the Tiffany’s box and sink to a level only guys can (no, you idiot, we’re not getting our chicks dildos). Usually, flowers and candy would be enough to drop the panties, but even those B-List gifts can get expensive. Read the rest of this entry »

“Let me show you what you’re missing everyday.”

Male singers, like most modern musicians, have lost their way, and therefore their appeal. Like a wise lady I know pointed out, there was a time when singers would beg, in the most intimate and humble of fashions, to be given a chance to prove to the lady what he was. These days, we’ve reverted back to our caveman-esque nature of brashly beating the point across and telling the girl exactly what to do, profanity and lack of subtlety included.
