Prior to viewing this video, I hadn’t been to WorldStarHipHop in months. While I don’t hate it like many others do, it’s never been in my top places to visit for one reason or another. I will, however, give them credit for this. What we have hear is a behind the scenes look at Tone Tone and OJ Da Juiceman‘s newest video entitled “I’m Doin’ Good.” Read the rest of this entry »
It’s fitting that Nelly & Ashanti are a couple because their careers mirror each other to a T. After years of Pop stardom, their time in the limelight has all but flickered out, while fans have grown up/tired or moved onto another artists. Emphasis on the “moved on,” because the quality of their music hasn’t changed. Back when I listened to Ashanti’s latest album, the first thing that popped into my mind is “she’s too old to still be singing these songs.” Read the rest of this entry »
Like beautiful sunsets, marijuana and Salma Hayek’s bodacious rack, the internet is one of God’s greatest gifts to humankind.
Through the divine power of video-sharing sites like YouTube, people who’d otherwise be nobodies can now become global superstars. Some of these homemade video clips are really arty and entertaining; some are wastes of cyberspace. But once our friendly neighborhood thugs got wind of this technology, a new cinematic genre was born… I call it – “Ig’nant Video.”
This genre isn’t really new; niggas have been flashing their burners on-camera and snitching on themselves since the first Smack DVD. But now, with online sharing, directors from any hood can screen their masterpieces for the world to view. Bill Cosby and Oprah may cringe when they see these works of art, but as a devoted movie-buff I’ve enjoyed some of these short films. So grab your popcorn, everyone, and savor the crème de le crème of Ig’nant Videos.
This recently released gem is the Citizen Kane of ig’nant cinema. It’s an innovative milestone that aspiring self-snitches will study for years to come. It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cry. The main protagonist, Jay Stones, claims to be Yung Berg’s darker twin-brother and vows a blood-feud with Berg’s enemies (mainly Detroit gangster Trick Trick and Miami rapper Briscoe). In the process, Mr. Stones delivers Read the rest of this entry »

If Yung Berg comes across as cocky and arrogant, it may be somewhat understandable. Where most rappers today are direct offspring of a higher power, the scrappy Chicagoan has carved a path all by his lonesome. Hitting the charts off the back in 2007 with his debut single “Sexy Lady”, the lispy voiced rapper looks to build on the success he tasted early with his official debut, the respectable Look What You Made Me.
Berg obviously wants to be a Pop star, and despite blatantly borrowing pages from the current edition of “How To Be A Rapper” (chronic abuse of the auto-tuner, redundant materialistic themes, R&B singers on nearly every hook) he manages to succeed in delivering some guaranteed platinum ringtones. In-house producer Rob Holiday crafts some catchy melodies on tracks like the dreamy “Outerspace” and “The Business” which feature Berg doing as much singing as he does rapping.
