I Cannot Be The Only One…

…who can waste damn near a whole day watching back-to-back episodes of “The Game.” Pull my hoe card, call me names, whatever. Let two good episodes come on and me have the spare time to watch. It’s a wrap. The sun’s gone down, day’s shifted to...

“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from...

Wale - “Beast”

Assuming this is a leftover that didn’t make the album. *Shrugs* I’m adding it to my folder anyways, then to the iPod. Direct from 9th Wonderful via his Twitter. If they aren’t stocking the album in your area, Wale says to holler @ him so he can holler @ them people...

“The 8th Light…”

“Black, my family thick, like they’re striped molasses/Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the masses/Black is the color of my true love’s hair/Star’s are bright, shining, hot balls of air..” Straight swiped the pic from Va$htie’s abode. No particular...

“Podium Finish” - Review Of Forza 3

Racing games, for many, aren’t user friendly outside of Mario-Kart. Sim-racing franchises like Forza and Gran Turismo are popular with car nuts and basement dwellers alike. Still, they mostly boast unapologetic learning curves that push newcomers away. It’s refreshing that Forza...

Video: Wale & J. Cole Freestyle @ Denny’s

Touring isn’t what it used to be. I told you that they weren’t letting anyone backstage @ the BP3 show and J. Cole spoke on how there weren’t any groupies gettin’ their back out as far as he could see. Bummer. I think we all grow up having wet dreams where...

A Japanese Game Show

*Kanye shrug* I don’t have any more of an idea of what’s going on than you do. Whatever they’re doing, it’s mildly erotic (aside: “mildly erotic” = my new phrase for “safe for work, but still watch this alone”) because I found myself...

U-God Feat. Method Man - “Wu-Tang” Video

When’s the last time you heard someone say “Yo, you heard that new U-God, son?” And it’s not because homie doesn’t record or release material, either. Christ’s sake, he has an album out or something so we should at least be hearing some chatter...

Alicia Keys - “Dreaming”

Earlier, I laid on the couch to take a short nap. Three and a half later I wake up and I feel behind. That’s how I feel about this “Dreams” track, which we slipped in unnoticed the other day. Now, here’s the CDQ for the masses. Elements…, 12.15. Rah...

50 Cent Has A Charge Of Heart Regarding Album Sales & Artistry

I really didn’t want to speak on this until his official first week numbers came in because, outside of water cooler banter, it doesn’t really matter much. At least not to the average listener; I imagine first week numbers can make or break a TI’s week nowadays. ...

LMFAO Feat. Lil Jon - “Shots” Video

I give credit to LMFAO. Their off-brand of party pop isn’t the most provocative, but these California keg-killers have tapped into our societal cash cow with their knack for situational song writing. After their ingenious idea to custom-make hometown hit(s) with “I’...

“So Sweeet…”

Last week, Neil and I discussed the topic of how he finds time to still do tapes while touring. In a nutshell, it’s virtually impossible but I’ll share some of the rest of it later. The main thing that I wanted to share then and now was I told him how someone had literally just [...]

“Garden State Of Mind…”

When I dropped a post about Mo0 this summer his track met TSS with a somewhat tepid response. I saw a modicum of potential in the kid but dude wasn’t “there” yet in many respects. I knew that wasn’t the last I’d hear from the kid so I kept him in the “wait and see” [...]

“Thelonious Hands…”

In the grand scheme of things, I’d love to go down as one of the greatest documentary filmers this culture has ever seen. Will I get there or not remains to be seen. However, the ability to craft a story through film and words has always intrigued me, so whenever a quality piece...
