50 Cent – “Ghetto Like A Motherf*cker”
“Ghetto As A Motherf*cker” may not be tagged as a Notable Quotable, but I’ll be damned if this didn’t leave me with a “bitter beer face.”
“Imagine I was broke right now saying damn where my friends go?
Cat burglar style, I’m coming through your window
Bitch I’m so focused, ***** I’m so focused
Slim chance I’ma go...

Michael Jordan: The Bulls Have “Six More” Championships Coming
Fresh off referring to Rose as this season’s leading MVP candidate, MJ spoke very optimistically of the current Bulls squad at a recent ceremony celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the franchise’s first championship. Jordan hasn’t proven himself to be the best prognosticator off the court, but he could be on to something here.
“Believe it or not, it’s been 20 years...

Cam’ron Feat. Vado, Jim Jones & Sen City – “Ooooohhhh”
According to Cam and his ace Miss Info, yesterday’s track, “Throw It In The Air,” was stolen from his email. Bad business, but I guess we all benefit since Killa decided to release the proper version with assists from Jimmy, Vado and Sen City. Oh yeah, title change too and we shall now refer to the track as “Oooooohhhh.”

Jean Grae Feat. Styles P & Talib Kweli – “R.I.P.”
Uhm, who lit a fire under Jean Greasy’s rappin’ ass? Three straight days, three releases. Khal does point out that a radio rip of this has been around for a bit, but that’s okay. I’m just glad to see her droppin’ material left and right.

Mac Miller – Best Day Ever Mixtape
Mac Miller’s title for his latest mixtape, Best Day Ever, could qualify as understatement of the year because this Pittsburgh native has been having a best day every day for the better part of seven months now. His K.I.D.S. tape woke up everyone from your 15-year-old sister to old Hip-Hop heads concerning the young gun’s potential and Best Day Ever–coupled with...

Game Feat. Lil Wayne – “Red Nation”
Now we’re talking. After that half-finished track with Yeller the other day and about two hundred other supposed tracks from Jayceon’s R.E.D. Album, this might be the best yet. Sampling a familiar Baroque-style-hook from one of Zombie Nation’s mid-’90s Jock Jams, “Red Nation” is a stadium-sounding single that’s too rugged to be Top 40, but...

Cam’ron – “Throw It In The Air”
We appear to be staring a NFL work stoppage in the face, but at least we have some new Killa to kick off the weekend. Come to think of it, Cam should have been the mediator between the owners and players’ association. Imagine the press conferences. They would have been nothing short of legendary and could have eventually led to a Tony Kornheiser/Cam’ron “Five Good...

Jean Grae – “You Don’t Like It (So What)”
The snarky subliminal found in the title of Jean Greasy’s new single should come as no surprise as her cerebral cortex has been known to illuminate the show for sometime now, almost mirroring the fictional version of her moniker to strikingly close proximity. Approaching a beat with the A-B-C formula of lyric-lyric-punchline is like a peanut butter & jelly to woman; it...

Lil B – Illusions Of Grandeur
And Athrin thought the title was a well-crafted barb by Beware. No, this is serious. And the cover is vanglorious as well. Actual listening? Please do that at your own risk.

The Kid Daytona Feat. Freddie Gibbs & Alex Of The Kickdrums – “Take Aim…Bang!” Video
Fresh from receiving the nationwide spotlight on 106 & Park, Daytona the Kid is celebrating in Manhattan with Gangsta Gibbs and plenty of groupie love with yet another drop from The Interlude. Cook Classics took a serious hit of the “chronic” and carved out a sinister number, straight from the rolling papers of a Dr. Dre classic so incorporate some West Coast flavor...

When The Revolution Was Televised: The Fab 5 On ESPN’s 30 For 30
The problem with myself and the game of basketball is that I peaked too early. During the little league days, my career averages centered around nine points, three rebounds and two assists a game. I was doing things an eight or nine year old just wasn’t supposed to do on a basketball court. ESPN even projected me going #1 in the 2004 draft – in 1994. Some referred to...

Charles Barkley To The Heat: “Quit Whining & B*tching”
The Starting Five:
Barkley has a message for the Miami Heat: “Listen, I like Dwyane (Wade) a lot and I like LeBron (James) a lot. They are really starting to get on my last damn nerve. I’ve heard Dwyane say it twice and I’ve heard LeBron say it twice, that America is happy now that the Miami Heat are losing. Dwyane, let me break it to you, you know I love you, but nobody cares...

Fly.Union Feat. GLC – “Top Of The World”
Somehow along the way, Fly.U gets left out of the “rising artists” discussion. Hell, they’re forgotten when notable acts from Ohio are mentioned. However, my gut instinct tells me that will change as they take to the road more – including hitting our PA stage – and once The Greater Than Club releases. I saw them perform at A3C and they carry a similar...

Recession Proof 2K11: Hip-Hop’s Reigning Cash Cows
To be honest, there are so many of these lists that float around I forget which is which. Forbes compiled their top five wealthiest Hip-Hop artists and the tabulation pretty much went as expected. With the exception for one name.
1. Sean Combs a.k.a. Diddy a.k.a. Puffy a.k.a. Puff or let Gotty™ tell it, Big Luce.
2. Jay-Z

“Watch Me Work”: G-Shock x RESPECT
Time is money. And a good watch is always something worthwhile to invest in. Casio’s G-Shock has long been known as a highly respectable timepiece, admired not only for their style but also their durability as well. Now, the watchmaker is teaming up with RESPECT magazine – equally admired in its line of work – for their “Watch Me Work” campaign.

Meet Joe D’Amico, The “McRunner”
Calling someone a “fat-ass” who eats McDonald’s all day just isn’t going to fly in Joe D’Amico’s world. As a matter-of-fact, the marathon runner has been dubbed the “McRunner” because he’s challenging himself by training for his upcoming race by eating nothing but three square meals underneath the Golden Arches.

Dom Kennedy – The Original Dom Kennedy Mixtape
Talk about coming from left field. However, seeing as how I consider myself a huge fan of Dom Kennedy, any new music from the brother is regarded as a come up. He’s actually my favorite young West Coast artist (by a finely combed baby hair over Kendrick), but that is another time for another discussion. Lost in the commotion regarding XXL’s Freshman list was the fact...

LASERS Get Their Way: Lupe To Debut At #1 On Billboard 200
David D. may have preached the hostile gospel a week ago, but when you mix loyalists, lobbyists, and Lupe together, surprisingly, you won’t come up with a “L”. The album fans petitioned for and blew their bank accounts to help get into stores after Atlantic Records repeatedly treated Brother Fiasco like a chump is taking the gold medal in next week’s sales...
