In case you were wondering what’s been coming out of my speakers as of late.  I didn’t realize I was so Drake obsessed…?  I have a problem.  Jay obsessed, always.   Big ups to Wale too.

I have a few key points I’d like to address from watching this video: WHEN CNN STARTS USING URBAN SLANG, THAT MEANS THAT YOU, AS AN URBAN SLANG USER, MUST JUMP OFF OF THE SWAG SHIP. Thank Jesus.  That shit was getting old, although I will note that I do own the swagger supermarket and [...]

Dear Sole, I’m writing you this out of pure frustration and moderate contempt.  I heard you were moving to my hometown, and I wanted to punch something in the face, you happened to be too far away at the time (jokes, I promise).  Now, I know that you have made your name within the top [...]

“When we first heard about this project we were psyched on the challenge. We pride ourselves on being able to get bodies moving, so it was cool to do it with a specific goal in mind – giving runners the sonic fuel to clock some miles.” – Posdnuos I’ve been waiting for a new De [...]

I’ve always thought that the Djs I’ve come across have been some of the most amazing networking machines – these dudes are monsters (do they sleep?)!  After the advent of file sharing and the social networking revolution, it only seems fit that these Djs should have their proper home on the internerd – and it’s [...]

Let’s face it – you don’t have to be pretty to be a rapper.  Since I have claimed the ever so sexy Drake as hip hop’s next messiah, I thought a shout out to those emcees who may be less than pretty was well deserved.  My top 10 ugly emcee list is behind the cut.

I may be flexing my uber-nerd status to the whole world wide web, but Xbox has just released a brand new set of avatars for their online gaming system which includes “hip hop” themes complete with the stereotypical bling, printed jeans, jackets with chains, more bling, and booty shorts for the ladies (seriously?!).  I was [...]

When Drake‘s mixtape, ‘So Far Gone‘ dropped a few weeks back, I was almost speechless.  Not knowing all about him from the get-go, I was an instant fan.  In true hip hop nerd fashion, I had his whole short discography within a few minutes.  All of a sudden, this album was being bumped by the [...]

If someone asked me who my top five favorite emcees were, Elzhi of Slum Village and his own justified solo fame would definitely be one of the top contenders.  ‘The Preface” was easily one of my top albums of 2008.  Often slept on and under appreciated, 2009 will be the year that Elzhi shines with [...]

The homie UK has created a fresh mixtape for your hazed & confused ears.  With rare 90s gems from  E-Rule, Slum Brothers, and Big Kwam, I can honestly tell you that this may be one of the best soundtracks to light up this afternoon. Click to download The Urban Kerouac :: Vinyl Pops Vol. 1

I was really, truly hoping with everything that I had that the whole, “let’s make a song about a social networking site” shit was over once MySpace collapsed, and especially after that terrible T-Pain “What’s Yo MySpace” track.  As the social networking globe has once again revolved, Twitter has totally revolutionized the way musicians interact [...]
