Friday Ode :: Denver Nuggets

Enough said.  See ya’ll in the 09/10 Season… proper.  Sure, I cried a little bit on the inside… but 8th row seats on the hookup for the final game in the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers isn’t anything to shake your head at.  Big ups to Nickro. Bonus Game 6 Nuggets theme song: I [...]

Charles Hamilton + boyfriend abuse

If you were to look up most “Anti-Charles Hamilton” fan on Wikipedia, my photo and short bio would be listed.  So some broad punches him.  No, his girlfriend punches him after they battle rap about getting abortions and shit.  I would have punched a dude trying to go out with me if he was rocking [...]

Rappers I slept on :: Tiye Phoenix

I don’t really like female rappers outside of MC Lyte, Lauryn Hill, and Queen Latifah… Shouts also to Apani B and Lady of Rage, but truly – most female rappers either sound way too bubblegum-ish or way too monotone (I’m sure you all can figure out who I’m referring to…).  And enter tage left field, [...]

Friday Ode :: Inspectah Deck’s opening verse on Triumph

So I’m rolling around in the whip with the iPOD on random, which is a pretty typical  siutuation… That’s actually how I hear music most of the time, a random occurrence letting the Apple gods control what flows into my ears.  Along comes ‘Triumph‘ from the Wu LP Wu-Tang Forever, which is probably one of [...]

Jay-Z – Def Jam + Roc Nation?

My boy, Jay-Z has left Def Jam in order to pursue and release Blueprint 3 outside of their broke ass empire.  Why?  Jay doesn’t exactly indicate.  I figure there are probably a few things going on: Def Jam is going under.  It was reported somewhere in late 2008 that the record label was millions… no, [...]

Russell Simmons + the UN

Russell Simmons was appointed as the UN’s most recent Goodwill Ambassador.  Sounds important, but what does a Goodwill Ambassador do, you may ask… essentially, they’re famous people who heard in the sheep to save the world from evils like human trafficking, etc.  His role specifically is to represent people who have or are currently slaves [...]

Miss Rachel + Examiner.com

Chavo (known as Awareness from Dirty Labratory) asked me a few questions and well… I answered them. Most that know me are used to me not being in the hot seat and asking people a bunch of questions… This time, the tables were turned.  From local hip hop to my first album to message boards [...]

Drake (Detroit)

  Drake Freestyling In Detroit from Flying With Da Fishes Blog on Vimeo. Alright, so… I hate reposting shit that’s on other blogs. I read blogs.  I’m aware of this Drake craze that’s surfaced in the past few months.  I like dude a lot too… But this clip of his performance in Detroit is pretty [...]

Q-tip + D’Angelo + Raphael Saadiq :: Lynwood Rose

I just wrote about Lucy Pearl a few weeks back and had mentioned D’Angelo‘s prior membership to the group, posted a photo of his large & in charge ass, and also mentioned he was working on some new projects. I know that this album was rocking the internet over a week ago, and in the [...]

Friday Ode :: LARD Clothing

LARD Clothing.   Big ups to the D/LARD for the conversation & multiple shots the other weekend… Dudes are putting in work for their Summer line.  I’m excited, quite frankly… anyone that supports a women’s line whole heartedly deserves every ounce of shine I have. Watch out now. Their blog is killer too, definitely RSS that [...]

Kid Hum + RTD :: Offshore Drilling

It’s amazing what a small world it is, especially in the age of online-ness – everyone’s connected somehow.  Imagine my surprise when my dude, Kid Hum, linked up with this cat I used to bullshit with about drum & bass and hip hop on AOL ten years ago (what up, khal?!).  If you haven’t checked [...]
