Can I be honest?  I don't know much about Kendrick Lamar whatsoever.  Here's what I do know: The video above is dope.... except for knocking on tattooed women.  Thanks, K.Dot.. errr. I LOVE two-track videos.  Love them... especially for new artists. Take notes. It was obvious within the first 30 seconds - this ... Continue Reading

ATL-reppin’, MC Donnis spent a lot of 2009 climbing the hip-hop ranks with live performance videos, profuse freestyles, and attention-getting tracks that leaked much to our delight. Having a mixtape with 10 Deep ain’t a bad thing either, just ask Kid Cudi and Wale. All this grindin’ brought Donnis a deal ... Continue Reading

I have quite a few pair of Vandal high tops from Nike, althoughI have always strayed away from the super shiny plastic looking colorways because they remind me of boxing shoes.  You know, the Muhammad Ali type float like a butterfly sting like a bee joints.  Not that I don't ... Continue Reading

I'd like to welcome you to a new edition on PopularLemonade which features ridiculous Lil Wayne quotes.  Why?  Because Weezy is perhaps one of the most colorful characters in modern day hip hop.  Plus, he's fun to laugh at.

I had read about the collaboration between women's streetwear designer Hellz Bellz and Vans for a minute now, and was half-anxious to see exactly what would shake out when the design was finally released. I can't say that I'm crazy about the super flat Sophie or the high-top Hadley whatsoever.  I ... Continue Reading

Wow.  I think if I was any indication of Billboard's top selling rap albums for 2009, this list would look a lot different.  I'm shooting at around 30% ownership of these ten albums, as a matter of fact.  you guess which ones.  For a list of the top selling hip ... Continue Reading

I almost lost my shit this morning.  No, really, I did. I've had this crazy affection towards Diplo forever.  I think I have one short album (maybe even an EP) of his that I would have worn the tape out of is I was rocking a cassette.  I love Diplo.  On ... Continue Reading
