Kendrick Lamar :: She Needs Me + I am

  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 dude [...]

SLAMxHYPE + Donnis

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 to release the single [...]

Women’s Nike Vandal High :: club purple + white + black

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 think that a proper ass [...]

01.25.2010 :: earth to Weezy #1

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. Our first installment is a track named “Yes” featuring Pharrell…. The best part? Weezy F baby [...]

Women’s Nike 6.0 Dunk High :: Grey + Blue + Yellow

You know why I love these shoes outside of the fact that it’s been awhile since I’ve seen a new colorway for Nike‘s 6.0 Dunks?  This particular colorway is made out of grey t-shirt material.  In other words, I can rock these to the grocery store without looking like a complete idiot in my normal [...]

Versis :: All In

When I first started PopularLemonade, I was surprised at the influx of really, really terrible music and EPKs that found their way into my inbox.  Seriously, I was shocked at the level of horrible music that folks are pushing and also the lack of proper editorial support and horrendous marketing and promotion skills in general.  [...]

Hellz Bellz + Vans :: The Hadley & The Sophie

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 think the flat may [...]

Top selling hip hop albums of 2009

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 hop albums of all time, [...]

Diplo Presents :: Free Gucci (Best of the Cold War Mixtape)

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 the flipside, I do [...]

Reebok Ex-O-Fit Hi S.G. Strap + Mita

I always get a lot of shit about being a Nike head exclusively.  Truth be told, Nike has really pushed the envelope as far as women’s sneaker styles and colorways.  In fact, most of the time, women’s Nike colorways are far superior to the men’s styles. I almost had a heart attack when I saw [...]
