Skullcandy :: Roc Nation aviator headphones

Snoop Dogg + Kid Cudi :: That Tree (produced by Diplo) video

Snoop Dogg. Who doesn’t love him?  Diplo production.  Who doesn’t love it?  Kid Cudi on the hook.  I can understand why folks dislike dude, but he actually comes correct on this track… Actually, I think I’d much, much rather hear a Diplo & Cudi album in the near future – I can hear the sound [...]

Jay-Z :: NY-Z (Absolut collaboration documentary)

  I can’t think of a better way to kick off the week with a 15-minute Jay-Z documentary hosted by Absolut Vodka‘s marketing team.

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, [...]

Best of 2009 :: PopularLemonade edition

I feel like ‘best of’ lists are a bit overrated – everyone ends up putting on their bad ass hats and bitching about the placement of the exact same 10 albums within the list.  Instead of boring you all with a bunch of diatribe and bullshit, I’d rather show you exactly what has been keeping [...]

Jay-Z :: Blueprint 3 Tour dates & Empire State of Mind live at Yankees Parade

Can I get a loud as hell, “fuck yes” in unison, please?  My fabulous poplemons are aware of my deep love for Jay-Z, but a more little known fact is that I haven’t seen him live, ever.  He just so happens to be coming to my hometown next year.  Is he coming to yours, too?  [...]

Just the Tip + Popular Lemonade Vol. 3 (Roc La Familia)

I’ve been literally waiting on the edge of my seat for another Just the Tip exclusive mix for my PopLemons, and what better way to come correct than a Roc-a-Fella dedicated mix?  Even better, I forgot that some of these tracks even existed.. It’s like Christmas, only better.  Much love & big ups to Just [...]
