Off this great compilation that came out two weeks ago. Does anybody know anything about The Hykkers. Specifically, how I can find out more stuff like this? If you do, send me an e-mail in Morse code. Thanks. MP3: The Hykkers-”I Want a Break Through”
Pete Rock needs no introduction. His new album NY’s Finest drops on Tuesday. While it might not be a classic on the level of a Soul Survivors or Mecca & The Soul Brother, it’s a strong record with occasionally great moments. But buyer beware: Jim Jones yells “floooosssssiiiin’” no less than four times. Q: You’ve… Continue reading »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6pbZLiLt30 I’m back from Puerto Vallarta where I was forced to suffer the half-horrific, half-hysterical spectacle of watching a bunch of oversized American frat boy wiggers (sideways caps, “La Coka Nostra” t-shirts) alternately perform the Soulja Boy dance and make “swish” motions while listening to “We Fly High.” Not even touching the various other sundry… Continue reading »
The strike is over. So now what the hell do we do now? So many of us have been out of work, out of money, and tired of giving a shit about this strike. It seems odd that we’ll soon be immersed knee-deep in shows, pilots, movies and awards telecasts. But will Hollywood return to… Continue reading »
On Sunday Barack Obama completed his sweep of the most recent primaries with a devastating win in Maine. At the same time, 3,000 miles away across the country at Los Angeles’ Staples Center, Morris Day and the Time took the stage at this years Grammys for a blistering performance. This cannot be a coincidence. It… Continue reading »
Zilla Rocca has no heart. Instead, his chest cavity is filled with grime and steel. Like Keith Richards, he cannot be killed by conventional weapons. Valentine’s Day is here…again. On my quest to spend the bulk of my time not buying chocolate, heart-shaped candies, nor ridiculously overpriced flowers, I stumbled upon quite possibly the best… Continue reading »
“This is the number one rule for your set/In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets/And through our travels we get separated, never forget/In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets”-Jay-Z “Regrets” Rappers today don’t live with regrets. Or maybe they just don’t express them well enough. The truth is that… Continue reading »

I’m going to Puerto Vallarta for a week for a friend’s wedding. Tough life. In the meantime, starting tomorrow, I’ll have a Murderer’s Row of guest bloggers filling in for me. If you need me in the interim ask for Jefe. I’ll be the one drinking tequila out of a sombrero. It’s the Latin equivalent… Continue reading »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjUnfdv2ljk In honor of poor Teddy Riley. Nothing says “epic video” more than a hourglass filled with shifted sands. Nothing. I’m fairly certain that “Remember the Time” is actually an alternative history suggesting the importance of New Jack Swing to the ancient Egyptians. Hieroglyphics that were once thought to have depicted the everyday life of… Continue reading »
I’ve written about Atlanta producer/sometime rapper, Jamie Radford once or twice before, so no real need to repeat the introduction. Currently, he’s releasing two new instrumentals for a film he’s working on, the first “Crunchy White,” described as a collision of “crunchy digital synths with dirty south 808 bass,” while “Solaris” aims to serve as… Continue reading »
