The 10 Rules of Pimpology According to the Video for Do or Die’s “Po’ Pimp”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzwfyPLZHb8 10. The ability to acquire flaming pennies (these were also reportedly Shaquille O’ Neal’s last words upon leaving Orlando). Such magic coins will give their owners the ability to turn homeless people into suave and dapper, ladies men and thus realize their dreams of using P.I.M.P.O.L.O.G.Y. to logically, learn these tricks biology. Obviously. 9.… Continue reading »

SXSW Flashback: Interview With Del Tha Funky Homosapien

It was my third night in Austin. Devin had just blazed through an epic set that had been celebrated in the appropriate fashion , El-P was currently on-stage and I was wandering around the Def Jux party with four cups of Jack in my stomach, a head full of smoke and the strange desire to… Continue reading »

The Beat Generation: Mr. Excitement

Now that Zilla Rocca and U-God Zilla have joined forces, the planets shall align and miniature golf scores shall plummet.   U-God is probably one of the most interesting MC’s in Wu-Tang. And by interesting I mean “not very talented.” He had that scene-stealing verse on “Da Mystery of Chessboxin” (you’re welcome, Brandon Soderberg) but he… Continue reading »

Fatlip Commentary on “Passing Me By”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5y4BZ7qRvY “Passing Me By” might not be my favorite song ever, but it’s definitely in my top 10. It’s probably in yours too. It’s the sort of cut that you can play at any time of day or night, despite the inherently sad subtext contained within the Pharcyde’s tribute to unrequited love. Instead, it’s buoyed… Continue reading »

Jay Electronica: Much Better Than His Name Would Suggest

You may not know who Jay Electronica is yet, but I’m willing to bet that you would had he chosen a better name. Jay Electronica does not sound like the one of the most buzzed about rappers of 2008. Jay Electronica sounds like the name of a small-potatoes Milwaukee techno DJ circa 1999 who magically… Continue reading »

Guy Groups: 5 Men, One Dish

Ian Cohen has written arguably the funniest article you’ll read all year. It involves male vocal groups, orgies and mixtapes.  I’ll leave it at that. Download: MP3: Hot Chip-”We Looking For A Lot of Love”

Dov Charney Has Taken Over This Blog

There is no Passion anymore. The hipsters have won. I have grown a mustache, developed a new-found appreciation for Man Man and refuse to swaddle myself in anything but the finest fabrics made with real American (or at least Mexican-American) labor in Downtown Los Angeles. The Revolution is over. Feed me headbands or feed me… Continue reading »

Erykah Badu-The Healer

Sometimes when you blog nearly every day you just want to post a song and say that it’s really awesome and that you don’t feel the need to describe it because it’s just really great and you don’t feel like using punctuation or grammar and you realize you should just shut up now and post… Continue reading »

Idolator-New Atmosphere Video Reveals Slug to Be Long-Lost Member of Soul Asylum

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLxuyV9qz8 I’m aware that it’s reductive to be like, “yo, Slug, why don’t you come out with that Overcast-type shit.” It’s not 1997 anymore and artists need to evolve. I get it. But “Guarantee” is not good. Sure, it’s a noble failure, but c’mon dude, emo rap-rock is not the future, despite what Wentz and… Continue reading »

LA Times Article Plus Interview With Bun B

Yes, the title is true, one article, one interview, one post. All for the low low price of nothing. I am nothing if not bargain-minded. Act now while supplies last and before I run out of cliches to spew. Nonsensical gibberish aside, I may not be as a big a UGK fan as others on… Continue reading »
