I’m not normally into the shameless shill thing–other than the rare occasions when I’ve inveigled readers into nominating me for the much sought after Chancellor of the Confederated Islands of Micronesia position. Thanks for nothing, guys. However, this morning, Stereogum sent me an e-mail purporting that The Passion is a “top contender” for Best Music… Continue reading »
If Sach O found a bag of weed on the floor, motherfucker. you know what the fuck he’d go and do: pick it up, pick it up. So I’m at the local Caribbean spot, half blunted, picking up some roti for a lazy Thursday night when Freddie McGregor’s Bobby Bobylon starts blaring out the stereo.… Continue reading »
If Alchemist continues to make beats this good, at some point in the near future he will pass Kelly Taylor for 4th place on the list of All-Time Greatest Things from Beverly Hills, with only The Beverly Hillbillies, Jim Palmer and Axel Foley in front of him. Evidence continues to be consistent solo, kicking, a… Continue reading »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MEKeEM35kA Very funny new video from millionaire playboy/amateur Dance Dance Revolution champion, Zilla Rocca, in promotion of his Bring Me the Head of Zilla Rocca mixtape. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, what are you waiting for? Hoverboards? Detox? Cam’ron to write a tender, poignant love song about a woman? Also, peep 33 Jones’ Bring… Continue reading »
In addition to teaching the children of England the meaning of dope, Dan Love blogs at From Da Bricks. Stretch Armstrong should need no introduction around these parts. As one half of New York’s most legendary hip hop radio team, the unlikely looking Adrian Bartos’ pseudonym will be indelibly associated with establishing the careers of… Continue reading »
Re-reading my review, I briefly blanched at the easy potshot lambasting “stale, corporate local radio” for ignoring the Knux–then I checked out Power 106′s playlist. “Krazy” by Pitbull and Lil Jon?” “So Fly” by Slim and Young Joc?” You’re trying to tell me that neither “Cappuccino” nor “Bang Bang” is better than that gruesome twosome?… Continue reading »
Because playing these albums in flagrante delicto is the only romantic gesture lamer than offering a woman a fish sandwich. 10. Cornball Stevie Wonder Songs (I.E. “You are the Sunshine of My Life.” “I Just Called to Say I Love You”) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPyq4iqt6Go I’m not going to tell you that these songs don’t serve a purpose–they… Continue reading »
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDPk6OQkpeI On self-imposed deadline and procrastinating by watching Fat Boys videos–in particular, this gem from Krush Groove. I think I’d like Rick Ross better if he’d just admit that deep down, he truly empathizes with Buff Love, Kool Rock-Ski and Prince Markie Dee. Also, I wish rappers would go back to rocking “ski” at the… Continue reading »
For whatever reason, “Dear Catastrophe Waitress” won’t unlodge itself from my skull tonight, causing me to wonder when Belle & Sebastian are going to get it together and record a proper follow-up to The Life Pursuit. These BBC sessions just aren’t cutting it for me. In related news, I think that I’d like emo if… Continue reading »
Are you frequently fatigued? Do you lack the energy to assault major American film directors over the role of O-Dog? Do you find yourself drinking beverages, one part Alize, one part Cristal, and one part Suge Knight tear drop, while wondering why your particular brand of thug lacks passion? Well, with one sip of Hunid… Continue reading »
