Wow. Someone went to a lot of trouble to completely recreate, shot for shot, the video for Wu’s “Da Mystery of Chessboxin’”. And I mean a lot of effort. Well, I’m just happy that someone spend a month or so working on an idea that resulted in 3 plus minutes of entertainment for me. [...]

In my absence, I missed a few releases worth speaking on. So, while some of these joints may have been out for a minute, I haven’t had a chance to offer my considered opinion. One such example is the mixtape release from D.C. mic controller Wale and prolific producer 9th Wonder, Back To [...]

This is just fantastic. Some no-name reporter who has the opportunity to interview a legendary cat like Method Man tries to make a snide comment during an interview and Meth repeatedly sons him for the rest of the clip.How many artists are watching this as complete fantasy material right here? When some journalist (or blogger, [...]

As long-time readers know, I’m a pretty big fan of the NY group Children Of The Night. I think they have a dope, unique sound that we need to hear more in hip-hop right about now.Here’s the latest from them – a remix joint with new artist Mayer Hawthorne, which has a perfect sound for [...]

I guess I’ve returned just in time to see Joe Budden get into beef with the Wu. I’ve haven’t been dead in my absence (note to reader Quan), so I peeped the video of Joe getting heated about being some double digit number in the Vibe (RIP) rankings for “Best Rapper In the Galaxy” or [...]

My man Kevin Nottingham always keeps an a sharp eye on those singles, bundles them up and pumps out dope compilations. Others seem to be following suit.

I’m an 80’s baby, so I obviously found this appealing – Donny Goines channeling Judd Nelson as Bender from the 80’s classic The Breakfast Club. In fact, I’d cop this joint just for the cover alone.I guess Goines didn’t have much of a choice on which character to dress as. Not sure if it would [...]
