Trust me. Things are rough. But after that J. Cole mention in Complex and then the XXL “Top 100 Blogs in Hip-Hop” stamp, I had to get the blog up somehow.Yeah, it doesn’t look like it should. It’s messed up. The theme is outdated, as is the banner/logo, and there is no sidebar. Where are [...]

This is the definition of recession. Banking on the Mickey D’s Monopoly game to get out our parent’s basements!? Talk about rough. The Great Progression: coming soon.

If you don’t know about grime music, you’re about to be put on. Half my family lives in London, so I was put onto the early acts like So solid Crew (which are actualy more part of the garage genre, but that’s another blog post) at a young age. Now the game has evolved, and [...]
Some grimey, gutta, unradio-friendly Clipse is back. Exaaactly what he industry nerds and people who think they’re in the industry (like little ol’ me) have been waiting for over the last 6 months.

The style section’s Sunday cover was dedicated to the DMV hip hop movement. I think that’s something monumental. Figured I’d let everybody know in case they didn’t. Go dig through your recycling bin and get a copy. Post it on the wall or something. It’s progress.
A (really) weird little short film that Kanye and director (who is from Rockville, MD by the way. That’s where I grew up.) Spike Jonze created. Let me know how you like it, and if you understood what was going on.
Good GRIEF. This episode was hilarious. It’s called “Denise Handicap” and it’s about Larry’s encounters with some wheelchair-bound women. It’s incredible. Enjoy.DOWNLOAD: Curb Your Enthusiasm – Season 7, Episode 5
