Did anyone else notice how hip-hop artists decided to take the words ‘Protect Ya Neck’ quite literally this cold weather season. This year, it was the style icon / mogul-status types that spent a few extra hundred on the luxe scarves instead of that extra pair of bullshit general release Air Force Ones. [...]

I am all over the Kidz in the Hall right now. As an old bastard - their throwback style and perhaps most importantly, their throwback references make this nostalgic hip-hop totally interesting for a dude like me. And in the most sincere show of respect, I even made them my Myspace profile [...]

I have long been convinced that when production budgets are tight, you may just get a higher level of creative output. Especially if you have a team that has not been spoiled in the past with unnecessarily high budgets. Shoot me, but I even love establishing parameters for big dumb agency [...]

When discussing some of the tracks from her new album:
“The Dipset beats sound like something you can kill somebody to,” she joked. “It’s for the killers and the drug dealers. But, like, in Chicago, you can go kill somebody and then do the vogue dance afterward.”

Classic movie, classic Tupac, and even more classic song - Juice (Know the Ledge). So I stumbled out to YouTube looking [...]

Or is it:
“bitch-assedness”
or
“bitchass-edness”
or
“bitchassed-ness”
Regardless, I rank #1 for the term in Google, for now. Thanks Diddy. Now we have a new word. I still like ‘tornadic‘ better.

I was fully expecting to not like this song, but I absolutely love it. At some point, I will officially get off Kanye’s jock, but I believe this song could actually save hip-hop record sales. Here is my rationale, and I am only half-way joking here. Of all of [...]
