Everytime u drive past Freedom Plaza on a Saturday afternoon they are filming this:

For the Ladies: Amerie Mixtape/Amy Winehouse

Amerie - Take Control
So I figure that I would drop this as a public service since Amerie basically made The Couch Sessions what it is today. Homegirl is not afraid to try some new things on her album and you have to give her respect for dropping a new mixtape on her site for free. [...]

Put You On To….

The Game feat. Will i am - Compton
Game Show Me….…to say dude gets busy on this is an understatement. Could his album be the most hyped of this fall season? And actually be worthy of the hype?

Album Review: Pete Rock - Underground Classics

I come to think that most of y’all who read this site long for the days of the early nineties when hip-hop was its peak.

New Jay-Z - Lost Ones

Jay-Z - Lost Ones (from Nah Right)

So a local rap group gets signed to a major label AND drops [...]

YouTube Is Dead (The Nyoil Debacle)

YouTube used to be one of the greatest inventions on the Internet. But unfortunately, after the merger with Google the site is officially becoming “dead to me,” as Tony Soprano would say.
First up, the new YouTube will use a digital flag to monitor copyrighted content. In edition, Time Warner is looking into over 100 million [...]

Clipse - Riding Around Shining (snippet)
This is MURDER…good god this is what hip hop should sound like.

Okay, I’ve made it a point not to cuss on this blog, but what the f*ck is this??????
Can someone please explain? Please?
Damn, I’m offended.
Anyway, work has been crazy this week (again) so I haven’t been able to post the articles I want. Look for new articles and a podcast sometime next week.
