New Music: Tabi Bonney/Yo Majesty

Much apologies for not profiling new artist in a while, but with so many major 4th quarter releases dropping, I haven’t had time to search for new music. However, I came across two acts on the MySpace that I think y’all would like.
Tabi Bonney is that new heat from DC. I gotta admit that I [...]

Get Familiar pt 3: Chris Hall Interview

Chris Hall has been a fixture in the Washington D.C. skateboarding community for the last 20 years. He skated downtown before it was cool, and collected sneakers BEFORE there were boutiques, line ups, and niketalk (like we’re talking when cats used to get murked for their Js). For the past 2 years he [...]

New Gear: Microsoft Zune

Microsoft dropped its “iPod killer” this week to mixed reviews. The 30GB Zune has more features than the iPod–a larger screen, FM Radio, Wi-Fi capabilities and a longer, 14 hour battery life. But on the downside, the Zune can’t be used as an external hard drive, and the Wi-Fi will only connect to other [...]

Random Ish: The We Beat Yo Ass Edition

All I gotta say is….dayum. The Rethugs got trounced. (Most of) America has waken up to the f*cked up policies of the Bush Administration. The House? The Senate? Rummy gone? Right Wing Senators gone? Macacawitz ousted? A new Black Govenor? It’s like Christmas came early.
And yes, DC Voting Rights is back on the table. Damn [...]

Late Pass: Gym Class Heroes

Gym Class Heroes - Its Okay, But Just This Once
I’m really not a big fan of nerd rap. You would think that being a nerd (computer programmer) that I would be all over that ish, but for the most part, I find most of that stuff trite and boring. Okay, I find most music these [...]

Vote Or Die

Let’s step away from the music/culture/hip-hop thing for a moment….
Tomorrow, people have a chance to make history again. Tomorrow is a chance for America to make a choice. If you vote yes to the Republican Party, then you’re giving them a pat on the back for their policies in Iraq. You’re giving them a high [...]

New Ghostface - Good

Yes, it seems the rumors are true. Ghostface is dropping a new album entitiled More Fish, the followup to Fishscale on December 12th. The first single, entitled “Good” is dropping on radio and the internets now.
Ghostface - Good
Don’t know if More Fish is a true followup to Fishscale or just a collection of B-sides, [...]
