Kool Herc’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Beatles album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band gets remixed with the greatest artists from hip-hop and Black Culture. Not only does this dude redo the album, but the inside cover, the liner notes, and the who’s who diagram as well. This probably one of the best projects I’ve seen on the [...]

Stone gave you 3 awesome events to hit Thursday night…this is the only event to hit Friday night…

F**k Tha Police

I’m sickened and saddened by Questlove’s new Myspace Blog post. There are no words to describe the hell that he went through.

Whoops..

Of course, everything falls to sh*t when I go out of town. I don’t know what exactly went down with the site over the weekend, but somehow the MySQL Database got all messed up sometime in the past few days. Anyway, everything is back to normal now and the lovely lady on the other end [...]
