Music is NOT Devalued by the Internet

So there is something that has been bugging me for the past few weeks and I decided that I needed to rant.
See, since physical music sales are declining, and acts like Radiohead are giving their music away for free on the Internet, people have been talking about how music is somehow devalued since kids these [...]

Republic Gardens = Gone

Another one bites the dust…
Republic Gardens on U Street got evicted from their spot today and their stuff got thrown out on the street. I’m sure people are having a field day with all of the free DJ equipment and fixtures on the side of the street.
I never really hung out at Republic Gardens, [...]

Seriously, WTF?

The depth that some people will go to make a quick buck sometimes sickens me. But honestly, should I be surprised?
Universal Music is packaging a new Amy Winehouse DVD with a special commemorative pint glass and ashtray. Yep, that’s right, they’re cashing in on the fact that this chick has OD’d and done to rehab [...]

Beatmaking on the Wii

Beatmaking isn’t new to consoles. Back in the day, I made some beats using a Playstation 2 (long story short, they sounded like crap, but I did get some airplay out in California, or so they say). However, making beats on the Wii is taking things to a whole new level.
First, off, I’ve been [...]

All Wale, All The Time….

Yet, another Wale post…sorry haters! Tarik at the Rhythm Lab posted a new video behind the scenes from Wale’s photo shoot with French duo Justice for URB Magazine’s 150th issue. The video is old (from August/September, I believe) but the cover hasn’t dropped yet. Also, check out Wale’s article from The Washington Post that was [...]
