Mixtape: Ayah - The Problem Woman

Ayah - The Problem Woman Mixtape (Free Download)
Most of y’all know that I generally don’t like R&B music, and let’s face it: the genre has been stagnant for years now after the death of neo soul and the introduction of pro Tools assisted divas with an absence of talent and class.
However, maybe once a year [...]

On Toronto…

To be honest, I haven’t talked about my travels in Toronto yet mainly because I’m still trying to come down from the high (literally) that was Montreal. Add to the fact that my boy lived a good 35 minutes from the city center (but still considered in the city of Toronto, go figure) meaning that [...]

I wasn’t in Montreal for the Rza throwdown that happened last Thursday night, however my boy Dennis was there and managed to get some great shots of the concert. Check it.

Montreal Snapshot: Arianne Moffatt

Arianne Moffatt - Follow Me (Remix)

So I know this is probably not your cup of tea, but bear with me.

Dope Spot: Paul’s Boutique in Montreal

Paul’s Boutique is a dope store near Mount Royal in Montreal that specializes in rare and vintage vinyl and is simply a crate digger’s dream. The spot has a heavy focus on hip-hop, and they also have a large selection of old school 45s as well as mixtapes from local DJs and DVDs. The Beastie [...]

Performance: Public Enemy at Montreal Jazz Festival 2008

Public Enemy played It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in order from beginning to end, with commentary in between.
It was like a live version of VH1 Storytellers with Chuck droppin’ such tidbits how Hank Shocklee at the last minute flipped the ordering of the songs of the cassette and played [...]

Press Conference: Public Enemy at the Montreal Jazz Festival 2008

With Flava Flav in the building, we already knew that this would not be just any ordinary press conference.

Say what you want about the man, but the dude is living life to the fullest. I ran into Flav twice in Montreal and he’s keeps it real—he’s the same person that you see on TV, no [...]

Review: De La Soul – Montreal Jazz Festival

So the drinking age in Quebec is 18. Add to that the fact that De La played at an all ages joint that is notorious for not carding. The result? I was surrounded by a bunch of drunk 17 year olds and I felt old as hell.
Having that said, the teens in that building could [...]
