Hip Hop Sung By White Boys…or Something Like That…

This post is partly inspired by Ian at A Different Kitchen’s “White Boy Wednesday” posts. It was also partly inspired by the fact that I was listening to Rifle Recoil’s cover of Outkast’s “Prototype” (which I shall post in a bit). I realized that actually there are a number of white boys who have done [...]

Requiem for Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne – Wasted (freestyle)
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Most people know that I’m not the biggest Lil Wayne fan. I respect the man’s hustle, and I think he’s dropped more than a few quality rhymes here and there, but I hesitate to call him the greatest ever or the greatest of all time [...]

VIDEO: Pac Div – Pac Div

Pac Div has been on of my favorite “Class of 09″ groups, but it seems like they haven’t had the buzz of others who have dropped recently. I STILL haven’t gotten around to checking out their Church League Champions drop, but I’m diggin’ their new video for the straight up throwback track track Pac Div [...]

Old School Jams

Being that I’m moving to LA in February, might as well put you on to some events starting with this MONSTER of an Old School concert. Granted this would have REALLY cracked off in 1987 (even though there may have been alot of gang activity in the parking lot), this is still gonna [...]
