Picture by Tori Boyd I know the sound quality isn’t great but here is another gem from the Distant Relatives, Nas and Damian Marley from Rock The Bells 2009 in Chicago. I’m still salty I missed this shit. I’m not sure what the song title is but it is incredible that these two cats are [...]

Lost Your Vibe?

“We are not the same I am a Martian” Don’t feel so bad because the whole world did too. Vibe Magazine is officially no more. They closed their doors after 16 years. Maybe they featured Lil Wayne just ONE too many times. If ya’ll don’t believe Lil Wayne is an alien by that picture then [...]

Drake rocking Fakes?????? After writing my post this morning about J. Cole, I was having another discussion with some people about Drake and the same points always come up about this new generation of emcees/rappers. Why are these average cats getting love and shine like they are the greatest things since the snuggie? Wait bad [...]

My ace, Dakota Blue recently just dropped some new pictures of the Thunderheist, He Say She Say and Money Penny show he went too. I can’t say that I have heard any music from the artists but he said the show was dope and the pictures, of course, turned out ill. Check a few of [...]

Call me a hater or just schlow to hop on bandwagons(I call myself a trendsetter…smh) but I rarely rush out to listen to the newest internet rapper with a song/mixtape that everyone pegs as “dope, refreshing, a beast.” I tend to stick to my guns and welcome referrals from friend’s whose musical taste I trust.

I wasn’t fortunate enough to go to Rock The Bells this year in Chicago(2nd year in a row……sigh) but The League’s own, Tori Boyd, was in attendance with a press pass to take flicks. He hit me up yesterday morning and started sending me pictures. Needless to say, he got INCREDIBLE pictures. Some of them [...]

I didn’t get a chance to see Erykah Badu perform with The Roots on Jimmy Fallon Friday but I know they killed it. Check out the audio of the tribute they did to Michael Jackson. Usually I don’t fuck with tribute songs but c’mon it’s The Roots and Erykah Badu. They know what they are [...]

The road to stardom(haha) has many challenges but perhaps the most difficult is seeing pictures and videos of all the BEACHES dressed up for the award shows. Take a look at what I mean. I know I better be invited to the 2011 BET Awards. GOOD LAWD thats a lot of money.

“rapped like a mummy, not for the money, I could have sampled Diana Ross a long time ago” Ahhhhhhhh……The days when Common actually meant what he said. JK. This Monday is looking a little brighter than the usual ones. The temperature/fever has seemed to break and I got a 4 day work week that ends with [...]
The True Power

There isn’t a lot more that I can say that hasn’t already been said about Michael Jackson, his music and his legacy. It is an absolute tragedy that the undisputed King of Pop, King of everything is dead. His life will forever be shadowed by controversy and mystery but his reach and the power of his [...]
