Yes, the rumors are true. You can now feature Royce da 5′9″ on your song for $1000. Harsh times or just giving back to the game?.

If you’re interested, hit up kino1147@gmail.com for details.

And in case you forgot what Royce can do on a mike, here’s Nickle Nine rhyming over Jay-Z’s Blue Magic:
Royce da 5′9″ – Blue Magic Freestyle

Method Man in Meet the Spartans


[Spotted at Wooha!]

Meet the Spartans is obviously an offshoot of the Scary Movie series. Method Man appears in the 300 spoof, as you can see in the trailer above.

Please Donate to the Jena 6 Fund


…because Robert Bailey needs more benjamins to lick on

Since I’m still a member of the Jena 6 blog activism community, it’s only right that I show you what one of the accused teenagers has been doing with part of his legal defense donations. The gentleman in the GooTube video above is Robert Bailey Jr., one of the Jena 6 students. Someone please tell this knucklehead that David Bowie wants his $10,000 back.

Now excuse me while I go beat up some random white boy.

Update: It was only a matter of time before some type of explanation surfaced. Rumor now has it that these pictures were taken prior to the Jena 6 episode. Still, that doesn’t justify putting $100 dollar bills in your mouth. You don’t know where that money’s been.

Common – thisisme then: the best of common cover

commonthisismethen.jpg

thisisme then, titled after one of Common’s songs, is a collection of hits from his early years. The compilation draws mostly from the wealth of bangers on Comm’s first fourthree albums: Can I Borrow a Dollar, Resurrection (his best work, imo), and One Day It’ll All Make Sense.

American Gangster Snippets

In case you only came to find out if Lil Wayne is really on American Gangster, the answer is yes and no. Other than that, I won’t sit here and pretend I’ve formed a judgment on the album based on 30-second snippets. In any case, it’s worth a listen if you’re a fan of good music. Check it out after the gap. Read the rest of this entry »

Blender Can’t Tell Common from Canibus

“I’m your worst nightmare squared/That’s double for n*ggas who ain’t mathematically aware†(Canibus, “Making a Name for Ourselves”)

In a bid to get a rise out of people like me, Blender listed Common and KRS-One among the worst lyricists in “rock,” citing the above Canibus lyrics as Comm’s worst rhyme. Ironically enough, their poor attempt at mockery resulted in a hilarious case of self-ridicule.

Foxy Brown – Lights Go Out

::Foxy Brown – Lights Go Out (taken from Don Diva)

Foxy Brown’s team has been doing a solid job of keeping her name alive, even when Foxy herself is bent on murdering whatever iota of pertinence she has left. Hip-hop fans are finicky. They’ll eventually get sick of an artist who’s constantly picking up charges when she could be dropping gems.

I’m still rooting for Inga, though. Can’t sit around and watch the last few talented femcees fade away from the game like an MJ jump shot.

Bonus Track:
Foxy ft. Mavado – We’re on Fire
