Friday Night ‘Fro: The Premiere
We kicked this idea around for like 2 weeks; have a Friday specific column that we put up videos in (It seems like we kinda slack off on this day). What kind of videos? Whatever we like: movies, trailers, music videos, just whatever we want. It doesn’t necessarily have to be directly related to Hip-Hop.
The Numbers Game: T.I. Still On Paper Trail
Even though T.I. got bumped down to the #3 spot this week by the likes of AC/DC & the cast of High School Musical, Paper Trail is still only less than 30,000 copies away from Platinum status (And seeing how he pushing around a 100k a week…). Not to take anything away from Clifford, I [...]
Jay-Z & Coldplay|Viva La Hova [Mixtape]
Okay, I know I’m like 20 hours late on this one, but I had to do this for the 2 Jay-Z “stans” on staff (What’s up H20?). I saw this the other day and kinda wrote it off as another weak mash-up. But after actually listening to it today (Can you say THAT other websites?), [...]
Turn Yo’ Headphones Up: Heavy D|Vibes
Wassup FRO’mily. Ya Man is back with another edition of Turn Yo’ Headphones Up, new name, same Flair. I’d heard the rumors and undercurrents of The Hevster doing a Reggae album and initially, I turned my nose up at the idea. Sure, Hev is Jamaican, but I couldn’t conceive Mr. Diddly Diddly Diddly Diddly Diddly [...]
The Knux|Remind Me In 3 Days
Most people will openly admit that The Knux are a weird group to place in the Hip-Hop landscape. The duo, consisting of blood brothers Krispy Kreme & Rah Almillio, calls their music style “A little rock, a little electric band, heavy fucking Hip-Hop”. When I personally first saw The Knux (As in knuckleheads; get it?) [...]
BET Hip Hop Awards 2008: The Cypher 1, 2, & 3
I know the talk of Hip-Hop was last night’s 3rd BET Hip Hop Awards, but to be real with you, I missed it. Yep, I totally forgot about it and had to watch most of the show online. Even though I give BET a lot of flack, they did do one thing last night (As [...]
The Lost Tapes Of 26 Things
I noticed that the title says 26, but we only had 21. When I was going through my computer, I found the last 5. I wonder why these were not included on the list. Well, I don’t like to keep the fans waiting, here is the final 5 to complete the list. King Jerm style [...]
The Numbers Game: T.I. Is #2 & The Game Gets Gold
Since this week’s Numbers Game basically had no big Hip-Hop debuts and no noticeable movement, I’m basically mailing it in this week. A lot of albums got pushed to November too so the next few weeks might be a little slow (Even though I thought Statik Selektah’s Stick To The Script was good, I doubt [...]
The Evolution Of Weezy
People give Wayne a hard time for being good at what he does. Yes, he may have oversaturated the market. Can you really get mad at him for making music? Wayne has come a long way from being a member of the Hot Boys to being considered as the “Best Rapper Alive.” Some may [...]
