Friday Night ‘Fro: The Premiere (by B-Easy)

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. Read more

The Numbers Game: T.I. Still On Paper Trail (by B-Easy)

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 do think it helps him that no big Hip-Hop names have dropped anything in the last 4 weeks Read more

Jay-Z & Coldplay|Viva La Hova [Download] (by B-Easy)

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?), I actually liked it Read more

Song of the Week: Sean Billz - “Change” (by King Jerm)

This week I decided to switch gears a little bit and get political for a second. We didn’t want to be the reason that Barry didn’t get elected to the White House, that’s why we waited to say anything about our political associations. My good friend Sean Billz did a song that was inspired by Obama’s recent run to the White House. Read more

Turn Yo’ Headphones Up: Heavy D|Vibes (by Saule Wright)

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 Dee going this far left of his legendary Hip-Hop status. Read more

The Knux|Remind Me In 3 Days (by B-Easy)

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?) they were in XXL wearing “short-shorts” Read more

BET Hip Hop Awards 2008: The Cypher 1, 2, & 3 (by B-Easy)

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 they’ve done previously),they included The Cypher. Although all the participates weren’t exactly great Read more

The Lost Tapes Of 26 Things (by King Jerm)

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 of course! Read more

The Numbers Game: T.I. Is #2 & The Game Gets Gold (by B-Easy)

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 it’ll makes waves next week either). Read more

The Evolution Of Weezy (by King Jerm)

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 disagree with this claim; however, the proof is in the pudding. If you practice your craft as long and as hard as Wayne, at some point you have to get good. Read more
