Friday Night ‘Fro: Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2
Yeah, you on the right site. Question: What do you do when you have to an hour & 1/2 drive ahead of you but you also have to make a Friday Night ‘Fro post? I’d put up one of my all time favorites: Kill Bill. These 2 movies combines some of my favorite things (Karate [...]
E-40|The Ball Street Journal
One thing about E-40 is that he never compromised his sound one bit. The 40 we are getting now is the same 40 we were getting back in the day. This time a little older, a little wiser and hella paid. The West Coast vet has been in the game nearly twenty years and has [...]
The Numbers Game: Beyoncé Is #1
Did anybody think Beyoncé wasn’t gonna get the #1 spot this week? I mean, this is her third straight #1 album. But don’t ask me about how I Am…Sasha Fierce sounds; I only heard the songs played on the radio (I asked my girl and she mumbled something about bullshit and walked off). Well, I [...]
Song of the Week: Jay-Z – “Imaginary Player”
Well with this installment of Song of the Week, I decided to point out something that was emailed me the other day. My boy Guy Fawkes told me about this certain website that was swagger jacking the Fro! I was going to let this slide because imagery is the biggest form of flattery, but [...]
Chamillionaire|Mixtape Messiah 5 [Mixtape]
The mixtape that all you guys have been waiting on is finally here and we have it on nappyafro! Chamillionaire returns with his Mixtape Messiah series (this time for free) looking to get his spot back in the game. Chamillionaire is one of the best lyricists out of Houston, and one of the last [...]
Ludacris|Theater Of The Mind
How do you label Ludacris? Is he a southern rapper? Is he a Hip-Hop mogul? Is he a rapper-turned actor? To me Luda is all of these, and none of these. When you think southern rap, you think of guys like Shawty LO, Soulja Boy, & Gucci Mane. I hope everyone can agree that Ludacris [...]
Kanye West|808’s & Heartbreak
Mr. West has tried to diversify his music for most of his career; The College Dropout was a Hip-Hop record with the sampling and soul music of The Blueprint, Late Registration was the album where his production took center-stage, while his rapping was still great. Graduation is where Kanye really started killing it with lyrics [...]
Friday Night ‘Fro: “Martin & Soulja Boy”
Well I’m back again for this week’s version of Friday Night ‘Fro! This week I wanted to grant a request from two people, B-Easy and P-Body. Easy and P-Body wanted me to show some love to Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em’s new video, which they both love so much. You know I like giving the [...]
The Numbers Game: T-Pain Debuts At #4
If the image here isn’t sign enough, T-Pain’s third album Thr33 Ringz debuted this week at #4 selling about 160,000 copies…160,000 copies? I guess that’s not bad for today’s market, but seeing at how much I’ve been seeing Teddy Penderazdoun lately I guess I expected more. Plus the #4 seems kinda low too (But then [...]
iPod Hustle: Norah Jones + Hip-Hop
Norah Jones? Norah f*ckng Jones? That smooth-jazz mellow white girl that sings, plays instruments, and is prominently featured on “easy listening” radio stations? Yea, B-Easy has finally lost his mind. Well not really; if you remember last year I did do a whole thing on Chris Martin’s role on tracks by Jay-Z, Kanye West, & [...]
