Afro Samurai: Resurrection [Movie]
Yeah, yeah, I know we ain’t a moview review website, but with the soundtrack to Afro Samurai: Resurrection out, I figure this is the perfect time to tell you what I thought of the movie. To be honest, it was awesome, but I feel like something was missing…I wanted to see more fights between Sio/Afro, [...]
Friday Night ‘Fro: Belly
I got some e-mails about how some of my recent movie picks featured on Friday Night ‘Fro didn’t really relate to Hip-Hop. Well to answer that; I thought that was the point. (Y’all slept on The Wrestler!). But if the people want a more Hip-Hop movie this week, I’ll give them Belly.
Site News: The Return
Sometimes things gotta be taken away from you to truly understand what they mean. These past days have really been insightful. If you visit nappyafro on a regular basis, then you know that for the past two days the site has been “temporarily unavailable”.
The Numbers Game: Kanye Stays At #4
We still here? I thought a Numbers Game this week wouldn’t see the light of day, but here we are. But hey, we’ll talk about that drama another time. Even though this January has been rough for the nappyafro crew, I can’t wait for this releases to start coming in. Think about it: Mariah Carey [...]
Jay-Z – “When The Money Goes”
At first I wasn’t gonna post this Jay-Z song. But when someone called me and said, “I heard a new song off Blueprint 3. It’s wack!”, I had to say something. Naw, this ain’t off Jay’s upcoming album, it’s a leftover track from American Gangster. I personally like it. Some people say it reminds them [...]
Certified Banger: Briana Loyd
What? Is nappyafro becoming one of “those” sites? Naw, we still about the music. We have been getting requests about doing more stuff showcasing ladies ever since Jerm threw up a pic of Miss Baxter a while ago. But in this current recession, while not diversify the portfolio a little bit (Booty = Traffic)? But [...]
OJ Da Juiceman|The Otha Side Of The Trap…
When one of your partners in rhyme is Gucci Mane, it’s a good chance you are not respected for lyrics, just “Trap Music”. Enter OJ Da Juiceman, the latest “trapstar” from Atlanta. Not too much is known about Da Juiceman outside of him being featured on Gucci’s mixtapes
Lil’ Wayne – “Prom Queen” & “Hot Revolver”
I know that a lot of you guys hate everything about Weezy, but I’m starting to understand why. How high was Weezy when he decided to make a rock album? Why didn’t anyone intervene and say that this might not be a good idea? Looking at the recent success of a rushed album by [...]
Independent Spotlight: Children of the Night
I actually paid some attention in school and I remember them saying that time is cyclical; meaning that things come back around. It’s true in wars and strategies, fads, and culture just to name a few. Hip-Hop is not immune to this natural occurring theme.
The Numbers Game: Notorious Debuts At #4
Not only did the soundtrack to the movie Notorious take the #4 spot on the album charts, the movie itself also took #4 at the box office (It grossed around 20 million dollars). Well, I guess thats not too bad. Of course we all wanted it to do better but then again it could have [...]
