Wu-Tang Clan|Chamber Music
With love comes jealousy. And a strong rise always leaves room for a rough fall. However, I never understood why Wu-Tang caught such strong hate after Wu-Tang Forever. It may have been over saturation of the market between the highly successful classic
Raekwon|Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… [1995]
People overuse the word “classic” when talking about albums these days. When 14 years can go by and your album is still fresh to every Hip-Hop head, that my friends, is CLASSIC. When your album is referred as “the Purple Tape” you know that is has to be one of Hip-Hop’s greatest masterpieces. I [...]
The RZA|The RZA Presents: Afro Samurai Resurrection [OST]
Damn, you know January/February is slow for Hip-Hop when we reviewing anime soundtracks. But hell, it is a Hip-Hop album. There are no scores from the movie either: just short, 45 second skits included in the tracks, so it’s a straight up, no nonsense Hip-Hop album.
Friday Night ‘Fro: Afro Samurai
Well, I figured if B-Easy could post Kill Bill and all those other weird ass movies, I could put up this. What is it, you ask? I’m not gonna lie: it is an anime from Japan, which means it is (takes deep breath) a cartoon. HOWEVER, I don’t think you will ever see such a [...]
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 [...]
The Numbers Game: Three 6 Debuts At #5
We at it again; time for another edition of The Numbers Game. It’s here where we talk about who sold what in the past week. In this edition, we have 4 debut but only 2 in the Top 50 (And only 1 is a Hip-Hop/Rap album). Three 6 Mafia does surprisingly well, Dwele does respectable [...]
RZA|Digi Snacks
While Hip-Hop used to be his only hustle, now RZA is making more noise in Hollywood with his sound. However he hasn’t forgot about his fans. Dropping his fourth solo album, Digi Snacks, RZA looks to capitalize on the shaky market. RZA already has a Platinum and Gold plaque for two previous efforts; can he [...]
Wu-Tang Clan|Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers [1993]
Released in 1993 during the East Coast Renaissance, a time which we saw Das EFX, Black Moon, Nas, Onyx, and many other NY groups were ushering in a new era in Hip-Hop. But no one was prepared for the worldwide impact of the Wu-Tang Clan. Boasting 9 members, RZA, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, [...]
