“Luv This Game”
Even though the Jets didn’t do the unthinkable and make it to the big game (Yes, I may be the only lifelong Jets fan out of Georgia) or even though Farve didn’t give his story a happy ending with that lame ass pass, I’m still excited about Super Bowl XLIV. You might be even one [...]
“Death To Mixtapes…Well A Coma”
I trust you read the title. Now that I have your attention…. Mixtapes. Mixtapes. Mixtapes. I love them as much as the next guy. Cheap, inventive, and it’s an avenue in many cases where artists can cut loose and do some amazing things. We’re in that day and age at the [...]
The Numbers Game: Keri Hilson, Jim Jones, & Slim Thug Debut
Keri Hilson often delayed debut album In A Perfect World… finally makes it’s way on to the sales rack and the results were pretty good. It debuted at #4 and almost moved 100,000 copies. I mean, I don’t know if this is the birth of
Slim Thug|Boss Of All Bosses
I said this before, but I’ll say it again: If I had to choose my favorite rapper out of Houston, it’s a good chance it might be Slim Thug. No disrespect to Scarface, Bun-B, or Pimp C (All are legends; Two are also technically from Port Arthur, Texas).

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 [...]
The Numbers Game: Young Jeezy Gets #1 Spot
Of course we all knew Jeezy would take the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. King Jerm predicted The Recession to go Gold in the first week. I personally said he’ll do about a little over what The Game did last week. With a official total of 260,569, we see who won that contest (Come [...]
Boss Hogg Outlawz|Back By Blockular Demand
A few years ago when Hip-Hop turned its eye towards Houston, the forerunners of this new movement were Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, & Slim Thug. While all of these rappers achieved success with albums, the only who didn’t gain platinum status was Slim Thug. But for some reason, I always preferred Slim Thug out [...]
R.I.P. = The H-Town Movement [2005 – 2006]
Remember in 2005 when Houston was the “New Atlanta”? Well what happened to that movement? Houston had the game on lock with new stars on the horizon like Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, and Lil’ Flip. But after 2005, these guys disappeared from the face of the planet.
4 Songs/Beats That Jay-Z Passed On
The other week I heard the original version of Jay-Z’s “Dig A Hole”. The thing that was surprising is that beat that was used was from Fabolous’ “Return Of The Hustle”. While this kind of thing is common in rap music, it made me remember other times Jay-Z
