2008 Songs Of The Year (Staff Picks)

At first we were gonna do a recap this year’s most notable songs featured in our Song of the Week column. But seeing how some of the songs weren’t actually made in 2008, it really wouldn’t have worked. So instead of voting for a single “Song of the Year”, we thought; “Why not just let each staff member pick their favorite 5 songs of the year?” So here they are. No voting. No debates. Read more

DJ Khaled feat. Jay-Z, Kanye West, & T-Pain - “Go Hard (remix)” (by B-Easy)

Okay, I have no idea where this came from. Jay-Z jumps on one of my favorite tracks of ‘08, DJ Khaled’s “Go Hard”. It’s been a while since we just threw up a hot song (And since I’ve been called a Jay-Z stan, you probably already know how I feel like about this…). And even though the rest of the song is still original, it’s still a surprise to hear this. Read more

Friday Night ‘Fro: “Pulp Fiction” (by B-Easy)

I hope I didn’t fool anybody with the title of this post; this has nothing to do with the movie that revived John Travolta’s career (I do love that movie Pulp Fiction though). I think I’m just gonna throw up some random title so every Friday Night ‘Fro won’t be just called…Friday Night ‘Fro. I’m not gonna be to long  today; it is Friday after all. Read more

The Numbers Game: Ne-Yo Is #2 (by B-Easy)

Okay, I’ll admit it. When you all said Ne-Yo was gonna sell around 200,000 albums in the first week, I laughed. Then I actually listened to Year Of The Gentleman (After Thic got his grown man on and wrote a dope article about it) and I was like, “Yea, 200,000 is about right”. Even though Usher almost hit first week Gold earlier this year with Here I Stand, I actually think Ne-Yo has a WAY better chance at R&B album of the year honors (But what do I know, I listen to Hip-Hop 95% of the time) Read more

DJ Khaled|We Global (by B-Easy)

For a few years now, it seems like DJ Khaled is every hot rappers’ new best friend. Armed with the fortune of reppin’ from the hotbed of Hip-Hop right now (Florida), Khaled is most known for getting the most premier rappers together on songs (As well as yelling at the top of his lungs “We the best!” constantly). Now he’s on the verge of releasing his third album Read more

Song of the Week: Yeezy, Jeezy, Esco, & Teddy (by B-Easy)

I know you wondering; Didn’t you all do a Song of the Week already? The answer: Yes. But I’m a big enough man to know when I fucked up. The other day when I posted the SOTW, I was trying to plan ahead since I wasn’t going to be around a computer for the rest of the day. Not to say The Game & Ice Cube weren’t good choices. There was just better choices. Read more
