If you were a boy during the 80s there is a good chance that just the mention of Hadouken or Shoryuken will throw you into such an intense state of fury that you might pop a blood vessel. Before Mortal Kombat, before Goldeneye, and long before Super Smash Bros. there was Street Fighter—the wild west […]

It’s been a while since Hulu has put out a hip-hop documentary for me to post and help you waste your time with, but it’s finally happened again. The newest documentary, Beat Makers, takes us into the world of hip-hop producers. I should point out that the film is a little heavy on the music […]

Okay, so this is by no means new, but when I first heard that Kanye was going to be on The Cleveland Show I filed it under “pass” along with getting my nails done did and watching Glee (I’d rather stick a taco in my mouth and the Taco-Bell Chihuahua in my ass and let […]

Not Myself Tonight: Have you ever gone to a party only to find out that someone is wearing the exact same outfit as you, only they’re rockin’ it much, much better. This is kinda like that. Perhaps Christina has been out of the game for so long that no one told her about Lady Gaga. […]

The sticky icky, the green monster, Thelonious Skunk, whatever you call it, today is the unofficial day that potheads and high schoolers the world around celebrate its existence. It should come as no surprise that the Doggfather of Ganj would release another record and video about smoking bud, but this time he is joined by […]

Well, it’s official, I hate the Dodgers now.  A friend emailed me the “story” from the bay area-centric news site, sfist.com, by way of CALIBER (which has some amazing photographs of life in SF that do not involve Satan’s child by the way).  I thought I’d leave this one alone, but all it seemed to […]

The theme of the show this week was the firsts of the firsts. It took a whole lot of work to compile the playlist, and even more work to judge whether or not something truly was the first of it’s kind, but in the end T and I were pretty happy with the result. If […]

Reflection Eternal just put out the first video from their new album, Revolutions Per Minute, and it’s everything you would expect from the legendary duo. Featuring a scarily on-point Bun B, “Paranoid” showcases not only Talib Kweli’s masterful flow, but solidifies his reputation as a quote-unquote “conscious rapper’, whether he likes it or not. The […]
