What is the American dream exactly? We love to talk about it, but no one ever seems to come up with a clear cut answer. In coordination with the folks at American Family Insurance , we get another crack at the idea. Because our primary focus here at Potholes is hip-hop, we decided to focus on the what the American dream means to the culture - from the golden chains of the bling era to the Roots scoring a residency with Jimmy Fallon. Beyond that, we want to hear from you, what does the "American Dream" mean to you? Share [...]

Nothing signals the beginning of snowboard than the sweet sweet basslines [...]
To begin this edition of Throwback Thursday, we're gonna start it out with one of the most underrated dance floor bangers of all time. The R&B group Next was able to create an entire song based around the concept of drawing wood while dancing with a fine honey on the dance floor, and it's beyond brilliant.

Props to Decent for the stellar Throwback suggestion. [...]

Titties : Eric B & Rakim - Paid In Full ( Seven Minutes Of Madness Coldcut Remix) (don [...]
