THE NOCTURNAL IS IN THE HOUSE!! A day after being disappointed with the Rock The Bells lineup release, I put together this lineup of my own. Also, I mixed some G-Funk into the playlist just to honor the nice weather we've been getting in California. Don't get on my case about it not being purely hip-hop only!! Anyways, hope you enjoy. (Might as well give Cudi the first song, huh) Kid Cudi - That Girl Vontel - Say Playa Lewis Parker - The Chase [...]

I heard a story about Bushwick Bill, his girlfriend, and insurance money. Apparently he wanted his girl to kill him so either her, his mom, or both of them could inherit some money. I don't know if this is true or not, but what I do know is that he put out some dope tracks. I'll start out this playlist with a song from the Little Big Man himself. Bushwick Bill - Call Me Crazy Mac Dre - Hoez Love It Central Dynasty - [...]
Here it is, the lost installment that some of you were asking for. From now on, you could expect a new Hip-Hop playlist every first of the month.

Leopard North Face jacket—check. Fresh pair of Nike athletic gloves—check. Male lime green Ugg boots—check. Would I be a hater if I said this video was weak sauce? Fuck it, I'm a hater. I appreciate the love they showed to the Bay, but besides that this jawn is el trash. Cameos from E-40, Mistah F.A.B. and the late Mac Dre's mother, Wanda Salvatto, in this one. Take Care has officially gone platinum and can currently be heard every three minutes on every urban radio station in the world. OVOXO count how many times I say " [...]

Had to do it. Here's a playlist of some of my favorite West Coast tracks, mostly from the G-Funk era. When people think West Coast, this is some of the stuff they'll hear playing in their head.

It was a confusing time for music...and to be a teenager. The beginning of the new millennium was a tough time to be a high schooler.
<!-- <!-- <!-- Footage from N.O.R.E.'s show at the Rockit Room in San Francisco. N.O.R.E. stops his show to pay tribute to a Bay Area legend, Mac Dre, and performs his current smash "Finito".

The other day, I was rolling around solo style. Windows down. Stocks turned all the way up. The track enacting my fool at that point in time happened to be "Feelin' Myself" by the minister of Thizz, Mac Dre . Because of the playfully twisted beat and on behalf of the fallen, I was blatantly oblivious to my surroundings and amidst a state of bonelessness. As I made my right turn and the car previously to my left went forward, I saw a tattered big body full of snotty, underage goth chicks were staring back, mocking [...]
Thanks to Spenser for hitting me up with this 24:00 minute "Best Of" Mac Dre mix by DJ Morse Code. The name of the mix is exactly how I would have put it to - though he might not be always on your mind, whether it's rapper acting silly, kids throwing thizz faces at raves, or simply much of the daily slang used today, Mac Dre's influence on the rap game is still felt today. Stream below and click to download. More DJ Morse Code here
In the music that got me blogging about music series, we've gone from the Midwest all the way to Japan and all along the West Coast. Now, we focus on one of the most influential hip-hop areas around, The Bay Area. As small as The Bay Area is compared to any other area I've covered, it's definitely rich with the best hip-hop around. I could've made a top 25 bay area groups, but that would've been a little much. This top 5 (or so), however, is some of my favorite hip-hop groups of all time. [...]

Welcome to the third-ever " On The iPod " feature. This feature was created about seven months ago, and I was hoping to make it a more regular feature, but, totally understandably, it takes people a while to prepare their list of what could be their Top 10 Songs of All Time. To refresh your memories, let me recap what this feature entails. We are asking people, be they artists, listeners, or fans, what they would do if they were stranded on an island with an iPod that held only 10 songs. Which songs would they [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Ghost Ride the Whip (The Hyphy Movement) is a documentary based on where the Bay Area got its roots from and why the culture is like it is today. It covers many key proponents of the movement, including Keek da Sneek , E-40 , and even M.C. Hammer , but one in particular is highlighted, Mac Dre . When I first heard about Mac Dre in 2004 I had just started out college. My roommate, who's from the [...]

I shudder when I think about how many kids have never listened to Mac Dre. I heard a kid ask what "hyphy" was the other night and if I had been drinking milk at the time let's just say it would have come out of my nose. I proceeded to beat the kid to death.* It was fucking hilarious. If Mac Dre was still alive and was running for president with the lyrics for this song as his platform there is no way in hell I wouldn't vote for him. I'm all about smoking weed, [...]
