Following his team-up with Big Sean and Paul Wall on last week’s “Ol’ Skool Pontiac,” Jeremih links up with The Game for his latest rap&B collabo, “Let Loose.” While a lot of R&B artists try Hip-Hop influences on for size, Jeremih has a way of ingraining himself into Southern rap rhythms in a way that seems inherently natural. No word on whether it will show up on Jeremih’s upcoming Thumpy Johnson album, but “Let Loose” is plenty good enough to ride around with for a bit. [...]
What happened to Oscar Grant four years ago will forever be a black eye on the United States justice system. His beanie-clad picture has become the symbol for police brutality and excessive force. And living the Bay Area, just six stops away from the real Fruitvale Station, I've seen the very same station trashed on more than one occasion. Countless shards of glass scattered on the floor, threatening graffiti along the brink walls, and mobs of angry protesters. I've seen it all with my own two eyes. The scariest thing about the whole incident was [...]
Well that was quick. Obviously so flattered by my kind words on her "Locked In Closets" video, Solange returns the favor by dropping off her revamped version of "Looks Good With Trouble" with some guy named Kendrick Lamar. Cut from more a subdued and reserved cloth, the record is an impressive showing for both. No one will ever confuse me for a music video director, but given the proper budget and combining the creativity of both Kendrick and Solange, a visual wouldn't be a bad look as long as it's done [...]
The current iteration of the Memphis Grizzlies have been around for a while now. One can reasonably point to their 2011 playoff run - an upset of San Antonio in the first round, a loss to Oklahoma City in the second - as a sign of things to come. Down early, the Mike Conley-Marc Gasol-Zach Randolph troika held their ground and delivered a monumental overtime win to take a 3-1 series lead. The victory marked a demon exorcised by the Grizzly vets, memories of a triple-OT playoff loss to the Thunder in 2011 flashing back. [...]

@theashleyzee Start your day with Ashley Zee . End your day with Ashley Zee.
Despite key associations and enough talent to justify two-decade-long solo careers for each member, The Lox had their only legitimate hit in 19982s "Money, Power, Respect." Before the Ruff Ryders were popping wheelies all over mainstream radio and directly amidst Bad Boy's primetime in the spotlight, this D-Dot and Amen-Ra-produced hustler's anthem teamed the group with budding superstars like Lil Kim and their would-be chief DMX, to deliver a successful title track for their debut LP that would become an eventual crossover smash and garner the group the type of radio spins that made people stop watching [...]

Credit: TGA "Did Ainge do that on purpose? He just fired that at the back of Elie's head." - Doug Collins Damn right he did, Doug. Travel back a few months when Pat Riley told Danny Ainge to STFU and never speak on LeBron again unless he wanted to be found floating face down in a river. There was a reason Pat was so pissed off by Ainge's unflattering comments. On one hand, it was Riley's way [...]

"I come to you hungry and tired you give food and let me sleep I come to you weak you give strength and that's deep you called me a sheep and lead me to green pastures only asking that I keep the focus between the chapters You give me the word and only acts I interpret And give me the eyes so I can recognize the serpent You know I ain't perfect, but you'll like me to try And just like the devil who wants [...]
Dear Rev. Run, Out of respect for you and the invaluable contributions to our culture, we tried turning a blind eye to the gloriously thick woman your daughter has become, but we can't anymore. We just can't. Angela might still be daddy’s little girl to you, but to us she’s a grown 25-year-old woman, ripe for picking! We won’t try our hand by going on about how our nether regions are filled with desire for Angela (and your other daughter Vanessa , too). Instead, we're just going to quietly stare at these [...]
King Kendrick premieres the video for his latest single "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe." The scenes are simple, beginning at a funeral for a loved one before switching to a burial that turns into a jovial party. I'm going to let someone smarter than myself decide what the Mike Epps, "baptized in a pool full of liquor" and "Death To Molly" screen means.
Found on BSB Vol. 2 , Troy Ave recruits fellow NY'ers Smoke DZA and Young Lito along for the Austin Millz-produced "Bad Bitches." Let's just say there have been more original songs, too. The song isn't ass off the strength no one is rhyming "see spot/see spot run." Yet, the subject matter nor the lyrics separate it from 96% of other songs populating the Internet and airwaves these days.
Last Friday, I thumbed through the music files on my smartphone hoping to find something that would give me the energy to push through to the weekend. My eyes lit up as I landed on the Roc-A-Fella Hot 97 Takeover. Every few months, I find myself returning this personal favorite back to the top of my recently played folder. As Jay-Z howled in approval, the then newest additions to the Roc, Philadelphia’s Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Oschino & Sparks, and Young Chris of the Young Gunz, joined a too drunk to stay on beat H Money Bags and [...]
Gucci Mane hit the ground running once they let him out of jail. Since he's got a small amount of time before Traphouse 3 drops on May 21, he's steady cranking out tracks from the project and today we get "Use Me," featuring 2 Chainz and production by Honorable C.N.O.T.E. It's hard to imagine the tune being good considering how overexposed each of these guys is but, as Gucci subtly notes midway through, nobody else is making any noise and they're filling the void. Just when you thought you knew everything about Tity Boi, he [...]
The Thunder and the Bulls aren't out of the NBA playoffs yet, but each team's game four will do a lot in deciding how much longer their season will last. Both teams are down 2-1 in their respective series and need wins to keep their chances afloat. Even though game three was rough, the Heat look to be in command of their series versus the Bulls. Miami trumped the Bulls by 10 on Saturday, final score 104-94. Right now, the under-manned Chicago squad badly needs to take game four in order to remain competitive in [...]
As we mentioned last week , we're bringing back our Artist Week with a tribute to DMX on the 15th anniversary of his classic debut, It's Dark And Hell Is Hot . Why dedicate a week to a rapper who's been seen more of a car wreck and a punchline in recent years than a legend? The answer is easy: every rapper aspires to be DMX. Let me explain. Every rapper ideally strives to change the game. To make unflinching, uncompromising music that will force the masses to shift [...]
It’s no secret Bioshock is pretty amazing. And we’ve recently shown appreciation to their latest game, Bioshock Infinite . With this fan adoration and commercial success, you would expect a film of some sort to be in production or on the horizon. Instead, a group of film students from the Vancouver Film School got permission from 2K Games to make their own vision come to life, and we got The Brothers Rapture. Funded with personal and school provided dollars, they produced an 18-minute short film based around two bros and [...]
