Well, the New Year is finally here and all of the after effects of watching a ball full of lights drop, drinking, kissing strangers or a loved one, watching college football bowl games, making resolutions and plans for the new year, and of course partying.....it's time to get the ball rolling. How will this year be different from last year? A lot of people are probably asking themselves that question, and with a new set of 365 days, the element of the unexpected is always lurking. In matters concerning Hip Hop........how will it get better or how [...]

Found these. May be a future classic so remember where you saw it first. I was in the dj booth with my fingers crossed that we were going to be free of F*bombs. We were. Freestyling without cursing can be difficult but, it is a standard here. Freestyling is crucial. Heck even I freestlye to exercise my brain not really to spazz out. It's fun if you know what your doing. Oh, and if you call yourself a rapper this is a must.

If you don't know by now then you need to get yourself up on game. Every month in Pensacola, FL, Hip Hop has a grand scale party and showcase at Sluggo's. Hosted by Big Lo with DJ Acrojam on the tables, talent such as Inferno, Gameplan, Troublesome, Rufat, Isreal, Dead Broke Records (E&J and Jay-C), and many more blaze the stage with the hot lyrics and classic Hip Hop production. The show last Friday served as the one year anniversary and none of the performers let the crowd down as the torch of the culture had a reason to burn [...]

Say what you want about the often described as "The Great White Hope" of Hip Hop, Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady aka Eminem is one of the best artist that has ever picked up a microphone. Critics will say that his material is just about drugs, his problems with his mom, and being white trailer trash and while they are right to some extent, they are missing the point of his true genius. The album title "Relapse" can be taken in many ways. The obvious is the battle with an [...]

As a Cali cat I must admit that I really am a big fan of The Notorious B.IG.. The conflict that he has with Tupac was a personal score that I feel got blown out of proporations and probably robbed the world of two highly talented artists who had layers of their being which came to life in their music. Well, today the movie "Notorious" is being released on DVD. In my opinion it is a must have for the collection and getting a bootleg version wouldn't go one of the greats in the game justice. Wish you were here [...]

We live in the times in which we are always quick to make opinions about people before we know what they are truly about. I'll admit that I have been guilty myself in the past but I have learned that you can unlock the true beauty of a person by giving all a fair chance to connect with you and show what they have to offer, (I'm sure we have all been in both set of shoes). This is proof in the pudding that attractive traits are based on the content of character. [...]

4-20 is almost here again. For those that are up on game this is like another holiday. If you are celebrating and in the Tallahassee area, check out the 4-20 Sessions being held at Club Down Below. The show should be pretty live with performance by Certified Official, Leaf Qwembi & Oplex, SBE, DVS Wun, Maniac Magee, The Urban Poet, and many more. Have a "Blazin" good time, :-) -Mr. Cummings

During a time when everything seems to be going bad: economy, music, A-Rod, etc......the ideal soundtrack to good vibes has been provided by Dela with "Change of Atmosphere", which is a compilation of songs put together in France by various artist.s. Crooked I said it best in a recent interview in which he said that he kind of does not like Hip Hop right now because now you have artist singing and the music is getting pulled further and further away from actual rapping, (good rapping at that). Well, thankfully there are some Emcee's who still pour their heart [...]

Credit goes to Aliya Ewing from Hip Hop DX for this. Was so dope that I had to share it. Much love and respect! According to the Wall Street Journal, The 25-year-old founder of WikiScanner, a database that tracks the IP addresses of anonymous Wikipedia editors (revealing that the CIA, the Vatican, and various Congressional staff members -among others- have made edits on the site to remove potentially sensitive information) is back at it again, this time causing controversy within Hip Hop: "Virgil Griffith used aggregated FaceBook [...]

Every city has a person or a group of people who help establish the "Underground Hip Hop" scene. On Monday March 2, 2009 Tallahassee, FL celebrated one of those people with the departure of DJ Mad Mardigan. Known for founding "Mundazed", a weekly hip hop event that was hosted at Club Down Below in Tallahassee, FL. Mardigan is heading to Kentucky to take further steps in the journey called life and is sure to be missed by a hosts of friends that became his extended family. The best is [...]

Music is something that is constantly evolving and growing each day. Any artist that dedicates their life to music understands that concept because they are evolving and growing daily as well. Thrill Da Playa and The HB Fraternity have come together to evolve Hip Hop to Hip Pop. Like any project it starts with the intro, in which "Everybody Rock"which is produced by Kboog and Thrill hits listeners with the up tempo music the world has come to love Thrill Da Playa for. However, it sets the tone to for the bridge of Hip Hop and Pop so that you [...]

It must be fate that has lead Joe Budden to this point. Once he was the artist that seemed to have a bright future and then he turned into the outcast of industry. One thing is for certain, there is nothing average about the writing ability of this Joe. "Padded Room" is part diary, part movie playing out in your mind, and part Joe Budden just getting busy on the microphone. With production for up and coming producers like The Klasix, Moss, and Blastah Beats to name a few, this album provides an element that only few apply [...]

Turning on the radio to listen to the local Hip Hop stations is kind of useless. There was a time when I would listen to the radio to find out what the new good songs were and to get information on albums that were about to be released. Now I get to hear the new single from an artist that will not be heard from in about in 9 months and I get the luxury of knowing that I can't buy his album but I can get his ringtone for .99cents. For a bonus if I buy two ringtones, (beat [...]

On Thursday February 12, 2009 history was made for Hip Hop in Tallahasse! (Video of live perfomance of Dead Broke Records. Much love to SBE for coming back on stage. United we are a force.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =P6e8TDnFL-s -Mr. Cummings

Point blank: P.O.S. is all over the place to with something with "Never Better". The production mixed Hip Hop and Rock on several occasions as P.OS. switches gears with his flow on frequent basis to draw listners in. "Savion Glover" is a recruiting call for substance to come back to the culture that we all know and love. The gear change in delivery is shown on the title track "Never Better" that tries to pinpoint that its now or never for aspiring Emcee's to show the world what they have to offer. While this may not be the album to [...]

There is something about the production that was provided by Jay Dilla that makes anything he touched feel like the sanctuary of Hip Hop and just plain good music. Illa J provides the thrill of more of Dilla's touch with the "Yancey Boys". Though the project does not take you anywhere different from what we have come to expect from Illa J it still resurrects a tone in music that expressed what the artist may have been feeling at the time and what to share with the world. The track "Timeless" embodies that notion of this being more of a [...]

So from time to time I talk to random people about what's going on in the community here in Tallahassee and this is what I came across recently. I wanted to share with you all. It goes a little somthin' like this. Whack Rapper:"Yo Acro, whatup? I heard you makin' moves. I rap, you'll spin this at your next gig? Me:"Yeah man pushin' hard keeping the grind steady in the year of the ox. Send me a track and I'll give it a listen. I can't guarantee that I'll play it but, I have a radio [...]

The day has finally come. Today proves that dreams come true, that a vision can be fulfilled, that hard work pays off, that discipline and dedication offers great rewards, and that change, positive and historic change can take place. Let us truly now be the "UNITED States of America". Much love and respect to President Barack Obama and his family. Much love and respect to you and yours. Peace and Blessings James J. Cummings
