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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Happy New Year! 2008 was great but 2009 is mine. It's been a few weeks since my last post and just to give you the rundown: 1. Surpised my mom on Christmas back in California 2. Partied hard in Los Angeles 3. Met all types of people while in Los Angeles 4. Went to a Laker game and watched Kobe go for 40pts against the Jazz 5. Saw BB King perform live and got to shake his hand after the show 6. Met Meagan Good's cousin and told her to pass a message to Meagan for [...]

By now you are aware that the business world in the U.S. is facing a major challenge in trying to deal with the Big 3 automakers which are " General Motors Corp. , Chrysler, and Ford Motor Co. ". American made cars have been produced by these 3 companies for years and they are now looking at the prospects of having to file bankrupt and force what has been estimated to be 239,000 people lose their jobs. This is not the way to spend the holidays. Think about that, 239,000 people losing their jobs. That's a lot of [...]

November 18th, 2008. Fresh off of work and ready to watch the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Chicago Bulls. For those that don't know, I am from L.A. and I rep my California teams hard. My boy Tickle Cam (sorry, Killa does not apply to Bulls fans) reps Chicago to the fullest so we rounded up the crew, got a case of beer and a fresh plate of chicken, and linked up to watch the game. I will give credit where it is due, Derrick Rose is pretty nice. He scorded 25 points and had 9 assists, (not bad for [...]

Ok, so before Girl Talk blew up the fuck up, before Night Ripper became an instant classic, and way before Feed the Animals , Greg Gillis came out and opened for Man Man during the V89 WVFS Tallahassee 19th Brithday Bash on 10/16/06. That's right, 2006, before he was headlining every show he played, Girl Talk rocked our college radio station party... Greg Gillis came to our radio station about 4 hours before his performance and gave us all in Tallahassee a taste of what was to be heard. [...]
