Barack, you bonehead. Man, did you piss me off. I mean, I’ve been a vocal supporter, even to people who would rather dismiss you as a false idol or ‘maginary messiah. I’ve said, “Come on, give the guy a chance.”
Then you go and say something ignorant, immature and exactly what the legislative [...]

I’ve tried to get this review started five times now, but I just don’t know how to introduce the fact that Brother Ali is fucking ridiculously talented. Or to find a way to talk about his recently released EP The Truth Is Here without sounding like a Rhymesayers Stan (my previous P.O.S. post [...]

Take our word for it, everyone has an opinion this time of the year. And this happens to be ours. The Joint Contrast Final Four looks like this – Louisville, Memphis, Pittsburgh and Oklahoma – discuss amongst yourself…

Arguably the best holiday on the calendar, St. Patrick’s Day has been known to bring people of all walks of life together for a festive day of fun and craziness. Be sure to take part in some form or another!
Start off with an Irish beer or two. Or maybe you prefer Irish whiskey instead. Just [...]

While working abroad in the Middle East earlier this year, Ahmad Ihweij captured these images of Egypt as he made his way through the northeastern part of Africa.

“MY FIRST UFC EVENT”

Mar 12th, 2009 | By JC | Category: - SPORTS, -- MMA, Featured Articles, –– Steve P.

By – Dank Lucas
Fuckerys, disappointments, and goddamn cameramen in my way, were all prevalent at my first live Ultimate Fighting Championship event. But the overall theme of the night was everybody’s favorite two letter acronym – the KO. Seven of the 10 fights ended in either KO or TKO fashion, most notably the hometown boy, [...]

I’ve decided to take my “This Shit Right Here” column in a different direction. I don’t want to lazily rush through whichever uninspiring album, by whatever recognizable name that gets put on my plate for me to write an absurd review about. I feel these reviews are oftentimes rushed. And seriously, what [...]
