Anytime Atmosphere and their crew of Rhymesayers comes charging through your town there are two things that are guaranteed – cheap ticket prices and more bang for your buck than you’ll find at a titty bar. Seriously, just show up and let Slug do all the work from up on stage then proceed to close the deal [...]

“Sometimes I miss prison.”
It’s all true. Your life is as fucked up as you think it is. And there’s company, too. How do I know? People are sharing some of the darkest shit their minds have to offer through (not Twitter, Facebook or MySpace) a little project called PostSecret.
“Knowing you don’t [...]

It’s time to face the facts – your favorite baseball team sucks and you still don’t have a job – and this ever-present realization is why the beer hasn’t been tasting as good as it once did. Maybe we need some football. High school football, Arena Football, something. Got to shake it off. Get back [...]

There were over 7,ooo miles of land and sea, along with some 17 hours, in between the place Reham Radwan calls home and where she recently landed in China. Visits were made to Ghuanzhou, Sheinzin and Hong Kong. These are some of the images that caught her eye before returning to Miami.

You know them. They’re everywhere. Maybe they live next door to you, and through your paper thin ghetto-ass walls you can hear them scream at the top of their lungs at their poor girlfriend to get the screaming little shit of a kid because “I’m playing Xbox!” Maybe you actually heard one [...]

This man is currently one of the best, yet one of the most underrated beatsmiths doing it. He dropped an amazingly dope album White Van Music last year on Rhymesayers Entertainment and has an upcoming album in the works with Freeway (that shit is gonna knock!!!!!). He has the great ability to produce for all types [...]

Shortly after former Clipse manager, Anthony ”Geezy” Gonzalez, was charged with running a $10-million a year drug ring, one-half of “crack rap’s” dynamic duo started blessing us with the greatest video blogging (VLOG) series in the history of hip hop.
Malice, the often overlooked and completely underrated brother of the best duo in [...]

Didn’t know what to expect upon taking in my very first live “country music” show over the weekend. Especially once the Hispanic bouncer at the door asked if I was packing any knives as he patted me down.
But even that wasn’t as shocking as the mosh pit that broke out down front. Or [...]

Please, stop me from rambling on and on if you’re already familiar with this particular automobile device. It blinks, to the left and to the right, with the idea of alerting other drivers on the roadways of your intentions to either turn or switch lanes.

Throughout the past three decades the true human drama unfolding before you is as real as reality television [...]
