The musical guest appearance is a big draw to most any television talk show. And through the years there have been some unforgettable performances that hopefully one day can be compiled together and released for our viewing (and hearing) enjoyment… RZA and Craig Ferguson – NWA and Arsenio Hall – [...]
The music video. Who remembers when this art form actually meant something? That was back when MTV and other “music video channels” actually played music videos for music fans. The platform was once used as a way to introduce new sounds to a new audience. And it worked from where we sat. At least for [...]
You don’t see the kind of unity today in hip-hop that there was back in the day, when moments such as this one on the Arsenio Hall Show could be expected and appreciated by fans. There are appearances by KRS-One, Guru, Wu-Tang, Naughty by Nature, Das EFX and Tribe Called Quest, among others. [...]

We’ve got videos. Some are timely, others just interesting… As of late, stories of pirates highjacking boats seem to be the rage nowadays. (And Johnny Depp is not even part of the production this time around). But aside from that, did you realize earlier this month that April 5, 2009 marked 15 years since Nirvana [...]

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. [...]
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. [...]

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, [...]
