Give me Outkast or give me death!

  While MTV is pretty much worthless nowadays, MTV.com can at least drop a gem every now and again, such as last week, when they scored an interview with the ever-elusive Andre Benjamin while on the set of the upcoming video for UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem,” which features Outkast, and..

10 years later and still funky fresh.

You’re wrong for that, YouTube.] I wouldn’t trust YouTube commenters as far as I could throw ’em, but reading through what people say about these videos, it seems like, for a hip hop fan, either you love Camp Lo like a first-born..

Joe Budden Mood Muzik 3 Trailer.

Just saw this, really puts it in perspective how well received Budden’s mixtape series is. I’m looking forward to this as much as I look forward to retail releases. When you put out a trailer for a mixtape that doesn’t look foolish you know there is a high demand. Oh by the way, Joe Budden..

Fight For Your Right To Party.

Speaks kind of negatively about the state of hip hop and the music industry when being released by a record label is cause for celebration, doesn’t it? Peep the trailer for (new free agents) Dilated Peoples’ Release Party DVD/CD, set for release July 31st. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwilPOUl9is[/youtube] I found it kind of..

Game Time!*

[* – Not clever at all, I know. Couldn’t really come up with anything better.] Hell of a find over at the always-on-point Spine Magazine, for those interested. Five tracks from The Game, apparently all produced by Dr. Dre, which were left off of the Doctor’s Advocate, likely because they..

An Open Letter to All Memphis Grizzlies Fans.

Yes, to all of you. All two of you. Your team pretty much tanked this past season, to the tune of a 22-60 record. They fired their coach mid-season. They rested their seasoned veterans and gave playing time to their young up-and-comers. They disgruntled their already-disgruntled star, Pau Gasol, even..

New Twista single Give It Up produced by Pharrell.

 Pharrell produced this up-tempo with a lot of pots and pans sounding drums and synths. I enjoyed hearing Twista name-checking Red Hot Chili Peppers. I’m still on the fence if this is a “hit” recrod. Grab the track here. Thanks to the fader. Sphere: Related Content
