^ Actual title for NPR’s “All Things Considered” feature on Aziz Ansari. If the show wasn’t so good and public entertainment wasn’t so free, I would make fun of it. But I’ll take the high-road on this one. Oh, and watch “Parks and Rec,” it keeps getting better by the week.

DJ Premier’s Grandmaster Roc Raida Tribute
Real recognize real. One legend paying tribute to another.

I bet she’s even left handed
I bet she thinks her upbringing as a Latina woman gives her a better perspective as a pitcher, too.
Save the Uptown Bar!!!!!
Please just do this. Don’t make me have to start hoarding pint glasses if it doesn’t reopen. And as always, support local business.
If you want to see The Uptown reopen at a new location, I need everybody to gather as many signatures as they possibly can and get them to me at The Uptown. If [...]
Some shameful shit
This is the type of isht that makes you ashamed to be from Minnesota from the Unites States white a human being. In the Minneapolis suburb Brooklyn Park, an autistic teen became the victim of three idiots’ hate. Fucked up. Again, the ripple effect of Obama’s election is being manifested in some angry and disturbing [...]
Who’s gonna hunt Chris Brown tonight?
Time for most of you to play catch-up and find out who Affion Crockett is.
The Pump Has Been Primed
Not gonna go on for too long on this — my man Bethlehem Shoals of The Baseline and Free Darko has it on lock. The topic of the conversation is mental illness in the NBA. It’s certainly been there for awhile (Shawn Kemp and Vin Baker immediately pop into my mind), but the recent sagas [...]
Oh. Hecky. Nah.
Damn. This isht is too funny. Peep the love below to check out Jack White doing his best Kanye West impression. ”Imaletyoufinish.” And if you think about it, it’s really just Jack White doing his best ODB.
New Tennille!!!
When she got an a$$ made of diamonds.
Do I ever you steer you wrong?!?! I mean do I???? And even if you don’t like something, it’s not like it cost you anything, right?? So you’ve got no excuse not to download this and no reason to hate.
So here’s what you gotta do. Find the link [...]
The Media Assassin
So a lot of yapping has happened in the past week — much of it due to Mr. Kanye West’s behavior last Sunday. Not gonna defend the manically bi-polar West, but it really wasn’t that big of a deal. It happened, he looked like a jackass, and that country girl and Beyonce came out smelling [...]
An unfortunate loss
Sad news from the weekend. Legendary and groundbreaking DJ Grandmaster Roc Raida passed away after still uncertain and unsubstantiated circumstances. Roc Raida and the rest of the X-ecutioner’s completely revolutionized what it meant to be a hip hop DJ. Roc, Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, and Total Eclipse inspired countless DJs. He forever changed hip hop and [...]
Smile For Me Now
S’more new music. Kid CuDDer, K’Naan, Glass Candy (re-tworking Geto Boys!!!), Mac Lethal, Brother Ali, Black Keys (in the form of Blakroc), Wings, Amadou and Miriam, Black Rain, and mui mui more.

Don’t Think Twice
Last in their three part “Messengers” series, here is J. Period and K’Naan’s Bob Dylan tribute. And it’s sooooooooooooooo Paul Pierce aka the TRUTH!! Little disjointed and out of left field compared to the first two (Fela Kuti and Bob Marley combined seem to encapsulate K’Naan’s lifestory and musical lineage), but it made sense cuz [...]
Common & The Roots – “Act Too…Love of My Life”
Common and The Roots getting down in the Chi. Loves it. Only wish that this whole Hennessy Artistry series would be coming to my hood.
Props to Fake Shore Drive and Andrew.
Barry vs. Hennessy drinking-ass Kanye
This needs no explanation….simply watch. Although if it needs explanation, you either have no political accumen or pop culture relevance.
UPDATE: you can blame it on the al-al-al-al-al-alcohol…..and by blame I mean both Kanyeezy’s behavior and the entire Jackson fam state of being.
You can call him moon man
From his appearance on Friday’s “Late Show with David Letterman,” here’s a new song off Kid CuDi’s upcoming “Man on the Moon…” (out Tuesday!!) – ”Pursuit of Happiness” ft Ratatat.
Like Mike
If you know me, you know how much the man means to me. From dictating what I wear to what I played to how I played it, nothing can compare to His Airness. Shit, I even carved the Dunkman in the back of my dome piece in fourth grade (pic coming soon). I literally grew [...]
Who do I like more???
As much as I love Aziz Ansari for helping me find gems like this, I think David Cross is even cooler for making this his bio.
These Look Tight — No Homer!!
The 21st season of the Simpson’s is about to start up and the good folks at Format Mag and Moxie Creative have linked up to get down with the get down. Turning some of the GOAT rappers into their own Simpson’s character, it’s tough not to get a good laugh at these. I love Biggie [...]
Can’t Tell Me Nothin’
This simply never gets old.
PS – I’m experimenting with my new “Vodpod” button so expect plenty o’ videos in the coming days as I play it out with a quickness.
IKEA Heights
Anything having to do with IKEA not involving me going there cracks me up (see Raaaaaaaandy’s Ooksa for an example), but this is too much. It’s “IKEA Heights” and it’s a series that’s been entirely shot on location at the IKEA in Burbank, CA. What’s better is that no one in IKEA has a clue [...]
PBJ x Hip Hop = Love Explosion
Now I’ve always been someone on the fence with this whole mash-up bidness, but you can’t hate on good music, right? This is an example of good music. Mick Boogie’s newest tape and salute to the trio Peter Bjorn & John is finally here and I for one am feeling it. It’s hard for me [...]
Laugh, Kookaburra
Ahhh, David Sedaris. I don’t really know where to start with him. I can say two things with the utmost sincerity – first, your favorite Sedaris book is guaranteed to be the first one that you ever read; and two, anytime I’m in need of a good, fun read, he’s without a doubt the writer I turn to. That [...]
