Takin’ Em Back – Mack 10 – Backyard Boogie

22 05 2009

Since Summer is almost here and pool parties have been poppin off lately, it’s only right I hit you with this throwback Mack 10 video for “Backyard Boogie”. After 12 years, this joint still sounds nice making me miss 90’s West Coast music.





Charles Hamilton Gets “Styled On” by a Girl

22 05 2009

It seems that Charles Hamilton has a way of pissing people off with his words. First it was Soulja Boy, then it was Rhymefest, now a friendly battle between Charles and his lady friend gets ugly after a line he dropped. It’s obvious Charles hit it and she gets heated after he puts it out there. Peep the vid below:

The Lakers Take a L, Western Finals Tied 1-1

21 05 2009

Sports-Best-of-Week-April-20-April-26
Unfortunately the Lakers lost Game 2 of their series against Denver. Kobe and the Lakers were off to an excellent start but couldn’t hold the lead during the second half. After a tight fourth quarter, Luke Walton made a horrible attempt to tie the game by passing it to Derek Fisher who obviously missed since it didn’t lead to an overtime. The Nuggets took the lead with a score of 103-106.
Game 3 will be this Saturday in Denver.





Album Review: Method Man & Redman – Blackout! 2

21 05 2009

One of the rare occurrences in Hip Hop today is collaboration albums. Numerous solo albums filled with guest appearances have been released over the decade, but rarely do you see collaborative albums. Breaking this rare trend is the dynamic duo Method Man and Redman with their sequel to their platinum album Blackout! During their ten year hiatus, the two made a cult classic comedy, released two albums separately, and even had a short sitcom on Fox. The duo’s solo albums were both received as average, excluding Method Man’s commercial attempt Tical 0 which received bad reviews. Now with Hip Hop’s Cheech & Chong reunited, will the album spark more than the solo efforts, or will the album be another “Method & Red”?

Best News I Heard All Day: New Wu-Tang Album Coming Soon!

20 05 2009

Wu Tang Clan Chamber MusicI came across an ad for the legendary Wu-Tang Clan’s sixth studio album titled Chamber Music. Many people, including myself had no idea that a new Wu album was in the works, but apparently it is and is scheduled to be released June 30th. The last album 8 Diagrams was released in 2007 and the group experienced difficulties coming to an agreement about the music. Hopefully the unity is heavy on this project and it will be just as dope as their debut and some of their solo albums like Ironman.
There are also more solo albums coming from the Wu-Tang camp with Raekwon’s sequel to the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx dropping August 11th, and a new Method Man album dropping this Fall titled Crystal Meth.





Lakers Take Game 1!

19 05 2009

Nuggets Lakers Basketball
Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets 105-103 in an excellent game 1. Based off today’s game this will obviously be a tough series, but it can potentially be the best series since the Bulls vs. Celtics in round 1. Big ups to Trevor Ariza for that last minute steal resulting in the victory.
