Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire is the truth. Dude is one of the illest emcees in the game right now. Nobody else is combining a real street level esthetic with the type of straight lyricism and off the wall subject matter as Malcolm eX. Just peep “Whirlwind Pyramid Freestyle”. He drops nothing[…]

‘Constantine’ NBC Official Trailer (Video)
So, NBC is taking a crack at adapting D.C. Comics’ Alan Moore (sorry Alan) created ‘Hellblazer’ series with a new program following the exploits of magician John Constantine titled (what else?) ‘Constantine’. I didn’t hate the big-screen adaptation of ‘Constantine’ starring Keanu Reeves, despite the fact that they Americanized the[…]
‘AKIRA’ Project Live Action Trailer (Video)
I was lucky enough to see ‘AKIRA’, the groundbreaking anime based on director Katsuhiro Otomo’s manga in an actual movie theatre upon its initial release here in the US. I also owned a copy of the original Streamline Video VHS which I watched over and over and over again in[…]
Flatbush ZOMBiES x Trash Talk – 97.92 (Video)
Converse sneakers got hardcore Hip-Hop heads Flatbush ZOMBiES together with hardcore Punk rockers Trash Talk as part of their ‘CONS EP Vol. 1’ collabo project. The result is “97.92”, a slow-rolling boom-bap-driven production courtesy of the OFGKTA-affiliated punks on the boards laced with the undead trio’s trademark narcotics-fueled lyricism on[…]
Ab-Soul – Tree of Life (Audio)
Carson, California-bred rapper Ab-Soul is easily my favorite member of the Black Hippy/TDE family of artists. After a two year drought, he’s finally announced the release of his next full-length, ‘These Days…’! He’s also dropped a new record, titled “Tree of Life”, where he goes absolutely dumb over the classic[…]
Who is the Master Who Makes the Grass Green (Video)
On this site I make relatively frequent mention of dearly departed author and philosopher Robert Anton Wilson. In fact, he’s such an important figure to me that he occasionally appears as the header image at the top of this site! He was a prolific writer who released copious pages of[…]
Homeboy Sandman – Fat Belly (Video)
Homeboy Sandman gets off some funny punchlines, some tasty recommendations, and a few holier than thou health nut admonitions on “Fat Belly”. It’s the first single from his newest EP ‘White Sands’ which teams Boy Sand with UK musician/beatmaker Paul White. Whether you’re a raw foods advocating vegan or a[…]
Major Lazer – Aerosol Can feat. Pharrell Williams (Video)
While everybody is obsessed with “Happy”, and his crazy Dudley Doorite hat, Pharrell is busy rapping his face off over Diplo & Switch beats on Major Lazer’s new single “Aerosol Can”. The danceflooor fire starter is from the fictional animated freedom fighting action figure’s ‘Apocalypse Soon’ EP, which is out[…]
tUnE-yArDs – Water Fountain (Video)
“Water Fountain” is the new single and video from Connecticut native and Smith College alum Merril Garbus who records and performs under the name tUnE-yArDs. The video for the catchy-as-hell Afro-Caribbean-influenced clap-a-long is heavily influenced by whimsical children’s TV shows and features a one-eyed puppet monster. “Water Fountain” is the[…]
