“I’m Thoughtless…”
In what looks like a recent video that’s just now surfacing, King Jaffe gives another good interview for the archives, acknowledging Jay’s success with BP3, speaks on embellishing in rap lyrics (”Do you believe Steven Spielberg whe...
Sia - “You’ve Changed” Video
I’ve never been one to believe in guilty pleasures. If I like, I like and I usually end up posting it. This Sia song is one that landed in my inbox a few (hundred) emails ago. I clicked the link to listen, sort of liked it but never found time...

Video: Florida Man Dies After Choking On Weed
In another lifetime, I remember that once we were headed for a night of partying. We were on the block and, before we could clear the area, we got pulled over. Three of us. Me, Cookiehead and KP. The usual routine: get out the car, provide paperwork...
Omarion Feat. Jay Rock - “Hoodie” Video
The days where dancing solved all the dilemnas in music videos are probably long gone, but Omarion dedicates his single full of “agressive content” to the King Of Pop anyway. Looks to be a hybrid of “Beat It” and “Bad&#...
Corinne Bailey Rae - “I’d Do It All Again” Video
Often, we speak of tragedy bringing the best out of artists and their music. But never in a million years would I wish death to befall their families for the sake of my listening pleasure. Yet after two hard losses - her grandfather first, then her ...
“Switch Board” - Review Of Kid Sister’s Ultraviolet
Ladies rejoice! The hipster post-modern day rapper finally has a voice laced with estrogen in Kid Sister. Hailing from the Windy City that is Chicago, Melisa Young aims to prove she can make her mark on the rap game without being overly thuggish or ...
Rihanna Feat. Young Jeezy “Hard” Video
Yeah, yeah yeah! You can say whatever but this song is fiya. Whether or not Def Jam failed with promoting it or Rated R properly is completely irrelevant at this point. Our dearest Riri, queen of GQ, is off frolicking in the mud like some ancient ci...
Today’s Headline: “Rapper Has Sex With Girl & Spits A Freestyle During An Interview!”
I have absolutely nothing witty to say. Nothing I can muster up will top what you will see in this clip. I partially have to blame/credit Bol because he plugged this on another site. I watched…I’m not sure why I watched but I think IR...

Kool Keith - “Jerk Yo Thang” Video
Nothing says Saturday morning (or maybe it should be late Saturday night) like a Dr. Octagon video. Joined once again by his pals No-Name & Denis Deft, we find them in a familiar setup: in a hotel room with rented lovelies. But this time we eve...
tabi Bonney - “Duhh” Video
Yo. Lay off the Ambien. tabi’s Dope is indeed that, which is why he’s still able to pick and pull tracks to drop videos from it. “Duhh” = a headnodder. Seen @ DDot’s ...
Lupe Fiasco – “Solar Midnite” Video
Man, I got suckered. I would say obnoxious stuff or make a few wisecracks. Things like how I wish Lupe would come better than this and that weak mixtape he dropped. Free or not, I was not impressed @ all. The delivery was still there, but the cleve...
Video: Rihanna’s Rated R MySpace The Release Show

Lil’ Boosie - “Gin In My Cup” Video
“…So pass me some water, So I can roll harder, so I can roll harder.” Worth the watch for A.) seeing Boosie doing his infamous Loose As A Goose dance step and B.) dip-dip-dive drop @ the :45 mark. Boosie’s ADD had to be in fu...
Ol’ Dirty Ron Artest
It all makes more sense now. Last week, I was going to overlook the above footage of Ron Artest on Kimmel in his skibbies. Figured “Nah, he’s just a fool.” Skipped the story about him and his half-sister pulling a welfare scam in I...
