Diplo takes some time off of smoking weed and playing old records to lay down a solid two hour mix for his friends over at the BBC. The massive set features a litany of Diplo-endorsed players layered on top of a heaping roster of blog-beloved cutting edge artists: Danny Brown (get his mixtape HERE), Crookers, […]

If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Kendrick Lamar’s debut good kid, m.A.A.d city, we cannot recommend the album any more highly. The Compton kid is a true lyricist and storyteller the likes we haven’t seen since maybe early Outkast. For many hip-hop fans, it will most likely be considered the album of […]

Combining two of the most powerful cultural tsunamis of the moment, zombies and Kim Kardashian, the great TrustoCorp crew create their latest cover of Out Of Touch magazine with an image of the undead bubble-bottomed socialite/sex tape phenom/cultural black whole eating herself alive (undead). Why not. I mean, who would be shocked by the shamelessly self-promoting […]

Even by Swag Rap standards, the latest by 2 Chainz raises the absurdity to retarded new levels. With a great verse by a threesome-pushing Yeezy, the Andreas Nilsson directed video for “Birthday Song” brings midgets spraying 40 ozs, dancing Pakistanis, booty cakes, clown beatdowns and of course copious strippers to the best party to hit College […]

The meme is taken from a Tumblr page, where actor/comedian Aziz Ansari’s face has been Photoshopped onto a handful of hip hop album covers. It’s amazing how […]

Flosstradamus return with a full on dancefloor assault with their Banned mixtape. Expect plenty of the usual hip-hop/EDM/trap arsenal from the Chicago producer/DJ duo of J2K & Autobot on the 30-minute mix, including usual suspects like Diplo, Kanye, Meek Mill, Juicy J, Major Lazer and perhaps best of all a Switch remix of M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls”. […]

Really? So this is what all the hype is about? I know Nike released some images of the volcanically over-hyped Nike Air Yeezy 2 last week, but today new detail shots have been revealed — plus preliminary design sketches — and I gotta say, I don’t get the hysteria. The shoes are pretty hideous if […]

The continuing saga of one girl’s quest to cut through the red tape. Read previous posts HERE. Confession: I’m not really sure what to make of this whole Occupy movement. It’s confusing. It’s like that loopy, unpredictable distant relative: I wanna love it, but it ain’t easy. You’d think a chick like me who bitches […]
