I was bored and I got this fine album because of the cover. Never heard of Apkass before I was totally enchanted with his opus. This will resonate with any true African, I can tell you that much. The discourse is socio-political for the most part (no preaching though), the delivery is between rap and poetry reading. The rhythms immediately transport you to Equitorial Africa. The reach is

Coming into this mixtape here's what I knew:- Travis Barker is the gifted drummer formerly of Blink 182. He had a smoking hot wife.- DJ AM used to go out with Nicole Richie.- They both were on a private plane that crashed recently and sustained serious burn injuries but are recovering.Travis Barker had already bolstered his hip-hop credentials by working and budding with the likes of Paul Wall,

Shit actually sounds better with time. It's still feels too loaded, but you can't deny the gems. The beats are prime grade! All the little subtleties in there is a joy. If you can (especially if 50 irritates you), get the instrumental version. You don't know what you're missing. You need a lengthier dissection: I'm still sticking to my site's review. I get mine the fast way, ski mask way....

Admittedly, I'm not so up to date on the french rap scene. I'm more familiar with whoever was hot at the turn of the century than the new players you have today. Ol' Kainry is actually an old player by today's standard. This, Les chemins de la dignité, is his second album that came out four years ago. (His latest album, Demolition Man, came out last year.)As far as I'm concerned, Ol' Kainry is

I'm not an authority on Zouk, but I know this much: Slaï has delivered several classics throughout his career and one can understand how the adoring/pandering lyrics and good looks would swoon the ladies.With this new album, the trend doesn't stop. There are instant winners such as "Leçons particulières", "À l'abri", "Une dernière chance" and "Déjà vu"There are also a few joints I didn't find so

The title track is undoubtedly the biggest hit of 2008 thus far. The album has instant winners like "Street Credibility" (with 2Face), "Photocopy", and "Kinda Life". Part of his appeal is the wise (yet frequent) usage of yoruba proverbs within the lyrics. The beats are simple yet spell-binding. You should give it a try!

I'm digging the career growth with this kid. He's slowly but surely moving away from kid music and the process doesn't seem contrived. Also, I just can't get enough of "Forever." Give Chris Brown a chance people. You won't regret it.

Paul Pierce said he's the best player in the NBA to Spanish Press. He said it again to the Boston Herald. So what? While I love The Truth. I think Kobe is simply better. But is it not any (great) player's stance that he's/she's the best at what they do? If not, it definitely should be!!! I predict this tidbit will swell up unecessarily. At least it's more fuel to the renewed Boston-L.A.

In my previous entry, I alluded to a new feature about lists on my site. I'm still fine-tuning it but in doing so, I'll be using the blog as a test bed of sorts. So this here is a firm candidate for the FOH (Fuck Outta Here) list -- right along with Omar Bongo giving the Zimbabwe sham election the thumbs up!

A few days back I was running this idea about lists for my site by man DJ Hyphen. He gave me a few list ideas, one of which was "Top 5 Female Emcees Right Now". We could only agree on Jean Grae and Invincible. I wish I could have brought up Jack Davey of J*Davey for consideration. J*Davey's Dilla tribute "Red Light" is the inspiration for this playlist. It's a party vibe to it with a chill-down

In New York Press, Armond White says of The Wackness:Hip-Hop appreciation is also at the heart of Jonathan Levine’s The Wackness. Set in 1994 Giuliani-era New York, its nostalgia for adolescence is made moving by Levine’s unabashed appropriation of hip-hop. His alter-ego protagonist Luke (Josh Peck) is obsessed with hip-hop as an alternative to Kurt Cobain. For a friendless, pot-selling, romantic

Back in high school, it seemed like everybody was a rapper. As time went by, some of us persevered. Others slowly let it go. The last rap I wrote was three years ago. The last vocals I laid..that was in 2003 (and I don't even know where they at!)I got some friends who keep doin'. Google Hopiho or stay tuned because I'll be plugging him every now and then.

"Play These..." (PT if you want) will be short sets that I feel like sharing. I like coherent playlist that have a flow to them. For the inaugural, I chose a playlist that doesn't have any hip-hop -- just so you know, I listen to other shit too!I can't front, I was playing my iPod on random some time back, and this is what it came up with:01.

I just read the news. I'm sure for those who'd want to know more about this great man, will find a lot on him just by googling him up. My sympathies go out to his family.

Globalization brings wealth and opportunity to many people around the world. But to poor slum dwellers in the failing state of Ivory Coast, it has brought horrible sickness and death after hazardous waste, shipped nearly halfway around the world, was stealthily dumped in backyards around Abidjan. This need not and should not have happened.As reported in Tuesday's IHT by Lydia Polgreen and Marlise

Whenever election dates approach in the US, you can be sure to be entertained. I’ve spent six years, and I have never seen any people with more flair for the dramatic than the Americans. Well, mid-term elections are in November, and before hitting the campaign trail, the legislative arm had to be rocked by a “scandal”, a damning book had to surface, and some ex had to make a little noise of its

This guy was certainly the luckiest chap on the field last weekend. His brace pushed his team to the top of the table, for now. I’m confident the guys at the Emirates Stadium are waking up.

“This device, which looks like an Xbox controller with gills, contains a small fan that blows cool air onto your palms while you play. A button turns the fan on full blast or sets it to an interval mode that gives you puffs of air every few minutes.” (New York Times.)If you sweating too much, then it just means you need to lay off the game and go do something else. Nonetheless, the new control

You’d look so hot in it! Don’t you agree!?When I started making mix tapes for my friends, they were made for their Walkman, their chill-in-the room time and, sometimes, they’d be used during parties and stuff. (That was back in ‘95, ‘96.) I eventually noticed that they’d be used more and more for their time in the car. The Shiznit thing on my site started out as makin’ CDs for my friends’ rides.

If you ask me, that joint looks too big and ugly for it’s size. They’ve advertized the nicer features – big screen, wireless music sharing capability, FM radio – but some important questions are left unanswered. (If you have a media player, you should be able to see thru it.) Microsoft are bound to make mistakes, but I also expect them to make huge improvements in later generations of the Zune –

It wouldn't make cents/sense for him to holla, "I'm rich beeeyotch!!!!"Microsoft is getting cake, there’s no doubt about that. But being the top dog is certainly not a pleasant position to be in - especially when it comes to technology. While it has come under fire for its monopolistic ways, it still has to assert its dominance. (Competing is not enough.) And there’s a couple of markets where

Basketball is my thing. I haven’t found that much motivation to get nasty on ‘em (or stay fit for that matter), but I’m gettin’ back into it. I can’t do what these NBA peeps can do, but I can get as vicious - just you get me mad in a game and see what happens. Anyways, I ain’t seen or been in many pick up games with music blastin’ throughout. But it seems like the best thing, especially in summer

Whenever you put your iPod on shuffle, you’re bound to come up with a playlist combination that you’d never think would work. Case in point:- Mobb Deep - Pearly Gates (feat. 50 Cent)- Young Jeezy - Trap Star- Dolly Parton - Travelin’ Thru- Manecas Costa - Fundo Di Matu- Rage Against The Machine - Guerrilla Radio- 2Pac - Lil’ Ghetto Boy- Stevie Wonder - If You Really Love Me- Zama Jobe - Wondering

I like to stay informed... Not so much about hip-hop music as I should (visit my site: ThaHipHop.Com), but really about the goings-on around the planet. I don’t devour newspapers and news sites as I would like to, but I’m getting there.I thought I’d share excerpts of the worthier stories, especially those you might not have heard of. I had saved some articles for this, I never got around to it

I wrote this reflection on Africa a couple of years ago. The site it was on, doesn't exist anymore. Sure, it's a simplistic take on a vast and complex problem, and I invite anyone to correct/improve my assesment. Still, this is one of the very few articles I've written that I can read over without cringing. I feel like I zoned out and zoned in pretty well. So here goes:Our history has been mired

I'm a DJ at heart. I'm good - I mean really good - at making compilation tapes or CDs. I usually make 'em for my friends so they can have sumthin' to bump in the ride, or sumthin' we can bump when we're playin' ball. Since, I ain't got too many people to send 'em too these days, I'll post them around here. This one was meant for one of my bols in Beantown, but I had left before I could burn it.

I'll also use this space as a brainstorm tool, and cook up some good stuff for my main site: ThaHipHop.ComThat's about it!
