Read morePeep This: Kendrick Lamar – “King Kunta”
Classic KDot. Rolling through Compton in a Cadillac and it doesn’t really get that much better than that. If there’s one thing I applaud Kendrick on (among the usual things) it’s that he never forgot where he came from, and stayed loyal to his community and the very place that made him the king that […]

Read morePeep This: Earl Sinclair x The Notorious B.I.G. – “Hypnotize” (Mashup)
Mashups can be a tricky thing: there’s a fine line between lazily dropping a track over a visual using iMovie and painstakingly executing an entertaining mashup video. Thankfully, for Benjamin Roberts, he’s managed to craft the latter with a gut-busting mashup of Earl Sinclair from the 90’s TV show Dinosaurs over Biggie’s classic, “Hypnotize”. Check the […]

Read morePeep This: Childish Gambino – Sober
Childish Gambino’s latest video for his feel-good joint, “Sober”, just dropped and the whole visual spectacle is truly appropriate. If you really think about it, the awkward arc the video takes from gawky introduction into a triumphantly charismatic conclusion – albeit with a lingering sense of gracelessness – sums up who Childish Gambino is himself. […]

Sounds like one hell of a night to say […]
Read morePeep This: DJ Craze – New Slaves Routine
Forget a shot, DJ Craze’s latest visual offering of his New Slaves routine is firing guided patriot missiles toward any and all individuals who try to play the part of being a real DJ through the tired act of pre-recorded sets, mindless button-pressing (or worse, pretending to press them) and silly antics to incite hand […]

If you’ve ever wanted to tell Drake that he didn’t start from the bottom and is a chickenhead straight to his face, well keep waiting because that’s really not gonna happen due to the fact that his 300 pound bodyguard will prolly snuff you before you even get one syllable out. So instead of rockin’ […]
Read morePeep This: Nas x Q-Tip x The Roots Perform on Jimmy Fallon
Whatever Illuminati-fountain-of-youth-elixir that Pharrell and apparently Nas and Q-Tip have access to, we want in. Does the blogger-Illuminati not have a connect or what?!
