On a Wednesday night, any moment where you burn your thoughts away might be key. Cory Kendrix, LNS Crew smoker and pretty interesting character off the microphone digs into a loquacious Devin The Dude type flow for “Gettin’ Thoed Again”, a more than welcome follow up to “Hold It In” with Sertified & Worldwide. The […]

We know that ranking Jay Z albums is open for its own college course in terms of methodology and accurate assessment of greatness. Well on his 44th, Jay Z took to “the scoreboard” to rank his own albums. Trust, it’s already sparked plenty of debate over social media and there are some even I don’t […]

Gee Watts would rather give you a page in the Bible before forcing you to dig into the entire book. That’s how I’m taking his choice to hold off on 199X until 2014 and kicking off this #BibleStudy series. “Church” bats leadoff with Gee once more reaching into his parables of street wisdom and life […]

I’m not going to say Mrs. Keys-Beatz needed to find a creative spark but given that her career since 2001′s Songs In A Minor has been nothing short of breathtaking for fans, the existence of unreleased Keys tunes seems really like an untapped gold mine. “Die Without You”, a cover of the rather popular PM […]

Your best friends should most certainly inspire your work. That’s what happened when producer XXYYXX (“About You”) took the sounds he recorded from his friends backyard to create “Chaser”, a song reminisicent of their time growing up together in Florida. In regards to the record he says, “esterday was the birthday of two close friends […]

Surely, you were just as shocked as the rest of us that R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series expanded to as many as 33 episodes. “Trapped in the Closet” initially began as a five-track sequence on Kells’s 2005 TP-3: Reloaded album, but was then expanded first to ten chapters, and then to 33 after […]

Oh this the fourth day of December in the year of our Hov 2013, Jay Z celebrates the start of his 44th year hovering over us peasants with Barneys suites given back to charity and concert tours and baddest chick in the game wearing his (tattooed) wedding ring and et cetera vegan for 22 days […]

Unlike a normal “Conversation With Cecilia”, this one is rather personal. Sadly, today marks six years since the tragic passing of Chad “Pimp C” Butler and for a girl born in Oakland and in Texas trying to get a college degree, a chance meeting between the Pimp & Cecilia would steer the course of her […]

Pimp C interviews on rap records will never not go unheard. Never. It’s a certain rite of passage to not only use the right Pimp interview to get your point across but for sheer possible entertainment value as well. Hoodstar Chantz, rapping as if he’s about to stagger and run out of breath stays rather […]

See the image above? That’s the same face Olivia Pope makes before her lip quivers and all around here begins to fall for about fifteen seconds. It’s also the same face that fans of ABC’s ‘Scandal’ who live in Houston have made when they found out that the show’s upcoming season finale will be preempted […]

If there was a Houston Rap Mount Rushmore, Scarface, DJ Screw and Pimp C would definitely be on it. Filling in that other slot would be arguable as you can get with Fat Pat bringing it up as the most talented SUC member and Bun B as the most unassailable member of the Houston rap […]

When Nike’s partnership with Kanye West broke down and the rapper decided to head to the land of the Three Stripes (more on that later), Jordan Brand swooped in and picked up another rapper who’s quite fond of rocking Jordan’s on stage every given night. Drake already had a deal in place where the Jumpman […]
