Space City Beat Battle Championship Re-Cap Video

February 1, 2012 in Events, Features, News, TV

January 21, 2012 – The Space City Beat Battle™ launched Episode Five of what is considered to be the premiere beat competition in Houston. With previous winners Tony Dark, Risky Boi, V12, Black Keys Productions, Y Phoenix, Steezilla plus wild cards Nahuma, King Henry, illFaded and Code Redd all in attendance the stage was set for a phenomenal night for the fifth edition of The Space City Beat Battle™. The city’s best emerging producers made it to the final round of the competition in what we will call a sonic battle royale. With a producer vs producer format for each round, the finalist were able to choose two tracks to go head to head against the competition.

The Mercury Room served as the host venue for the showcase as a last minute conflict arose at the original host location. The energetic crowd was enthused round after round as the finalist delivered radio worthy productions. DJ Ipod Ammo (Killa Kyleon, Fat Tony) and DJ Arsnik (Turnin Headz Radio) provided the sounds in between rounds.

In the end the two legendary guest judges, DJ Scratch of EPMD and DJ DMD unanimously chose crowd favorite Rahim of Black Keys Productions as the 2011 Citywide Champion. The sixth episode of The Space City Beat Battle™ will take place in May and kick off the next season. Producers looking to participate may contact SCBB at spacecitybeatbattle@gmail.com

Pastor Troy On Judge Alex

January 23, 2012 in TV

I guess it is “Ain’t No Mo Play In GA”. Pastor Troy found himself on TV court this morning over missing a scheduled appearance in Augusta, Georgia not once but twice. We’ve got to ask why they didn’t go on Judge Mathis or Judge Joe Brown.

Kobe Bryant’s New Pitch: The #KobeSystem

January 15, 2012 in Rockin' My..., Sports, TV

Divorce be damned, the Black Mamba is playing out of his mind right now. The Lakers have seemingly found the fountain of youth with Bryant racking up four consecutive 40 point games and the Lake Show going 3-1 in those efforts. Want to know how he does it after all these years and his ex-wife snatching away two of his mansions?

The Kobe System.

Nike once again puts forth a hilarious over the top commercial for Bryant’s signature sneaker following last year’s short film as Bryant takes what he’s learned over the years with five rings and passes it on to other uber successful people, luminaries such as Paul Rodriguez, Kanye West, Aziz Ansari (here by accident), Jerry Rice, Larry Fitzgerald, Serena Williams, Tony Robbins and others. Kobe’s the motivational speaker, you listen and enjoy the system.

Mike D, Stephen Colbert & The Correct Use Of “Illin”

January 13, 2012 in TV

Weaving between Republican primaries and common politico fodder lies gems on TV. Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have been passing these bad boys out like chaos emeralds for the better part of half a decade now so by and large – they are who you look at when it comes to truth in the news.

Last night, Colbert took to ask the age old question of what exactly “Illin’” means. New York Times puzzlemaster Will Shortz had referred to the word as “wack” in his Saturday edition while blogger Boobs Radley stated he was schematically incorrect. In the literary world, that means beef, y’all and that means some esteemed individual with merit had to be called in.

Enter Mike D of the Beastie Boys.

Armed with a tweed jacket and smoking pipe, the elderstatesman of ill broke down both sides of the debate and declared a victor, all in the name of hip-hop and correct crossword puzzles everywhere.

Video: Kyle Hubbard In Studio

January 12, 2012 in Music Video, TV, Up In The Air

Kyle Hubbard and the good fellows at Laced & Lamez put together a nice little treatment for Hubbard’s upcoming You’re Not That Special LP. Kyle along with Roosh Williams and Jordan Regester all are putting in work for the project at DMG Studios. I asked Kyle for a quick quote on his upcoming project and he gave me this quote, “Everything you think you know about Kyle Hubbard the artist no longer applies after March 20th, 2012, I would never be douchey enough to say I’m dropping the best album this year, but I can say with confidence [that] I am dropping the most original. I drive in the lane I paved” and quote. Be on the look out for Mr. Hubbard and his mischievous music-making master plan in March, all alliteration aside.

“Community” Added To NBC Lineup For 2012

January 7, 2012 in News, TV

Apparently fan uproar and the “#SixSeasonsAndAMovie” movement work as NBC announced they would be bringing back critically acclaimed comedy Community back to finish its third season in 2012. Sadly, there’s no word on whether or not Alison Brie and the gang will get a fourth one. However, taking solace in the fact that smart, high brow comedy can live on a Thursday night (no, we’re not counting you Big Bang Theory, you’re just snarky) is a good thing.

NBC has already made themselves look foolish when they mishandled the Conan O’Brien/Jay Leno saga and big budgeted dramas such as The Cape, The Playboy Club and trying to hold onto the only Law & Order people give a damn about but at least the boys at 30 Rock saw this one before it came to ahead. The third season being suspended was enough backlash and while the company will rake in a few extra dollars this year for covering the Super Bowl, resting their hopes on a group of misfits in Greendale, Colorado is a well educated move.

Even if you don’t get what all the fuss is about (or want to know), you might want to head over to NBC’s smartest move in decades – Hulu and dig in.

Snoop Dogg Takes Over The Price Is Right

January 2, 2012 in TV

Using Bob Barker’s old stomping grounds to help raise money for his Snoop Youth Football League, the Doggfather hit CBS this morning to co host The Price Is Right. Ironic that Barker used to preach spaying and neutering your pets but the Boss Dogg cares nothing about that. He’s about the kids and in true Snoop fashion, Calvin raised $72,585 while making sure Drew Carey kept it G, even if it felt like a lost Chappelle skit come true. Check out more footage of Snoop hosting the Showcase Showdown below.

Count The Original Aunt Viv Out Of Any ‘Fresh Prince’ Reunion

December 27, 2011 in News, TV

Guess ‘Life After’ didn’t help matters in reuniting one of the greatest sit-com families of all time.

The woman who played the original Aunt Viv on “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” says there’s a damn good reason she wasn’t at a recent reunion dinner with the rest of the Banks family — she HATES Will Smith.

15 years after the show went off the air … Janet Hubert tells TMZ, she’s still upset with the way she was fired from the show … and blames the whole thing on Smith himself.

“There will never be a reunion … as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith,” Hubert said.

She adds, “He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word.”
