T.I & I Azalea HOT 97 Interview

 I dont get the hype behind this girl personally and she's not my type attraction wise but I do think T.I is a good interview so hey here's 30 mins with both of them and the folk at HOT 97

Best of 2012 Hip Hop via Rap Up

Look my ear is still very much stuck in the 90's so I can only big up but so much of what dropped in 2012 but I think within this playlist compiled by Rap Up you'll get a nice mixture of the yr 2012 in Rap.

Why Not......

 Who remembers this?? LOL

Before The Money Was Young & Nicki Wasn't A Barbie

Dirty Money - Nicki Minaj from JAMES DELGATTO on Vimeo.

Be clear I dont find this flow that impressive at all but I think it's nice to bring context to what Ms Minaj was and how she's come along. I'll leave it to y'all to decide if it's an evolution or not.

These Kid Stay Reaching.....

Miss Alicia Keyz Turns DJ AK-47????

Sure why not......

Turned Off By the Type of Talk

It's a full scale push towards Mrs Carter's new album and the legion of supporters are out in force. We already know who's claimed control on the world and now I've seen the Internets chattering on a song "1 + 1" that is apparently the greatest thing since the last greatest thing Bey put out . You say the funny thing with me is that the more something gets hyped up before I experience it the least liking I am to want to deal with it. Everything today is either platinum or plastic. The digital hype machine is insane.

So by the time I'm hearing about a movie, song or whatever, I'm already put off but the 100th person saying "This song gives me life", "This song is everything", etc,etc,etc......it just seems a bit much. In truth this seems to be a Twitter issue as I use twitter to keep some degree of awareness from those that I follow blog wise. Since I cant access blogs at the office twitter substitutes.

I'm a communication freak on so many levels.  LOL

Off Air Antics at Hot 97. LOL!

Had to snatch this from MissInfo's site!! In spite of how times have changed you can't say hip hop in NY and not think of Hot97. I've always wondered about what happens off air and this playful vid is exactly what I love to see. People having fun. And on the real side Angie kills it....and we all we've lip-synched our favorites be it in the shower, driving or whatever.

This is the best part about being at the Hot97 station…the bugging out that happens off the air. In this video, it seems that Mr. Cee has challenged Angie Martinez, DJ Enuff and her producer Drewski (who is so hilarious on the low) to some kind of karaoke/lip-synching battle…he didn’t believe they knew the words to the new Chris Brown single “Look At Me Know” featuring Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne?

I posed a question to the hump day visitors and loyal readers. Whats is it about us? It's another curious inquiry from the mind of a black man trying to make sense of this world.

For pure spoken animated hilarity you have to view what is now known as "The Rant" by Riley Freeman, uncensored.

In other Boondocks related news, it would seem that loose lips in Tyler Perry's office helped aid the recent Boondocks Parody episode. This is not sitting well with Mr. Perry.
