Tupac wins. At life. And death apparently.

Dude has to be trending in the twattersphere life ahead of everyone and everything. People just can't leave him alone, dead or alive. Suge Knight, you a fool for this one.

Happy Holidaze

Hey, Method Man, how high are you?

I was gonna make a mixtape for today, but then I got high. I was gonna put together some funny videos, but then I got high. I was gonna do shit today, but then I got high. Blunts up!

Can't get enough Illmatic

People really need to chill out on this whole Linsanity.

Complex, as usual, put together a list of facts you didn't know about one of your favorite albums. What really blows my mind is all the what if's concerning the "Juicy" sample that could have gone to Nas, instead of Biggie.

Too many quotable lines in this one. Also, who else you know can rock a 

matching striped beanie and t-shirt with those colors? 

And at the beach?

Two years ago, today, MC Guru passed away due to complications from cancer. Before you start toking up and blasting some Marley tomorrow, show the world we haven't forgotten one of the greatest.

Too much hate

I've expressed my stance on Chief Keef's music already (I don't get it. It's a step backwards in trap/gangsta rap), but this is a little too much. At a Meek Mill show at Congress Theater on April 13, a fight broke out inside the venue. And while Congress Theater had security on deck and the venue was at ~29% capacity, the First Ward Alderman Proco Joe Moreno figured he should hire two community security workers, whatever those are. This kid, literally a kid, Chief Keef hasn't even been proven guilty yet and he has an electronic monitoring bracelet on at all times. Needless to say, there's some beef between the owner of Congress Theater and the Alderman.

All I'm saying is, don't blame the kid and put him at the center of the scuffle just because he may be in legal trouble.

Chicago, stand up!

Chicago crew, 2008ighties aka BRKF$T Club, is definitely going to make waves. BLAKE GRIFFIN DUNK SIZED WAVES. Not only is the production and lyrics dope, the That 70's Show style of camera work simply works. Can't wait for a full mixtape/album.

This is a little disturbing/upsetting

Iron Mike may bust some heads if they don't leave the dead in peace. And I'm ok with that.

I'm sure everyone by now has heard or seen Tupac's "live" performance at Coachella by now. Ok, yes, I am upset Nate Dogg was not present in hologram form as well, as rumored, but that's besides the point. What everyone may not know is that Tupac may hit the road. What? Yes. The company behind it, Digital Domain Media Group Inc.*, created the 2-D visual representation of Tupac from scratch, based off of the movements recorded in prior performances before his untimely death.

It was cool and all to see this one time at a big music festival, but to bring it on tour? I don't know why, but I'm hesitant. It's a mix of spookiness and possibly being unfaithful to the original. Let's just hope the representatives talking this talk are the same ones who said Dr. Dre's Detox was coming out soon.

UNFORTUNATE UPDATE: Raekwon has thoughts about doing the same to ODB? Please say no, Ms. Jones. Please.

Freestyle alert!

Before they hit the stage at Reggie's in Chicago, Caleb James, Alex Wiley, Kembe X, St. Millie, Legit, Calez, and Chance the Rapper (that's some real Chicago love right there in that lineup), spit some heat. That Alex Wiley though? I'm feeling that flow.

Oh, and they're all under 21.

Some of the greats getting what's due

In honor of the Beastie Boys rightfully being inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of fame, the Roots, Kid Rock, and Travie McCoy perform some of my favorite cuts from the influential group. They changed the game as it was being written. Mad props.

FOUR MORE YEARS

Who else is gonna get down and dirty?

No one wants a cabinet of tight pricks running their country, right? I sure don't. Here's some proof of why I'm proud to be an American. Your Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, gets loose in Colombia at Cafe Havana to cap off the VI Summit of the Americas. I'm sure she downed that beer in one take.
