Snoop Scorsese back at it


After his wildly successful adult film/music video, Snoop Dogg's Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp, Calvin returns to the booth for his next album and the director's chair for his documentary he plans to release together. I wonder if Hustler will produce the documentary this time...

STFU and listen to this


This is some classic J Dilla. The good folks at Bling47 released this video and have this to say about the track:


I got this one on a cassette from T3 circa 1997.  I’m not sure what it was for, or why Dilla had this on tape, but I thought it was hilarious.  “Shut the Fuck Up and listen to this… this.”   This kind of style was typical for our crew at this time – we were just finishing up the Fantastic Vol 1 album.  It was never about what they said – but instead how they said it.  We called it “R.A.W.” –  Rugged And wild.  And that is exactly what this one is – tape hiss and all.
Enjoy

Sh*t gangsters should not do



This is confusing in general. Is he trying to be sensitive, yet remain hard as the streets he lives on? Is this a video he's going to post on his eHarmony profile? Can you even do that? Is the gun even loaded? Where does a gangster even obtain a copy, bootlegged or not, of Adele in the streets? Maybe he's sad over Demi Moore's hospitalization. Nahhh.

Director Yeezy World Peace

This must be how he directs. So nonchalant.
Mr. West, Mr. West! ...never sits down. I swear, he probably has more thoughts that circulate through his crazy mind than I do on a really good day. What's he doing now? Directing, of course. Following his debut with his Runaway short, Kanye is planning on shooting a similar short film/music video in the middle east. Can't wait to hear the update that it'll be shown only in IMAX 3D with these glasses:

It's a "level of quality"

Here Rozay's thoughts (never thought I'd ever say that) on the end of Mercedes' Maybach line. And I just saved up enough cash to buy my 13th one...

Rest in Power Don Cornelius


The creator of Soul Train seems to have taken his own life in his home in California. And while most of us may not have been raised on this iconic show, it most definitely helped secure a spot for Soul, Funk, and arguably Hip Hop in mainstream music. Mr. Cornelius was 75.


What if Wu-Tang Clan stayed a clan?


The Chef gives his honest opinion on why the Wu-Tang diminished in strength over time: solo careers. While I wasn't there with the clan everyday of their early start, I do have to agree that there is some truth to starting solo careers early in the game. Man, to think if Wu-Tang was still kicking out albums every now and then with the golden touch of their early albums, if not better...
