Going to the theater is a great experience. Outside of the comfortability of watching movies on your couch in your pajamas, nothing can really beat going to a theater, watching a movie on the big screen, and being surrounded by large speakers that make you feel like you’re actually in the scene. Theaters have always...
Fun fact: The very first album I bought as a high schooler was Daft Punk’s Discovery back in the fall of 2001. I’ve never been a huge fan of dance/techno/house music, but I was enthralled by the robotic duo’s anime videos for the Discovery singles and absolutely had to check the rest of the album out. It didn’t...
The video for Rockie Fresh’s latest single, “Life Long,” is finally out. Featuring Maybach Music master Rick Ross and MMG associate Nipsey Hussle, the song is about their individual aspirations to living their lives. It’s been a big year for Rockie since Electric Highway dropped in January, with his latest mixtape, The Birthday Tape, dropping a few...
(Image by Know Passion) The quartet of Elee X, Khalfani, Sidewalk Kal, and Blakkass Westley don’t hold punches with their music. If you’ve seen them live, you’re already aware of their gritty, in-your-face style. Their latest drop, “Look of Hate (Remix),” is actually a remixed version of the song they perform on stage. Produced by...
Clad in all white, Kendrick Lamar celebrates the life of an unknown entity in his latest video for “B*tch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” The video’s shot with a somewhat soft saturation, matching the song’s laidback, sometimes-somber tone. Mike Epps (Next Friday) makes a cameo in the video, baptizing Lamar in a pool full of liquor....
The great thing about music is that, despite a song being released, it will constantly evolve and grow beyond its original form. Sometimes, that leads to Kidz Bop versions or YouTube acoustic guitar covers; other times, it can become something just as great as the original form itself. It’s been less than two weeks, but...
Arrested Development is one of my absolute favorite TV series. With its relentless stream of inside-jokes, witticisms, and cast whose talents are constantly matched AND one-upped with every scene, news of the show’s unfair cancellation in 2006 was met with both anger and understanding. The combination of Fox’s mishandling of the show by continuously shifting...
Ghost in the Shell is one of those seminal anime films that appeals to people that don’t really like anime. The 1995 cyberpunk film dealt with an advanced technological world where people were able to connect into robotic bodies (known as shells) with superhero-like powers on a network similar to the internet. A police assault...
DJ Oreo might not be a familiar name to our readers yet, nonetheless, at the rate this young Chicagoan is working, his name should be pretty recognizable by the end of the summer. Oreo currently DJ’s for the 2008ighties’ crew, Alex Wiley and Chance The Rapper, and his high-energy personality hypes both the emcee and...
There’s currently no other project I’m anticipating more than Tree’s Sunday School II. Not only are we getting a more polished and inspired Tree, but talented dudes such as Danny Brown and Roc Marciano have put in work for the `tape as well. Plus, it definitely doesn’t hurt to have Closed Sessions and Creative Control...
