The new lineup posted for Bumbershoot 2008 includes T.I. as well as Keyshia Cole and Estella.

Now i have to start figuring out how I'm going to get into it this year, Fuck paying 30 bucks.

Exit 13

When I came home from the hospital after my birth in 1992 I came home to the sounds of my 5 brothers standing around a boom box, bumpin LL Cool J's "I Cant live with out my radio" 16 years later, LL Cool J is still killing the game. He is set to hit with yet another album Exit 13 this summer. Two singles are all ready out, and its what you would expect from LL Cool J, some classic hip hop, and some songs for the ladies. LL has been killing the game since his first album "Radio" way back in 1985, I'd expect nothing different from him.

Get Down-Rick Ross Feat. Pharrell

I'd say another instance of a great Pharrell beat, with the wrong rapper. This just isn't a Rick Ross kind of beat it doesn't work for him. He needs more of a hustle kind of beat as apposed to a skateboard kinda of beat if that makes since to anyone. Although this song is steadily growing on me I can't say it is actually a good song. Cathy? sure, but good? No. I except more from Ross The Boss.

Nas's Nigger To Be A Mixtape

Nas is teaming up with DJ Green Lantern to release his Nigger as a mixtape. Nas new album Nas was first set to release as Nigger and then Nigga until threats that the album would get no play and not be shelved forces him to change the title. Now teaming up with DJ Green Latnern and releaseing the album as a mixtape, there is no way to stop production. The mixtape will include bonus tracks that are not included on Nas as well as verses and The Last Real Nigga Alive off of God's Son redone for the mixtape

Kanye West -Flashing Lights Video (Alternate)

Kanye's Alternate Version Of Flashing Lights. Kanye shot three versions of this music video, and this is the second one. I'm glad this wasn't the final I felt like I was going to have a siezure before the end of this shit.

Slick Rick Granted Pardon.

This new black governors is kinda cool. Slick Rick has been granted a full pardon and is now allowed to go back to his childhood residence, New York. This is what the governor had to say about the situation:

Mr. Walters has fully served the sentence imposed upon him for his convictions, had an exemplary disciplinary record while in prison and on parole, and has been living without incident in the community for more than 10 years,” Patterson said in a statement. “In that time, he has volunteered at youth outreach programs to counsel youth against violence, and has become a symbol of rehabilitation for many young people. Given these demonstrated rehabilitative efforts, I urge federal immigration officials to once again grant Mr. Walters relief from deportation, so that he is not separated from his many family members who are United States citizens, including his two teenage children.

Common - Universal Mind Control

Oh man Common what is going on. I'm almost as disappointed in this track as I am in The Cool Kids Much Hyped Album The Bake Sale. This reminds me of something off of Electric Circus which was far from Commons usual soulful sound. Pharrell's beat is not the problem to me, in fact I really like Pharrell's beat on this track. Pharrell can do much better but the real issue is that the beat is just not Common. The beat is way to fast for him and lacks a lot of the rhythmic soul that gives Common such panache. Common cant flow over this beat, he should have stuck to a nice Kanye beat and called it a day. Honestly Common, what happened to the Resurrection days?

Put It On The Calender

The man the myth....the legend Chris Rock is coming to Seattle. August 27th the funniest man on the planet will be hittin the Paramount theater. I can already promise you that it will be some entertaining ish.....make sure you try and be one of the lucky ones in attendance.

Nike Air Tech Challenge New Colorway

The last colorway that was released in the Air Tech Challenge was recieved with enthusism by fans (me in perticular) The new colorway, Clay/Blue, is a little more less extravagent to me lacking a lot of the WOW factor.

Macklemore At Lakeside

So yesterday Macklemore showed up at my school for our annual May Day celebration. Yea I know Macklemore at Lakeside, as you might think the majority of the community was just not ready for his lyrical content. He performed a couple of different tracks from his album The Language Of My Whole a couple tracks I haven't heard before. The overall performance was great, Macklemore really worked with what he had, given the fact that audience was lacking greatly, and he could only say words like "damn" and "hell" causing some of his songs to sound incomplete. The best performance of the day was his "White Privilege" where he addresses his own struggle as a white rapper in the ever so changing industry of Hip-Hop. I felt that performance in general was received with mixed feelings in the crowd. Another Stand out performance of the day was "Love Song" which the Mack dedicated to a couple in the crowd adding to his already outstanding on stage charisma. Overall Macklemore did great with what he was given, got a few free burgers sold some tees so I'm sure he enjoyed himself. Support this local Artist

Peace to Aisha for bringing HipHop to Lakeside.

I'm A Hustler

So hes come along way from Marcy projects.....the New Jersey Nets have announced that Jay-z will be one of the 14 representatives for the Net's at the 2008 NBA draft lottery (today at 8 on espn) it is unclear to the public what his role will be with the team and what the futcher of the team will be but as a major owner and with jay-z I'm sure it will be profound

Fast and Furious 4/ Lil Wayne

Wayne is set to star in the upcoming fast and furious movie dropping in 2009.....Wayne clearly has no problems in the rap game so i guess he is just looking for a challenge......I'm not to sure how his acting skills will be but .....you don't go to a Fast and Furious movie expecting to see good acting so I'm sure it will just be like the last hella dope action and terrible plot and acting but what ever ...... we will see

What Is The Music Industry Coming Too?

Its pure comedy, but why does this song even exist.

I cant front I laughed my ass of but that's besides the point.

Nas "Nigger" An Ex-nay For Album Title

Nas new album, set to release July 1st, entitled Nigger is now no longer going to be released with such a controversial title. The new title is simply Nas the release date will stay the same but I guess Nas, who originally seemed very confident with his decicision, has decided to chang ethe name. His original dicesion was backed by LA Reed and Jay-Z and called it an expression off the artist but recently there has been word the the album would never hit shelves because of the controversial title. Earlier this month he talked about the album with MTV talking about the title and wether or not he was going to keep the title.

“Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title,” Nas explained. “Who knows what’s gonna turn out and be on that title? Who knows what the title will be? It was important to me to let the fans know what the album would be musically…Everybody is trying to stop the title. It’s just people being scared of what’s real. Somebody is trying to open up dialogue for people to talk. People thats high up, who aren’t really understanding what I’m doing, are scared."

“They’re scared for reason I understand, but the fans gotta know either way: This is he same album,” he finished. “The content is the same, the direction is the same, the message is gonna be everything I intended it to be musically." Via XXl

N.E.R.D/Hype Williams Movie

So Skateboard P announced in a radio interview over the weekend that N.E.R.D would be releasing its first feature film some time in the upcoming year......super directer Hype Williams ( the man behind most of kanye's videos and the tribes and all that) will be taking on the project of putting the story of N.E.R.D on film......the story is crazy ...Hype Williams is genius ....it should be dope

Nike "Miami South Beach" Pack

The bright lights and sunny beaches of Miami are allegedly behind this latest pack of sneakers from the Nike. Many of the models feature warm fluorescent gradients which are kept minimal mostly as an accent seen on the synthetic parts. Models include the usual suspects such as the Air Max 90, Air Max 1, Air Max BW and Shox NZ and are slated for a Euro exclusive starting June 9th.Via Hypebeast

These are my personal favorites of the collection. I don't quite know how I feel about the whole Happy Easter/Lets go to Basket&Robbins and get rainbow sorbet color schemes going on here. I guess I'm just a big fan of air max 90's

N.E.R.D - Everybody Nose Music Video

N.E.R.D always come with something a tad different then most rappers when it comes to not only their music but also their music videos. Everybody Nose is no exception, the video is just wild to say the list once I started it I had to see what was going to happen next. Cinematography people, cinematogtraphy at its best. (the best you can get dealing with music videos I guess)

Some people say I look like Pharrell Williams

The Cool Kids Dropped their new mix tape "Cool Ass Ninjas" after their first mix tape Totally Flossed Out. I've been waiting for some new Cool Kids to surface for a long time and his is a pleasant surprise to me.

Check out #19 stove top my personal favorite. Download the mix tape here.

Lost Ones

It is now evident to everyone that there is no way for Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic election. Once cleverly disgused as being incredibly tenacious, it is now clear that instead of tenacity Clinton just has an gigantic ego. Seriously sometimes you just gotta know when to give up. In order for her to win the Democratic Election, Clinton would have to win 70% of the votes in upcoming nominations, she barely won in Indiana. Or if news got spread that Obama is actually Osama Bin Ladan trying to sabotage the US government. Or better yet, we all know tupac isnt dead. He decided to come out of hiding in the Virgin Island and run for president under the alter ego Barack Obama. Like honestly Hillary just throw in the towel, you lost to a black man get over it.

Speaking of the Barack Obama, check out this tee limited time at Laced Up everyones friendly fashion retailer.

Half of them then proceeded to hold two of the men down and beat um and the 3rd man was also beaten.

Kanye West's, Pastelle Sunglasses Collection

With Kanye West's much anticipated Clothing line release, Pastelle, comes word that the brand will also be putting out sunglasses as well. Ksubi from Austrailia is responsible for the sunglasses design for the line, and apparently these glasses will be going for like $2000 when they drop in October. (Some japanese hipsters have already placed orders sight unseen!) I know Kanye's not going to put anything out thats wack so I'm looking forward to what hes going to do not only with the sunglasses but the brand in general.
