MUSICNEWS: Ice-T Doesn’t Like Hip-POP, Record Execs Trafficking COCAINE, and Rihanna’s New Album Coming Soon…

The story of the murder of James C. Anderson is a terrible and infuriating story; one more than deserving of the attention it has received in the news media and blogosphere. But new details are emerging; namely that James C. Anderson was a openly gay man, happily living with his partner of 17 years and their 4 year-old […]

I’m going to try something new this football season. I’m going to actually try to understand football. I’ve always been a casual fan, and way more interested in the business of football but I’ve never taken the time to learn the nuances of the game. Since the NBA has divorced me, I figured now is […]

September 7, 2011 Idiotic Senator Joe Walsh has apologized for calling President Obama “idiotic”. He then somehow both downplayed and stood behind statements he made earlier this year asserting that President Obama was only elected because he’s black. Without question, Barack Obama has got to be the most disrespected President of all time. I wonder […]

But don’t be fooled. Their success is organic and real; not some record label’s scheme. The rise of artists like Odd Future and Kreayshawn (as well as Lil B and Waka Flocka Flame) is subversive to Hip Hop’s status quo.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkuuHX1iebE Some cringe when they hear their high-pitched voices Speaking out in individuality. In a world invested in aping heterosexual-identities. Idolizing hyper-masculinity, Causing downlow men to hide the truth from their family, Causing feminine men to be ostracized within our community. As mothers frown at the thought of tolerance and fathers yell at their sons […]

I doubt Mitt Romney understands the plight of the underprivileged. And I couldn’t tell you if he likes Black people, either. But if he’s a Hip Hop fan, I bet he’ll love Watch The Throne. Because Mitt Romney and Jay-Z actually have a lot in common.

This aint a Jay Z, Kanye or “Watch the Throne” hate post. I’m listening to the album right now and it’s pretty good. But while we’re caught in the hype of 2 of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars coming together and all the #WTT tweets and reviews, it’s a lot more important stuff going on the world […]

And that’s why Amy Winehouse was so unique, controversial and fascinating. It was impossible to tell where her music ended and her real life began. There was no script. In the words of Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse was “an analog girl, livin’ in a digital world,” oblivious to the voyeuristic culture of camera flashes and snarky bloggers that surrounded her.

These are my top five albums of 2011, thus far. Pick these records up if you haven’t already, and let us in on some of your personal faves….

I think 4 is an amazing album. But pop stars are called “pop stars” because they make music that’s POPular. For a big budget, worldwide pop superstar, the point is to sell records, not impress music nerds like myself.
