The chances of me wearing a basketball shoe are very slim. Still, this special makeup of the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier IV is worth marveling at.
This sneaker was worn by the participants in the 2010 LeBron James Skills Academy. It contains a predominately red-colored upper constructed of leather and mesh. Minimal black hints show [...]

One phone call from Fadia Kader proved her power to me before I even met her.
A few years ago, an Atlanta printing press tried to swindle TSS out of cash when we were trying to produce a run of tees. A friend suggested that I holler at Fadia, and so I did. On some mafia [...]

DMX’s life and career have become extreme parallels. For every celebrated high, the scales tip and leave him with even more sustained and prolonged lows.

Unfortunately for Estelle, her immense talents and singing ability are a lost cause. She can’t do anything to make me take her seriously. Nope, not even putting out two videos – one featuring Nasir and the other, John Legend – for the same single. The cause?
Estelle’s Teef ruined it all. Yes, petty & immature but [...]

TC’s a fan of WSHH fights where two hood chicks pummel each other with bricks and one of the participants is most likely pregnant. Far far too disturbing for my tastes. I prefer laughable stuff that provides more humor than blood and gore. Like this fight, where the guys are tossing patio furniture and throwing [...]

The Best Fight Scene Ever?

The title is slightly misleading. It should read “the most hilariously baffling fight scene ever that reminds us why YouTube is so valuable to our culture.” Without the viral video haven, there’s no way I would’ve ever bore witness to such amazing choreography.

“I think I’m Malcolm X…Martin Luther…Add a King…Add a Junior…”
Ingenious chorus. The bars can be your call. Fiasco’s version does have a nice off the cuff feel to it, instead of sounding like a scripted “freestyle.” Going across the board, he tosses out references to firearms, revolutionary tactics, Priceline, Reverend Run, BP and comparing his [...]

Sir Luscious’… “King Henry” skit may be one of the funniest album breaks that I’ve heard in a while and Henry and Keisha speaking in Georgia dialect = comedic gold that I always end up rewinding when I hear it.

It’s not particularly uncommon for rappers to flood the listening market with their work. We get mixtaped, trailer’ed and “freestyle’ed” nearly to death. Still, it struck me as odd when Danny Brown followed the release of Detroit State Of Mind 4 so closely with The Hybrid. The Hybrid was definitely more the intentionally more polished [...]
