It’s that time again my dudes (and dudettes) for another edition of Sick Sundays.  After a wild week of high’s and lows, sit back, relax watch Creflo Dollar or Joel Osteen or blast music to wake up your old ass neighbors.    Paris Hilton blacked out on McCain this week in retaliation for that commercial.  […]

Recently, AllHipHop reviewed David Banner’s The Greatest Story Ever Told.  While we stand by both our review ratings and out reviews, we also recognize that people and the artists in particular may have a different opinion.  While the resulting comments supported both sides of the coin.  User j.johnson said: i tend to agree with the […]

  It was inevitable that two of the most popular types of interactive media would eventually become bed-mates and birth a love child. Video game-based movies have been gaining more and more steam over the years, due in part to the huge popularity of our favorite games and the expensive licenses they hold.   While […]
