It’s been a long season and even with two days remaining, we still haven’t set the table.  The Chicago Cubs clinched the NL Central Friday with a win over the Cincinatti Reds and a loss by the Milwaukee Brewers, who dropped their third game in a row and second straight to the San Diego Padres who are […]

More like the queens of Soul from days past than today’s more common Pop divas, Keyshia Cole can sing her ass off. While most of today’s female “R&B” artists sell themselves with elaborate acts and top-dollar production, she is one of the few newer artists who lets her voice be the star of the show. […]

  First off, shout-outs to both New York teams for their big wins last week.  I was impressed with how both teams dug deep and played the kind of football that they are capable of playing.  Keep it up.  To my fantasy football family, the bye weeks have started.  Pay attention to your squad so […]

Double Standard ProceduresWithin the Matrix, whom did you deem the greater danger:  the agents or the sleeper cells – those who existed in the Matrix without knowledge that the natural world had been destroyed?  At first glance, the answer seems obvious, but if you dig deeper beneath the surface, a more disturbing answer awaits.While the […]

Regardless of what you think of Sean “Diddy” Combs artistically, as an entrepreneur he gets busy.  His storied rise in the music business from intern to mogul laid the blueprint for countless imitators to build upon with their own record companies. Diddy’s clothing extension, Sean John, has grown by leaps and bounds from their original […]

Usually I ignore Bill O’Reilly. The man has absolutely no integrity or shame; and, like Rush Limbaugh, makes his money by appealing to the worse elements of Human nature. But I had to take pause at his comments about dining at Sylvia’s with Al Sharpton recently when he said:     “There wasn’t one person […]

Every good player needs a dope nickname. Therefore, Washington Wizard’s guard Gilbert Arenas is set with his Agent Zero moniker. His exploits on the b-ball court wreaked havoc on NBA defenses enough to earn him All-NBA Second Team honors for the ‘06/07 season and off the court his charity (he donates money for every point […]

For over four years, AllHipHop has hosted the Social Lounge, an ongoing series of discourse about issues in the Hip-Hop community. Last week, AllHipHop’s Social Lounge – a part of AllHipHop Week 2007 -was as ill as advertised. It offered a fervent, productive discussion between radio host Wendy Williams, rappers David Banner, Pharaohe Monch, Master […]

Jill Scott is undeniably one of the most popular constituents of the Neo-Soul movement. On her third studio album, there’s proof of her seven-year stint as a recording artist. The album cover is the first where her face is shown as it looks in the present (her first was the top of her head, the […]

The date was September 11, 2007. The conference room of the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta, USA was packed as 50 Cent and Kanye West engage in a debate over whose CD will outsell the other. Although, Kanye West has been known to kick a serious rhyme or two, it’s not about that this go-round. It’s […]

The Social Lounge was definitely a change of pace from the dramatics the rest of the week had seen….or so I thought. It took place at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University. The turnout was great. Everyone packed in to hear what our panel of “experts” had to say about a […]

All Hip-Hop NFL Week 2 Recap   This is the first of weekly NFL recaps.  Sorry there wasn’t one for Week 1, but I was too busy celebrating my San Francisco 49ers win over the Arizona Cardinals.  Besides, that was the past, let’s take a look at Week 2:     Game of the Week: […]

Can it be that it was all so simple then?  In the short, event filled history of Hip Hop, there have been many pivotal events that, if different, may have changed the course of this music and this culture drastically.  One such event is the unfortunate death of Scott Sterling, co-founder of Boogie Down Productions.  […]

Comedy meets political theory in the play Till the Break of Dawn.

Staying true to the Hip-Hop culture itself, Hoch’s play running at the Abron’s Art Center in New York City’s Lower […]

Tuesday was a day that saw two events hit NYC as AllHipHop Week continues to roll on. Earlier in the day the Kids Block event went off, showing that the AllHipHop  experience does not exclude anyone, especially children. Later on that night, probably one of the most anticipated events since the schedule was announced, The […]

I was reborn Monday September 18th, 2007 at the ultra chic Duvet nightclub. The parents of this Rebirth were none other than AllHipHop. The AHH Fashion Show was definitely an event to remember.  People lined up outside – one on top of the other – waiting in anticipation for a chance to get a glimpse […]

My weekend with AllHipHop began with the BBQ, which took place at Manhattan’s trendy chill spot Slate this past Saturday. I am proud to report there was no line or guest list issues (at least for me) at this event. Although the event took place indoors, the main components of a good cookout were still […]
