Over the years, very few streetwear brands have survived the shifts in the economy, and of those, very few have been able to expand their lines beyond where they started. In just under a decade, L-R-G has gone beyond the stereotypical label of “streetwear,” offering an entire lifestyle that their core consumers could grow […]

  There is not an event in existence with the meaning of Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Even if the Electronic Software Association has been unwinding some of the previous life that was associated with the gaming extravaganza by pulling away some of the extravagance that once populated the event, it is still the source […]

  I hope you’re all still gadget happy the way I am! I know it’s been a minute, but I got your tech fix.   If you’re serious about taking pics at that summer concerts and music festivals, Samsung TL34HD ($329.95) may be what you need. It flaunts 14.7 mega pixels! That alone makes me […]

  I read about celebrity fitness experts all the time. On a regular basis, some muscle-bound man or woman trainer poses with a muscle bound man or woman celebrity promising us the same results if you just buy his/her book, protein drink, or some pill or potion.   Potentially dangerous exercises are taught via videotapes […]

If you’re gonna see The Dark Knight here’s some advice: Don’t bring the kids. This ain’t no cartoon. I don’t how in the hell it got a PG-13 rating. The sh*t gave me nightmares, and I ain’t no kid. Secondly, see it on the IMAX. The aerial scenes and fight scenes are crazy. While the […]

Welcome folks, to a special Thursday edition of Sick Sundays.  The aim is to bounce around the world of Hip-Hop and give a lil light to new jacks, give a bit of a history lesson, introduce a non-HipHop joint for the people, and hit you with a few recent joints.  The main aim however is […]

To this day, I am disappointed in the fact that the 2008 NBA season is over. Congratulations to the newly crowned champions, the Boston Celtics. However, there is one thing that I’m glad I don’t have to hear for a while.   When a defensive team wins the championship, you know what’s coming. A sports […]

    Ladies, if you are tired of wearing a T-shirt over your bathing suit, this article is dedicated to you. If you don’t want to be mistaken for a beached whale while in Cancun, this article is for you too.     July is National Bikini month. Some of you women may not be happy […]

  A mere mortal relying as much on wit and intelligence as he does brawn, DC Comics’ Batman is a character ranking up there in popularity with Superman and Spiderman. The Batman franchise of films has been much beloved and much maligned. A tricked out Batmobile, yes. Nipples on the frikkin’ Batsuit, negative.   With […]

  Back in the early ‘90s, Chris Webber exploded onto the sports and Hip-Hop scene as a member of the University of Michigan’s legendary Fab Five Freshman. With their bald heads, baggy yellow shorts, black shoes and socks, swagger and their “me against the world” attitude, the Fab Five transcended the game by bringing Hip-Hop […]

  It is the continuation of a legacy spawned by what has been far from Hip-Hop’s proudest moment. Flavor of Love gave us I Love New York, Rock of Love and Charm School, and now the VH1 Celebreality machine has created a little brother for the MTV generation.   From G’s to Gents brings together […]

  Klitschko Stops Thompson in the 11th   Wladimir Klitschko continued his dominance of the heavyweight division with an 11th round knockout over a game but overmatched Tony Thompson this past Saturday (July 12).   Throughout the first six rounds, Thompson was able to find success whenever he pressured a still gun-shy prone Klitschko. With […]

Hip-Hop hasn’t typically embraced leftist sub-genres as readily as Rock and Pop. So even though Beck’s early hits were often just oddball Hip-Hop records disguised as Rock, The Community never made any attempt to claim him. His support from other audiences has been inconsistent as well, freeing him to wander across borders as he pleases […]

  E3 is next week, so be on the lookout for a complete Peep Game dedicated to the news extravaganza and conference.

  The acting career of Common poses a very interesting paradox to his job as an MC. Getting Common on your song is an honor, as his verse is usually the most important part of any track he’s featured on. Let’s not get into the stock value of his entire catalog – up to and […]
