RIM Blackberry 9000 Images
Sunday, April 20th, 2008
If you are a Verizon Wireless customer and Blackberry addict like me, you’ve grown very impatient waiting for the Blackberry Curve. While we desperately wait on a release date for the VZW Curve, images have surfaced of the upcoming RIM Blackberry 9000 series via Engadget. The 9000 features a slick redesigned outside and futuristic, totally redesigned user interfaced inside! Unfortunately for us Verizon loyalists, this unit features WiFi and HSDPA network support so there’s no telling how long a wait we’re in for.

J. Ivy interview
Friday, April 18th, 2008
My most personal piece would have to be “Dear Father”, a piece I wrote about my pops a few years back. It was one of those pieces where I could just release a lot of baggage like on a lot of emotions that were holding me back. It was healer, it helped heal me.
If you dont know who he is (see: Kanye West – Never Let Me Down ft Jay Z & J. Ivy). One of the greatest poets of our time sat down with the homie HJ to talk about how the song came about and who his influences are, amongst other things. Mr Ivy is truly one inspirational charachter.

Konvict Music?
Friday, April 18th, 2008
According to The Smoking Gun our favorite African-multi-platinum-ex-criminal crooner, is a liar and has greatly exaggerated his past life of crime for street cred and record sales. Apparently he’s not the car-stealin’, amphetamine flippin’, prison fightin’, superthug he led us to believe he was.
Akon’s ad nauseum claims about his criminal career and resulting prison time have been, to an overwhelming extent, exaggerated, embellished, or wholly fabricated, an investigation by The Smoking Gun has revealed. Police, court, and corrections records reveal that the entertainer has created a fictionalized backstory that serves as the narrative anchor for his recorded tales of isolation, violence, woe, and regret. Akon has overdubbed his biography with the kind of grit and menace that he apparently believes music consumers desire from their hip-hop stars.

Daily SMASHup [4.17.08]
Thursday, April 17th, 2008
SMASHup is giving you the 3rd degree tonite. Cassidy jumps on the beat that has the record this year, for most leaked versions by one artist. Last time i counted, i think it was 5 of them (i put a millie on it). CL Smooth and Skyzoo come at perfect timing, while Young Buck is doing the 3-wheel motion on the freeway with Snoop Dogg & The Outlaws. Keeping it west coast, OS would like to say Happy belated Birthday to the homie Blu. He rocked the show last nite with Exile & Fashawn. Shouts to Mike Oz out at FBH for the footage.
(pardon me, but i had to laugh at that guy dancing on stage while Blu was performing “No Greater Love”……..CLASSIC)

Happy Burfday Reggie!
Thursday, April 17th, 2008
I almost forgot that today (4/17) was Reggie Noble’s a.k.a. Redman’s bornday. He ’s 38, kinda mad old but still one of hip-hop’s GOATs. In celebration of the man who gave us Uncle Quilly, Sooperman Luva, Dr. Trevis, and made stuffing tissue up your nose a style back in ‘94, here are some medium-rare joints from back in the Dare Iz A Darkside era.

P is back at it with part numero dos of H.N.I.C. (which is a classic). Lets see how the sophomore slump affects him. In his defense, this is his 3rd album. I was even tempted to type this all out in Spanish too, for the ABC track he did in Spanglish.

New York Kicks – Air Jordan Spizikes
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
So, I’m watching the Spurs and Lakers game the other day and I see Spike Lee court side. Now as a sneaker enthusiast, I already know to look at his kicks because that’s a future preview of Air Jordans. Well, I was right and here is a preview of the Air Jordan Spizikes – New York Knicks Edition (NYK). On Sunday, Spike was in Los Angeles for the Lakers/Spurs game wearing this pair of NY Knicks colored Spizikes and last night he was wearing them again at the final home game for the Knicks. No release date as of yet but we will keep you informed.
