Set that Big Boi Free!
Dear The Music Industry,
What the fuck is wrong with you?! Big Boi’s album is done, it’s collecting dust on the shelf, everything we’ve heard from it has been hellfire and yet you can’t give the guy a fucking release date?! I’m about to quit this shit business and go be an accountant so I can [...]

Got techniques drippin’ out my buttcheeks
13 years ago today, Biggie Smalls passed away. At age 12, Christopher Wallace started selling crack, working the area on Fulton Street between St. James Place and Washington Avenue. By 22, “Ready to Die” was on its way to becoming the single greatest display of lyrical ability in hip-hop history.
This isn’t my favorite song of [...]
Free Shit Friday: The Love Letters Edition
Today’s free shit friday follows a failed attempt at love in the information age
Dear anonymous free shit loving girl, I’ve been working up the courage to write you all week, and the truth is, I know this might seem sudden, but I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life, I love you. I [...]

The Morning Benders – Big Echo
Stoned, struggling against the harsh halogens in studio B, Chris Chu is hunched in a thick leather chair facing the computer. From my vantage point on the couch that’s now Nic Pope’s bed, all I can see is the top of his mop and from here he looks a lot like Doctor Claw-the villain from [...]

I got a filín
It’s one thing to discover some burgeoning indie band with 2 songs and <150 fans on their myspace, and it’s another to stumble upon
a band dating 50 years back and entering a gateway to a whole genre of music you never knew existed. Today, I’ve fallen in love and had my heart broken, all due to [...]
Do it, Do it Roger, Do it!
1999- 5 days after the Columbine horror left the nation licking an open wound, 5 shots from a .357 Smith & Wesson echoed in the alley behind Roger Tee Enterprises, and funk machine Roger Troutman was dead at the hands of his older brother Larry, who saved the 5th and final bullet for himself.
1996- Tupac [...]

Best Coast x Yours Truly x P4k
Around 11am, Best Coast emerged from their hotel dressed entirely in black, which made me wonder if their sunfuzz pop was merely a mask they wore to disguise some deeper turmoil. My gut had it that Bethany and Bobb were the quiet types, while their friend –Ali of Vivian Girls, with her crimson lipstick–would be [...]
