Let’s take a quick look at what transpired at the 2013 Grammy Awards last night — here’s a quick list of 10 observations that stood out to me: 1. Whatever in holy hell Frank Ocean was talking about during his acceptance speech had most of America like, “Is Frank Ocean getting ready to put down [...]
I’ve been on mental vacation since my birthday earlier this week. With the exception of watching Gunplay from MMG get thrown around like a ragdoll, I haven’t paid much attention to any news in the Entertainment business. I had two choices today on what I wanted to do for my humorous post on Friday. It [...]
Nas released a gem last week. If you like rap music and you haven’t heard it by now, I would recommend you do so at your earliest convenience. It’s been a while since we’ve heard this type of rap music and it has been missed. A few of my frat brothers and me started to [...]

Not many people keep the perspective of realizing that hip hop changes every few years, into a [...]
