Sometimes you just gotta say “F*CK YOU!” [Official Music Video]

Cee-Lo Green did.
Still hung up on your ex-girl? See some guy driving around town with the girl you love? Tell him to f*ck off? Or better, just post this on his Facebook wall or blare it in your car while you’re idling at a red light beside his red Ferrari.
Cee-Lo has collaborated with Diddy, Outkast, [...]

Nancy Botwin is BACK… too bad Weeds still sucks! [Gallery]

For those having trouble keeping track of when their favourite shows commence now that fall shows are preceded by summer shows, and they all just start at random times when nobody is paying attention (not bitter at all) get ready for another season of Weeds, as the new season is already 2 episodes deep. As [...]

#MusicMonday: Power Freestyle – Will Steep @TGCHU

“I fucking love this song” is what I said to Will last week when he first played me this song and I could finally contain my laughter. We’re always honoured to have a track made specially for us, and we welcome any artist out there to do the same. Since we last published something about [...]

#MusicMonday – Zeds Dead Baby! @WhosZed

We here at LDU did some very serious soul searching over the past week and asked ourselves how we haven’t possibly featured Zeds Dead in our #MusicMonday feature. So while reading this post, keep in mind that I’m not exactly putting you on to anything new. By now, these guys have taken over the Toronto [...]

Drake and Nicki Minaj: Engaged?! Married?! Annulled?! All in just one day!

Yup, these two Young Money family members are now family. Or are they?
On Friday, August 27th, 2010, Nicki Minaj and Drake tweeted about tying the knot. The famous rappers definitely gave their fans and media something to speculate about with these tweets.
“U scurred? @drakkardnoir u ready to make the announcement or wha?” Minaj tweeted Friday [...]

G.O.O.D. Fridays have arrived! [Audio Updated]

“I’m calling it good Fridays. Yall know every Friday yall gone have a new joint from our [...]

Remembering Aaliyah… Nine Years Later

On August 25th, 2001, singer/actress Aaliyah died in a plane crash after filming a music video for Rock The Boat in the Bahamas. She was only 22.
Aaliyah (nee Aaliyah Dana Haughton) born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Detroit, Michigan, had a budding career, with a biopic in the works when the world lost [...]

Kat Stacks Exposes Soulja Boy As A Cokehead & General Idiot [Video]

I’ve done my absolute best to stay away from the “Kat Stacks exposes rappers for weird shit” timeline, because the whole thing is pretty gatdamn stupid, and if we’ve learned anything from this at all, it’s that you can’t love them hoes. Dr. Dre taught me that. He’s a doctor. He knows his shit.
Anyway, this [...]

Drake feat. Lil’ Wayne: Miss Me [Official Video]

When it comes to music videos, I feel as though Drake is just trying TOO hard. It kind of makes me angry…With some overstimulating visuals for a pretty chill track, and a random ass intro to boot, I’m pissed. And seeing as how it’s 5 am, I just got home from the club, and I’m [...]

Chez Paris… Hilton

Like great granddaddy, like great granddaughter.  Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has decided to follow in the family footsteps and start her very own five-star hotel chain.
Conrad Hilton started up the chain of Hilton Hotels which would later become  world-renowned in 1943. And now his great granddaughter is prepared to add her own flavour to [...]

Ajani Cinema: Stupid People [Awesome Video]

I first saw this video sometime last week and I was absolutely blown away. Ajani is an old friend from the old country UWO and the dude is one of the most talented visual artists I’ve ever seen. He’s a seasoned photographer, with a number of amazing photo sets including a dope hip-hop project, and [...]

#Music Monday: Mac & Spencer [Audio]

#MusicMonday: Anna Cyzon Is One Badass Blonde! [Video]

Some of you are well aware who Anna Cyzon is, some of you have no idea how to handle the C-Y-Z combo in her very Polish last name (pronnounced size-on), and others still should know who she is, but have forgotten due to over consumption of alcohol over the years or some other unidentified side [...]

London Town – Jon Lines x Richie Blackz [Official Video+Skate Video]

I’m very proud to present these two videos. Why? Well, usually when you hear about a rapper coming out of Canada, much less London, you expect them to suck. I know, it’s a terrible way to go about life, but there have also been a lot of straight up terrible emcees that make us all [...]

Faith: K-os feat. Drake [Audio + Mixtape Download]

True or False…
Drake has put Toronto on the “map” when it comes to hip-hop.
Everyone has a different opinion, but I personally feel it takes more than just one artist to represent a city. Chicago has Kanye, Common and Lupe Fiasco. Miami has Rick Ross and …Pitbull? L.A. has Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Ice Cube [...]

Eminem feat. Rihanna: Love The Way You Lie [Official Video]

With Recovery recently released, people have been freaking out over the return of the one they call Slim Shady. There is no arguing he is one of the greatest rappers of all time, however I’m not going to lie, Recovery wasn’t quite the gem I hoped it would be. With all the hype on Eminem’s [...]

Drake x Jay-Z x Fabolous x Jeezy x Eminem x Rick Ross [Epic OVA Festival Footage]

We’ll have more footage and images courtesy The Come Up Show, but if you missed this concert (October’s Very Own Festival) you better have a damn good reason, or pre-sale tickets to Eminem and Jay-Z in the fall! With appearance from Eminem, Jay-z, Bun-B, Young Jeezy, Beyonce, and Rick Ross, last night’s concert will put [...]

“I’ve had sex with a porn star… an amateur porn star… threesomes, foursomes, and all those things…” -Ricky “Do Work” Liorti
A few weeks ago we put the word out on the audition days for Toronto’s version of Jersey Shore, Lake-Shore. Well 25 finalists have been selected and we’re proud to announce the first finalist was [...]

Deadmau5 Collapses On Stage

DJ collapses on stage.

Fall In Love – Estelle feat. Nas [Music Video]

If you haven’t already heard Estelle’s new single, Fall In Love, the British diva is back with another summer friendly club hit. There is no denying she can sing, and I’m a big fan of her music, however I’m not really convinced with this single. Sure it’s a solid song, but over a year has [...]

Thor Trailer LEAKED! [Video]

Words do not describe how jacked I am for this movie! Marvel has been mediocre-to-lackluster at best with it’s most recent films (for obvious reasons), and in all honesty that includes Iron Man 2. Shit was weak, we all know this. However, this new Thor movie could be the resurgence of Marvel films, and with [...]

Halo: Reach [Official Trailer]

I used to be a gamer. It was a world before X-Box 360, or Playstation 3. A world where the original X-Box was hands down, the dominating gaming console, and people still played games on the PC. A world where my online gamer tag, (Bounty_Killah) was one that struck fear into any gamer worldwide. A [...]

Starcraft II: Say goodbye to your sons, brothers, and boyfriends

We have awaited the arrival of this day 12 years now! The original Starcraft dropped in 1998, with the expansion, Broodwar, shortly after, and nothing following until today. Around the world the effects of such a drought being broken will be felt by many! Starcraft II heralds the dawn of a new day, and for [...]

#MusicMonday: The TapeDeckBros [Bikinis+Boxheads Video]

Ash Ainsworth and Chris Sanakidis first joined forces in the rock band Animal Clinic in the mid 2000′s. During this time their interest in electronic music began to manifest. As Chris dabbled in mixing tracks, Ash began to produce score material for television and video games. As the members of Animal [...]

Descartes, Dreams and the Philosophy Behind Inception

I’m about to tell you how Inception ends. If you haven’t seen the movie, stop reading. Now.
========================= SPOILER WARNING =========================
If you haven’t seen Inception yet, then close your browser right now, because I’m going to ruin it for you. And if you’re looking for something to do [...]

Howl [Movie Trailer]

If you know me well, you know that Howl is my favourite poem of all time and Allen Ginsberg is among my favourite poets (I’m an English teacher after all… kind of). You would also understand why I was absolutely beside myself when I saw the trailer for the biopic that would depict one of [...]

#MusicMonday – Love Thy Brother

Anybody who makes a point of frequenting Hype Machine on a daily basis should by now have heard of DJ duo Love Thy Brother. Coming out of Montreal, these guys have been killing shows alongside some of the biggest names in the electronic scene, and have been releasing new music constantly. So much in fact, [...]

Canadian Musical Sensation Mac Graham Releases His New Album, “Midnight”

Last night London, Ontario native and rising Canadian musical sensation Mac Graham performed at his London CD Release Party at Norma Jeans. His vocals and style have been related to the likes of Justin Timberlake and the late Michael Jackson, and last night he certainly lived up to those claims.  Some of the highlight [...]

#MusicMonday: The Girls Can Hear Us @TGCHU

I had the opportunity to meet with Will of the The Girls Can Hear last week to discuss the history of TGCHU and the future of their music. These guys have already performed internationally and have received rave reviews on HypeM,  Soundcloud and the interweb at large. What’s more is that they’re our people. Will [...]

Support The Canadian Hero Fund: Highway of Heroes [The Trews]

There are many conflicting opinions on the current war in Afghanistan.  Some support a Canadian presence there, while others believe we have no place in that country.  Regardless of your opinion of the subject, we can all agree that these soldiers are putting themselves in harms way because their country asked them to.  Not everyone [...]

5 Sites Like Ninja Video [RIP NinjaVideo.net]

The interweb is still in an uproar over the seizure and shut down of Ninja Video’s domain last week (click for details) and the laws of supply and demand dictate that a new website must be found to fill the void and satiate our gen-Y need for constant streaming media. Now while I’m an avid [...]

You’re Sexy! You’re Cute! Take Off Your Riot Suit! [Real Talk G20 Remix]

We all knew it was only a matter of time before somebody did this, but YES there is in fact a remix to the epic G20 protest chant “You’re Sexy! You’re Cute! Take off your riot suit!” (see original video below) and I’m damn happy it’s one of Torona’s own DJ’s, Real Talk, that put [...]

Oh Canada, Please [Video Compilation]

I’ve actually been meaning to put Canada, Please on this site for a long time ago, and what better time to do it than Canada Day? UWO grad and long time friend of LDU, Andrew Gunadie has been cranking out hilariously ridiculous videos (and fighting web racism) for as long as I’ve been making inflammatory [...]

RIP NinjaVideo.net [Shut Down By Operation In Our Sites]

Looking for a replacement? Here are
5 Sites Like Ninja Video [RIP NinjaVideo.net]

So I’ve been online for several hours straight tonight and I noticed 2 people’s Facebook statuses change to “RIP NinjaVideo” and I of course thought it was a hoax. Ninja Video and websites like it have been around for centuries years without much effective [...]

Katy Perry: California Gurls [Video]

So I slipped up a bit and haven’t managed to get this video up until now. I mean, I’m only a week behind but in that time, the video has already had nearly 8 million views on youtube. I don’t know what it is about this track, but bitches go crazy to this shit. I [...]

Snoop Dogg: Oh Sookie (True Blood Tribute) [Video]

This one is for all my True Blood fans out there. I’m having difficulty understanding how this came to be, but I can say that I’m kind of pleased it happened. What Snoop Dogg and True Blood have to do with each other, but in this video it seems Snoop has a bone to pick [...]

2010 BET Awards Recap!

For those of you who didn’t know, the 2010 BET awards were last night, celebrating the best of well….Black Entertainment! I’m not going to lie…I used to watch BET. Before AJ & Free got replaced on 106 & Park…Before Jin the Freestyle Friday Champion’s career belly flopped faster than the fat kid at the public [...]

#MusicMonday – Kelly Rowland

For this week’s #MusicMonday, I’m breaking the mold a bit and examining an artist we all know in some way. When I asked people about Kelly Rowland some people remembered her from her song “Dilemna” which featured Nelly and portrayed basically everything wrong with the world of music at the time, while others simply remember [...]

Drake Performs You Know You Know Acapella [Video]

Now this is dope.

Eminem Performs Won’t Back Down & Renegade!

I’ve been debating for a few days whether or not I should post an album review for Eminem‘s new LP “Recovery.” I thought I should because I feel that my opinion is more important than most people’s, however I didn’t want to make any enemies on this one so I’m going to bite my tongue [...]

Golden Gloves: The Mensch [Audio]

Anybody who claims to love electronic music in Toronto should by now be more than familiar with DJ duo,
The Golden Gloves. Besides just being all around wicked people to throw down with, they rock a crowd like
no other and are equally dangerous in the studio where they hide out during day light hours. Having played
shows [...]

10 Worst Movie Sequels

[Ed. I love movies and everything that has to do with film, so when I see a list like this I've GOT to repost it. Unfortunately after looking at this list I came up with another 20 sequels that were just-as-if-not-worse than the ones on this list. Feel free to add your own and we'll [...]

The Roots: How I Got Over [Music Video]

While everyone has been throwing up #TML tweets all week, people seem to be overlooking the fact that The Roots are about to drop their 11th studio album next week entitled How I Got Over. Contrary to my usual self, I intend no hate here when I say that dropping a debut album is dope [...]
