What’s Your Favourite Biggie Track [RIP CW]

Across the Twitterverse and Blogosphere alike, many payed reverence today to one of the greatest that ever did it. The man is in the top 2 of everyone’s top 3, and decades after he first made his mark we’ll still be jamming to P. Diddy’s latest remix album. I put the word out to my [...]

Lauren O’Nizzle On The Die Antwoord Phenomenon

They’re Fierce. Furious. Futuristik. FRE$H.
So shockingly profane, so delightfully obscure – SO ZEF IT HURTS.
If you haven’t heard of Die Antwoord yet, you need to boost your internet creepage activities by like, 150%, for serious (Dr. O’Nizzle prescribes at least 3 hours of solid web surfing a day. Ignore those cheesy “get out and play” [...]

Money To Blow: Candy Slice Girls’ Show Tunes Remix [Video]

I absolutely hhhhhate reposting old videos, but I’ve been really feeling the Candy Slice Girls lately, and couldn’t pass up on putting their rendition of Money To Blow by Drake, Baby, and Weezy up on the site. The premise of the video is a little contrived, but the end result is pure gold. Lauren O’Nizzle [...]

Wiley feat. Emeli Sande – Never Be Your Woman [Music Video]

Bringing you your new favourite song from two artists you’ve probably never heard of, this track is just mind boggling. Maybe I’m wrong, I’m not expecting this to be down everyone’s alley, but after listening to this song on heavy rotation for about a week and a half now, I figured it was finally time [...]

We Are The World 25 For Haiti [Video]

With all of the focus on the devastating news brought on by Nodar Kumaritashvili’s devastating luge incident, I’m sure that many missed out on the international debut of “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” last night on NBC. 25 Years after Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones released the original, the new compilation includes many [...]

Kid MK Presents: The Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Electro Mix

Hey folks, it’s me, Kid MK! After the last few parties, I decided it was finally time to drop another mix for you guys. Sorry for the delay I was hoping to put it out before I went to Brazil, but then I didn’t….so deal with it! As always, download the mix, show it to [...]

Nate’s Rant: The Average Homeboy Got Famous For Racist & Terrible Music

Today I was on Blogsearch.Google.com, doing what we in the web community like to call “research”, when I came across a “hot query” that seemed a little out of place. I’d seen this Average Homeboy video (by Denny Blaze) years ago on Ebaum’s World (remember that site?), but I hadn’t seen or heard anything like [...]

Rihanna Rides a Lion aka “Rude Boy” Video

You want to get our attention? Throw some Lion imagery on anything, and then throw a gorgeous woman on top of that. Formula for awesome- Yep, you know this! And please believe that as long as she’s rocking the bangs, Rihanna is hot as hell. The track is decent at best, but catchy as fuck, [...]

Freedom – Clipse [Official Video]

One thing I know, is that those who like Clipse, like them A LOT. It wasn’t but hours ago, I got into an argument with Nate Black and he began reciting verse after verse of the new album to prove his point. I’m not going to waste time writing anything more because if you don’t [...]

Liz Trinnear’s Much Music Rap Video!

So I was just sitting at a friend’s place, minding my own business when I got word that Liz Trinnear was dropping her rap video on Much. Needless to say, I watched with rapt attention as she spit hotfire for a glorious 1:35 minutes, and well, you’re just going to have to see this for [...]

Insane Cool-Down Stretches With Extreme Trainer Maylee!

I’ve come across some awesome people in my lifetime and I’ve also come across some strangely awesome people as well.

Take Your Shirt Off – T-Pain [Music Video]

I don’t know what’s more upsetting about this video. The fact that there are about 5 girls in this entire video, or the fact that absolutely none of them have their shirt’s off. I mean, before watching this video, if I were to tell you what I thought it may have looked like, I would [...]

O’Nizzle and the Rap Kid…

I don’t really know what to say about this video.
I was trying to show off my badass white-girl rapper skills (and failing miserably) when this guy walked by all like “what are you doooooing?”
So, I told him that I was auditioning for a new reality show called “Canada’s Next Rap Superstar” and asked him to [...]

Beyonce ft Lady Gaga – Video Phone [JizzedMyPants&HadASeizure]

While watching this video, my esteemed colleague and brother Charlie Black made the remark “Jay-Z has it all” to which I replied “fuckin’ Jay-Z” not because I actually hate Jay-Z, but because he’s sleeping with my girlfriend hip-hop’s ruling dictator and he has his way with Beyonce on the regular.

The Cutting Edge–>Elctro-Pop: Here to Stay

I hear Elctro-Pop, short for E-pop, is dubbed as such because people used to experiment with MDMA at Depeche Mode concerts in the early 80’s. Seems plausible.

Weekly Indie Music Playist 11/12.11.09. [Megalist]

Jay-Z’s Legendary JLC Performance In London, On. [Gallery]

This concert will go down in the books as one of those “you-had-to-have-been-there-moments” and I definitely co-sign that statement. Anybody at this concert will tell you that from the second the Jigga-Man walked out on stage and commanded the audience with a single word “Bounce!” it was nothing but adrenaline and electricity from that moment [...]
