Protect The CoSign

In our post 2010 society, plenty of artists have managed prolong their 15 minutes of fame with a co-sign. Em did it with D-12, Jay did it with Bleek, and Wiz is doing it with Chevy Woods...The mission of PNC and all those affiliated is to Protect The CoSign.

Hosted by Bodega Radio On-Air personality, The Company Man, Kid Potential, and Combat Jack.

This is definitely going to be an event that you don't want to miss, especially with a Hennessy open bar from 7 to 8.

Idle Warship with The Company Man

Gasoline Dream hasn't been puttin' ya'll on to events as of late due to the lack of hotness in the area, however, that is all about to change very very soon.

While many of you who follow these high profile Hip-Hop websites may know of the homie, The Company Man, for his official journalism skills, he's also been steppin his game up as a host for a more than his fair share of dope events. This next one will not be any different and it's in collaboration with our peoples over at Forever Fresh and Brooklyn Bodega. Squad UP

Forever YOUNG

I'm still watching this interview courtesy of Red Bull and Chairman Mao with Young Guru and dude is dropping GEMS. I highly recommend.

Memory Lane

Feeling sentimental. Literally my earliest memory of Hip-Hop. When MTV was Mtv.

Julius Myth Interview

DOM KENNEDY

Ok...so haven't been here like that, but it's time to lay out what's been lying in the vault.

"CDC" - DOM KENNEDY (Feat. Casey Veggies & Carter)

You Can't Stop The Reign - Shaq ft The Notorious B.I.G. Extreamly Rare B...

My fellow Pisces Shaq and the late great B.I.G. on a smooth ass track. Shaq is nice son.

L Gets to Boogie Offstage

Paid her dues...still funny how things come full circle though.

All Black Everything - Lupe Fiasco

"You would never know / If you could ever be / If you never try / you would never see...Stayed in Africa / We ain't never leave / So there weren't no slaves in our history / Weren't no slave ships / were no misery / Call me crazy / or isn't he / See I fell asleep and I had a dream


It was All Black...Everything..."

Distant Relatives Coverage

Here's some pretty dope documentation of the NaS and Damian Marley album, "Distant Relatives". While recording, Jr Gong went off! Definitely check this out.

Shook Ones - Diggy Simmons

I keep hearing all of this stuff, and have decided that Diggy does in fact have what it takes. He's an emcee and has punchlines that aren't punchlines. If you're not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to understanding lyrics, definitely give this a couple of listens. Very very impressive showing, and co-sign.

Jay-Z on the BBC

Here's a an interesting and informative interview with Jay-Z courtesy of the UK's own, DJ Semtex.

A Letter from Russell to Kanye

Recently, Hip-Hop Mogul wrote a very heartfelt message to Kanye. Pretty dope. It's nice to see people uniting behind the man. Read the rest here

The passion you put into your new album is why I stayed up all those nights in the early 80's trying to get DJs and radio stations to play our records. I knew this day would come. Actually, maybe I didn't know, but I really, really hoped it would. I didn't work this hard when I was your age to watch the culture go the wrong way. And you, my friend, just took us to another level. I am simply in awe.

Jayceeoh's Super 7 Vol. 4

So, when Jayceeoh feels like it, he gets 7 really good DJs and has them put together a craazy mix of everything that everybody in the whole entire world listens to. Well...Below is the 4th version of that. Enjoy.

MC Hammer is just....Out of Touch.

So...MC Hammer tried to touch Jay-Z with his own diss track...except it's funny cuz he was destroyed before he even responded by that one bar. Anyways, I find it pretty insulting that a man would use religion for publicity. If he was really that passionate about exposing Jay's "partnership" with satan then why is it only being put out after "So Appalled"?? Regardless, this video is still pretty comedic. This is where MMA, Religion, Hip-Hop, and @$$holes meet. Hahaha enjoy.

Frank Dukes & Ghost via Red Bull

It's crazy how you can take a product, and get it big enough to create your own side projects involving whatever you please. Speaking of which, the Red Bull Big Tune event allowed its recent champion, Frank Dukes, to choose which A-List Emcee with whom he wanted to produce a track. He chose Ghostface, and any Hip-Hop head can't be mad at the man for that one. Check out the video below.

Premo and J. Cole and Drake...WORD

DJ Premier may be from what young hip-hop listeners would now consider the “old school,” but he wouldn’t remain one of the most revered producers more than twenty years into his career if he didn’t know how to adapt to the culture’s evolving landscape. Preem’s revered ear is for more than samples; he’s got an ear for the new generation’s rising talent, as well. In a recent interview with the legendary hip-hop architect he revealed to XXLMag.com that he hopes to work with rising stars J. Cole and Drake.

Runaway (Full Length Video)

Taking Hip-Hop into unknown territory with this one. Furthermore, the soundtrack is bananas.

Cee-Lo Green - Old Fashioned

New soul joint by Cee-Loo. The Lady Killa is set to be one of the hottest albums of the year. Found at PinBoardBlog.com

Ye obsessed with White People?

I was put on to this article a little earlier today. Don't really know what to make of it, but nonetheless it's a decent conversation piece. Read the rest of the article here at the BVX.

Still, Ye never relinquished the role of the quasi-nerd who never gets the prom queen because she only dates jocks. He's since become a jock, but he no longer seeks merely to win the prom queen, but rather to run the whole prom court . In doing so, he's become infatuated with the old (exclusively white) boys club, which runs the courts of hubris, pomp, privilege and capital -- social and financial capital and arguably more of the former.

His apology to Taylor Swift signified a certain racial deference, given that there was no Tweeted "sorry" also to Janet Jackson, the person who was supposed to be the center of attention at that year's VMAs for her moving tribute to her deceased King of Pop brother -- all of which was overshadowed by West's antics.
