Lil Wayne announced today that he'd be taking an indefinite hiatus from rapping to dedicate himself to a pursuit that will (hopefully) give him much less overexposure: skateboarding. Oh yeah, and that thing with the Mars landing happened, too.
Comedy rappers Emmanuel and Phillip Hudson do a spot-on impression of a squabbling couple.
All rock fans have now are the Black Keys. And the countless other rock bands that are overlooked by the Top 40 but still produce great music, of course.
I'm a little disappointed to discover that Lil Wayne was not, as a child, what the cover to Tha Carter III suggested he was.
Biggie mashed up with the theme from Thomas the Tank Engine. Shining Time Station will never be the same.
Vinyl junkies and nerdy hip-hop heads are no doubt salivating at this awesome R2D2-styled turntable. It looks like a heavily modded Technics 1200, so it's not too out of the question to find one on Craigslist to build a C3PO counterpart.
Beastie Boys MC Adam Yauch, a.k.a. MCA, has died. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2009 and had been undergoing treatment.
In addition to his work in the seminal, influential, absurdly successful, and undeniably excellent hip-hop group, he also ran his own film production company and co-founded a fund to support Tibetan independence. The Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month.
Of course, this is just the opinion of a conscious rap fan.
...you DID see the poster on the wall behind him, right?
By the looks of it, GZA is the only member GZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard are the only members of the Wu-Tang clan that isn't aren't originally from Long Island Staten Island. HOW CAME HE THEY TO SHAOLIN?
(the hard of seeing may view a larger version.)
Edit: Please excuse the errors. We're very white.
