Apple Store Kid Boom Boom Pows His Way to Internet Fame
I know you hate “Boom Boom Pow” with every fiber in your body, but you still have to admire this kid’s courage. It takes balls the size of Jupiter to pull this off in public at such a young age. I was going to say he deserves a free copy of the new Black Eyed Peas’ album for this but that would be a mean thing to do. Give him a Mac instead.
Bun B + Royce da 5′9″ + DJ Premier = Hood Love
Now this is what you call a dream session. Taken from Southern Smoke TV 4 mixtape.
Jackie Chain - Diamonds & Chains Video
Anyone who has the nerve to conceive this idea and actually go through with it must be dragging balls of steel. Sadly, the beat is kinda catchy.
Well, That’ll Definitely Get You Fired
In today’s episode of You Can’t Make This Up, two police officers in Taft, Texas are about to trade in their badges for termination papers after participating in the creation of a hip-hop video.
Says Allhiphop:
The video for the song “Swangn,” by Stubo, featuring True Enough Of Salty Water Records has caused outrage in Taft, a town of about 3,500. The video was shot in downtown Taft in June, with the permission of City Manager Flo Sauceda.
The song has local police officers in the area up in arms, as the track contains numerous explicative’s and makes references to smoking marijuana and dealing cocaine.
The two cops now face termination for their roles in the video, but I would’ve been happier to learn that they’re facing termination because of how wack the song is.
Jay Rock - Mandatory (feat. K.Dot & Ab-Soul)
Jay Rock hearkens to the era when rappers rhymed just to rhyme. There’s nothing wrong with that approach but braggadocio can only carry you so far in hip-hop. Just ask Canibus.
Jay Smooth Weighs in on Joe Budden vs. Raekwon
Don’t make Jay go all Claire McCaskill on you. Just act right.

I say with a certain degree of positivity that if most bloggers came up during this time, they wouldn’t be speaking to you in the written form. They’d be like this little fella here, skip the keyboard & just talk into a webcam. ( Want more? )

Jay Rock Play This On The Radio (Day 9)
Okay I would like to start by saying that I just watched Crips and Bloods Made In America, although it was mad boring it gave me introspective to the Los Angeles gang lifestyle. So while I am in my west coast zone I figured I would hit you with this new Jay Rock track. I actually was at his listening party at Quad Studios and was really impressed by what I heard. this song is day 9 off the 30 songs in 30 days mixtape.
