The other night I was going through my game collection looking for stuff to sell for ramen noodles and shrimp, when I happened to notice my PSP sitting in the corner wrapped in a plastic bag. I started to reminisce on all the good times that I have had with it and realized that I rarely even played the thing since owning it. Besides the occasional ...

Just as African Americans came to accept and respect Eminem, Asher Roth has to let his mic skills speak for themselves and what better way to...

Deeper Than Rap definitely begins on a high note with the probing "Mafia Music", acting as a great introduction while Ro$$ throws barbs at 50 Cent ("Curtis Jackson baby mama, I ain't asking for a cent / Burn the house down, gotta buy another / Don't forget the gas can, jealous stupid motherfucker"). Next up is "Maybach Music (Part II)", the sequel...

Jadakiss is one of the few emcees that reps New York, the Mecca of Hip Hop, to the fullest. Boasting that he's "top 5, dead or alive, and that's just off one LP", Jadakiss has released two great albums, but has yet to deliver that undeniable classic record. After finalizing a deal that saw him signing with Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records, Kiss went i...

In 1974 the greatest sequel in film history was released. That film was of course The Godfather 2. EA hopes to have the same success with their own video game sequel with The Godfather 2. The Godfather 2 has upgraded features, new features, and the new "Dons View" system. With all of the new additions in the game The Godfather 2 is already looking ...

Last year industry veteran David Perry composed a list of 29 video game business models. I went over the list and even recognized a few familiar monetization methods. I know the list is old but some of the methods he listed are just coming to the forefront of the gaming industry, so he was definitely future proof. What I did was name the top 5 ones...

I recently sat down with Cubbiebear. A very talented artist hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. He isn't afraid of side stepping from what is normal in hip-hop and adding his own flavor to create some of the dopest and most realistic music I've heard in a very long time. He's been praised by Sage Francis and is definately making a name for himself in...

Welcome to Part 2 of my attempt to argue that Lupe Fiasco is the greatest emcee that we've seen thus far. There have been a few arguments against Lupe Fiasco that I hope to evaluate here: 01.) He has recorded and released only two studio albums. The Notorious B.I.G. had released only two albums before his tragic death and is still viewed to this...
