Owen Good of Kotaku.com just wrote an article on minority gamers and the experience they have with gaming. Gary, Fergus and me AB were quoted throughout the whole piece. If you happened to be one of those readers from Kotaku and you disagree with something we may have said. Lets have an adult conversation about it right here. But for those who have...

In the 1960's, the world was experiencing Beatlemania. The four member band from Liverpool, The Beatles, went on to become one of the most iconic and successful bands in music history.

I had the good pleasure on Friday to speak to Quincy Jones III also known to the hiphop and multimedia world as QD3. Mostly famous for his dvd's and video productions, but Quincy got his start on the music side which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. With the endless knowledge of the media and music industry he helped shape the Scratch Ultimate DJ...

So our good friend Andre Tipton wanted to come on the show to debate with some of Haipa Sonikku's previous statements, so of course we let him be on the panel this week. This is a very special jam packed episode, it would be foolish to miss a minute of it. A lot of facts got passed around in this one. On this weeks show we discuss the new sonic...

Before Jay-Z vividly painted Mafioso murals on Reasonable Doubt, before The Notorious B.I.G. rose to prominence as a kingpin on Life After Death, the Chef from Staten Island cooked up some his hardest white.... the gritty cinematic masterpiece, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Similar to Nas, few hip hop heads will say that Raekwon has ever topped the impo...

More goodies from the Dj Hero/Jay Z event. I want to play a game. Remember the "Wheres Waldo" book series? Well, lets play "Wheres HiphopGamer?" See if you can spot him among these pictures below. Activision had backstage looking like a mini E3. Major props to Steve Gebhardt of COED Magazine for sending these over. He wrote a great review of the co...

We're back again with our random banter. Me and H-town we're having an interesting discussion about the NPD numbers, so we figured it was time to hit that record button (After Kaps Kid Cudi fest, and yes I pronounced his name wrong, so what?). We also discuss District 9, 50's new single and the kid Kid CUDI album. Enjoy ...

Well don't worry, The Koalition is here to recommend a selection of stress relieving video games for those times when the stress gets too much to handle.

Ask a typical gamer to name the 3 handhelds that’s currently on the market and chances are they'll say the DS and PSP before going awkwardly silent then looking at you like you're a fool. To be fair its not its not entirely their fault, Apple themselves have done a terrible job at promoting the iPod Touch as a games platform. Now I know what you'...

So here we are with episode 203, and shout outs to our special guest this week, none other than IxxIconxxI who is just a cool ass gamer. This week we discuss the recent Playstation Fi...

It must be hard being Shawn Corey Carter. A beautiful wife in singer/actress Beyonce. Millions of dollars sitting in various bank accounts. His own brand new label in Roc Nation, which was achieved through a multi-million dollar deal with Live Nation. What else does he have left to prove? Even after the release of the maligned Kingdom Come and the ...

My reaction to Sony's 3.0 Firmware update for the ps3, in my opinion there were two impressive things about the whole update. But watch the video to see what I think about the rest of it. Also I let on about why we may not see the cross game voice chat anytime soon....

The beginning of September is about to jump off and with that we can expect another month of sub par video game releases until the holiday season kicks off. I may be wrong, but you should know by now that I am quick to flop something that does not justify its value. Let's see what games sha...
