Alchemist Speaks About Prodigy’s Lyrical Skills & Mobb Deep Reuniting (Video)


I agree with Alchemist in this interview while he was attending SXSW. I never thought Shyne was that sharp of an emcee BEFORE he went into the pen so there’s no way I could see Prodigy’s lyrical skills deteriorating to ‘Shyne-like’ levels.

DJ Green Lantern: Master Class (A Remix-perience) Mixtape


Green Lantern is known for putting together some creative mixtapes over the years. The key ingredients tend to be great song selection, arrangements, & most importantly the original remixes he puts together himself. DJ Green Lantern is a new Atlanta resident & has been on Atlanta’s V-103 on the airwaves. I checked him out on the first few times of his debut  after he mentioned it on twitter.  I didn’t enjoy his debut on Atlanta radio & I’m assuming he was forced to play some of the wack stuff we’re already used to here. I had to turn it off after a few minutes of listening. That’s commercial radio for you though. Good thing Green Lantern still does creative mixtapes because I’d rather ride out to his creative works instead of listening to him play music on commercial radio that most of us don’t normally f*ck with anyway.

ESPN’s Chris Broussard Speaks On Black Culture & The ‘Uncle Tom’ Comments From ‘Fab 5’ Doc (Video)


Chris Broussard broke this down very very well from start to finish. I understand where Jalen Rose & the rest of the Fab 5 were coming from in the documentary but they may not have explained it as eloquently as they should have or the documentary may have edited their thoughts somewhat due to time constraints. Who knows. In case you missed the ‘Fab 5’ documentary, which just so happened to break some ratings records when it aired last Sunday, you can check out the link below…..

Stanza – ‘Coma’ (Directed by W. Feagins)


Stanza is one of Atlanta’s most talented & consistent emcees doing it & he’s not stopping. In this song entitled ‘Coma’, Stanza brings up one of the most important phrases I tend to live by everyday when presented with news from corporate media… ‘Question Everything’. Can’t always take things as face value when its presented to you & Stanza is challenging the listeners to do the same in this joint. Check out this video directed by the equally talented director Will Feagins of High Impact Designs.
