Sorry for rambling in advance. I recently stumbled upon a piece by Baltimore-based writer Action Bastard about one of the greatest games of all-time (to me, anyway). I wish I was saying that hyperbolically because the term “GOAT” gets thrown out like candy to the point it doesn’t mean shit anymore. But, AB wrote about […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @PublicEnemyFTP – Nothing Is Quick In The Desert
A little while after my brothers and sisters over at DefineaRevolution.com talked about PE, we get a new PE album. And let me tell you…it’s pretty damn solid in its approach. It doesn’t stick just to traditional modern rap tropes (thankfully) and attempts to throw the baby out with the bathwater and create some sort […]
Read moreNew (To Me) SOTBMusic: @AfroWasiu – 44 Four’s
I like that Wasiu made a take on Jay-Z’s 22 Two’s and 44 Four’s. Lyrically, the Montreal native gave bar after bar over a laid-back instrumental provided by Jamvvis. While it’s not Jay’s version, this one is definitely no slouch and lets those unfamiliar with Wasiu to get introduced. Plus, for real? Not everyone and […]

H/T to GamingIlluminaughty for showing me this one, since I haven’t been as up on Tekken craziness as I probably should be. Blame getting back into FFXV and (finally) checking out–and being somewhat disappointed with–Mafia III for taking up my time. Anyway, enough of me. Check out this insane Counter Strike: Global Offensive mod that enables you to fight in […]

Chalk this one under “I expected it, but it still surprised me.” Photo Credit: AP Point guard Chris Paul was, today, traded to the Houston Rockets for Sam Dekker, Patrick Beverley, and Lou Williams. I’m surprised that Houston didn’t throw a draft pick in there for good measure. This is one of those sums-of-all-the-parts trades […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @Jay_Wyse – Back 2 The Basics (Feat. YG Teck and FMG Dez)
Over a beat that sounds straight out of early-to-mid-2000s Roc-A-Fella, Baltimore artists Jay Wyse, YG Teck, and FMG Dez go “Back 2 The Basics.” The posse cut goes in deep, especially because of the instrumental. Additionally, the track talks on that “real”–without glamorizing it–that’s often missed in a good portion of rap these days. As […]
