Who doesn't like Joell Ortiz? And Immortal Technique? Remember what I said to the crumbs that didn't like Freeway. Follow suit. Yeah, it's that real. If you've slept on anything that Joell has spit on, you should go play in traffic on 610 right now. Blindfolded.

About:
Last week I was contacted to make a video for a new Kanye West produced Jay-Z song for RED & the Global Fund to Fight AIDS in Africa. It launched today (World AIDS Day) at red.msn.com. And while I'm happy to be able to help the cause I'm also more than a little bit excited about getting a chance to make something for the likes of Jay-Z and Kanye. I've been turning down client requests to use Typographic Illustration for 5 years in hopes that one day the phone wo... MORE

Yesterday MMN's Pigeons And Planes posted the new M.I.A. video for the "retired" star's new track "Shells." But what P&P failed to mention was that the preggo M.I.A. is not in the video since she is about 6 months along with her little bundle of joy and is well, still technically retired -- despite that Brooklyn appearance and the EP How Many Votes Fix Mix, which features "Shells", she released in October. The "Shells" video, apart from the dog-on-dog action, is a w... MORE

ScholarMan :: The Answer II
Soganic Music
Reviewed by Jason Parham
Get comfortable, because rapper/ producer ScholarMan is about to drop some knowledge on you so-called hip-hop heads. Maryland has never really been known for its hip-hop scene either (aside from the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area’s affinity for go-go music and Wale), but all that could change with the introduction of ScholarMan to the masses. His new album, Gameshift: The Movement is set to drop January 2009 ... MORE
Holy shizznit, M.I.A. is havin a baby! I'd heard the rumours months ago, but forgot all about it coz I thought they were just rumours. But, apparently she's talkin about it now. Can you imagine how incredibly sweet it would be to have Maya as yer mum? A homegrown revolutionary with a uber-famous goddess for a mum?! I'm almost jealous! Anyway, I found out from AtariCoolKids who seems to have heard it from Spin Magazine. (there's so much killer content in MMN, I'm ser... MORE

I won’t lie, I have some sort of guilty love for mister Chris Brown. He’s sort of like the boy-version of Rihanna (I think he even wrote "Disturbia"). Figures that they’d be boning. Anyway, "Forever" is undoubtedly my favorite Chris Brown song ever and I probably downloaded this remix in record time, when I saw [...]

M.I.A. is pregnant. And not just with revolutionary ideas for her next record. The British-Sri Lankan vocalist/visual artist/producer/record-label founder/clothing designer, born Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, is due to give birth in February, and despite what you may have read online, it's not Kanye's baby.
(Daddy is indie-rock guitarist Benjamin Brewer, son of Warner Music CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr.) As for the sex of the child? She's pretty sure she knows, because, well... MORE
