I love how I can just stumble onto some new tunes. As much as I get hit with music from random angles, there is something amazing about finding it on my own. Nowadays, I’m finding new talent by surfing the web at the wee hours of the morning rather than ram-sacking dusty record shops, or […]
Well look a’ here. I wanted to write about one of my favorite new artists Gilbere Forte and I wanted to write about my time in San Fran this past weekend visiting the Black Scale clothing line shop. Lo and behold the two innovators of style collabo’d on a in-store performance that couldn’t make my […]
Here at Global Grind we honor the lives of those youths that are killed by street violence on a consistent basis. The fact that we can have anywhere from a few a week to tens a month is frightening. Yet when I read them, I have to admit I’ve become numb to the pain and […]
While today’s theme for my music meeting was tougher to get going than usual, I turned to a picture that sparked this post. The shot that you are viewing was a classic moment for even all those involved. It took place in late August of 2009 in Harlem. The place was Black Star Video on […]
Hey All. I’m a big lover of Mother’s Day. Every few years I’d have to share it with my birthday and my Mom would be chillin’ on my bday! Growing up I didn’t have money to really get her much other than a card, so I would try my hand at breakfast, making scrambled […]
INFAMOUS O’S MIXTAPE MASSACRE REVIEW Don Cannon & Young Jeezy: Trap or Die II The next time you go pick up your “prescription” from your neighborhood “pharmacist,” ask him/her who their favorite rappers are and there’s a pretty good chance they’ll mention Young Jeezy somewhere in their list. Not because he’s the most creative […]
INFAMOUS O’s MIXTAPE MASSACRE REVIEW DJ Green Lantern & DJ Drama present Jadakiss: The Champ Is Here 3 Ever since he spit, “Hearing you out is senseless/perhaps for instance I give this faggot a French Kiss,” on Big’s “Last Days,” J-To-The-Muah has been recognized as one of the nastiest rappers in the game. For the […]
With the newly reunited founders of Dipset coming together for the first time since forever, at a basketball tourny in ATL this past weekend, it really got me wondering what’s in a relationship based in business, but that covers the personal ground as well? To most that cared, Dipset breaking up was like witnessing a […]
This Sunday, May 2nd MTV Jams will feature all the videos from the city of brotherly love’s most influential artists. You can bet that all the usual suspects from The Roots, Three Times Dope, Steady B., Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and the whole State Property will be on deck. (Via Press Release info) […]
Jay Electronica just shook the game again. Dropping heated lines over Quincy Tones’ (who?) harder than Kat Stacks’ nipples beat for “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace”, Jay adopts Big’s slow flow that’s remarkable. Diddy makes an adlib feature doing what he does best, pop shit. Puff, who sounds like he’s puffin’ on the treadmill while […]
**Datwon’s Note: This mixtape review is by Infamous O. He’s been reviewing mixtapes before you were born, well maybe not that long, but he’s dope at it. So respect his gangsta. Read on.** **Get Game’s The Red Room here at DatPiff.com** Hate him or love him, you have to give Jayceon Taylor his […]
I get teased by the younger heads in the office, cus I listen to some ole underground boom bap shit they know nothing about. I’m proud of that. I’m proud that I grew up in an era where MCs really said something of importance in their rhymes. Guru, of all MCs, was nothing but substance. […]
