Comprised of MC Geologic AKA Geo and DJ Sabzi AKA Sabzilla, Blue Scholars is a hip-hop collective from Seattle. Honing their skills [...]

The City is Mine
Old school Jay-Z and Blackstreet, a promo video that didn’t get much airplay back when the song came out back in 1998. I’m posting this more for the song than the video, as it is one of my favorite Jay-Z songs of all time.
and as always, with a lot of the hip-hop vids that I [...]

Diddy’s Message to Kanye
Diddy loves hip hop again. (from Kanye’s blog)
But my question is, he talks about “bull**** records that ain’t really sayin ****” but he put out Yung Joc! Probably the least relevant rapper, with the exception of Soulja Boy, of the last 2 or 3 years. It’s nice to know Diddy is [...]

Pruane’s 50th!
My favorite YouTube celebrity, Pruane2Forever, recently just posted his 50th video. This was quite the task especially when considering he is like a 13 year old Canadian boy. If you’ve never seen or heard of Pruane before this is an excellent primer, but beware: contains mildly COARSE LANGUAGE.

Update: The Green Hill
I posted a few days ago about my friend Kellen Peterson and his new clothing line called Green Hill Designs. I talked to Kellen today (it’s his birthday by the way) and asked if I could post his designs here and he gave me the go ahead.
From the Green Hill website:
“The Green Hill is [...]

Talib Kweli
I figured that I post way too much on Seattle hip hop so I thought I’d broaden my horizons a bit and talk about another one of my favorite artists who will be doing an all ages show at the Showbox with Common Market benefitting Noise for the Needy in June.
Talib Kweli (born Talib [...]

Classic Material: Gang Starr “Full Clip”
Guru and DJ Premier comprise the legendary, but extremely underrated and under-appreciated, hip-hop duo, Gang Starr. Despite their name, Gang Starr’s music was intelligent and conscious. Guru in my opinion is one of the 10 greatest MC’s of all time while his DJ, Preemo (as he is often called) has been one of the most [...]

Nationwide Blue Scholars Tour
I know I post tons on these guys but this I couldn’t pass up. I’m a bit late on it, but they just recently announced a nationwide tour with Hieroglyphics. The Scholars have really hit the big time since I first started to get into them in 2005. This is huge for them because these [...]
