Happy Anniversary, D’Angelo’s Voodoo

Damn, today marks 10 years since D’Angelo last put out an album. 10 years! This guy is the male equivalent of Lauryn Hill. A musical genius who couldn’t handle fame who the general public still has their fingers crossed will one day come back and return to the top of the charts. Highly doubtful. You want D’s new shit? Buy his old album. Ha. Urban Daily Update: D and The Roots cover a Gang Starr classic.

Hip-Hop On NFL Playoffs Vol. 6

What a wild and crazy game. An exciting contest that was at times as sloppy as Oscar Madison’s bedroom, it was a gang of fumbles and a key interception by Brett Favre which cost the Vikings in the end. In a postseason where kickers kept choking, N.O.’s Garret Hartley knocked a 40-yard field goal in OT. The final score: Saints 31. Vikes 28. The Superbowl in Miami will feature the two truly best teams in each conference. Indy vs. Nawlins. […]

Hip-Hop On NFL Playoffs Vol. 5

Hey it’s Championship Game Sunday so it’s only right both games get their own posts. Sadly for us Empire Staters, that after a great start, The Jets succumbed to the simply better Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning’s crew 30. Joe Willie Namath’s old sqaud 17. No upset here.
