Hip-Hop | Action Bronson – Easy Rider
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 5, 2014
Hip-hop is so wack to me now. The only artist I’ll listen to, that I can honestly say I get excited about, is Action Bronson. He’s incredible live. This Party Supplies produced song is a work of art. Action Bronson is the hero the rap world needs. “Mr. Wonderful” coming soon via Vice / Warner. Put the fuggin’ rap song on man. Shout out to Big Body Bes coming through with the Fubu fruit cup.

FYI, Home | Watch Action Bronson Fight a Security Guard on Stage After Lighting a Joint
Posted by FilthyTaft on February 5, 2014
It’s pretty clear what went down here – Action Bronson wanted to smoke a J because he’s a traveling hip hop artist, while he clearly he wasn’t allowed to. The security guard decided it’d be cool to be a huge d*** about it in front of the entire crowd, but Bronson wasn’t going to take that humiliation, and he shoves the guard off of him pretty hard, charges him again, and shoves him way off of him. If the rapper on stage was someone the size of Childish Gambino, the security guard’s stunt probably would have worked, but when you go up against the gigantic bearded beast Action Bronson himself, this is what happens. Shoulda seen it coming, bud – big ups to Action Bronson for putting up a show for his fans and fighting for legalization. Lastly, thanks to the random fan who instagrammed this video.
Hip-Hop | Joey Bada$$ – Day In The Life (Prod. Harry Fraud)
Posted by Mach on April 4, 2013
This was a long overdue collaboration between mic killer Joey Bada$$ and the incredible, Harry Fraud. Joey Bada$$ will be featured in XXL Magazine’s 2013 Freshman Class, along side of Schoolboy Q, Trinidad Jame$, Ab-Soul, Logic, Action Bronson, Kirko Bangz, Travi$ Scott, Dizzy Wright, Angel Haze, and lastly Chief Keef, the “11th Freshman”. I think he is more than deserving of making the list. Just the other day someone I introduced his music to told me his rap style reminded her of MF DOOM. Remembering how right she was, I listened closely to this track and I swear I can hear a bit of MF DOOM in Joey Bada$$. “Day In The Life” is a great track, a collaboration that should happen more often.
Albums | Jared Evan x Statik Selektah – Boom Bap & Blues [Album]
Posted by Grubeats on March 6, 2013
Although the prominent age of Boom Bap is now overshadowed by electro beats and radio ready production, the subgenre is far from dead. Statik Selektah is by no means a “Boom Bap” producer, but his versatility sheds light on the masked style. Jared Evan sings from his soul. He raps from his soul. That’s his style. Collectively, the duo have collaborated on their joint LP, Boom Bap & Blues. Together they have resonated a combination of genre’s that mainstream music is missing.
There’s no question the features will catch your eye (Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, Lil Fame, Termanology…), but Jared’s versatility alone is worthy of repeated play. Props to you Mr. Evan and Mr. Selektah, this is one hell of a project.

Kendrick is on cruise control right now. Collecting 241,000 in week 1 album sales, he takes four minutes to reflect on GKMC and share some kind words for his peanut gallery. In case you missed Shyne lash out against K. Dot on Twitter last week, I’ll sum it up for you.
Shyne tweets: “u caught up in the hype. That album is aight! Lyrics kool, beats trash! I mean trash!” “Kendric Lamar has enormous potential! Gkmc is trash! Still!”
TDE label mate, ScHoolboy Q chimes in tweeting: “We all know @OriginalSHyne AIN’T EATIN!!!!! N*ggaH ain’t Had a Hot verse since 01″
Shyne responds by tweeting: “F%%# that tight jeans wear slut@kendricklamar emotional”
K.Dot speaks during interview: “It’s really no response [to him]. I’m not a sensitive guy, so that’s his opinion. Can’t stop what the world thinks, so yeah, that’s him.” K.Dot raps: “I pray to God this beat is good enough for Shyne, If not J. Cole your shit is trash, But at least my opinion just made everyone laugh”
