The Grammys Need A Toast To The Scumbag
Tomorrow is Grammy time again. It’s that magical (read: “baffling”) time when, like Jersey Shore the ignorant and undeserving frequently thrive while anything that challenges your sensibilities and may make you think for a moment gets cast aside, like Arrested Development. The internet is once again flooded with predictions and commentary regarding this year’s massive,...
CD Report Card: Gangrene – “Vodka & Ayahuaska”
The Alchemist and Oh No have returned to the studio as Gangrene and follow up their previous efforts with Vodka and Ayahuaska. If you’re not familiar with The Alchemist, I’m not entirely sure how you missed his work with Terror Squad, Pharoahe Monch, Dilated Peoples, Soul Assassins, La Coka Nostra, Slaughterhouse, Raekwon, Eminem, and tons...
Heavy Rotation: M.I.A. – “Bad Girls”
M.I.A. is back with a video for her newest single “Bad Girls.” The British/Sri Lankan singer heads to Morocco for the video and gets her James Dean on, letting director Romain Gavris (who also directed the controversial “Born Free”) illustrate one of the many ways that she can “Live fast, die young/bad girls do it...
Rhyme Horizon: Odd Future @ The Fox
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA) is gracing Colorado yet again on March 11th at The Fox. The last time they were here, there were more bloodied up people (enjoying themselves) than most hip-hop shows I’ve been to. It was so much more of a punk environment with most of the lyrics easily...
Backspin: Winter on the Rocks’ Historic Debut
An outdoor winter concert may sound crazy and risky, but Coloradans have always been down to brave the cold for a good time. And 9,500 people can’t be wrong: this was a good ass time.
Rhyme Horizon: Brother Ali @ The Ogden
Brother Ali’s album, Us, is one of the best hip hop albums ever. Before you even read on, go buy it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you do not enjoy Us you don’t have a heart. Brother Ali is coming to the Ogden on January 26th with Get Cryphy (who...
Goin’ to Coachella?
Then you’re awesome. Some of you are probably excited to see a certain band, or a handful of them. Maybe you don’t know that many. Well, that’s the beauty of Coachella: there’s something for everyone, no matter what kind of feeling you’re going for. If you find yourself stumbling around Coachella, not knowing where to...
Local Flow: Time – “5th Horseman”
If you haven’t heard of Time, check out the album Anti-Smiles which features Time and producer AwareNess as Calm. He also has several mixtapes free to download. The MC recently worked with Common on the song “Pop’s Belief” (from The Dreamer/The Believer) as a vocal engineer. He has since recruited Common’s father Lonnie “Pops” Lynn...
MpFree: Jay-Z feat. Blue Ivy Carter – “Glory”
As everyone knows, (and if you don’t, let me break the news to you), Jay-Z and Beyoncé had their child, Blue Ivy Carter, over the weekend. If you need to know all the celebrity news, it happened on Saturday, the 7th. She was a “healthy 7 lbs”. Regardless of the complaints coming in from other...
Rhyme Horizon: People Under The Stairs @ The Fox
People Under The Stairs are set to perform with Denver’s own Prime Element on January 25th at The Fox in Boulder. The duo has a soft heart for the coastal boom-bap hip hop of A Tribe Called Quest and Jurassic 5. This love shows with the laid back Prince Paul-influenced, crate-digger beats surrounding the wit...
Rhyme Horizon: Jedi Mind Tricks @ The Fox
Jedi Mind Tricks are coming to The Fox in Boulder on January 21st. In fifteen years much has changed with Jedi Mind Tricks, but with the release of Violence Begets Violence it’s obvious that the vitriol is still there. While The Psycho-Social and Violence Begets Violence hint at being the same group, the increasingly gritty, raw,...
