10. For his first single, Cam’ron Giles chose to introduce himself to the world by informing it that there was a reasonable possibility that they “might see [him] in designer underwear, in a reclining leather chair.” A disturbing image that does nothing to reconcile this video of Cam in blue polka dot boxers purchased from […]

10. At first, the Metropolis-like dystopia of urban ruins and decay conjures a less than dazzling vision of the future.

10. I sincerely hope that word doesn’t get out that “the people” who came around looking for me, were really just Mormon missionaries. 9. Speaking of possible rumors to pro-actively quell.

Markie appears to have had a Homer Simpsonian sense of delusion. Had he looked at himself in the mirror? The guy was 30 lbs. overweight, rapped like Corky from Life Goes On and appeared to have a poor orthodontist. Granted, he was a fantastic DJ and beat-boxer but just check the company he was rolling […]
| 10 Reasons Why The Wu-Tang Clan’s “The Heart Gently Weeps” Video Might Be Their Worst Ever | April 18, 2008 |

10. The ability to acquire flaming pennies (these were also reportedly Shaquille O’ Neal’s last words upon leaving Orlando). Such magic coins will give their owners the ability to turn homeless people into suave and dapper, ladies men and thus realize their dreams of using P.I.M.P.O.L.O.G.Y. to logically, learn these tricks biology. Obviously. 9. When […]
If there are any aspiring young rappers out there reading this, now is the time to rejoice. With his second album, Trilla, Rick Ross has proven that all you need to do to have a viable rap career is the foresight to rhyme “Ross” with “Boss.” For those keeping score, that’s two albums on Def […]
