You Sold Out, Homie
XXL —
Yo, I don’t even know. My dudes, I don’t have the slightest clue . I hinted at this in a less carefully penned post , but lately I’ve been revisiting some of hip hop’s classic magazines and one thing that sticks out (aside from the Cross Colors ads) is the sheer dignity that these publications showed in placing garbage in the trash [1] and calling sell outs out. The sell out rapper was loathed, their records banned, burned and banned again. Not anymore in this era of post player hater haters. Please tell the truth. When was the last time you read an XXL review that flatly said “this is ____’s sell out record”? Never happens. Only a ...

Something to think about the next time you're in the mall
ByronCrawford.com —
You know how it is when you're at the mall. Everywhere you look, there's underage pussy.
Even if you don't purposely set out to notice that sort of thing (and obviously I don't, I'm just saying), it's kinda hard not to accidentally see it. You can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting some 15 year-old ass.
Well, here's something to consider next time you're out pretending not to follow around a group of high school-age broads. The other day, a study was released that claims that something like one in four teenage girls has gotten some sort of sexually transmitted disease, including the clap, that HPV shit, ...
The Roots' Fans Are Even More Split Over 'Birthday Girl'
SOULBOUNCE.COM —
Since the lead single "Birthday Girl" for The Roots' tenth album Rising Down premiered on the internet four days ago, their fans have chosen sides. In short, some hate it, and some think it's great that the band has chosen to think outside of the "hip hop box." As one of their fans who was fully prepared to launch Side-Eye 2.0 © after hearing "Birthday Girl" featuring Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, this video now has both of my eyes twitching so hard, I can barely write this post. All I going to say is that the video involves (surprise) a teenager's birthday party, lots of dancing, lots ...
I Want My Music Television vol. XXII
Scooter McGavin's 9th Green —
There have been a couple of videos that have caught my eye lately so I though I’d give them some love since the death of Musical Television left a void for a forum on the art form so here they are courtesy of YouTube. I advise you to watch them before you read my reviews if you don’t want me to spoil things. If you are interested in buying the video through iTunes, click the title link (where available, if not the link goes to YouTube where you can watch the video in full screen). If you are interested in buying the song, look for a link in the analysis. Picture to Burn - Taylor ...
New Roots (Feat. Patrick Stump) Video (Feat. Sasha Grey) - "Birthday Girl"
Stereogum —
New Roots (Feat. Patrick Stump) Video (Feat. Sasha Grey) - "Birthday Girl" thumbnail: New Roots (Feat. Patrick Stump) Video (Feat. Sasha Grey) - "Birthday Girl" Last time we saw the Roots in a video was for intense verse/no chorus Black Thought rant " 75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction) ." To find a visual more in keeping with the Philly crew's video for the Patrick Stump-guesting "Birthday Girl," you have to go back a bit further, past ?uestlove singing a late-night "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" all the way to what we called " 7 Roots 1 Cup ." Well, sorta. "Birthday Girl" features the Vice and Current 93-approved, Smashing ...

The Roots - Rising Down: Album Review
ByronCrawford.com —
The Roots, Rising Down (Def Jam, 2008) The legendary Roots crew hardly need any introduction, especially to people who spend a lot of time on the Internets. Rising Down is the much anticipated follow-up to 2006's commercial (and as far as I'm concerned, artistic) disappointment, Game Theory.
The Roots @ MySpace THE POW WOW
What sounds like the Roots on the phone arguing with their record label. Is this supposed to be some sort of subliminal message to the TIs at Def Jam?
RISING DOWN
Downright gully-sounding. Mos Def (who ...
The Roots to Tour With Estelle, Gym Class Heroes
Pitchfork Media - Today —
What's the world's finest live rap group got in common with a brassy British up-and-comer and a cadre of silly yet sad-sacky emo-rappers ? Well, not a whole hell of a lot...until October, that is.
Yes, the Roots, Estelle, and Gym Class Heroes will join forces for a co-headlining spin around North America this fall. Could it be that we've all been sleeping on Gym Class Heroes, and this is a wakeup call from ?uestlove aimed directly at our brains? Or is this just another step in the Roots' slow crawl towards full-bore emo-dom they set in motion with that ill-advised ...
?uestlove was right, Twitter is the best blog evar
ByronCrawford.com —
I'm not gonna lie. Yesterday, I got a little bit bored, and I ended up checking ?uestlove's Twitter (no homo), and I see he's following Sasha Grey, the pr0n star, who you'll recall was in the inferior Rik Cordero version of the video for the Roots' Birthday Girl.
Because I'm sure at least a few of you are sorry enough to check pr0n sites not just to see pictures of naked women, but to stay abreast of news from the pr0n industry, I'm sure you fruits are also aware that Sasha Grey is fucking big time now. She was recently featured in Rolling Stone's annual Hot issue, just like Bill Hicks once was (right before he died, ...
The Roots:
The Roots' How I Got Over Definitely Pushed Back to 2010
Prefix —
What has been bouncing around as a rumor in recent weeks, that the Roots' upcoming How I Got Over would be pushed back, was confirmed for sure yesterday by ?uestlove on his twitter, tweeting:
“sorry yall. i know its a pain in the ass. but i know you guys want this album RIGHT as opposed to RIGHT NOW!”
Yeah, you're probably right Questo. Just don't have Patrick Stump on any joints and we'll be cool. [via Idolator]
