Indie Music is a helluva grind, so every now and then I’ll do my best to bring you an artist that might be on the cusp of bigger things. The video is tight and was made for ZERO dollars. In the indie scene a talented team goes a long way. Big City Phil, once had a deal on the horizon with Beans… yea that Beans, until Beanie got sent away last time. Since then he’s been grinding out the mixtape scene and doing showcases. And this video serves as his latest offering.

Yea I’m Late… So sue me.

I will attempt to share a well thought out perspective on aspects of the mega blockbuster film The Dark Knight. While this write up wont serve as a true to form review of the film (I’m sure you can find that easily enough), it may help define this films place in the storied Batman franchise history. (more…)

This post could have also been titled ‘Kumbyah my blog… Kumbyah’… lets examine what blogging in a collective has taught me shall we? (more…)

Yea I’m back in this bitch heralded by the beating of a thousand wings and trumpets. It’s currently 5:35am and before knocking out I wanted to pen something since I been here and there.

I’ve been neglecting The Stoop and as such, like in real life when a stoop is neglected it gets full of trash (spam) and smells sort of like a project elevator. I’m cleaning house as of now.

A long weekend and heatwave will give a muthafucka some time to think (in front of the AC) and in the interest of keeping one of the current trends in the music formerly known as Hip Hop alive, ex. Swagger Jacking. I’d like to present to you the “What The (blank) Has Taught Me Series”.  I see you Phuque… on the back of a milk carton. Today I will observe what the Music Industry has taught me… (more…)

This is some fresh Left Coast shit (werd to Ifux) by way of TI$A, the former front man of underground group Sa-Ra, my boy linked me yesterday. For a better Quality video click here.

This election, whether you subscribe to the new hope or not, has certainly been a breeding ground for political sentiment.

I let this shit rock 5 times back to back.. it’s an auditory delight.

“Many a truth are said in jest” - Dead Wordsmith

In this era of rapid consumption news stories where the truth seems to have been eviscerated from the body of reality, leaving behind a lifeless husk animated by special interest groups, where can we turn for a pulse on what may or may not be bull shit?

Fox news has proven itself time and time again to be both unfair and unbalanced.

CNN, The BBC and any other major media news source all cater to one group or another, and Da Internetz is full of gems, both diamond and cubic zirconium, depending upon your point of view.. So where can we go for a dose of unabashed truth?
