Sex 101 With Your Favorite Rapper

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Rappers Explaining Sex: The Only Thing Worse Than Abstinence-Only Education - I spotted this at The Huffington Post yesterday. What you'll find there is equal parts disgusting, clever, and absurd. If I had to pick the best of the absurd, Afroman wins.

P. Diddy Wears Prada

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
I've always said Puffy Combs was the devil (Puffy Combs: that sounds like a hair care product for chicks with bad perms). I've noticed lately that many people share my sentiment, verbatim.   It's got to be more than coincidence that two of his flagship artists left his camp only to become religious zealots, one is dead, others have never been seen on the face of the Earth again (Craig Mack is not the type of man you'd walk past without… Read More

Lil Wayne > Jay-Z?

Every blue (or pink) moon, a woman attempts to throw her panty hose into the ring to no avail, unless you're a scantily clad Read More

Proper Song of The Day: Chief Rocka

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Not Barack (speaking of which, where you at Chief?), but I do think it would be great if Obama showed up to a town hall meeting with this Lords of the Underground classic blaring in the background.   Read More

Proper Song of the Day: The Name’s Bootsy Baby!

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
Practically everything about Bootsy Collins and the Rubber Band's 1976 performance of "I'd rather be with you" is X-Rated.  But, we all should be grown here, so I have no problem admitting that I absolutely love it.     I… Read More
