Mama Mia: Little Italy Pot Ring Busted


That's a spicy meatball!

FROM nydailynews.com:

"Investigators have seized $1.1 million in cash from a Little Italy flat - profits from a huge marijuana money-laundering ring with possible ties to organized crime. It is "by far" the biggest stash ever seized in the city linked to a marijuana ring, city special narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan said."

The Onion on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Video


'Gays Too Precious To Risk In Combat,' Says General

The Onion was always hilarious as a paper publication, but now in the realm of video they truly shine in their form of serious satire. Take a look at their coverage of the current re-assessing of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy.

Bun B's "No Mix Tape" is OUT NOW!


Bun B, one of my favorite Southern MC's (most are just "Rappin Ass Dudes" see Gucci Mane, Lil' Wayne, Soulja Boy), has finally put out his "never planned" mixtape: No MIX TAPE. With the way he handled rumors, this project finally took the shape we see today. Enjoy the tape as much as I've enjoyed the freestyles independently.

Reuters & Mixtapes in 2010


Reuters, the news agency, has an interesting article about Mixtapes and their current impact on the music industry as of late. Citing Drake, Pill, Chalie Boy, Hayes, Whoo Kid, Eskay, Onsmash, Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne the article is a serious look at hip hop, which is a breath of fresh air from a medium (journalism) that has trouble taking the genre serious.
