“You want to hear about insanity? I was found running naked through the jungles in Mexico. At the Mexico City airport, I decided I was in the middle of a movie and walked out on the wing on takeoff. My body… my liver… okay, my brain… went.” – Dennis Hopper

Ya’ll can have Gary Coleman. He had no influence on me whatsoever.

The Rickster is my neegris.
Peep this video I shot of Blacastan + Ricky doing their thing in NYC.. One of the last times I’ve ever shot video for UGHH ::sniffle::
The video editing is on point. Nice with the slow-downs + speed ups, the audio placement, the clips selected. Shouts to Van Stylez who took over [...]

Disc Review: Homeboy Sandman – “The Good Sun” (4/4 Stars)

Posted on May 27, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Consumerism, Hip Hop | 7 Comments

I’ve been listening to a lot of old Clue tapes lately – on an actual tape deck – and AZ is without a doubt one of the standout cats all over those ‘97-’98 era masterpieces. Despite few people admitting to feeling it at the time, I’m a firm believer that even The Firm album will [...]

Meet Bomshot, Boston Hip-Hop’s Mr. Incongeniality (to say the least)

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Boston, Boston Hip-Hop, Hip Hop, Rap Beef | 9 Comments

The night before this interview, Bomshot pulled what might go down as the most boneheaded stunt in Boston hip-hop history when, in the middle of a crowded Slaine and Ill Bill show at Harpers Ferry, he attempted to cheap-shot the former from behind. He landed in a pit of La Coka [...]
