In 2012, I picked up a brand new GMC Terrain after saying goodbye to my 2003 Accord which I drove into ground (this was at 130k miles- I've never known anyone that has kept a Honda for 200-300k miles although everybody wants you to think that). Fast forward to 2017-18: I've dumped in $1500 on...
While Jordan brand still continues to bring in massive dollars in 2018, the Saturday releases we all camped out for in years past are nothing but an afterthought these days. With this wave the last few years switching to running shoes or those with a more fashion casual look to it. For us that...
Planning a trip to Charleston SC this month. What are your must do restaurants, bars, sight seeing, tours, walks on the beach, etc. I was hoping to find a good homestyle comfort food spot- fried chicken, green beans, mac & cheese, etc if anyone has any recommendations. I'm down for modern...
So refreshing to hear this album after so many years. Not to turn into a rant, but how is Drake the best we have to show these last 8-10 years?! Well I guess we also have Kendrick and KRIT, but how did we let hip hop de-Volve to where it is now? This new trap nonsense is making us all morons...
Just curious if you guys know how much of a cut smaller stores make on shoes versus retail. For a standard Yeezy low top model that's $220, what would a small boutique store get them for? Just curious how these small mom & pop stores stay in business these days! Especially with low foot...
With some money dumped into a regular money market account at a traditional walk up bank (Key, PNC, etc), it basically earns beans and is as useful as tucking cash under the mattress in a shoe box. Is there any reason to be scared of these online banks such as Ally or even Barclays which offer...
Long story short, I'm still rocking with my macbook from 2011 (still smooth as butter!), which I had 4 gigs left on my hard drive that I couldn't even update it anymore. So naturally, after deleting a few iPhone backups, I went to my 240 gig music library and did some spring cleaning. After...
Random post of the day..... I know they're obviously comparing two different beasts. Both guys are gonna be in town for me in the next couple weeks. With work/life etc, I don't have time or feel like going out for 2 shows in 2 weeks right now. Who would you rather see? Any experiences...
My Twitter app has been driving me nuts the past few months. In the past, I loved scrolling “up” when I re opened the app. My last read tweet would display first, and then I would scroll up to get to the most current tweet on my timeline. Now I feel like everything is a hot mess and I’m...
As a 32 year old, if it isn't Kendrick/Cole/Krit (I don't even care not including Drake on this list anymore), I officially have moved on from checking for hip hop. The disposable "in one ear, out the other" trap rappers are dead to me. Even the older guys clinging on to the tail end of their...
As a graduate of an advanced degree program (PhD equivalent), full time member of the "white collar" work force more than 5 years, and adding recently married to the mix, I feel so embedded in the time clock/rat race lifestyle. I had just covered a later shift and had the pleasure of leaving...
I've been out of the mainstream game probably the last 2 years- who still listens the new stuff on the radio? I feel like there's only so many projects Royce da 5 9 and comparable guys can put out to keep me interested. Outside of Kendrick/Cole,Fabolous, etc, what have you been listening too...
I was looking to getaway for a weekend later this summer, and wanted to to a quick Fri-Sun trip with the lady. I've been to all the BIG cities, and was looking to do something different. What would you guys recommend- something with good bars/restaurants and a couple tourist hot spots too. ...
Growing up to west coast legends/UGK/tribe called quest, etc, I have considered hip hop to be a huge and really enjoyable piece of myself. Since the early 90's, I've kept up with pretty much every trend, clique, region to put the hottest MCs out. I don't know if its just myself outgrowing some...
Fresh just dropped a single with Wayne, Juvenile and Birdman. It's actually pretty dope IMO, but do you think it'll honestly get any radio spins? Being that the cash money fan base is late late 20s-30s, I can't imagine this getting any hype. Wayne's run is long over with. How can this...
Whats up fellas- I have been doing pretty good with putting money away into a 401k/Roth IRA for retirement, and am ready to take the next step and transfer some money out of my money market account into a Fidelity account that would get me a better return than essentially collecting dust in a...
What do you guys say? Is Jay really done? I know he just had the tour and still is hot with the tabloids, but aside from that, is anybody at all checking for Hov? This is not a hate post either- I'm a lifetime fanatic, but really think that if he doesn't put out another album, will we really...
First things first, I have been a huge Cole fan since the Warm Up.. However, I feel that his career his been mismanaged pretty bad the last couple years. He went from being a huge motivator to the masses with pretty good lyrics to go along with it. With Born Sinner, he came with a huge...
