SNOOP DOGG f. PHARELL & BRANDY - SPECIAL (NEW MUSIC DOWNLOAD)

0 comments


Another leak from the Malice In Wonderland project dropping next Tuesday.  This time we get a Pharrell assisted track...which over time has proved to be some of Snoop's coolest work post Death Row.  If it's not a Dre track, a Skateboard P track for Snoop is usually one to look forward to.  I'm feeling this one and the addition of Brandy's voice makes this a sexy smooth affair.  Enjoy.






SNOOP DOGG x DJ QUIK f. NIPSEY HU$$LE : HOW THE WEST WAS ONE (PHOTO RECAP)

0 comments




































































Finally got the pictures from the concert up.  As you can see the west coast was heavily represented with a balance of new and old.  Nipsey held it down for the new west as did Problem as he was the surprise guest of DJ Quik and got Quik's set started off right.  Quik also brought 2nd II None with him and they ran through plenty classics.  Snoop closed up with a mix of old and new.  His surprise guests included DPG, The Lady of Rage, RBX, Too Short and Xzibit.  He was able to run through hits from the Death Row days all the way to songs from the upcoming album Malice In Wonderland.  It was a good night.  Some miscommunication ended up in my media pass disappearing but I made the best with the camera I was able to get in plus the limited access I was given.  I have more pics but I was feeling these the most.

0 comments




















Some new lofts created by Pugh + Scarpa for the REthink Development Corp.  Pretty interesting layouts for the lofts and they come with some interesting views.  Part of the description below via ArchDaily:


Cherokee Lofts will be the most advanced and distinctive building of its kind in Los Angeles. It will be the first “green” LEED (Leadership in Energy and En- vironmental Design) Gold Certified building in Hollywood per the U.S. Green Building Council certification system and it will be the first LEED Gold Certi- fied mixed-use or market-rate multifamily building in Southern California. The development will pay homage to the significant musical and Hollywood history of Cherokee Recording Studios, MGM Studios before it, and all the artists who recorded music on the site from Frank Sinatra to David Bowie to Dave Mathews. Its unique architectural form and integrated function create a high performing building that is an expression of the environmental and cultural context in which it is built. Simply put, Cherokee Lofts will represent the preeminent realization of green design, form, and function in the epicenter of the entertainment capital of the world. It is the 2007 Westside Urban Forum Westside Prize Winner.  Read More...

GAME at CLUB ECCO (VIDEO)

0 comments


Here is some footage of Game saying lots of different things on the mic as he was at Ecco last monday...I saw via Twitter that he was saying all sorts of outlandish things but when it comes to JT we're all used to that right.  It also seems when someone else is having a special event in Los Angeles Game has to be somewhere different making a spectacle of himself...like last night.  Kobe and the Lakers are at Playhouse balling out and he goes to another club and probably did something like this.  But in case you wanted to see his club antics you can watch this...


LOS ANGELES LAKERS UPDATES : LAKERS HOLD NETS WINLESS

0 comments


Kobe and the Lakers don't allow any breathing room for a young Nets team that were hoping to get not only the first win for their new coach but their first win of the season.  Not an easy task when you have to face the dominant Lakers.  Kobe dominated as usual and Jordan Farmar on the eve of his bday made a great showing.  Highlights above.  It was Shannon Brown's bday yesterday and it's Jordan's bday today...I heard the Lakers were tearing Playhouse down last night...including Kobe.  Next game is Tuesday against the Hornets.

I've never been to a Howard Homecoming but I have family back there and I know they pop...even if you're not of the college age there is enough for those of alumni (all alumni) ages to do on a social level. And no matter the age, a good hip hop show is a good hip hop show trust me.  So here is some footage of The Clipse' time there for the huge event.  So hold onto this as you prepare for their new album to release next tuesday...as I bump it now.  It's a good one so COP it!!!
