• Initial Lineup Announced for Langerado 2009: Snoop Dogg, Chromeo, Bad Brains, Public Enemy, Cafe Tacuba, and More

  After much Internet gossip and rumor-mongering, the folks behind Langerado announced they would release the first phase of the festival's 2009 lineup yesterday morning. That didn't happen, with a delay as organizers "finalized last-minute details." Still, this morning they've come forward with a few names, several of which will be appearing at the festival for the first time. The lineup announcement comes after the jump. -- Arielle Castillo

• Miami According to Brooklyn: Listen to Your Elders

  To read past installments of Miami According to Brooklyn, click here. I want to talk this week about how the younger generation has no respect for the older generation. The younger kids coming up have no respect for the people who have been there, done that sort of thing. I would be a lot better off in life if I had actually listened to what older, wiser people had said to me. Instead, I had to work my ass off and hustle through life when it doesn't have to be like that. I just closed my ears an

• Talking With Chuck D About Obama

  Image via www.myspace.com/chuckdpublicenemyThere are few rap songs as important to modern culture as Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," a rallying cry against political indifference. Well, it's been 20 years since PE's frontman Chuck D helped scare the hell out of white America, and a black man now sits in the Oval Office thanks in large part to record black turnout last November. "We had numbers [on our side] this time," Chuck says of the election, a few days before Obama's inauguration. (His ow

• Win 25 Grand for your Beefcake

  Beef has taken some serious body punches in the last couple of years. Michael Pollen, Mark Bittman, and a merry cast of vegetarians have been steadily hammering away at our poor American steers, calling them expensive, health-hazardous resource hogs that have done little to whittle the national waistline. Now the Association for American National Cattlewomen has thrown down the gauntlet: The ladies are offering a $25,000 grand prize to the home cook who comes up with the most fabulous origin

• WMC Preview: The Week in Dubstep

  For those of you unfamiliar with dubstep, its sound first originated in London in the early 2000's and is a close relative of both UK garage and drum 'n' bass. Rooted in the sparse yet effects-laden production stylings of dub reggae, one of dubstep's best qualities is its versatility in encompassing elements of pretty much any electronic music genre you can think of: trance, electro, hip-hop, jungle, etc. What characterizes it as its own sound, however, are the fast 165-185 bpm breakbeats accomp

• Top Ten Thursdays: The Top Ten Greatest Rappers Alive (Let the Haterade Rain....)

  via lilwayne-online.comDid Weezy make the cut?​Self-proclaimed "greatest rapper alive" Lil Wayne performs Sunday at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise. That boast had serious clout when Tha Carter III dropped last year. But with Weezy's ruinous rock album Rebirth in delay hell -- latest news has it coming out in November -- it's time to reassess the "greatest rapper alive" title. By that, we mean the best rapper right now, and offer a top ten tally (in no particular order) after the jump.Lil'
