Seriously DJ Laz, are you that hard up for cash that you’re resorting to doing awful local commercials for personal injury lawyers based on popular courtroom shows and Jerry Springer? There is a reason radio personalities go into the unseen medium. “Pimp with the Limp,” stay off my TV screen…
This one deserves to be debated for awhile. In a somewhat shocking proclamation, Spin Magazine, recently named current Miami resident Lil Wayne as Rock Star of the Year. It’s a nice gesture but you’ve got to wonder if he’s really earned it?Before everyone jumps and curses Spin for trying to…
Anybody that was at the Q-Tip concert in Fort Lauderdale the night before Thanksgiving was treated to one hell of a show! The music was great, the openers were good, and even P. Diddy was in the building buggin’ out having a good time. I can’t complain about Q-Tip’s set…
Jan Terri, “Get Down Goblin” In the Eighties and Nineties, Jan Terri was a limousine driver who became a cult sensation in her hometown of Chicago for her self-produced albums and music videos. As naive and zero budget as they are, Terri’s pluck, tenacity, and particular, uh, aesthetic, actually scored…
Hey Pitbull, we sincerely hope you read this post. Not because we want to bash you. In fact, you sort of like you. When you commanded us to shake our “culo” we gladly obliged, and when you teamed up with the Ying Yang Twins to simply command us to “shake”…
The other day, during a rare occasion of listening to terrestrial radio, I tuned into Power 96, only to eventually hear a confused, all-over-the-place song about, well, a woman’s high potential for finding a sex partner. When my iPhone’s Shazam application couldn’t tag it (and it tags everything, even random…
Well, longtime South Florida tech/death/whatever metal stalwarts Wykked Wytch are at it again — they’ve released a new single, and it’s yet another cover. The last one was their version of the overdone “Sweet Dreams,” and now, for whatever reason, they’ve decided to attack “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence…
Just saw that this was one of the featured videos on YouTube… Watch as an enterprising fellow dons an electro-chic allover-print hoodie (hood up, of course), a hair of headphones around his neck, and a prop record bag, and bullshits his way past all the “queues.” It’s amusing, but I…
A couple of months ago, I took a little pleasure in debating the possibilities of the new “Rockstar Menu” announced by Denny’s. Read that piece to get all the details — but in a nutshell, the 24-hour psuedo-diner chain recently launched it’s “Denny’s All-Nighter” campaign. They’re sponsoring bands with free…
In light of his most recent arrest–at a Wal-Mart–in South Florida this past Thursday, the question deserves to be asked: is DMX the dumbest rapper alive? The former rap star who once put out widely revered albums like, It’s Dark and Hell is Hot and Flesh of my Flesh, Blood…
It’s time for another roundup of the fruits of lurking on Craigslist’s South Florida musician ads. As always, bands, if you’re looking to fill up a lineup and want an extra shout-out for your ad, e-mail me here. — Arielle Castillo *Whoa, yet another sludge metal band seems to be…
Every once in a while I lurk the Craigslist musician ads in search of some local music news (lineup changes, and so forth). Here are some of my favorite recent ones. BTW, bands, if you’re looking to round out a lineup and want an extra shout-out for your ad, let…
This is one of the few times you’ll ever hear me defend Soulja Boy on anything! I’m not a fan of his music or his immaturity, although at the age of 17, I can definitely understand the latter. Recently, long-time rapper, and current Law and Order cast member Ice-T recorded…
I may be late to the Internet viral video game again with this one, but it made me LOL pretty hard so I had to share. Of course, the most common criticism of musicals is that in real life, people don’t just burst into narrative song. But what if they…
So, who doesn’t want to gently easy into their Monday afternoon with a good 20 minutes of time-wasting bad Internet videos? The smartest YouTube searchers know that the site’s treasures are often found simply by typing “worst” whatever in the search box, or, for a grab bag, just “worst” itself,…
In case you missed this on Deco Drive or Idolator, things went haywire on the set of Rick Ross’ recent video shoot for his upcoming single, “Here I Am,” featuring Nelly. A tiger hired to add some menace or flair or whatever to the set apparently wasn’t a fan of…
The video with Latarian Milton, the 7-year-old badass/hood rat enthusiasts that stole his mother’s SUV in Palm Beach Gardens is definitely making the rounds of the blogosphere right now. So there’s no surprise that a remix of the footage has surfaced on YouTube set to music. Initially, that sounds cool…
How intriguing are the NBA playoffs this year? Every night, brand new drama unfolds. It’s more like a soap opera with athletes than anything and the latest clap-back diss song aimed at rapper Jay-Z proves that. If you’re late to the party…Washington Wizards star DeShawn Stevenson and LeBron James don’t…
Washington Wizard forward DeShawn Stevenson is finding that out the hard way. In what seems like a feud that was on it’s way toward being a nonstory, Stevenson’s war of words with LeBron James just went to an unexpected level. Over the weekend, Jay-Z recorded a (rather funny) diss track…
The Smoking Gun recently reported in a long, investigative entry that R&B singer Akon, who has built a career on making a huge deal out of his alleged criminal past, is not as bad as he says he is. Since the release of Akon’s 2004 debut, Trouble, the singer has…
It’s no secret that Khia, of the famous 2002 cunnilingus anthem “My Neck, My Back” is not the biggest fan of Miami’s top female rappers. Early on, there was the debacle involving Jacki-O over her status as the self-dubbed “Queen of the South.” Then there was her beef with Trina,…
Just got an email from overseas about champion British soundclash veteran David Rodigan’s time in the studio with our own Walshy Fire from Black Chiney. A week and a half ago, Roddy was in town doing a show at Studio A and before he hit the club, he and Walshy…
