New music from Bun B off his “II Trill” album, in stores May 20th. Now the track ‘Swang On Em” is somewhat of a juxtapose as it features a chorus as simplistic as it gets, yet a cameo from Lupe who is anything but. I guess you can say there’s a little bit of something for all Hip-Hop fans on this joint. UGK is forever, and check out Sohh’s footage of Bun B speaking on “II Thrill“.

You’ve probably seen the memorably 68′ Olympics black and white image, of Tommie Smith raising his fist along side bronze medal winner John Carlos. Well their premeditated fist-raising act (protesting against the injustices against African Americans at the time) was deemed controversial, and Smith and Carlos were immediately suspended and banned from the Olympic Village. Their uplifting gesture has also had lingering effects for Smith and Carlos, who both subsequently received death threats and had difficulty finding work after…
Looks can be deceiving, and at first glance you might assume these cats don’t have it, but let the joint play before you make your assessments. Based out of Los Angeles, the soul/funk duo Chester French were signed to Star Trak/Interscope records in the Spring of 2007 by Pharrell Williams himself. ‘Fall Back’ also isn’t confirmed off their upcoming debut album “Love The Future”, but it just might make the the cut, check out their official biography below:
We initially heard about the MGS4 bluetooth headset exactly a month ago, and IGN’s UK branch has the first scoop. Head over there to peep a few Hi-Res photos of a pre-production sample. The MGS4 bluetooth headset drops June 12th and will retail at $59.99.
New music from Raekwon Da Chef, off of “OB4CL2″ (Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II), the forever stagnated LP that has finally shed some light. ‘Necro’ is bit dark (obviously), and is essentially Rae spitting his normal hustler raps followed by an oration from Ghostface about how he once soned’ a Captain Save A’ Ho. “OB4CL2″ is slated to hit stores July 15, 2008..
The sequel to Microsoft’s very first must have title for the Xbox 360 has finally unsurfaced, and they hope to leave both new and returning fans complacent. Check out GOW2 design director Cliff Bleszinski as he elaborates on the multiplayer, chainsaw duels (above), major plot elements, and as he puts it, “intimate violence”. (Once you hear him say it, you might agree–somethings not right with that statement). Watch the footage below.
You probably heard the song by now, remix too, but N.E.R.D. just released the official video for ‘Every Nose’ the first single off of “Seeing Sounds” (artwork above, and in stores June 10th..). Watch’s N.E.R.D.’s interpretation of how some of these young ladies conduct themselves during the nightlife below, and you can find the official track-list for “Seeing Sounds” after that too.
The Boy Genius just liberated some interesting info on the upcoming touchscreen blackberry. It’ll be on Verizon and Vodafone exclusively, have four physical keys (send, end, menu, and back), rock a hybrid CDMA EV-DO Rev. C / GSM HSPA radio. The only other bit of info on this must have BB is that its number might be the 9500 — but its subject to change. Looks like VZW is finally getting an actual iPhone competitor, stay tuned for more details.
