Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Crew Cuts
Jungle Brothers - True Blue (Aphrodite Remix)
pirate apprentice: Ponder: Crack Rock/Wicked Jump Shot
Hip hop and basketball have gone hand-in-hand ever since Kurtis Blow greased up his ‘fro and wrote a song dedicated to the sport back in ’84. There has been a litany of b-ballers that have tried their hand at the rap game (Iverson, Ron Artest and Chris Webber to name a few) and a handful of…
Saving Country Music: Hip Hop Infiltrates Nashville

The Hip Hop Stamp Collection

The brainchild of Mark Culmer, a graphic designer, illustrator and cartoonist based in Brighton, the Hip-Hop stamp collection is, quite simply, one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. Although they are not available as actual stamps, the original collection ‘A Celebration Of The Golden Era’ featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Eazy-E, Biggie, Biz Markie and 30-odd other MC-ing legends, is available on a T-shirt or as an A2 print and Mark is now rolling out a load of new stamps of 50 Cent, Eminem and Jay-Z.
Kanye West - Monster (Taco Bell Remix)
This dude’s dedication to his Taco Bell “Monster” Remix is unreal. For real, someone at Taco Bell give this dude free Taco Bell for life. Watch the whole way through, at the least til he hits the Jay verse. SMH.
