A Second-By-Second Recap Of Momma Dee's "I Deserve"
Yes, that’s right. Momma Dee (of Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta fame), aka Live-Action Scar, created a song, and made a video for this song. This song is called “I Deserve.” You will now watch a video for this song and read a recap of the video, because you deserve to be entertained by this. 0:07…

“Harlem Nights” and Other Negro Viewing Requirements
I watched Harlem Nights for the first time last weekend. It was outlandishly Blackety Black Black. Just how I like my men. I loved it. But that didn’t matter. Apparently, making it to 29 without having seen Redd Foxx’s last big screen appearance was a crime against Blackness, because far too many people responded to…

Black-ish, The Best Black Sitcom…Ever?
I first saw Kyrie Irving play live in the 2010 Jordan Classic — an annual high school all-star game featuring the country’s best basketball players. Although it was broadcast on ESPN, I forgot it was coming on, but some random channel surfing allowed me to catch the last few minutes. The clip starting at the 27 second…

Master P Didn't Ruin Hip Hop, Jay-Z Did
Yeah, I said it. Any discussion about what happened to hip-hop – and by what happened, I mean the apparent downfall of it – usually starts and ends with the South and the rise of one Percy “Master P” Miller and the point when he and his No Limit tank invaded NYC and DJs began…

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, Ep. 6 Recap: Oh How Things Change
While recapping episode 3 a few weeks ago, I said the following things regarding Lil’ Fizz: He has all the sense it seems and has suggestions and solutions. Either way, never in a thousand years did I think I’d utter the words, “you know what, I kind of fuck with this nigga Lil Fizz.” Lies,…

10 Rap Songs That Would Be As Big (Or Bigger) Today As When They Came Out

Spiders The Size of Puppies? Fuck Nature, Yo.
“The South American Goliath birdeater (real name!) has a footlong legspan and two-inch fangs. Its body is about the size of a fist and it is the largest spider in the world—that we know of.” One more reason I just do not fuck with nature, b. I just don’t. Why is a spider this damn…

Which Album Cover Is Worse? Big Bear Vs. Big Mike
Either way, the Bigs have it. *rimshot* Get it? The Bigs? Because Big Bear vs… Nevermind. *ahem* When it comes to bad hip-hop album covers, no conversation is complete (or relevant) unless it includes a discussion of Big Bear’s Doin’ Thangs album cover. Please examine this cover in all of its glory. When Pen &…

PJ and The Playlist Thursdays, Vol 1
I dont know why I never did this before. But better late than never they say. They say a lot of things. Anyway, because so many folks here at VSB are self-appointed music heads (myself being one of them) and have such vast and expansive musical tastes, I think I’m going to start doing a…
