Man Goes ‘Subway Surfing’ Outside Of Speeding New York City Train (Video)

A man in New York City rode outside a speeding J train & it was captured on video by other passengers. Dude has some serious balls to do something like this! Apparently the video has caught the attention of NYC authorities who are trying to discourage other people from wildin’ out like this & risking their lives. I’ve seen wilder things on the train in NYC back in the day. These days the cars are cleaner & newer but the game hasn’t changed.

Mac Miller – “Blue Slide Park” (Prod. by ID Labs)


I don’t particularly understand all the hate Mac Miller has been getting as of late especially when the title track to his album “Blue Slide Park” bangs like this. As long as he doesn’t have an album full of “sing songy” raps then I’m positive he’ll be fine when it drops. I’ve been following his rise in the game once I saw him start bubbling out of the Pittsburgh area & now the kid is consistently selling out shows internationally. He built up his own fanbase independently by doing his own thing, being creative, & having fun with the music so you can’t be mad at that especially since he’s a fan of hip hop & respects the culture. The album “Blue Slide Park”, named after a Pittsburgh area park he & his crew would often be found hanging out at, drops November 8th. Check out the title track below…..

Jimmy Iovine & Dr. Dre Debut New Beats By Dre Products (Video)


The Beats By Dre line is one of the most lucrative ventures in the entertainment business right now and when Dre isnt shelving Detox he is raking in the dough. Dre and Jimmy sat down to show the new holiday line. They have new colors and wireless headphones to go along with a new Beats By Dre boom box. It’s $$$$$$. Personally I think the headphones are a little overrated for the price, but if these new wireless ones are quality then I may get a pair.

Rewind: East Flatbush Project featuring Des – “Tried By 12” (Video)


All real hip hop heads know this classic beat when DJ Premier through it on during the BET Hip Hop Award Cyphers. I’ve heard many emcees rock over this East Flatbush Project production over the years, but the casual rap fan doesn’t know any better so I thought we’d post this joint back up for the real heads, young cats, & those trying to catch up. I interviewed “Spencer”, who is the producer & mastermind behind the East Flatbush Project about a year or two ago & if I remember correctly he told me the emcee “Des” who is rhyming on the song & video has been incarcerated for over a decade now. If so I’m sure cats in the day room are probably biggin’ him up right now wherever he is….
