Even in the world of anonymous bedroom boffins, London-based electronica merchant Franz Kirmann is pretty darn low-key. Of the nine tracks on his MySpace page, only one has over 250 listens. But with the likes of French DJ demigod Laurent Garnier praising this, his first EP on Lobe, all could be about to change.
Rap/rock is as old as Run DMC and Aerosmith, but The Black Keys -produced BlackRoc album has something on every Jay-Z mashup: a freaking Camaro SS . This may be the first album launched with its own custom car. The Black Keys combine their garage/blues rock sensibilities with a cast of hip hop all-stars. It's almost a Wu Tang Clan rally with Raekwon, Rza, and even a posthumous ODB performance as well...

Christian youth groups finally have an alternative to normal, aka "front," hugs. As we all know, face to face embraces run the horrific risk of a clothed crotch graze. The Christian Side-Hug (or the CSH, as the kids call it) rids us of sin, as the only below the belt contact will be some good old-fashioned hip on hip action. To help the side-hug fad sweep the nation, let us present this hardcore...
Wu-Tang Clan is a hardcore hip hop group. According to Wikipedia it is one of the most successful hip hop groups in history. I never heard of them. Personally I can’t stand that genre. Most of that kind of ‘music’ that I’ve ever had the misfortune of listening to is vulgar and tasteless. I’m not even sure it qualifies as music. But I do love music in general and I am always...
U2 are set to headline the Glastonbury Festival next year... news that has been met with a mixture of boredom and a mass outpouring of grief. It's not surprising that they've been asked if you think about it for one...
A true leader, don't choose to follow, choose what I swallow whether water or a beer bottle, of course I play the lotto... I loved old school rap beefs. KRS v MC Shan. Kool Moe Dee v LL Cool J. Then, beefs suddenly changed and got all violent, really dumb, and then spilled over from rapper v rapper. You had rappers v singers, comedians, actors, news personalities, anyone was fair game. And now add...
As we approach 2010, I set out on this mission with the expectation of wrapping up a decade’s worth of the best samples of the 2000’s, but the task was too great for me to finish by December 31st. I hope you won’t mind that this series will run well into next year. What you’ll find below are a total of 38 samples for songs from 2000. Why 38? That’s what I could fit into...
In the first week of November, we showed you anadidas Superstar II that pays homage to Wu Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah. Now, the same brand is extending its acknowledgement of the accomplished lyricists’ career to the Stan Smith. This pair’s upper comes in suede grey with matching shoe laces. Moreover, the heel and [...]
You can pretty much count U-God's okay verses on three or four fingers (number one: his verse on " Cherchez La Ghost "), so despite his status as an original member of the Wu-Tang Clan, it's not surprising that his new solo album, Dopium, has remained under the radar. Calling your new single "Wu-Tang" is pretty shrewd, but this is probably the best solo U-God track since... shit,...
Filed under: Hip-Hop , Hip-Hop News We were excited to hear straight from the horse's mouth that our favorite Wu-Tang Clan members were teaming up for a collaborative album. Back in August -- and then again in September -- Ghostface told The BoomBox about his upcoming project with Method Man and Raekwon during a podcast taping. We were skeptical, considering how difficult it sounds to get all three...
Another one from the Shaolin hip hop collective – Following up on OB4CLII, Ghostdini and Wu-Massacre, the clan has proven to still be highly capable dropping solid projects by doing so all throughout this year. Their latest video highlights U-God’s latest single with Method Man, Wu-Tang. This off his latest LP, Dopium which is now. [...]
