  • PJ and The Playlist Thursdays, Vol. 3

    Who knew T-Pain could actually sing? I’m sure of you did. But some of us didn’t. Either way, I already enjoying people singing ignorant things, but there’s a special enjoyment given that this is T-Pain, a man for whom the industry that now THRIVES on auto-tune seems to have left him behind. By the way, I…

  • Fireball Whiskey Has Some Stuff In It That They Use To Make Anti-Freeze. So?

    I read a story yesterday that Fireball Whiskey is being recalled in Europe. Why? Here’s why: Late last week, the whiskey’s European bottler informed the makers of Fireball that they were out of compliance with European regulations. The Fireballers prepare two versions: a recipe for Canada and the United States containing the chemical, propylene glycol, and a…

  • 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…

    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.
