The Viewfinder: The Throne's "No Church In The Wild"

The Viewfinder: The Throne’s “No Church In The Wild”

The video for Kanye and Jay’s “No Church In The Wild” is a keeper. Check it out here.

Hear Here: Jay Electronica’s “Shiny Suit Theory” (feat. Jay-Z & The-Dream)

Hype is a dangerous thing-as I’ve said before, we need to come to a place that’s more about showing and proving than talking about it. So while the internets and the hip-hop tastemakers have been buzzing about Jay Electronica for something like two years now, I’m patiently waiting for the brother to actually release an album. Seems like we might be a little closer to that actually happening-Jay linked up with Jay-Z and became an official Roc Nation signee about […]

Chart Chat 7/7/10: Mid-Year Report

Surprising no one, Eminem’s “Recovery” maintains a second week on top of Billboard’s album chart. Perhaps surprising some folks, “Recovery” experiences a less steep second-week decline than usual, moving a still healthy 313,000 units. This vaults it over the million sold mark in only 2 weeks.

They then fell victim to the sophomore jinx. Their second album, “Ta-Dah”, didn’t sell nearly as well (it also wasn’t nearly as good). Plus, on […]

Popblerd (Sort of) LiveBlogs the 10th Annual BET Awards

Sometimes it pays to have other plans. The 10th Annual BET Award ceremony is tonight. Now, normally, I live blog these things so I can share in the shocks and horrors along with everyone else. This time, I had to work (yes, on a Sunday night. I know, right?), so watching the show live isn’t an option. Thank God for DVR. Now I can still deliver snark, but I can speed through the show in half the time! The BET […]
