BamBam Bronsolino goes a little Hollywood with a feature on Carson Daly’s late nite show.
Bronson is one of the hottest rappers in the game right now because he knows his way thru the kitchen.
“Let that boy cook!” is what I’m sayin’.

Up All Nite With Action…
Thursday, October 27th, 2011Video: J-Love – New York Vikings…
Thursday, October 27th, 2011
The Outdoorsmen NYC takeover continues, but now it has the power of the Lo-Life general Thirstin Howl the 3rd and his lieutenant Fi-Lo added to the mix.
This track is from J-Love’s ‘Egotistical Maniac’ album
College Music Journal Gets XXL…
Monday, October 24th, 2011
The College Music Journal is a fucking marathon event held in New York City to present new music and filmmakers to a broader audience. I suppose its NYC’s version of South by SouthWest. Concerts are smashed out with a dozen or more performances every night. I stopped fucking with CMJ because I was getting wack rap fatigue. That shit is worse than diabetes.
My homies, the Outdoorsmen, have been on a recent tear thru NYC. Meyhem Lauren at Webster Hall was crazy. Action Bronson all over New York City has been bananas. Action Bronson and his Outdoorsmen comrades KILLED at SOBs but the crowd had dwindled to only a handful of people since they got their mics at 3am.
The scene at the Highline Ballroom was a bit different tho’. XXL Magazine had the building packed to the rafters. Instead of headlining this show Action Bronson was opening for Kid Ink, French Montana and M.G.K. otherwise known as Machine Gun Kelly.
Rap music is still being saved by white people. In the crowd and on the mic.
Russell Keeps It Real…
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011
I caught rap music pioneering wig owner Russell Simmons speaking at Barnes & Noble bookstore at Union Square. I dipped into the bookstore to try and snatch some ZZZ’s before the College Music Journal events popping off later that nite. Russell Simmons just happened to be there to talk about the DefJam anniversary coffee table picture book.
Say what you like about Russell being an unapologetic shill for himself and you would be correct, but also know that he has been at the forefront of Hip-Hop’s musical and cultural dominance. Russell did this to shift the paradigm from the gatekeepers who would only admit disco acts onto the pop music playlist
I always knew that rap music had died once it became a form of popular culture’s experience, but rap music would not have even made it that far if Sylvia Robinson’s design would have flourished. Russell concedes that the SugarHill Records founder only wanted to use rap to make 12″ dance singles.
Disposable artists? Isn’t that what rap music is all about now?
Population Control…
Thursday, October 20th, 2011
The title track from Statik Selektah’s latest project ‘Population Control’ gets the visual treatment with Sean Price as the lynchpin.
“I am a very mean rapper, shoot the club up and I am never seen after”
