The hip-hop world suddenly turned their attention to Washington, DC when in 2006 two of the city’s most popular artists, Tabi Bonney and Wale, emerged as the leading candidates to represent the local scene on a national scale.

WantsForSale.com might be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a very long time.

Shouts to Matty G for telling me about this. And check out his artist Che Grand
Nike essentially created another type of shoe we needed to have

And PRO STARS!
Great call going with Hype on this. Similar camera angles/performance shots as the Gold Digger video. Also, the puppet imitation at 2:12 reminds me of David Byrne from Stop Making Sense
Just got this for my desk. One of my favorite movies of all time.
Personally, I could care less if Ricky was a C.O. I still think he’s good at what he does which is entertain. All these rappers are phony. I find it mind blowing that common folk think Rick actually made a quarter mill off dope even after a platinum selling album?
