The BYB Influence Rocks The BET Stage (Wale, Gucci Mane, UCB, Tre & Weensey)

TMOTTGoGo

If you’re going to deliver to the world some of your homegrown flavor, why not give it to them live and not just samples of it?  At least that’s the way rapper Wale brought it when he took it to the BET Hip-Hop Awards’ stage.  Instead of flavoring the stage with sprinkles of Backyard Band’s Dope Jam shots, UCB let the keyboards do the talking.  And instead of filling the air with sampled hooks of Backyard Band’s vocalist Weensey singing “Pretty Girls,” the stage was greeted by Weensey himself. I can dig it! Watch video clip below:And also… here’s some … Continue reading The BYB Influence Rocks The BET Stage (Wale, Gucci Mane, UCB, Tre & Weensey)

Redskin’s Jim Zorn Has Been Relinquished of His Play-Calling Duties

TMOTTGoGo

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — The Washington Redskins are taking away head coach Jim Zorn’s play-calling duties.

The team plans to announce a new play caller Monday.

D.C. Hip-Hop: Can it Break the Hold of Go-Go?

TMOTTGoGo

By Chris Richards Washington Post Staff Writer Washington’s hip-hop community couldn’t have given itself a more Freudian nickname. “The DMV” stands for the District, Maryland and Virginia, but it feels like a big fat metaphor for a city that’s been waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . for a national rap star to emerge. That wait officially ends on Nov. 10 with the release of Wale’s “Attention Deficit” — the oft-delayed debut album from a local rhymesmith whose degree of success could decide the future of Washington’s ready-to-burst rap scene. “I think every man has … Continue reading D.C.
