Me and the homie Dallas Penn caught Rakim Allah doing a free show in Brooklyn as part of the Summer Concert series in New York. I’ll be posting my written review later, but in the meantime you can witness me forgetting how to perform The Wop and doing some serious Rap Hands in between the God MC rapping.
LL clearly read my article about him and decided to get his shit together for this guest spot on Action Bronson‘s remix. Pity that the rapping mummy Lloyd Banks is on this instead of Curtis though. SAAB Stories drops next week.
Footage of Action Bronson‘s recent visit to Australia, where he enjoyed local trees, frosted beverages and the simple pleasures of riding a jet ski in between almost getting bagged-up for bombing the suburbs.
More Drum-Free Rap from the guy that Ghostface Stan’s love to hate. Produced by Alchemist, who has developed a strong distaste for snares in recent times.
I’m not even going to attempt to explain who the Internets Celebrities are – that’s what the ‘About’ section of their site is for, dummies! Okay, since you’re clearly too lazy and/or hungover to crawl over to your laptop and wipe the Cheezel dust from your fingers, I’ll provide a Twitter-proof rundown in less than 140 characters: Dallas Penn, Rafi Kam and Casimir Nozkowski made Ghetto Big Mac, Bodega and Checkmate, hit Sundance, and got 3 million views in the process.

Dallas Penn contributes this drop in the first of a series of guest spots while his site is on hiatus:
Fat Beats was like your older uncle who you didn’t visit as often so that when you got the news of his death it was from the other folks who still brought him his wine and shit.
You had great times at Fat Beats tho’ and those memories will last forever. Hip-Hop, like the rest of America which it represents has gone Best Buy big box pop. Fat Beats, Bondy‘s and Beat Street are only to be references in your favorite rapper’s verse of nostalgia. (more…)
Dallas Penn is an intehnets institution. Whether he’s dropping bombs at his blog, going in on the streets of New York with his handy cam or forming like Voltron with Rafi Kam and Casimir Nozkowski as the Internets Celebrities, he manages to school the youth and bug the fuck out all in the course of an average day. For the first part of this feature, I’ve gone into the archives to bring you the highlights of a two hour conversation from January 2008 before we move onto more recent events in the second half.
Robbie: Are you famous yet?
Dallas Penn: Part of Internets Celebrities is the ridiculousness of celebrity and how it really has no value, unless you use your celebrity to bring information to people or make that little bit of dirt you’re standing on a little better than it was a day ago. How worthless has celebrity become? You’re endorsing all kinds of bullshit, you’re endorsing nonsense, constantly. People say, ‘Oh man, you guys aren’t fucking celebrities! We don’t fucking know you!’ And they’re right – you don’t know us. But on the internets, you fuckin’ know us…or maybe not. (more…)
