Be warned: The video above features a song with some language that I might describe as "saucy," and certainly qualifies as not safe for work. With Pandemic Studios being shut down last week, several now-former employees of the Mercenaries and Saboteur developer decided to make a parting video. Anyone who has ever seen Office Space will immediately recognize the Geto Boys song and understand...

It's unclear whether this Pandemic Studios "16th Floor" tribute video was shot or posted by actual former worker from the recently closed developer , but I like to imagine that these are real employees taking out their aggressions and frustration on a real laser printer stolen from the shuttered office, celebrating afterwards with a breakdancing session at someone's apartment. As with the...

I never needed a magazine, other artists or regions to validate the music made by the 5th Ward legends. The Def American vinyl, we was on that. Yet, it was definitely appreciated, when years later, others did start to recognize. Download — Geto Boys - “Assassins”

The image of Bushwick Bill on the front of the Geto Boys' We Can't Be Stopped is one of the most iconic in rap history. Getting shot in the face would be a scared straight moment for most of us, and it was for Bushwick too, only it took him two decades to put that together. Now that he's on the righteous path, though, he's recorded a gospel album, Testimony of Redemption , out on December 1. I absolutely...

I tend not to listen to gospel music. In my experience--which may be limited--when black folks start singing about their faith, it’s usually grand melismas wrapped around Jesus or GEE-ZAUCE (depending on where you went to church). And, no, I’m...

Here’s a great video from Pajamas Media’s Alfonzo Rachel about the victimhood mentality (with apologies to the Geto Boys): The point about blacks, or any minority for that matter, being accused of being race traitors or “Uncle Toms” because of their daring to wander away from the dogma of the liberal victim plantation is well made. We see that nonsense all the time, and the...
