Well..well..well, I am proud to say that the ladies are holdin their shit down lately. I heard Paper Planes by M.I.A about 3 or 4 months ago, and was absolutely obsessed for a month straight. And then It just recently got put into the Pineapple Express trailer and BAM all of the mainstream losers out there ate it up and now it’s the number song on iTunes. Don’t you just love how that shit works (sarcasm). Not to mention that M.I.A came out with Galang like years ago, and is only getting credit now. I really hope that people go out and buy the album because the whole thing is hot, only a few disappointments.

And then there’s Santogold. Whom I personally favor over M.I.A. My favorite songs are Starstruck, Shov It (remix), and Find A Way (remix). The two sounds are pretty similar, but Santogold is pure Brooklyn. I’ve been listening consistently for about a couple months and it does not get old. The album is amazing! Every song is unique and every beat is so hot.

And now…I give you Kid Sister. A newbie to the scene, but she has already caught the attention of Kanye and his DJ A-Trak. The trio teamed up to make the remix for Pro Nails. I do like the beat, but I’m not obsessed. Kanye’s verse is amazing as usual. She has a unique vibe, If I had to put her in the ranks with someone it would most likely be Lil Mama. So check it out…I’d like to know what you think. Do you think she’s going to make noise or flop?

So my last two blogs have been specifically geared towards women, so I figured I’d keep it up because it’s a nice aspect to the blog. I’m not a hardcore feminist or anything but us women deserve some attention too. I’ve been shopping around for some Nike SB Dunk Highs lately and sadly realized that there aren’t too many specifically women releases. It is possible to own a pair of men’s, if you didn’t already know, you can find your size in men’s by subtracting a size and a half. This is also somewhat difficult to deal with because that would make me a size 7, and you cannot find ANY size 7’s in any boutique anywhere. Ordering offline is out of the question because any collector knows that the mark up is absolutely ridiculous online. So I spent literally an hour trying to find some exclusive women’s dunks, and these are four somewhat decent pairs. But….typically….every pair has some form of pink in them. Excuse me, but I fuckin hate pink, and that’s so sad that Nike believes that every woman enjoys wearing the color pink. (Silently gags) And…. What is the deal with zebra? Just because dumbass Heidi Montag thinks it’s the greatest thing on the planet since boob jobs, it doesn’t mean every other girl does too. I found probably 4 different versions with pink and zebra in them. Ridiculous.  So… out of all the options I’d go for the Thrashin or Premiums, definitely the Premiums if the souls were orange.

So I was surfing through MySpace music the other day to see who the top rated hip-hop artists were. What I found actually made me puke in my mouth a little. The number one female hip-hop artist is none other than Ms. Tila Tequilla. Are you serious? People actually listen to that crap. So I decided to take a little listen to see where all the hype was coming from, I thought maybe she actually is good. Well sorry folks… she is absolutely terrible. And no offense Tila lovers but her face looks likes she’s been run over by an 18-wheeler a few times. Wow that felt good to vent out.

So on to more important business, where are all the TALENTED female rappers at? It’s almost as if they’re nonexistent anymore. This makes me really sad. So I’m going to do a little recap on who I believe are some of the most talented female rappers of our time. Unfortunately they are all getting old and will most likely retire soon. So I’m hoping this post will inspire some amazing female MC ‘s to get off their asses and More...

Why hello there, my name is Dre and I am the most recent face of the Amalgam Digital bloggers. If you look to the right hand side of your screen you can scan over my bio and get to know a little bit about me. Recently I had a great opportunity to interview Doug Cohen the president of the Flud watch line. Check them out!

 Doug is a down to earth guy and very true to his passion. In the past he made a huge impact on the DJ world with his event TableTurns in NYC. I was very impressed with his story and now he’s brought his passion into the world of exclusive urban accessories. I happen to have a part time job at a costume jewelry store and when I first looked over the line I was pleasantly surprised to see that this stuff is fresh and nothing like you’ve ever seen before. His top seller the TableTurns named after his popular DJ get together is one of the most attractive. If I was a DJ I would be running my ass down to Karmaloop to get one asap, it’s a More...
