Why Black Mamba and Jigga won’t ever be The One
On paper, these two gentlemen are ahead of their class in just about every category (and their interviews are hotter, so holla). They’ve held us down several summers, showcasing their immense talents in various venues, and show no signs of slowing down anytime very soon. For all their efforts, they’re still not as respected as [...]

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” “Was I speeding?” “…You were speeding, you were tailing people, you were diving in and out of traffic. At one point, I clocked you doing 110 mph.” “Yeah… I’m sorry about that. Just happy you didn’t see me when I was pushing 120+mph… That’s the summation of [...]
Is the Jigga Man Just an Old Man?
A Sowhatiff & Seattle Fireside Chat Seattle: So I was listening to “D.O.A.” and much like the rest of you, I was bopping my head in agreement as Jay-Z delivered line after line discrediting the new audio aid. Even though one of Jigga’s own artists uses it often, and could be credited as the reason [...]

Emergency D- in a Glass

Seattle’s Throwback Session
Robert Nesta Marley said it best, “One good thing about music. When it hits you feel no pain.” Whether you listen to get our mind off some current pangs or drift back to a time of pleasure, music is an audible journal. And as I scan through my iTunes Library, I see a formidable catalogue that spans some noteworthy [...]
Did He Say What I Think He Said?
by Seattle Washington I hear it all the time from rappers, comedians and, unfortunately, Black kids outside my job. I’ve almost become accustomed to it. But when I heard “nigga” uttered by some Jewish guy at a party this past weekend, I almost became one. I’m getting ahead of myself, let me set the scene [...]
Setting the Bar Low
A few weeks ago, my boys and I were driving down to see the Rock the Bells concert and, as anticipated, we were stuck in traffic. Bumper to bumper traffic. Traffic that had us going at a consistent 5 mph for an hour and a 1/2. Funny thing was that the traffic wasn’t for our [...]
