That evidence was clear Monday as Redbox, the nation’s largest DVD rental company, agreed to spend up to $100 million to acquire Blockbuster-branded DVD kiosks operated by its largest rival, NCR Corp., adding about 9,000 machines to its existing 35,400. The deal was announced the...
Redbox Gives Warner Bros The One-Finger Salute
While Netflix is happy to kowtow to Warner Brothers Studio’s title-delaying demands, Redbox is having none of it. The curbside video rental chain just let its contract with WB expire over the issue—allowing Redbox to rent its WB catalog ahead of the competition.

“Size matters not, ... Look at me. Judge me by...
A wise soul wrapped up in a 5”4 body, Lil Wayne has experienced more by age 15 than most of us will in a lifetime. Wise beyond his years, he is the Yoda of the rap world (who else has had a legitimate 15 year career?). If you listen carefully you will hear these gems to live by, sprinkled throughout his lyrics.

Judaism X Hip Hop
As a member of the tribe I am proud to accept Drake into the hip hop world as the best Jew in the game since Shyne. Through the years we have seen grazed by some Jewish talent such as the likes of Shyne, Scott Storch ,Rick Rubin and MC Serch and clowns like Mickey Avalon.
But the Jewish culture has always been apart of Hip Hop and the entrepreneurs that seek the profits. Just ask Russel...

Kid Cudi_Man on the Moon or the real E.T.?
Cudi is the man, and his new show ‘How to Make it in America’ is the cat’s pajamas, but in episode 2 there is no denying that he is one funky shaped looking guy. The Calvin Klein shoot he did actually looks a lot better than what I saw on HBO. It just scared the shit out of me.

Kanye will always be cool with me
Always great way to start the week with a little Kanye. Anyone who is still mad at him for the Taylor Swift thing is an unforgiving asshole. Here is a quick reminder as to why he is arguable the best of the past decade. Just look at the pics from GQ of him with Amber Rose, looking cooler than most of us on our birthdays.
