Back in May the Bloated Penguin wrote a bit about the cast announcements for The A-Team, the movie, that post can be seen here. Well the official cast has been tapped since then, Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Face, previously it was believed that Common would play B.A. Baracus, but that role has [...]
Over the weekend, my cousin brought up some older movies he was getting into lately. One such movie happened to be the original live action adaptation to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Considering, we’ve gotten so many comments on the elusive Bioworld Merchandise fitteds. And with a previous post involving fan made Ninja Munnys, we [...]
In the past, we’ve done Throwback Thursdays that shared where samples originated. From there we’ve switched up to music of the 80s and 90s that deserve a bit of polishing and replay. These days, I’m going through the catalog of mp3s I collect and often times wonder where I got them from. [...]
I was perusing through my all my old hiphop cds that I’ve now archived on my iTunes. One thing I noticed was that I don’t really have a whole lot of hiphop on my list anymore and in terms of albums I barely have any, like under 5. But one of those is a favorite [...]
Chances are if you listened to East Coast ’90s hiphop, you probably listened to Native Tongues. Groups affiliated with the Native Tongues were The Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and of course this week’s Throwback Thursday, Black Sheep.

The group’s original members consisted of J Dilla, T3 and Baatin. When Dilla left to focus more on his solo work that’s when T3 brought in [...]
Let me first start off by saying, I honestly had no clue what I was gonna write for this Throwback Thursday, mostly because I didn’t realize it was actually Thursday til my cousin reminded me by sending this old school Italo Disco track my way. I’ve actually never heard of this song until my cousin [...]
Checking back on past Throwback Thursdays, I realized that I hadn’t done one on Cypress Hill. Ya, my thoughts exactly. The first time I actually heard Cypress Hill was on one of my favorite movies of all time to this day, Juice. Hearing the song on that soundtrack piqued my interest enough to investigate further [...]
