How to hire an SEO expert

aaron cohen — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:59:14 +0000

This is the standard against which all SEO experts should be measured. If your SEO consultant isn't a rapper you're really not spending your budget the right way.

You might have seen this last week, but if you didn't, watch Odd Future on Jimmy Fallon performing 'Sandwitches'. Exciting.

Thanks, Andy.

Full Ol’ Dirty Bastard documentary on Hulu

aaron cohen — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 14:59:56 +0000

Dirty: One Word Can Change The World is available for viewing on Hulu. Here's a description from a review:

Dirty effectively straddles the fine line of paying homage to an artist while still examining his negative attributes. Although one of ODB's children, son Barson, makes an apperance, noticeably absent are his other children and their mothers, who would obviously have a different, perhaps more demeaning perspective of him. But this omission is understandable, since the mothers have most likely moved on and probably want to stay away from the public scrutiny that comes from being involved with someone as controversial as the Ol' Dirty Bastard.

Thanks, Seth!

Song of the Summer 2010

aaron cohen — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:07:55 +0000

I saw Click Track refer to Cee Lo's Fuck You as the song of the summer. I'd agree, but on the other hand, I don't remember the last Song of the Summer I liked. Maybe it was that Kevin Costner song from Robin Hood.

Also, I finally had a reason to make a Keep Calm poster.

Humpty Dance is 20 Years Old

aaron cohen — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:37:15 +0000

And you all just said, "Damn, I'm old." There's surprisingly little around the internet celebrating this anniversary, which is weird because Digital Underground released a new EP a couple weeks ago. Doesn't anyone care?!

Jay-Z’s Duality

aaron cohen — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:00:22 +0000

Esquire says Jay-Z's realy talent lies in his ability to authentically relate to whomever needs relating to.

This coexisting as two things at once — luxury yet cheap, exclusive yet accessible, edgy yet mainstream — is Jay-Z in a nutshell: the gangster from the hood and the CEO in the boardroom. It is how Jay-Z has transformed himself from just another rapper with a gat to a celebrity-mogul-angel who hums advice into the loving ears of sitting governors and presidents...A big part of being authentic is being open and large enough to keep your tailbone at the dinner table and your eyes on the television in the next room, unapologetic and charming in your duality. 'Yes, I'm watching the game, but God I love your lamb!'

Wu-Tang vs Blue Note

aaron cohen — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:03:26 +0000

Wu-Tang Clan albums done up in the style of Blue Note Records album covers. Can't see anything about this to dislike. Of course I chose Iron Man to display. It's my favorite, even though everyone else likes Liquid Swords. It happens. Reminds me of 20 Hip Hop Album Covers Recreated in LEGO Format and Wu Tang Clan Chessboxin’.

Rapper’s Delight is 30 Years Old

aaron cohen — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:13:16 +0000

In a column celebrating the the 30th anniversary of Sugar Hill Gang's seminal hit 'Rapper's Delight', this Boston Globe column discusses how odd it is that the song is one of the few pop hits in recent history to not have a chorus, while barely touching on the fact that it's probably the only pop hit in recent history to be 15 freaking minutes long.

The Best Boston Video of All Time?

She Rocks My World by Zach Pace and Nutty Productionz (with a z). I'd like to submit this video without comment, but I can't because there's a couple things that deserve mentioning. Namely, the bad lip syncing, the Marilyn Monroe reference at 37 seconds, and the fact that the beat completely falls apart at 2:07.

Do you think this is a joke? If it is, is it not the best joke ever?

Update: A friend lmentioned they saw this on Barstool Sports a few days ago.

In the end, it doesn't matter if Lil Wayne can rock or not what matters is that you remember it's ALL his fault.

20 Hip Hop Album Covers Recreated in LEGO Format

The use of "classic" (whether it's classic music or classic album cover, it's not accurate) in this article is somewhat misleading, but the result is cute nonetheless. ###Possibly related posts:Somerville, MA – Hip or Unhip or Both?
