The Original Gangster, Ice-T, is back in the rap game with his latest CD called Gangsta Rap. The former “cop killer” has mellowed out over the years and now raps about “guns and drugs and bitches and ho’s.”
Not to be outdone by the OG, Kevin Federline, aka K-Fed, is debuting his rap entry, Playing [...]

My older Sony miniDV camcorder is giving me some problems (randomly powering off and always zooming in) so it’s probably time for a new one. I began doing some research on digital camcorders figuring they’re about all the same. Boy am I wrong. There are miniDV, DVD, and hard drive camcorders. [...]

Recently got the 2 CD set of the Thrive Mix 02. Not bad, but I’ve heard better mixes. The set has some interesting selections like Coldplay, INXS, Kelly Clarkson, Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, Alanis Morissette, and even “Seasons of Love” from Rent.
Still good enough to zone out to. Got it for $14 [...]
