Let it Go
... because you shouldn't be holding onto it anyway.If you need a place to send your old shoeboxes full of love letters and detritus, and don't want to resort to a bitter bonfire, you can submit them to this museum, with a little story about what happened, and what could have been.
See the exhibits.

NY: White Mike on the 1s and 2s
Every time I go to NY, White Mike makes an amazing playlist to bump in his '86 Cressida, as we zip through Manhattan bumpin' the illest Freestyle. You can enjoy his music tonight for just $1 at Vault 225 E. Houston St! Go check it out...I promise your dancing feet won't regret it! ;)

Fallen Princesses
These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues. - Dina Goldstein

Guerilla Busfare Approved: "Tear Gas" The Jacka
The Jacka is my favorite artist out of the Bay for many reasons, with his previous album, The Jack Artist, as one of my top 10 of all time. So you can imagine how excited I was to hear his latest release, Tear Gas, which dropped yesterday on iTunes and at Rasputins. I told his manager, PK, how The Jack Artist was a hard act to follow; that album was released when I was Editor of Ruckus Magazine and I was immersed in the Hyphy Movement (RIP), so there's a very special sentiment that I hold for that moment in time. Plus, Jacka has become a good friend of mine throughout the years due to his humility, hard work, and the fact that he's never once went "Hollywood" on me like some, ahem, other Bay Area rappers.
That being said, I was a fan before I was a friend, so it's easy for me to speak on his work with a critical eye. My favorite tracks include "All Over Me" (of course), Mistah F.A.B.-assisted "Callin' My Name" and the zodiac freak in me doesn't mind "What's Your Sign" with Jack's homie Planet Asia, and while I'm not too crazy about "Girls" and "Get It In", I can see Jacka's point that his calm, collected delivery can pretty much ride any beat. And though PK warned me not to compare, but rather enjoy his latest offering, I would have liked to hear more of Jacka through the numerous guest appearances. But to be a Bay Area artist is to put your team on, and that contests more to his generous nature, than to his need to name check. He is, after all, the MVP on his team (no Kobe). Go out and cop that. He's been independent and selling records underground way before the recession, so support your local artist and get that in your catalog!

Guest Review: The Hangover
I consider myself a guy’s girl - one that can take penis jokes in jest and “Pause” with the best of them, but quite frankly the Apatow franchise was wearing thin on my patience. Since the success of “Knocked Up”, the formula was hashed and rehashed, ensemble cast shuffled and reshuffled, to the point where it seemed like one long Bromantic SNL skit. Entertaining? Yes. Predictable? Totally. So when I heard that Todd Phillips, the director of “Old School” came up with another Dick Flick entitled “The Hangover”, I dismissed it rather quickly as a DVD rental; one that you played as ambiance at house parties and fast-forwarded to the funny parts after you partook in the smokeage. But when the buzz and spoilers came pouring in via Twitter, I couldn’t ignore it. I had to see what the fuss was about...
