broken cool.

Thank You

I was going to write out a long drawn out post in regards to no longer pursuing brokencool.com in its current daily, updated form....but instead I simply want to say thank you to the readers of the blog and the publicists, labels, artists and bloggers I've worked with on brokencool. I enjoyed creating original content for you to check out and keeping you informed on the daily goings on in the world of Hip-Hop. If I had to suggest another place for you to check on a daily basis to keep informed, I would suggest two:

RapRadar.

The Smoking Section.

Until the next time...

broken covers - Entry #20

There are a lot of great covers of songs on YouTube...there are also a ton of terrible ones that make you wonder whether or not the people who invented the web cam regret the advancement in technology now. Each week broken cool will bring you some of those terrible and/or odd covers in a new feature called "broken covers."

Ukulele? Check. Terrible rapping? Check. Apologizing for messing up the last part of the song when you actually screwed up the whole thing? Check:

Someone actually wrote as a comment on this video "This was real tight!" Really? Which part?
