The Shrine is having another big week for music and entertainment. Tomorrow is of course the place to be on Tuesday nights, where the youngest in charge, Timbuck2, owns the evening. You really never know who’s going to show up or jump in the booth alongside Tim. FSD will most definitely be in the building….

Video: Rhymefest feat. Phonte – Say Whassup
Directed by Konee Rok Hip-Hop’s first ever 3D music video. Pretty dope, although I don’t have any 3D shades handy to watch it, so my eyes feel like I was staring directly into the sun. El Che drops tomorrow. Pick it up, pick it up.

Video: The Boondocks [Episode 6, Season 3]
Latarian Milton and Juice both get the treatment on this one (and possibly the Good Son?). I bet Latarian never envisioned being compared to Bishop, or even has any idea who Bishop is for that matter. But go out in a blaze if you have to!

R. Kelly – I Don’t Care
Some standard Robert. A tale of a female with her man in the club, and all the while the girl has her eyes on Kells. I know, never heard that one before. Gotta keep that on the down low.
