"ZION I up in the party so you know it's just bliss..."

Lately we've been celebrating the life and cultural contribution of Zumbi, the emcee/frontman for eclectic Oakland hip hop crew ZION I.  My favorite ZION I song is apparently HUMAN BEING, off their 2012 album SHADOWBOXING, because I have been bumping it nonstop for the past few days...

New York Rap Legend VAST AIRE Soldiering Through the Death of Both Parents

Our hearts go out to Cannibal Ox front man Vast Aire, who lost his father today.  He already lost his moms last month from complications of Coronavirus.

Remembering the mighty Bill Withers- (LIVE 1972)

These days death is coming down like rain.  
It almost seems unfair to single anyone out.  

But at the risk of being out of order, let's take a minute to appreciate the life and contribution of the late, great Bill Withers.

RIP Stan Lee

All of us here at GhettoManga are saddened by the passing of iconic Marvel comics writer Stan Lee.  

#NowPlaying APARTHEID by the immortal SEAN PRICE f/ Buckshit + Steele #riP!

Last week Duck Down Records dropped a video for Apartheid, which is almost universally considered the dopest track on Imperius Rex, the posthumous Sean Price album.

R.I.P. Project Wonderful

I discovered blogging in 2006.  I never spent a dime out of my pocket for advertising my blog back then, because Project Wonderful enabled me to flip my existing traffic into ads on webcomic sites, video game forums, and more.

SUNDAY COMICS- Celebrating Steve Ditko + New Comic Strip + Free Custom Comic Strip Contest

A few words about the late, great Steve Ditko

We at GhettoManga are heartbroken to hear about the passing of the mighty Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-man, Doctor Strange, the Question, the Creeper, Shade the Changing Man, and Hawk and Dove.

"I'm on a mission from the Kingdom of God. Do away with emcees representin' Nimrod" -Craig Mack #rip

I was shocked this morning to find out that Craig Mack, one of my favorite rappers of the golden era of Bad Boy Records, has died near his home in Walterboro, South Carolina.

RIP Lein Wein, co-creator of the All-New All-Different X-Men

#NowPlaying- "3 Lyrical P's" by SEAN PRICE f/ Prodigy + Styles P #riP

Just heard this new Sean Price track 3 Lyrical Ps (f/ Prodigy & Styles P) on YouTube... Soooo I drew a gorilla?  Yes.  That's how it works...

New video IMPERIUS REX by Sean Price #riP!

Yeah, peep the brand new animated video for title track to Sean Price's upcoming posthumous album Imperius Rex, courtesy of the fine folks at Duck Down... 

Best. Prodigy. Tribute. Ever. #ripProdigy

 People are always questioning the hip hop credibility of Marvel, saying it's just a "money grab" doing the hip hop tribute covers.  I say that's bullshit, because dudes I know at Marvel  like Deadpool artist Mike Hawthorne sweat hip hop, son.  He shared these two sketches from his Little RED Sketchbook today in remembrance of the recent passing of legendary emcee Prodigy of Mobb Deep...

"You bastards overlooking street art, better yet street smarts, but you keep us off the charts..." -Phife Dawg #rip

I'll add words later.  For now:

sigh. . .

That dude @CFluxSing SMASHED the artwork for that PHIFE "Nutshell" Serato Vinyl!

"I didn't think I could miss." -Meadowlark Lemon, on career 70% shooting accuracy. #rip

I was not into sports as a kid, but I eventually became nuts for basketball, and part of the credit (blame?) for that rest firmly on the broad shoulders of George "Meadowlark" Lemon III, the self-styled Clown Prince of Basketball. Before Jordan, Iverson, or Lebron could get my attention, I was introduced to Meadowlark as a child in the seventies, when he was the star of the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon shows (his character was voiced by Scatman Caruthers, but I didn't know that at the time), and their many appearances on Scooby-Doo.

#nowPlaying Roc Marciano "Snow" f/@SeanPrice (@RobViktum remix) #riP!

Sigh... I get periodically bummed about the recent passing of the mighty Sean Price. My dude Rob Viktum feels me... Here's a remix he did of that Roc Marciano joint Snow that Ruck featured on...
