2014 Fall TV Review: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Premiere


Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. started off as a show I wasn't very fond of.  Now it is must see TV for me, and guess what...it's back!

Also, SPOILERS!!!  I only go into the first 20 minutes of the show, and there is a lot of things that happen in that short amount of time.

NFL Week 3 Recap: 5 On It


Welcome back. Week 3 has passed us, and so far no news of any running backs getting indicted over the weekend. I guess things are looking up for Goodell and Company. Once again, I'm here to give you my top five stand-out moments of the week. Get your popcorn ready (do people still say that?).

2014 Fall TV Review: Gotham


Before there was Batman, there was Gotham.  The dark and seedy city, where crime and corruption thrive.  Our hero in FOX's take on the DC comics classic city, is not the Caped Crusader, but rather Detective James Gordon, played by Ben McKenzie.

AAHH Fest 2014: Set-By-Set Review


Last night, Chicago hip-hop legend Common treated his hometown to one hell of a show, and I was lucky enough to bare witness to it all (well most of it). The name: AAHH Fest. The venue: Union Park. Let's just say I got to cross a few things off my musical bucket list last night.

Here's my rundown of possibly the greatest homegrown hip-hop concert in the Windy City's history.

(Sidebar: Much love goes out to DJs Jermaine, Vince Adams, Timbuk2, and Wayne Williams who all spun masterful sets with nothing but grown folks house and hip-hop jams.)

Man, this season needs to slow down. Week 2 is already in the rear-view mirror, and the Jets are already in full-choke mode. Eli is still stuck on the struggle bus, and Roger Goodell is still on the hot seat. Here's what stood out for us this week.

Happy NFL Kickoff 2014 Day!!!


Man, after a summer of sports limited to soccer and baseball snooze-fests, I am so happy to have football back! Being that I'm a Bears fan, I will be rooting for the defending champs tonight against the Cheeseheads. We only got it for 5 months, so soak it all in people. You're welcome.

Ice Cube ft. Redfoo & 2 Chainz - Drop Girl (Remix)


Umm, normally I don't post songs like this, but Ice Cube on an EDM track is not something you see everyday. I don't apologize. You're welcome.

Russell Simmons & Rick Rubin Discuss Def Jam Origins


I don't know about you, but I can listen to Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin talk about the early days of Def Jam all day. Here would be 3 minutes of that day. Enjoy. You're welcome.

#QuickBlurb 2014 Fall TV Preview: 7 Best Returning Characters


Howdy...um...that didn't fell right, let me try that again.

Welcome to QuickBlurb's first foray into previewing this year's fall television line-up. Before we dig into the unknown, I find it best to help us remember what, or rather, who will give us comfort as summer comes to a close and we turn back into filthy couch potatoes.

Kids Like Us X Beak Nasty Interview @ SummerSet Music Fest 2014


We're a couple festivals late, but fuck it.

A couple of weeks back, QuickBlurb sent our man on the street, Riz, to the rough it at the SummerSet Music and Camping Festival in Wisconsin. Riz got a chance to chop it up with Kids Like Us and Beak Nasty.

These hip-hop upstarts from Minnesota gave Riz a lot of insight on their musical influences (Green Day???), the Minneapolis hip-hop scene (much love for Slug and Ant), their stance on being independent (it's the shit), and other things.

The best part is Riz was coherent enough to get it recorded. Take a listen to the audio. You're welcome.
