When the space aliens or God finally make their way back here to see what we’ve been up to for the last hundred years, it is our only hope that someone hips them to Philebrity and they find this post. And yay, they shall laugh with great mirth at “Limo sex on Walnut St Pt1″ [...]

More and more, it’s looking that way.

“OK, Rocky may have been snubbed,” [Michael] Nutter said, “but there were still a lot of great films released this year. Just not as great as Rocky.”

Known by many for his work in the indie hip-hop scene over the last six or seven years, where he’s remixed/done beats for everyone from Aesop Rock to Astrud Gilberto, RJ’s latest [...]
