Coke-rapper Troy Ave will drop his BSB Volume 2 mixtape this coming Wednesday. “Bad Bitches,” featuring Smoke DZA & Young Lito, is a pretty potent gram from that upcoming brick.  This joint sounds like it was designed for the stripclubs but it’ll bang on the block too.  I gotta give it to Troy Ave, the […]

A lot of people, especially youngsters with no sense of Hip-Hop history or street lore, will read this headline and think rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was killed. However, I’m referring to Kelvin “50 Cent” Martin, the legendary stick-up kid from whom Mr. Jackson borrowed the moniker. The original 50 Cent is from Fort Greene, […]

Happy Black History Month. If Twitter existed back in the 80′s, everyone would’ve been on the edge of their seats, frantically tweeting about Larry Davis the way they did about Christopher Dorner.  On November 19th, 1986 Davis shot and injured six New York City police officers during a raid on his sister’s apartment in the […]

Rappers love to say, “My life is a movie.”  Those lames have absolutely nothing on Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings, which include the death of a police officer.  There’s a serious manhunt for Dorner right now and this ongoing story, filled with the plot twists and bloodshed of […]

Hickok45 (the most skilled, popular and entertaining gun nut on the internet) dropped some new videos of him blastin’ shit up with an arsenal of intimidating shotguns.  For the uninitiated, Hickok45 has enough guns to arm a small nation and he’s so nice with the steel, he can carve a face into a pumpkin with […]

After reading the international gangster shit posted at this blog, someone asked me a theoretical question: “Yakuza vs. Zetas… who’d win?” Hmmmm… both of those criminal organizations are pretty hardcore so it’s tough to say.  It’s a concept that makes for a kick-ass crossover movie, ala Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason.  As much […]

Recently, chickens have come home to roost for some of the world’s most brutal drug lords.  Infamous “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco was gunned down in her native Colombia last month… a long overdue slaying.  Gotta respect a woman who claws her way to the top of a male-dominated coke game but if anyone deserved those […]

The Japanese Yakuza is a notoriously secretive crime organization… inaccessible to outsiders.  But Belgian-based photographer Anton Kusters and his brother, Malik, became the first westerners invited into the criminal underworld in 2008, after 10 months of negotiations with the Shinseikai, who control Tokyo’s infamous red light district, Kabukicho. Kusters must be a master in the […]

It’s always cause for celebration when the police suffer a crushing loss… literally, in this case. The Spizzy’s Person of the Week is Roger Pion, a farmer from Newport, Vermont. Mr. Pion was pissed-off about his arrest for marijuana possession last month, so he drove a tractor to the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department and steamrolled […]

The Jekyll & Hyde image above, shot in sunny Acapulco, pretty much sums up the drug violence in Mexico.  Happy tourists enjoy a day at the beach, totally oblivious to the bloody corpse laying behind a wall, several feet away.  Not only is this a microcosm of Mexico’s clashing lifestyles; it also reflects the duality […]
