Truthfully speaking, New York City hasn’t had much to be proud as far as emcees go as of late. Of course, there are a few bright spots but most of the headlines from the NYC rap scene have been about who’s being arrested or how so and so is beefing with whomever. Mid-90s, it was hard to get on the map in Hip Hop if you were from anywhere else but now, it’s the complete opposite. Skyzoo happens to

Chamillionaire’s path to success embodies the strength of his hustle and the meaning of triumph. He went from being shafted for mixtape money by his old label, Swishahouse, to publicly beefing with longtime friend and business partner, Paul Wall, to platinum plus album sales, numerous awards and becoming the first artist to ever achieve triple platinum status ringtone sales for his collaboration

For Joe Budden, the only way to keep his name buzzing in the streets is by keeping a presence on the mixtape circuit. Budden has only had one studio album, his self-titled debut, which came out about four years ago. It’s now 2007 and you’re still liable to hear Budden’s name mentioned in a conversation about rappers who could possibly inherit the rap game. Why, you ask; he’s just that good. He’s

Few have a discography that rivals Lonnie Lynn’s (Common). Given his incessant consistency, sheer ingenuity, unfathomable depth and sharp lyricism, you have to mention Common’s name when you’re having the discussion of who’s the greatest emcee of all time. His status was further solidified by his sixth album, Be, that was hailed by many as a classic. Coming off of critical and commercial success

Yesterday, I was reading Meka Soul's blog on HipHopDX. It's basically about the besmirching of the word classic. Only in Hip Hop do cats throw the word classic around every 5-10 days with albums that are usually worth less then a "blowski" (word to Bol) from a chick with long teeth and gingivitis (sorry female readers of the blog). Here's how Dictionary.com defines a classic "an author or a

Betwixt all the tomfoolery that went on with the two above this is the product (one out of the many tracks they supposedly collabed on). I think this is supposed to be Saigon's single, although I thought "Pain In My Life" was the single but I figured that wouldn't last b/c it's just a little bit too real for the radio.

Thank God I was born in the early 80s. I was privileged enough to come into age during a time when Hip Hop peaked (and when rap music, generally, didn't blow balls)For awhile, I've been avoiding writing long diatribes about how rap (not Hip Hop) is about as enjoyable as dual root canals but...what can I say, the shit really sucks right now.

Hip Hop is decrepit, decaying and on its last leg and shit's looking a little shaky to say the least. There's no doubt in my mind that if Pharoahe could brick--sales-wise--with as close as one's been to a classic in years with Desire then it might be time to hang it up on this Hip Hop shit.

Hip Hop is dead has become a commonplace nuance in discourse about the current state of rap music. Similarly, ingenuity in R&B has died down as well as it appears musicians (both rappers and singers) no longer carry the passion for their crafts that they once did. So, it’s refreshing to stumble upon a project like DJ 2Tall Presents…Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow-Beautiful Mindz. Each of

The melee that ensued between Clifford Harris (T.I.) and Chaka Zulu, Ludacris’ manager, provides an intriguing backdrop for T.I.’s concept album, T.I. vs. T.I.P. It makes you wonder, are there really two different personalities within him or is this some grandiose promo charade. This idea initially manifested itself on Trap Muzik on a track titled “T.I. vs. T.I.P.” but now, we get to see this

In today’s rap terrain, it’s becoming more and more difficult to support the music. While a handful of bright emcees make you feel proud to be apart of this culture, a swarm of others make you want to shun it. Talib Kweli is apart of the elite that reside in the first group. It’s been a long journey since the Blackstar album, and it seems Talib has been getting closer and closer to finding his

Pharoahe Monch-DesireIt’s been almost a decade since Internal Affairs, Pharoahe Monch’s debut solo LP, dropped. In rap, that’s an eternity. To say Pharoahe Monch has been ghost would be an understatement. I could write about whose projects Pharoahe Monch ghostwrote for or about how much drama he’s had with record labels or how highly anticipated this album is to so many people but cats really

I think the first time I heard about this group, they were performing at MJQ Concourse which is down here in the A. Nicolay was performing too. In hindsight, I should've went b/c that's a really dope bill but I think I elected to sit on my ass and watch Sportscenter which was a great choice then, not so much now.

It's no secret that I don't have high hopes for this album but this track is a step in the right direction. This track is about millionaires showing how gully they are as if they'll have to prove themselves in the streets...I guess you're never too rich for street cred. I'd sell out and never give a shit what the hood thought but hey that's just me. Oh, props to Hip Hop Dx for the track (which

I found out about Kimbo Slice (the most hardbody human being EVAR (pause, no fruity)) today. I saw him wreck about 10 dudes via Best of K. Slice knockout reel on YouTube and then I came across the video below. Kimbo, your reign on the top was short like leprechauns. Regardless of that, if I had to go toe to toe w/duke I'd jump off of a building and that's real talk.

Sometimes weed can assist in the creative process. JRawls (the producer) and Declaime (the rapper) use blunts as their muse while they peruse the sin city, Vegas. There's singing, rapping, quasi spoken word, pimp talk and well placed interludes from Vegas variety shows. The LP has the feel of bright lights, big city. I love the shit. Maybe you will too. If not I'm sorry I wasted your time (Not).

Here's another artist I never really gave a chance. After alternative radio stations played "Bucky Done Gun" a billion times, I was ready to stone M.I.A. for peeling my eardrums back. But, her new track "Boyz" that I heard was kind of crack--got the video somewhere below--so me and my good friend downloadable torrent hooked up and found M.I.A. and all her friends like Diplo, Hollertronix and a

So, recently on one of my blogs that I used for here and my other blog on Hip Hop DX, I mentioned Saigon. I said something along the lines of who the fuck is this guy and why is he receiving so much press for bitchin about his album getting shelfed.

Just a few things people need to fall back on...1. The "I Really Think Hip Hop is Dead" AssertionNas' album title accomplished exactly what he set out to do. 1) To make a bold statement about the current state of Rap/Hip Hop 2) to open up dialogue amongst the fans and 3) to cause a shiteload of controversy, which in turn equates to album sells/$$$. Good job Nas. Is Hip Hop really dead though???

If you're into rap, and some of the readers of this blog are not, you've probably heard that Stack Bundles of Dipset fame was violently murdered in front of his home this morning. So I'll say my piece on Stack. I don't know what his voice sounds like. I couldn't name a track he was on and I don't think he ever released an album (besides myriad shithole Dipset mixtapes). But I'll say this b/c I'm

A champagne bottle to the dome could really hurt your career. I was listening to Fab's SHITBAG album and MO's buried on the second to last track.

It's crazy I was telling my dude the other day I should write about how I thought Lupe was probably moving weight, but some other things occured to me especially after I read 1) the XXL Bol Blog and 2) heard an interesting quote on "Us Placers" that has the boy really convinced Lupe may have been getting his kick, push on for real... First quote (shout out to Bol at XXL) “I push rocks, dawg.” -

The Carter 3 has stirred up more buzz then both TI vs TIP and Curtis and it doesn't even have a release date yet. Last I know, it was going to be released early 2008. Neither 50 nor ti have generated buzz with their singles which both lick taint. Lil Wayne on the other hand has garnered uddles of attention with his trippy "I Feel Like Dyin" and "La La La" which is a newer track that will probably

Circa 98/99 Rawkus was in full effect pumping out compilations like Soundbombing, Lyrcist Lounge and in general had hip hop on lock. Mos Def and Talib were building up steam on the underground. If my memory doesn't fail me, Mos started appearing more on Native Tongue posse cuts (alot of De La and Tribe features), Talib had some hot verses out and Blackstar (collectively) was being hailed as the

So, I was just thinking about hip hop classics a la Ready to Die, Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Cuban Linx and something just occured to me. Almost every hip hop classic (barring Tribe/De La classics) has some references to slingin' crack, blow, coke or heroine. I'm not going to go into the history of rap and its allusions to the dope game because I don't have the time to scan the lyrics of all the

Peep Pimp C's hat (what a fool), the dude dancing on the alter (man, that n***a is snappin') and the side boobie shot at the end (sweet). And why does the Bishop kiss that chick? Didn't quite understand that. This is a dope video with mad cameos. Love UGK, love Kast. Dope track even though the beat has been used 100X. Without further adieu

Recently, I was reading a blog about dope black movies and made me think...After 2 minutes of solid thought. I've decided that New Jack City is illest black movie ever. How many pull quotes are there from this movie? Honestly, there has to be at least 10; including favorites as "sit your two dollar ass down," "rock-a-bye-baby" and "I want to shoot you so bad my dick hard" (no fruity). It had

Stones Throw was hip to Gary Wilson but they might be the only muthafuckers who are. This nicca plays like 5 instruments or some shit (no exaggeration: guitar, bass, drums, piano and cello). I first heard about him on Chrome Children. Then I copped some of his shit for the freelo on some trial e-music shit (who lets you download 24 tracks for free and then expect you to stay onboard. cat's must

I remember when this shit just came out. My thoughts: "Yes, model sluts on tv and perhaps brief scenes of nudity (i.e. nips, cooter shoots)" and I indeed watched it for a couple of episodes. The starved chicks kinda didn't do it for me, but this is all a digression. Me being from the AUC, I took a personal interest when Eva from CAU was on there. Despite her bitchy attitude she still ended up

Who doesn't know Rick's story. Dope artist, unique voice, provocative, climaxed with Street Songs, cracked out made a couple of hits after that album. yea, probably not the best description but that's what wiki is for. Anyways, here's what we know him for Cooooold Bloooded.If y'all want more ricky let me know.

Yea, it's Leon from the Temptations movie aka David Ruffin (yea, that's transposed, but y'all know what I'm saying); another cat who caught up on the dope. He could sing his ass off and yes, Kanye sampled him numerous times too i.e. Blueprint . Read about him. Feel him. The second link is a link to David Ruffin's track "Common Man" which mysteriously years later changed into Jay's "Never Change."

Some of you may or may not know who Gil Scott Heron is. I guarantee Kanye does though. He's probably sampled Gilbert about 5-10x, Real talk. Like most great artists who came up during his time 60-70s, Gil got caught up w/the heroine but he's the spoken word artist responsible for "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" Yea, that's him. Read about him. Most of his music that I've heard, contains

A year ago, I was arguing with some of my homies about how I thought D Wade was better than Bron Bron. I made said assertion because then, in the clutch, Wade-ums was money and on the contrary, Bron was passing first and looking a bit sheepish when the clock winded down plus Wade had the ring. A year later...LBJ is a man(pause). I wasn't even watching the game until overtime and I saw the kid

Yea, it's lightweight lame but I've always been a fan of the Real World. Back when Puck (look down...yea this guy)was spittin on bitches and calling the gay dude a fag (real talk), I was watching it or when that black flaming moe (I think Stephen) slapped that white chick because she called him a homo.

As much hate as dude receives, I actually like his music. "I Feel Like Dying" is one of the most trippy Lil Wayne tracks I've heard and serves as more proof that Wayne is probably high more than he is sober. Check it out at thefader.com right chea. I can't decide if I fucks with it or not. Y'all let me know.

I remember the first time I heard that Kanye and Pharrell would pair up for that track off Pharrell's In My Mind. I thought they were about to change the game. Then they dropped that boo boo. Man, that shit was wack. I was expecting some otherworldly shit like this new "Us Placers" featuring Lupe Tobasco. Anyway thank, Spine Magazine for hosting it on their site. I jacked the link from Gorilla v.

No homo jokes, no talk about Ye' being overrated or an egotistical moron. Just a post of his new mixtape. And let me tell you the shit is FRESH. I'm looking forward to the Graduation album.

So, I’ve heard T.I.’s first couple of tracks from T.I. Vs. T.I.P. and I can’t help but think “looks like I’ll have another weed plate soon.” Well, I wouldn’t say that because I wouldn’t buy the cd anyway but still you get the point; T.I. next lp = shitty album in the making. Coupled with the fact, the dude is working with Wyclef on a number of tracks (yeah, the dude that napalmed Canibus’ career/

They've toured with Rae and Wu playing back up making old school Wu shit even doper than it was...They don't rap. They don't sing. They don't beef with other musicians to get pub.

Another Ye track leaked. I scooped it from another blog. It sounds like some real down south shit with the organs and horns (DJ Toomp-ish from Young Jeezy fame). Tidda even threw some Jeezy adlib samples on there too. Ironic, I was just talking about Jeezy. On the track, Ye rhymes about using cake to escape his problems.
