I recently read that Drake is a socially awkward, lip-puckering roody-poo whose best moments happen when he’s off camera. The fact that his videos—from So Far Gone to Thank Me Later—have been met with heavily mixed reviews may validate that person’s opinion just a smidget. But as for the music, several remix projects dedicated to his debut alone give Drizzy immunity from the occasional ribbing. Read the rest of this entry »

He doesn’t gangbang. He doesn’t get hyphy, nor is he planning to teach anyone how to Dougie. The world may not have stood still, but with DaVinci’s early 2010 project of a similar name, the Fillmore District of California received their cold, yet commanding representation in Hip-Hop.

The Last Train To Paris has obviously been derailed off it’s original course of action and I refuse to be sold any wolf tickets to any sort of Detox Dreism on Diddy’s part. There’s more buzz in barbershop clippers than what’s surrounding this album. The only people who care about this album are named Justin: Combs & Tinsley. Read the rest of this entry »

The Art of War is here. Perhaps this is Maino’s statement to his doubters or his call to arms for his supporters. Either way, he’s serving as commander in chief and he’s taking his listeners to battle. In collaboration with DJ Drama and The Aphilliates, Maino spits more of his trademark simple, yet emotional raps that connect with most in some form or another. Jermaine’s found his niche, and revels in it for all to hear in this preemptive strike before The Day After Tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry »

As many people associate Columbus, OH, with rap as they do with hockey. But, believe it or not, the Blue Jackets are a middle-of-the-pack NHL squad and Buckeye country happens to be home to a golden lyricist known as Themidas Touch. Loaded with high-pitched confidence and cocking back hammering braggadocio over a tightly-laced track in, “What U Want,” Read the rest of this entry »

The saying goes that “pimpin’ is in the blood” and Ice Cube’s offspring prove it here as they help Big Pop round up scallywags gone astray for the “She Couldn’t Make It On Her Own” video. Directed by Matt Alonzo and Skee TV, this clip is much more than a rap video; it’s an interactive advertisement. Read the rest of this entry »

In trying to keep up with Scrap Scrap’s music televison grustle, I completely forgot to roll out the main reason for the music in the first place. Scrap Scrap seems done playing Russian roulette with his career and seems more focused than ever since he stopped letting Lil Jon yelling in his ear. Read the rest of this entry »

C’mon Braylon. Let’s be serious here. There’s no way you could still be celebrating your 45 yard, one touchdown performance against the Patroits on Sunday. We know you have that rare skin condition where your fingers naturally produce Land O’Lakes and the probability of you securing a pass is equal to spotting Rex Ryan with a salad, but this is ridiculous.

Antoine Dodson embodies the new American Dream. We’re not speaking of the age old idea that anyone in this great land of opportunity can prosper with the right combination of elbow grease and dedication. The updated version of the dream says we can become rich and famous for doing essentially nothing out of the ordinary. Read the rest of this entry »

Social networking saves lives and ever since Curtis got the hang of Ubertwitter, something crazy happened – he’s seen the most buzz around his name in three years. His entertaining digital ignorance to over three million followers has people talking. And in the music business, talking is good. Tweeting only gets you so far though. At some point, the music has to speak for 50 and this previously unreleased gem is more than a good start. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, Nelly’s solo career will never again measure up to its previous milestones, but his character credibility remains pretty much unblemished. So when it’s his word vs. any other member of the St. Lunatics, who are you really going to believe? Read the rest of this entry »

God’s Favorite has a nostalgic nutcracker on his hands with the lead off jam off his album S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G. No matter how checks Flavor Flav has cashed from VH1, we’ll always remember him as the greatest hypeman of all time during his run with Public Enemy. Norey knows it too as he feeds off his timeless energy. Read the rest of this entry »

The capital S…t-a double l e-y has one helluva street team and marketing angle. In the city that never sleeps, the brains over at Creative Control give him some facetime by sticking his likeness where applicable. Remember, graffiti is one of the main components of Hip-Hop culture and the beard still sticks out in the night’s wee hours. Read the rest of this entry »

Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Got your attention yet? Good. Because it’s been a long time coming for another Harlem Renaissance and it’s finally here in abundance of green goo. Judging from this track and ones you already heard, Vado’s Slime Flu will be multi-layered like a gangsta, flagrant like a gangsta and potent like a gangsta. Any questions?
