Well, according to Nelly, he’s new & improved with his Mustang’ed sixth album Nelly 5.0. The upgraded version seemingly dates to 2006 with the Konvict Muzik cartel spearheading his single releases. But it’s important to remember that popularity shouldn’t dictate musicianship so if a trio of senior Hip-Hop citizens can still get the fairer sex to pop on a handstand, we as a whole need to stand up and endorse them.

Remember back a few months ago when word surfaced that JD was in studio working on a remix to “Secret Garden”? Even with his penchant for remixes, the idea to dabble with such a classic song came totally out of left field. Well, it turns out that his remix will have a home on Quincy Jones’ upcoming remix project Q: Soul Bossa Nostra. Read the rest of this entry »
Dedicated to the upcoming days where tig ‘ol bitties and volumptrous rumps will be bouncing in our faces as they scurry across the beach, the Konvict tandem of Kardi & Akon are gearing up for summer ’10.

As record sales keep slumping for bigger acts and concert money becomes more essential to funding artists’ lavish livelihoods, curiosity leads one to ponder how much our favorite acts pull in per show. Can reliable ticket-buyers cover a debut dud? Is a concert check worthy of the sleepless grind? Do bottles of Ace line the dressing room when Jay-Z comes into town? How about home-fried hookers when Uncle Luke makes the rounds? Read the rest of this entry »

Shyne makes his long-awaited return to audio after being buried alive. And if you were waiting on greatness well…perhaps he has to shake the cobwebs off. Or maybe it’s Khaled’s presence that’s tarnishing the experience. I was hoping for a triumphant return, not this lethargic offering – from the delivery to the beat surrounding it – from all the parties involved. Read the rest of this entry »
When it comes to an aspiring MC’s career, a solid rap name is just important their actual talent. Coming up with that proper moniker, however, isn’t always so easy. In a world were reinforcement rules, the descriptive variability can be taken so many ways. Dumbed down or desperately deep. Dickies or leotard Levis. Big or Lil.’ Kid or Man. Hot or cold. Government or given. There are so many choices, but technically, it doesn’t really even matter. It’s not about what it says or means, as much it’s about how well it can be pushed to the people. See: Mike Jones. Read the rest of this entry »
A category F5 twister is impossible to predict. Though many storms can hit a landscape promising damaging winds, they rarely come through with the anticipated ferocity. After a few storms in Twista’s catalogue that produced little more than a few forgettable showers, the Chi-town spitter is back and unleashing his patented double-time flow the likes of which we haven’t heard since since his breakout LP Kamikaze for his latest tempest of an album Category F5.

What a difference 6 months can make. Regardless of whether the stars were aligned or back room deals took place, Ace Hood was poised for the short track to success. Backed by DJ Khaled, Rick Ross & the Def Jam machine, his inclusion in XXL’s ‘08 Top Ten Freshman Class, coincided with the release of his debut album Gutta. Looking to build upon the tepid response to it, he’s already back with his sophomore effort Ruthless. After the expeditious completion of his freshman year, it’s time for him to declare a major and stop the exploratory nature of being undecided.
Ace’s biggest problem is his lack of identity. One minute he’s the ultimate hustler controlling the corner, the next minute he’s the ladies man and in between he’s deadest on convincing he came up so destitute that you’d be a fool not to root for his success. The perfect analogy for this is in the movie American Gangster when Mrs. Lucas is trying to convince her son Read the rest of this entry »
