With or without the MMG billing, Pill’s lyrical holocaust is keeping his name spreading across Twitter and random MTV tidbits like a plague. He nearly overdosed on swag his previous project with DJ Drama but his refill and re-up were potent enough for him to be diagnosed as a problem for this very moment. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s nothing above and beyond about this video for DJ Kay Slay’s double-time assembly of “60 Second Assassins.” But, for whatever reason, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the bare-bones Rhyme Or Die visual. Read the rest of this entry »

If you follow Just Blaze on Twitter, you felt his frustration late last week, when he thumbed the message above, indicating an unsanctioned leak of an incomplete song he produced for Twista and Busta Rhymes was about to cause a sh!t-storm of legal ramifications. Read the rest of this entry »

Man, if this Mike Posner joint doesn’t get posted soon, we’re going to be 24 hours behind every damn one of these songs he’s dropping each day until The Layover finally takes off next Tuesday. The nerve of the guy. Read the rest of this entry »

No matter how many MCs submit music to the masses on the regular, certain skills can separate the masters from the morsels in an instant. One of the more clearly defined of those traits is the ability to recite words with both speed and precision. Read the rest of this entry »

Rock ‘N Rollin’, rollin’ rock, now matter the sentiment, Travis Barker is Hip-Hop. On paper, the match-up of Busta Rhymes, Twista and Yelawolf sounds like match made in rapid rap heaven, and with Lil Jon acting as the ringleader, they definitely don’t disappoint. Kudos to the extras in the clip because there’s no possible way any sits still while this is being blasted in your ear. Read the rest of this entry »

If rap doesn’t pan out, YC will undoubtedly go on to become a dairy farmer. He’s been milking this “racks on racks on racks” shit for all it’s worth on top of an extra line of credit. No need to play the blame game, however. Record labels are still rolling out all the stops for obvious one-hit wonders so it’s get in where you fit in until the cow tipping season comes to a halt.

It’s honorable that Da Brat, unlike Shyne and Mystikal, hopped right back into the studio after a lengthy bid in the slammer. But Life After Death, though? Yung Joc recently had bouts with Biggie slander, and now Shawntae is trying to steal a chunk of Christopher’s Google searches. But we’re here for the music as previously stated, Chicago’s own is still serious about calling her rap time a career.

Assisting with the Brat resurrection is Twista, Jadakiss, Brandon Hines and your host, DJ Greg Street. The name may be borrowed but make no mistake that Da B-R-A-T is the original platinum female MC.

Nearly a month to the day after dropping their Chicago summer inspired lullaby, Mikkey Halsted and Twista double up with the liberation of the video prescription to “Linen.” The two Chi-Town Blackhawks tour the city with enough eye candy to produce cavities as they explain the fruits of the Windy City’s much beloved sights when there isn’t 30 feet of snow on the ground.

Back when their fellow Chi-Town homie still went by Tung Twista, Midwest trendsetters Do or Die were rapping a lot like some of your favorite rappers do now: fast flowing with lyrical content fit for a trip to the re-up spot. Read the rest of this entry »

Summertime Chi

As life would have it, I was only able to spend a few months as a Chicago resident. At least it was during the summer though. The city was alive with culture, food, history, sports and the best mild sauce man could ever ask for. Not to mention, the Ralph Lauren store on Michigan Avenue still brings a lone tear to my eye. Had I still paid been paying my taxes in the Chi, Mikkey Halsted’s summertime ready “Linen” would find itself as apart of my daily routine. Read the rest of this entry »

In the previous decade, Tech N9ne built his name around his unorthodox styles of rap. Whether it was the face paint, hairstyles, or double-time flow, you knew it was his when you heard a Neezle song and nothing about it could not be imitated. Read the rest of this entry »

“Never slippin, I’m ballin, Puff keep on callin’
I don’t see none of you pussies, fuck that shit you be talkin’
Rep Miami the ghettos, every hood and the projects
And when I drop off my singles, I’m droppin’ one of my targets
Lord forgive me for my siiiiiinnnnns, I gave you hits
I gave you “All I Do Is Wiiiiiiiiinnnnnn” Read the rest of this entry »

Twista’s The Perfect Storm may have gave us little reason to take out that severe weather insurance policy, but if his bonus track’s visual with crooner Lloyd is any indication of his current status, everything has been sunny on his side of things this past winter. Read the rest of this entry »

Can you believe this? In anticipation for his Cash Money debut We The Best Forever, the possibly deaf DJ Khaled has the nerve to call up damn near every rapper registered to ASCAP and BMI combined for his open-armed remix to “Welcome to My Hood,” but leaves out the one guy you would just assume to be featured.
