Is this video of Rick Ross’ baby mama. No links. No embedded video. I’m just not going to do it. Look, I’m all for porn. In fact, I’m a pretty big fan. That being said, I have decided to drawn an inconsequential line in the sand and say that I [...]

You Must Learn
-
Artist:
Jay-Z stated in a recent interview that hip-hop has been a large factor in improving race relations in America and around the world.

INDIE 500: “Recession Proof” (Emilio Rojas)
DOWNLOADIts a cliche now, but “keeping it real” is a concept that many promote, but few actually follow. We know the rented Maybachs, the hired crew, the gun and body talk fakery are more the norm than the image portrayed on wax and in music videos. So its with some relief that I had [...]

Will The Chef Raekwon Make Me Eat My Words?
Some of you may remember I opined that Wu-Tang heavyweight Raekwon should stop messing with his classic releases and focus on the future. You can’t blame me - at the time, Rae was dropping Criminology ‘09 and seemed to be largely leaning on his rep rather than hit us with some new hot joints.Now, [...]

5 Reasons We Need To Forgive Vanilla Ice

They were the first real mainstream crossover hit (”Wipeout”) and they even had a movie (”Disorderlies”). On the personal tip, Crushin’ was one of the [...]
