So I have had something niggling at my neck for a while and I’m starting to feel like the idea of an “smash hit” album no longer exists. Artists are at the point where they will put out mixtape after mixtape and then never drop anything that sends them soaring into a God-like status. When …
Cons to the Quence, i was really geared up for his sophmore album, with production coming from Kanye and Q-tip(his cousin) it seemed like the stars where finally aligning for him. He had a listening session for his album back in 2009, reviewers/bloggers that where present all had good things to say about his new …
Ok, Just a quick rant. Why is the current trend to mix rap with dance music? These two things only work in small doses, Rappers need to stay clear of this crap, rap is a powerful and heavy music mean to hit you like a truck and tell you a story or message. Why do …
So T.I’s supposed first release since prison was set to feature Big K.R.I.T. and is even going to be produced by Krit himself. Very good look for T.I. to get one of the best new rappers to jump on his new single and even produce it. Which for T.I is a very good look, more …
Now I’ve gotta be honest, I hadn’t really listened to Theophilus London at all. However, after last night’s Big Boi concert (Which was fucking awesome) where he was the opening act. I gotta say this guy defiantly has a awesomely unique style. He was real humble too, signing shirts and cd’s and I even got …
This is his first release since his fallout with the G.O.O.D. music family. Consequence left accusing Pusha T of biting his style and Kanye West for not promoting his album more. I mean, your boy did get to release one album, but it was no where near the strength of Kanye’s releases (or Commons or …
By now most of the world knows the names Kanye West and Jay Z. Love them or hate them, when this album was announced, if you love Hip hop with any passion at all you knew this would be big. Game changingly big. After a few scares (H.A.M…seriously WTF?!) The tracklist settled and we waited.. …
Another signee to Jay Z’s new record label RocNation, Jay Electronica has been quiet for a while now I’m thinking Jay Z probably wanted to promote watch the throne and your boy J. Cole’s album which is coming out september 27th. Whether or not Jay Electronica would sell a million isn’t important. His fans will …
I know most of you are still bumpin Watch the Throne (Gotta have it x Murder to Excellence are my shit). An album came out the day after watch the throne and i think it may have gotten overlooked by a few of you. Ski Beatz’s 24 Hour Karate School part II came out, name doesn’t …
Drake is dropping his second album this year and songs have been leaking on to the internet over the past couple months. However, his official single just dropped. Verdict?, it’s aiight… The reason I’m actually excited for his new album is because of all the recent interviews he has been dropping saying that he’s taking …
Over the years there have been many great hip hop collaborations, but what about the ones that just never came to fruition? There’s a long list of them, many lost and forgotten. So, I’m going to run through some of the most sought after ones, just as a reminder. Ok, up first we have Lil …
Man, It’s great when rapper’s in the spotlight collaborate, especially when it’s with the kings of hip-hop. However, sometimes we let a few things slide when we know they are better than that. I’m not taking shots here, but let’s take as example Drake on his album, Thank Me Later. He has a song called …
This year is turning out to be a great one for rap, Odd Future came out on the scene in full impact and it seems like this years rap game is in Tyler, the creator‘s hands. Tech N9ne‘s new album is out landed at number 4 on the billboard charts, the long awaited reunion album …
