Rap Radar

The voice of Reflection Eternal takes you back in the latest from VIBE‘s 60/60 series:

“Me and Hi-Tek had a little EP called Ground Ish [and] I was trying to get them to put out the first song from that and by mistake I played the song Fortified Live from my cassette tape. I wasn’t even trying to play that record in the meeting and they heard it and they were like, ‘What’s that?’ And I said, “Oh, this some shit we working on” and it wasn’t mixed or nothing. They was like, “’We can put that out right now and we can give you a video.’ And that was my first record with them.”

That joint was hot. 

Sidebar: YN will be at the Black Star reunion show this weekend. Flip cam armed and dangerous. Proceed with caution.

Here’s the reunited crew performing their biggest hit at a recent show at The Filmore. I’m old enough to recall when this tune tickled the ladies fancies like the “Best I Ever Had”. Do you remember the time?

Pardon: The somewhat shaky camera work.

Salutations: Always Hustle

Here’s a leak, (no pun intended) off Chester The Molester’s upcoming The Demo Tape with DJ Skee and DJ Drama. After a quick listen, I’m starting to believe Robert’s best days are behind him.

Estelle Cohen: Fuck Off

In the teaser for Reggie and Clif’s upcoming web series, the Buddah Bros. talk to Ed Lover about hip-hop’s best era, the 1990s.  1998 > [Your favorite year here]

DJ Smallz checks in with the producers of the year while cooking something marvelous at Officer Ricky’s precinct house.

Marshall should extend his services to 90% of the game. O’kay?!

With KRS-One looking on, Killer Killer from Adamsville tears the mic to shreds at Hip-Hop Appreciation Week at The Loft in Atlanta. This guy’s underrated like a bad report card.
