Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg will be hosting the New York Renaissance SXSW showcase at the North Door in Austin on Thursday. On April 1, he will release a collection of music from the artists and Rocky and Ferg revisit Mad Lion’s intrumental for its first release.
Sharp as a tack for March’s issue of L’Uomo Vogue, here’s one of the reasons why A$AP believes he should have been ranked higher on MTV’s Hottest MC list.
A$AP Rocky’s got a fuckin’ problem. While on Power 106 in L.A. he said he was upset about securing the eighth seed on MTV’s Hottest MCs list. Below is a transcript of why he felt he deserved the number one spot.
All my videos are shitting on any hip-hop video out there, let’s be honest. The reason why everyone is wearing gold again is because of your boy. Everybody’s wearing diamonds. I’m the one that who made the John Lennon shades with the glasses—everybody wearing it now, you see what’s going on now. C’mon, who brought gold teeth back? Let’s be honest…Honestly, I brought it back in a dramatic way. I made braids hot. But, let’s get off trends. Let’s get off trends. How about that? I’m the first artist who grew enough balls to say, “I listen to Geto Boys, Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs N Harmony, N.W.A. and Wu-Tang at the same damn time, what?!” And I’m influenced by all of them. What?!..But moving aside from the fact that I broke boundaries with not only that, but what either rapper is on the cover of Vogue? Forget trends, let’s get off trends. Lets back to the music. Who brought double time back? Who was rapping like Bone? Nobody. [Raps] Ok, whatever. [Raps] Who brought that flow out? I don’t even use it no more. [Raps]Everybody rapping like that., now y’all not even going to notice that? Its frustrating when I’m number eight. Don’t put me at all.
Clearly, Rocky doesn’t lack confidence. With a platinum top 10 single, and number one debut, he deserves to make the cut. But breaking boundaries? Cut. It. Out. Diddy and Jay-Z both have Vogue covers. Gold will always shine—especially in the mouths of Southerners. As far as flows go, Z-Ro, Em, Busta, T.I., Ludacris, Bun B, Freddie Gibbs, Yelawolf and others utilize similar patterns. Remember folks, there’s nothing new under the sun. MTV’s list concludes this Thursday.
From Harlem to Hottest, A$AP Rocky occupies the eighth seed on MTV’s MC roundtable. At the end of the day, rhymes pay.
From the Rick Owens leathers to the Balenciaga finery, there’s no denying A$AP Rocky is a certified fashion killa (you can check his influence in other rapper’s closets). But the Harlem upstart spits more than designer labels from that gold-plated mouth. He followed his lean-drenched mixtape, Live.Love.A$AP, with a chart-topping debut that shows off his versatility and a penchant for crossing state lines when it comes to flow.
Kendrick sold-out the Roseland Ballroom last night with two back-to-back shows for Hot 97′s “5 Boro Takeover Tour”. Aside from his Black Hippy crew, A$AP Rocky hit the stage for ”Fuckin’ Problems” while 50 Cent joined him for their live debut of ”We Up“. If you missed it, BlowHipHopTV has you covered.
UPDATE: Page 31 has TDE: ScHooboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock
Scion ATV gave A$AP the honor to headline their event last night at Brooklyn’s Public Assembly. Above, BlowHipHopTV catches him perform “Angels” and “Fashion Killa” off Long.Live.A$AP for the first time. A$AP Ferg and Bodega BAMZ after the jump.
Tandis qu’à Paris, A$AP Rocky a lancé un freestyle sur ses propres problèmes “putain” sur la radio Générations. Excuse my french.
It’s a New York takeover as A$AP and French split the Feb/Mar cover of XXL. In the issue, A$AP recalls the passing of his father and his parents’ musical influence. French discusses his debut album, 50 Cent and the time he was shot. Peep their solo covers below. All three issues hits newsstands February 19.
