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.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.DotMemories don’t live like people do. But T.I. and his comrades reflect on their past relationships. These verses are three times dope. Download the track on iTunes here.
K-Dot is heading back to school. And starting next week, he’ll be trekking throughout the country for his college tour. After the jump, see if this good kid is hitting a city near you.
UPDATE: Following his college tour, K-Dot’s globetrotting for his good kid, m.A.A.D. city tour and he’s bringing his Black Hippy crew with him. Remaining college shows and world tour dates below.
How many beverages does it to take to bounce with Miguel? While your girlfriend ponders that question, check out his new video with Kendrick Lamar. The original track can be found on Kaleidoscope Dream.
Track seven off Miguel’s Kaleidoscope Dream gets reupholstered with a verse from Kendrick Lamar. Unless we’ve been drinking, Lil Kenny sounds a lil’ like Lil Wayne.
Kendrick and Schoolboy were in Atlanta, the TDE All-Stars kicked it with DJ Drama. During the sit-down, Kendrick talked about his performance at George State and Illmore at SXSW. He also touched on his Hottest MC crown and missed Nas collabo. Afterward Q talks about making this year’s XXL’s freshman cover.
With locking in last year’s top rap and R&B albums, K-Dot and Miguel point the fingers on VIBE‘s upcoming “Big List” issue. Peep the excerpt below and their individual covers after the jump.
You’re both carrying the torch as the leaders of the new generation. How do you define musical genius?
KENDRICK: Somebody that don’t really have any boundaries, that’s not confined to the traditional structure of a song or traditional sounds. When you listen to “Adorn,” it feels like he’s not even trying to structure a radio joint. He just felt the music, felt the instrumentation and wrote the track.
MIGUEL: Good looks, bro. My favorite artists always took whatever they loved out of music and made it their own. It was their take on it. Kendrick is one of those people where I can hear Ice Cube’s first two albums’ influence. I get the street edge, but then I hear like the poetic player, smoothness, creativity and smart street savvy of Andre on Aquemini. That juxtaposition is what I hear in Kendrick, but it’s his own take. If you listen to my shit, you’re gonna hear Prince, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin or a little bit of the Beatles. That’s where I’m pulling from.
Move over MTV. Down in Austin for SXSW, Top Dawg Entertainment cordially invite us inside their Austin pad and ScHoolboy Q does the honors of giving us a tour.
