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.
On the eve of his album’s release, Nas stopped by Hip-Hop Nation’s Invasion Radio. He spoke on his writing process, ESPYs performance, “A Queens Story”, musical taste, crafting his albums and more.

Before his celebratory evening, Esco visited Hot 97 and got digital with Flex. He spoke on the concept of his album cover, Kelis’ reaction and his recent VH1 Behind The Music episode.

Hours before the release of Nas’ album, Life Is Good, Team Epiphany spearheaded the Moët Rose Lounge event last night in NYC’s meatpacking district. Yours truly bailed at the last minute, but Hov, Beyonce, Busta Rhymes, Jermaine Dupri, Swizz Beatz, No I.D. and a host of others were in attendance. Q-Tip and DJ Wonder handled DJ duties. Here are a few pics from the night’s festivities.
Sticking his chest out with pride, Nasir Jones repped for the fathers across the globe by performing “Daughters” last night on the Late Show With David Letterman. Life Is Good is out today.
With DJ Green Lantern on the 1s and 2s, Nasir provided the soundtrack for this evening’s ESPY Awards performing “Nasty”, “The Don” and “Summer On Smash” with Swizzy. Life Is Good next Tuesday.
You might not know Def Jam’s R&B artist, K’La yet but today we get to hear her new single which features a new verse from Nasir. This ain’t bad at all.
During his Paris show last Tuesday, Nas spoke on his musical influence then segued into Life Is Good‘s third track with a Marvin Gaye sample flipped by DJ Green Lantern and the Z band. Nice mix.
The consistency continues as Nasir airs out his past marriage’s highs and lows for the album’s closing track. Produced by Salaam Remi and Noah “40″ Shebib. Life’s so much better now, but Life Is Good on July 17.
Esco helped bring Openair Frauenfeld Festival to an end and brought out L Boogie for their classic duet “If I Ruled The World”. More footage from their performances after the jump.
Trapped in the 90s? Well luckily for you, Nas reunites with Large Professor on this record off his forthcoming set, Life Is Good. Sounds like Esco is on the right track.
