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.
While at the Killjoy Barbers in Vancouver, the Roots drummer runs into the Human Serviette, who had more than enough gifts to share. 46 minutes worth.
Kicking off Complex TV‘s Combat Jack Show, Black Thought recalls meeting ?uestlove and breaks down how his past beef with Nas came about.
Brooklyn Bowl was the place to be last night. As part of the Brothers In Arms event, D’Angelo covered a few classics along with Roots drummer, ?uestlove.
D’Angelo confirmed that his album is complete and is on the way. Above, he ends the show with a classic of his own, “Lady”. More clips from the audience below.
During last month’s Red Bull Academy event at NYC’s Broiler Room, The Roots drummer hit the 1s and 2s and dedicated an hour of his set to the late Jay Dee. The music speaks for itself.
It was illuminati on Fox last night. In the full episode above, Kanye returns as Kenny West and will.i.am, Nicki Minaj, ?uestlove and Bruno Mars plot their way to end his career.
?uestlove will soon add professor to his resume. The Roots drummer will join Universal VP of A&R Harry Weinger to teach a course for the Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
The two credit course, Classic Albums which begins this Fall,will focus on the criteria of a classic album from its production to its marketing and impact.
Rap’s Illuminati will soon invade The Cleveland Show. In next season’s episode titled, Menace II Secret Society, Kanye returns and is joined by Questlove, will.i.am, Bruno and Nicki, who will all portray themselves. Season premieres October 7 on Fox. Executive producer Rich Appel says:
“Cleveland inadvertently breaks into it and then it’s how he will either bring them down or they’ll bring him down. We have a couple of original songs with Kanye and will and Bruno, I mean, all of them, it was great.”
Undun is like a xmas lp. specific setting. Our next lp "&TYSYC" (guess) will be regular. @teramartin @BlackiusMaximus @reverofnolef100

Questo of The Roots (@questlove) July 01, 2012The Roots are back in the studio (as if they ever left), and are set to release their 14th album. Yesterday, drummer ?uestlove spilled the beans via Twitter and announced the title. Intoxicating choice.
Some would say, Jay Electronica’s album never coming out. And you know what, they’re probably right. But during ?uestlove’s interview on The Champs podcast, he said Jay-Z is in possession of Elect’s album and listens to it constantly. Only, well, the biggest problem is, that there isn’t any singles.
