In the clip, Raekwon’s shot another video for “New Wu” featuring Method Man and Ghostface Killah. This time around, Dennis couldn’t make it so Noreaga, Teyanna Taylor and Joell Ortiz got their close up’s instead.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Fif says that rappers are too focused on record sales.
“I think hip-hop in general has
changed dramatically based on artists reaching for other people. If
you look at the artists out there, I think they’re a reflection of
what was rock’n’roll. In general, they’re doing a style that isn’t
hip-hop. They’re doing things that aren’t traditional at all. What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is
dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because
there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of
the numbers they’re not being creative anymore.”

It’s been 24 month since Stack Bundles was murdered in the lobby of the Redfern Housing projects in Queens. Commemorating his passing, Karen Civil poured out a lil’ liquor with some of his Stacks’ closest colleagues and father, Raymond Elliott.
“I’ve been avoiding saying anything for interviews, but I’m proud of him. Really, really proud he was born with that gift, that light. All through his life, I knew he could do whatever he wanted to do,” said the elder Elliot. “He was my first born, my baby, a beautiful child who never had any ill will against anyone. I made a commitment to put the best album out I can for him.”
Chea!




It is interesting to look back at this discussion because the concerns about technology becoming a barrier to real communication have only become more noticeable over time. Messages are quick and convenient, yet they often cannot communicate tone, emotion, or intention as clearly as a real conversation. Technology itself is not necessarily the problem, but how we choose to use it matters. Even something as simple as a Basic Calculator shows how useful technology can be when it solves a practical problem without replacing meaningful human connections and conversations.
