GIANT took a look at four of hip-hop’s most enduring bromances. Can someone bury this term next to “Swagger”, por favor?
Bromance:|brōˈmans; brōˌmans| (noun): 1. A “man crush.” A close but non-sexual relationship between two men, a form of homosocial intimacy. 2. A really crappy MTV reality series.

Do you know what today is? It’s Jay and Beyonce’s anni-ver-sary. Yep, the Honeymoon is over. Traditionally, paper is the gift couples give each other after the first year; but we’re sure Bey and Jay already have enough of that. So to celebrate, YN dug in his bag of tricks and found rare footage of Shawn looking for love in all the wrong places.
“Ah man, Jay-Z please man. You on some ol’ love mission man. Com’on, man.”
True Story: April 4, must be a popular date in hip-hop. 14 years ago, 2Pac married girlfriend, Keisha Morris while locked up in Clinton Correctional.
Philly, Philly what that rap be like? Here’s the iTUnes bonus cut off Asleep In The Bread Aisle with Rock City and the Broad Street Bully. Sounds like Sigel hasn’t missed a beat—or a meal for that matter.

Hip-Hop’s Howard Cossell gives a half time analysis at the New Orleans Hornets game this past Tuesday. Funny, Dwayne sounds like he actually knows what he’s talking about. Who knew. Oh yeah, the Hornets beat the Kings that night, 111-110.
Thanks, Karen Civil
intentional bashing in it, it’s not necessarily taking deliberate shots
at people… Yes, it is. What the fuck am I talking about?”

Straight from DJ Enuff’s turntables is a new cut from Kid Cudi called “Poker Face.” Get it? Poke-Her-Face ha! Please excuse the less than CDQ, YN went home with a runny nose.
“Poker Face”

My Maino Prediction: OnSmash gets CDQ first.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
