The day we launched, T.I. and Vibe magazine visited some youngsters at a school in The Bronx. I never had a rapper come to my school. But then again, I barely went…I keeeeed.

Time flies, but 19 years ago today, MC Hammer slowed things down in the game. In less than a year, his sophomore album Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em, became the first hip-hop album to clock 10 million units. That’s right, diamond—a feat that has yet to be topped in any musical genre, since. In between running his new site, Dancejam and filming his upcoming A&E reality show, Hammertime, Stanley found time to talk to RapRadar about getting his props, MC Serch, and why diamond is a rapper’s best friend.

Nice Kicks unearthed the price list for Kanye West’s ugly ass eclectic Louie Vuitton sneakers. Prices range from $840- $1140…plus tax. I don’t know about you, but for that kind of change, I’d rather buy 10 pairs of these.
Big Up’s to Woooha who referenced Nice Kicks.

Hip Hop Fun Fact: Consequence and I frequent the same babershop in Queens. But after seeing this clip, my homie can use a #2 all around against the grain. That’s barbershop talk for all you people in the cheap seats! Here, the Cons and his Grammy Family jones it up at Chung King studios.
This was a solid piece, especially how it highlights Benny The Butcher’s personality and presence during the car interview. I like how it shows a more relaxed, real side of him while still keeping that raw energy he is known for. It’s interesting to see how artists can express themselves differently in casual settings compared to a studio or stage environment. It also made me think about how comfort and setup matter in everyday situations, not just in music or media. For example, when you spend a lot of time in a vehicle, small upgrades can really improve the experience. Something like kei truck seat covers can help keep things comfortable and protect your seats at the same time. It’s all about finding ways to improve both comfort and longevity in whatever you use daily.
