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.
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.
