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.
Quentin Miller continues to prove that originality still matters in music. The message behind Road Less Traveled feels inspiring because it highlights independence, creativity, and staying true to your own path. The visuals and storytelling work together really well, and this post does a nice job introducing the upcoming album. Reading about artists who choose their own direction reminds me of planning a New Zealand tours, where the journey itself becomes just as meaningful as the destination. Looking forward to hearing the full project and seeing how the album develops this theme even further.
