Kinda! Shock headline alert. It was Mr. Raymond’s music. Specifically, this tune playin’ in the backdrop when Miss Keri’s panties dropped and she made love for the very first time. No word on whether hickeys were exchanged. For those stumbling with their math, it was eight years ago. Born in ’82, she was 19. You know, I’m starting to buy her goody two-shoes act. How dumb am I? SMH. Props: Q Deezy

This is the official first single off T-Pain’s new album, RevolveR (The last capital R ain’t a mistake). The shit should be really called “Take Your Muthafuckin’ Shirt Off.” And I can dig it. It’s funky and crunky like Lil Jon in his prime. The “Is autotune really dead?” line ain’t even necessary as the song uses just a touch of the effect in the song’s bridge. Yup, it’s strong on its own two. Looks like Faheem’s gonna survive the […]
Huge billboards. Heavy promo. A primetime major TV show starring role. A huge look for hip-hop, no? Still and all, there’s no buzz and no one seems to give a fuck, Including me. I grew up a huge James Todd Smith fan, but I can’t for the life of me muster up any excitement for his latest acting gig. Maybe you can. Season premiere tonight. Check the clip above. Come Again: Splash Previously: New Music: LL Cool J “N.C.I.S. (No […]
Where’s this song from? Damned if I know. But Kiss gets it in over a slowed down hook from Estelle’s mega-smash. Yup, I could take a full CDQ version of this. Mo’ Empire State rap por favor. Props: Splash
Besides hip-hop, there’s not much Calvin and I have in common. Except when it comes to the pigskin, we ride with the black, white and yellow. Haven’t you noticed the colors of the Double R, fuckers. Yup, YN wins again. Touch down. Here’s Snoop, the Super Steelers fan, on his Heinz Field adventure. Previously: Backstage With Snoop Dogg & The Snoopadelics
Ly-or. This post’s about Ly-or. The CEO of rap let the NY Times into his home and answered a gang of questions. With candor and charisma, he bigs up everyone from P.E. to Jay-Z to the man who made Def Jam before him. HOME HOMAGE: My house is dedicated to Rick Rubin. My day-to-day experience is fundamentally in honor of things I learned from Rick. The first day I saw him in his N.Y.U. dorm room, he was in pain […]
Tony Starks and sexy ladies? Well you know there needs to be a visual. Here’s some video from Angela Yee and Leah Rose’s raunchiest show on the planet. Squeamish kids, y’all get the fuck outta this post. Props: Team Yee Previously: The Pretty Toney Lip Service Takeover
Wow Luda’s boys have finally come up with one that hit my radar. This ain’t no “Skew It On The Bar-B,” but choppin’ it up with the Chef is a fine ATL tradition in my book. Believe it or not, Titty Boi and Dolla Boy (why don’t they change their group name to the Duffle Bag Boys) have a new album droppin’ next Tues too. I’ll leave it up to you, what you should do. After the jump, Shallah explains […]
And another one from NCB and the crew. 2/3’s is now covered. Hey, where’s the hot babe? Ha! After the jump, behind the scenes of Da Snowman shoot. Previously: Clipse Cover Oct/Nov 2009 Complex
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
