Guess Fif wasn’t feelin’ that “we gonna throw the biggest party when Curtis dies” line, huh? Mr. Jackson gets his YouTube thuggery on to attack Crack’s rumored album sales. I don’t know what the final SoundScan number is gonna be, but regardless, Joe’s legacy isn’t defined by album sales. He’s still the most important Latino in hip-hop history and a Hall Of Famer in my book. Chew on that, commenters! Sidebar: I saw that episode of Intervention and that show […]

It’s what you all been waitin’ for ain’t it?! No Attention Deficit wasn’t the worldwide smash Wale would’ve liked it to be but what doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger. Mr. Folarin has come back with a strong project that I’m proud to be affiliated with. I really enjoyed More About Nothing and I know you will as well. So learn the words, you might sing this and join us on Aug 16 at the Highline to celebrate […]

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drakeover”] After throwing the ultimate 1-2 punch (Em and Jay), Drizzy Drake closed the show like the champion he is. Like he says at the end, Mr. Graham is the first Canadian rapper to go platinum in the USA. If you don’t respect that, your whole perspective is wack. UPDATE: After the show, Drizzy thanked his fans.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drakeintv”] Before making history, Canada’s finest gave me a few minutes to lay out the blueprint of his concert set. Congrats to Oliver and Aubrey Graham for gettin’ his Bill Graham on. Ha! The sponsorships are gonna be crazy next year. Special guest requests for the suggestion box: Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Birdman… Shit, the sky’s the limit. Thank you, October’s Very Own!

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drakejay”] Just when the crowd thought things couldn’t get any crazier with Marshall’s presence, the big homie Hov came through at the end. Man, this night was one for the hip-hop history books. Haters be damned!

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drakeem”] Drizzy Drake took puttin’ on for your city to a whole other level as he brought a slew of stars out in support of his first October’s Very Own festival. He even got Eminem on a plane and on stage to deliver “Forever”. The building shook! Amazing!

Here’s “Black & Gold” which is some ways will serve as the single to the Mixtape About Nothing. DJ Enuff may be breaking the record this afternoon so stay tuned. In the meantime, it’s OK to dance. Ha! Previously: Friends & Strangers | The Eyes Of The Tiger | The MC | The Cool
