First it was The N.Y. Times. Now, The L.A. Times is giving Pill their seal approval. Here’s what scribe Jeff Weiss had to say: Along with his most recent mix tape, “The Prescription: 4180,” the video [Trap Goin Ham] establishes Pill as perhaps the most promising Atlanta rapper since the Dungeon Family — one capable of toeing the line between book and street smarts, conscious without being condescending, and blessed with a flow as ferocious as the healthcare debate. And […]

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3440886&w=425&h=350&fv=] More VMA red carpet action as Swizz speaks on the tender tweets he exchanged with A Keys awhile back. Yup, that’s one RR brought to you first. I can’t prove it since we’re still backin’ up our old content on the new site. But my homegirl Freshalina knows, so that’s good enough for me. Props: Creekmur’s Castle

In an article in the new Details magazine appropriately entitled “Tears of A Hip Hop Clown“, the super-producer who lost it all, brags about all the Hollywood hotties he bagged back in his heyday. After a bong hit, Storch loosens up a bit and the conversation turns to his sexual conquests. Tops among them? “Kim Kardashian—she was amazing,” he says. (She denies she and Storch had sex.) “Dude, she really is so fucking hot,” Linder affirms from the pool table. […]

This MJ remix shit is outta control. The shuffling drums are cool and all, but you really can’t fuck with perfection. Oh and this reminds me; of course that’s not me in the credits of BP3. The genius that is No ID, is “E. Wilson”. He prefers Dion. But his mama named him Ernest.

Here’s another cut from Sir Prestige. Houston Presto Vol.2: The Playoffs is fixing to be a blowout. Previously: Dustin Prestige “The Underdawg”

Funny, I looked up this address too when I heard “Empire State of Mind.” The folks at NYmag paid a visit to 560 State St. in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn. On the aforementioned track, Hov mentions the address as a former stash house. Apparently in ’96-’97, Jigga not only laid his hat, but his work, in Apt. 10B. According to lifelong residents, Jay was a respectful and cordial neighbor. Guess they were the soft ones. Heads Up: SRD

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3439694&w=425&h=350&fv=] “I felt it would be live to come to my man’s city being that he jumped on something for me and showed that love. It’s like why can’t I come and bring it back and bring it to his town.” Here’s a look at The Chef and Mack Mittens during the making of CL 2’s next visual which was fittingly shot in Illadelphia. Hey, has the Broad Street Bully turned himself in yet? The Double R wants to […]

At a recent Ecstatic tour stop in New York, the mystery man of rap got his favorite producer to come out from behind the scenes. This amuses me: Maybe ’cause I know both these guys personally. Sorry I missed the show, Mr. Electronica. Stop threatening talk shows hosts. Jay on Jay crime. Ha! Prop Yourself: Megatron Don

In the second clip, Pac says he’s got nothing but love for the East Coast, but gripes about the lack of respect reciprocated. And what’s this about Wu-Tang getting robbed for their jewels? So many questions. So many tears. Props: Broken Cool via Vibe Previously: Unreleased 2 Pac Footage Part. 1 (Vibe)
