Things went without a glitch, until Lil Mama ruined the moment by crashing the stage. ABDC your ass outta here and step! Props: NR

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”kanye_vmas”] During Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech tonight for Best Female Video at the MTV Awards, Kanye West Gay Fish interrupts the country singer when Beyoncé doesn’t win. What an asshole. Sidebar: Hov’s probably pissed. “This Bryan Barber, I’m so mad at him,” says Jay, shaking his head in the back of a chauffeur-driven black BMW. “He goes up to accept the award for best video [for UGK feat. OutKast’s “Int’l Player’s Anthem” (I Chose You)]. This is clearly […]
So we close the RR behind-the-scenes show with the latest from Wale’s upcoming Attention Deficit. No word if Jazmine Sullivan will be joining in on the fun tonight. But this just in: Bunyan got his biz partner ONE ticket and YN will be in the building solo dolo. You can hate me now. I know, you already do. Ha!
Ever see one of XXL‘s celebrated freshmen cover the music of a fellow one? Well, here ya go. Tonight, you’ll see Scotty in the flesh, but this is a gem as Wale proves he knows all the words to his homie’s biggest hit. Also in the other clip, proves he can do a mean Gucci Mane impersonation. And you can throw in a DJ AM dedication too boot. You’re welcome!
It’s been a minute since we’ve seen footage of Asher P. larking on his go-kart. So to make up for lost time, here he is performing track one off Asleep In The Bread Aisle. Live band included.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years from now? 2Pac: If God give me breath for 20 more years, I see myself changing the world. Because my thought patterns are so opposite from what’s the norm. So I have to change the world or be changed by the world. Wow. On the 13th anniversary off 2pac’s death, the Lazarus of Hip-Hop media returns with some exclusive footage of the iconic MC. Pour out a lil’ liquor. They’re Baaaack: VIBE […]
I bet you never heard Coldplay go-go’d out before. But most importantly, do you think Wale will come up off his flip cam footage for the Double R? Time will tell. In the meantime, just listen to some Merriweather music. And the band played on! That’s right, we go out and document culture. You should do the same, lames.
Yesterday afternoon, I got to witness Wale and UCB prove to an MTV exec that they’re well prepared to be the VMA’s house band for this evening’s proceedings. Here, they run through two of Mr. Folarin’s biggest tunes. Oh yeah, I’m gonna be at the shindig tonight—somehow, someway. Ha!
This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
