Does it get anymore hip-hop then this? Here’s classic footage of Redman/Method Man, Black Rob, and Beanie Sigel performing at the now closed Tunnel nightclub in NYC. I was too young to party, but I heard Sundays were legendary. Underage FAIL.

Jay-Z thinks female rap’s been dead since Lauryn Hill. Enter Nicki Minaj. She’ll save the day. Yeah right. Fuck outta here!

YN Confession: I may have listened to her rap once or twice but can’t recall one song.

Previously: Nicki Minaj x Nipsey Hussle Model For DrJays.Com

Auto-Tune is dead, Carlos. Didn’t you get the memo? Give yourself a “L”.

During a break in shooting from his Complex feature, F-A-B-O gets his brag and boast on:

Complex: Which of the new crop of young New York rappers do you feel like you’re competing with?
Fabolous: None. I’m not…there’s no New York rapper who’s out that is competing with me because first of all, I’m the best and—

Complex: [Laughs.]
Fabolous: [Laughs.]—second of all, I’m not like a new jack, I’m not just coming out, this is not my first album. I’ve been out for years and I’ve had numerous hits, I’ve had numerous endorsements. It’s my fifth album, like, this is not new. I’m not just rapping because I like it anymore—this is like almost my career now, you know? Not almost, it is! This is what I feed myself and my family with, so I attack it that way. You know, certain people, they do what they do, and I’m sure they’re good at what they do but I just don’t put anybody—especially in New York—in my category because they haven’t been through all the things I’ve been through, throughout my career. And I’m still going, I believe. I still haven’t peaked, there’s a lot of guys who’ve came, peaked, and I think now people look at them and are like, “OK,” but I think people still want more of me because they feel like I haven’t peaked. Sometimes I even hear people say, “I don’t think Fab has lived up to his full potential yet,” you know what I’m saying? I believe this album right here is a classic album and I listen to it as a fan; I just rode in my car listening to it and I was very pleased.

I’m not mad. If you don’t think you’re the best at what you’re doin, you shouldn’t be doin’ it.

“Too many rappers, not enough fans!”

I’ve been saying this for the longest. Spread the word—Please!

This album which features plenty of The Lox’s soldiers (J Hood still lost) is also in stores today. I ain’t coppin’, but I do dig this joint. New Jack City (no Bow Wow), FTW!
