He’s holding New York right now,” Rakim said. “You have brothers like Fabolous that’s holding New York right now. Rap is spread out right now. It’s like the NFL last year. A lot of the teams we thought was going to the Super Bowl last year didn’t make it. You have young teams that people […]

Chopping it up with Maurice Garland, Big Boi says that his album, Sir Luscious Left Foot… is complete and that “Lookin For Ya” will be featured as well. Normally, I’d call bullshit. Afterall, Big Boi’s been plugging this album for the longest. But with Maurice there to give it an added co-sign, I believe it is. Maybe Def Jam felt otherwise?

“Get on my level hoe, You ain’t on my latitude/ I got plenty cribs no tellin’ where I travel too.”

Look out Minaj, the Baddest Bitch is back? Anyways, Trina returns and no she ain’t “Single Again” she got an “Attitude” instead. I wanna like this, but after a few listens it still sounds pretty generic. Can somebody point out the bounce?

Besides call me old school but when I hear attitude, I think of something else. “Back when Antoinette had that attitude.”

Uncle Rush continues to get his Arianna Huffington on, gettin’ Shad Moss to further explain why he parked his Lambo in the Williams brothers’ garage. To anyone who’s confused or says I don’t belong in Cash Money…Let me remind you that I’ve been down with Baby, Slim, Wayne and the whole Cash Money family from the beginning. 10 years ago when we really were “Lil” me and Wayne did a song for the Hardball movie soundtrack. Baby was influential in […]

Here’s a sneak peak at the documentary surrounding the murder of Run-DMC DJ, Jam Master Jay. The clip features commentary from folks like 50 Cent, Russell Simmons, and Bill Adler. Seven years later and still no arrests? That sound’s stupid to me.

And that’s cool. That’s a brand of music that might not always be what’s real, […]

TMZ got some footage of Shaq in the ring with one of the greatest boxers of our time. If this is how Shaq’s reality show which debuted last night is, I might have to check it out. This is pretty entertaining.

Kelis has gone to great lengths to keep her and Nas’ child’s image from being snapped. But someone at a recent industry event she attended betrayed that trust. The Internets have no conscience.
