The Great Hangover Tour concluded last night in Philly so it stands that the man who named the tour, only popped up for one show. That was four days ago in Norfolk, VA. The following footage ain’t great, but it’s worth noting. Above is the concert’s encore of “Welcome To Heartbreak” and, after the jump, the crowd goes ape shit when ‘Ye first comes out during “Make Her Say.”

Looks like Beans has his mind right, money right, and is “Ready For War”. And for good measure, he brought Freeway and Young Chris out to the front line as well. Word is Sigel renamed The Focus to The Broad Street Bully. Either way, I’m sure Beans’ bars will remain the same. (That’s a good thing y’all).

On the set of his Complex fashion spread, MC Spell Check laments his addiction to that damn Blackberry. Even though the wife just copped me an iPhone, I’m right there with him.
Also: The homie BFred said that lil’ flick of Amber Rose that leaked last night is nothin’. They plan to flood the Internets next week with a gang of mo’ photos and behind the scenes video. Blonde Dyke. Klondike. Let’s go!

In the final ep, 90’s hip-hop talent from different regions get shine (Detroit’s Eminem, ATL’s OutKast, etc.) and the struggles of female MCs are explored. Too bad that part is just as relevant today.
Hope you enjoyed our program. Ha!
Peace to EMZ.

Of course whenever you recall our history, you have to discuss the deaths of Biggie-Pac, East/West rivalries and how we survived it all.

This one is dedicated to the left side of the globe. You know the West Coast had a chokehold on the game. Didn’t know if they were ever gonna let go.

Episode 2 focuses on the evolution of rap music in the 80’s into a multi-million dollar business. Truth be told: We was all rollin’ with Rush.

Had this in the stash so long, I forgot I had it. This was an excellent 2004 documentary on our culture that aired on VH1 and was written by my good friend, Bill Adler (google him, kids!). There were five episodes and this was the first entitled Back In The Day. Like that 20/20 special RR brought you, we’re here to educate as well as entertain. All y’all do is steal content. Ha!
FADER gets first dibs with Aubrey’s inaugural magazine cover. Northern exposure, indeed. On newsstands August 18th.

It’s honestly a massive bummer that The Fugees had to cancel "The Score" reunion tour. I was so hyped to see Lauryn, Wyclef, and Pras back on stage together after all those years. Their music defined an era, and missing out on that anniversary celebration still stings. I’m currently planning a much-needed getaway to distract myself from the news. I’ve been looking into scooter hire algarve to explore the coast properly once I’m there. Hopefully, the group manages to reschedule in the future. Until then, I’ll be blasting The Score on repeat and enjoying some sunshine abroad.
