Ha! I think the Jigga Man would disagree. This was lifted from Gawker and published two weeks before Rap Radar launched on March 9th. That’s right, y’all today marks 100 days since the Double R set up shot. Take that Barack!
From the very beginning, we were destined to fail. But you know what they say, with success breeds envy. Hell, whether you agreed or disagree with Vibe‘s list, from day uno, RR made headlines with Lil’ Kim and B.I.G.’s paranormal relationship, T.I. fronting on ghostwriting for Dr. Dre, and The Dream defending his main squeeze. Not a bad introduction into the game I’d say.
But in all honesty, no matter how many stories or songs we break, our success isn’t confined within the walls of the Rap Radar mansion. Take a look to the right of your screen and scroll down the list of sites we barter content from daily. Without them, we wouldn’t be squat. Special shouts to Eskay and Miss Info fast…and even Bol‘s bum ass. Hate it or love, the underdogs on top. Be clear, this is not a victory lap. We’ve still got plenty of work ahead. Rap Radar is where YN lives. Hip-Hop’s got a bigger house on the top of the hills. Let’s get it!
Quentin Miller continues to prove that originality still matters in music. The message behind Road Less Traveled feels inspiring because it highlights independence, creativity, and staying true to your own path. The visuals and storytelling work together really well, and this post does a nice job introducing the upcoming album. Reading about artists who choose their own direction reminds me of planning a New Zealand tours, where the journey itself becomes just as meaningful as the destination. Looking forward to hearing the full project and seeing how the album develops this theme even further.
