GIANT took a look at four of hip-hop’s most enduring bromances. Can someone bury this term next to “Swagger”, por favor?
Bromance:|brōˈmans; brōˌmans| (noun): 1. A “man crush.” A close but non-sexual relationship between two men, a form of homosocial intimacy. 2. A really crappy MTV reality series.

Look at this DJ Vlad guy gettin’ his journalism on. Apparently my homie got the scoop on the latest casualty of Andre Young Records. I always thought that Mr. Lamont was a lil too feisty to stay in the Doc’s good graces. Although still unconfirmed, it looks like this rumor got legs. E1 Music, here we come!
Update: A buzzed Bishop throws Vlad under the bus. Says he’s still signed. Only need to watch first 3 mins.
Props: Shawn David and Pcire in our comments. Peace!

Do you know what today is? It’s Jay and Beyonce’s anni-ver-sary. Yep, the Honeymoon is over. Traditionally, paper is the gift couples give each other after the first year; but we’re sure Bey and Jay already have enough of that. So to celebrate, YN dug in his bag of tricks and found rare footage of Shawn looking for love in all the wrong places.
“Ah man, Jay-Z please man. You on some ol’ love mission man. Com’on, man.”
True Story: April 4, must be a popular date in hip-hop. 14 years ago, 2Pac married girlfriend, Keisha Morris while locked up in Clinton Correctional.

“Shout out to YN, I’m jacking your steez up on the flip cam. I got tired of the $800, $900 video camera.”
The Flip Cam Rap era is upon us boys and girls. Remember where you heard it first.

OK: LowKey broke it. Dre found the photos. OnSmash had a making of the video. Now, Worldstarhiphop has the world premiere. Here’s Crack’s next single featuring Who? Don’t know about this one Joey. Guess I need to travel down South a lil’ more. Smh.
Sidebar: I gotta find my Twitter notes from Joe’s listening and remember what my single picks were.
Masego continues to show his creativity and versatility with Studying Abroad: Extended Stay. The combination of live instrumentation, smooth vocals, and West Indian influences makes this project an exciting listening experience. Adding new collaborations with talented artists gives fans even more reasons to explore the album and appreciate its musical diversity. I also appreciate how music and learning can connect through creativity, exploration, and new experiences. In the same way that listeners explore different musical styles, people can improve their practical skills by learning useful techniques such as "How to calculate proportions easily". Understanding proportions can make everyday calculations, comparisons, and problem solving much simpler. This is a great reminder that exploring new ideas can be rewarding in music, education, and daily life.
