A lil classic material for your morning. Here’s the brothers from Long Island on their European tour grind performing one of my favorite tunes from their second classic album, De La Soul Is Dead. Clever use of the JB‘s original in the mix, but I don’t co-sign the corny car bit at the end. Ha! Full show at Grand Crew.
This album dropped nearly a year ago, but Kamaal won’t stop because he can’t stop. Deluxe Edition, anyone? YouTube? Holla at the Double R. Ha!
Cover your ears! I’m sorry, but this had to be documented. I hope you had your breakfast first. Spotted: Hattie C

He spoke on how his, um, deal with Roc Nation and kicks a freestyle. Get back to rap, you Twitter too much. #funnypunchline! Yardie
Please don’t give Lil Mama the location. Sidebar: Kanye West is bossy.
In the above magazine’s cover story, Puff comes clean on his past sexual conquests. Mama, he’s a changed man. “I guess the things that used to thrill me don’t thrill me so much anymore. Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don’t even know if I really savored every menage a trois I had. I don’t want to do it all over again. Love is something I strongly connect with, but it’s not something I’ve […]

Ho hum!) as The Teacha pays tribute to DMX. “In the 90s, hip-hop was gettin’ soft and y’all know what I’m talkin’ ’bout… A dog came out!” Woof-woof.

I heard these two joints that one morning when I was guest co-hosting The Morning After With Angela Yee. I think we posted at least one of these but since we switched to WordPress, I can’t find it. Oh well. Anyway, Leslie’s upcoming mixtape, The Beat Made Me Do It is a problem. I guaran-damn-tee it! Props: NR, yeah I said it, NR.

Meet your death in less than eight seconds, indeed. After the jump, the Clipse speak on a botched robbery, DJ A-Trak recalls switchin’ a set last minute, and Diamond D reminisces on shitty draws. YK2

Here’s why: Why He’s Hot: Fabolous started his Loso’s Way campaign by telling the world that it was “his time,” and the boy from Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood lived up to his claim. Loso’s Way — a concept project inspired in part by the gangster film “Carlito’s Way” — became his first #1 LP on the Billboard albums chart, selling nearly 99,000 units in its […]
Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ fit effortlessly over the dusty, soulful production without a single wasted verse. Definitely one of his most cohesive projects in years and an easy front-to-back spin for anyone who appreciates real hip-hop craftsmanship.
