Here’s a premature taste of the next single from Lil Wayne and his crew. B Dot can hate all he wants but this is could be big. Big like “Every Girl” big. Just watch. Sidebar: Here’s original version of song courtesy of the NMC. Thank God, they made a change. Lloyd > Omarion. Pre-Lamar, he couldn’t even bag a Kardashian. Loser! Bonus: 2DB got Mo’ Young Money, if you’re so inclined. Hey, KC, we need that full “Bedrock” CDQ ASAP. […]
This broke Sunday night but now with no DJ. A lil smooth murder music for your Tuesday morning. Guess Dre found time to mix this one. Hey sounds a lil “Hurry Up This Way Again” to me. But what’d I know. It most certainly ain’t this. Props: X Previously: 50 Cent “Dreamin’ (Radio Rip)” Update: That was clean. Let’s get dirty!
Prison? College? Yup Algernod’s blood has done it all. And now that’s he’s finally touched the town, Gates played a big role in picking the songs for the upcoming Goon Affiliated album. Leave it to Angela Yee to get these guys to give up the goods. More info can be found here. Props: Team Yee
What in the B.o.B. Bobby Ray bullshit is this? AHH broke the news yesterday that Killer Mike has decided to remix his rap moniker. “I’m going with the name Mike Bigga because I really feel like I’m bigger than what I have been in the past and I’ve managed to get legendary status from being a raw rap guy in terms of being able to come out of the shadows of the hardships I’ve had,” the entertainer said as he […]
Spoiler Alert: More Than A Game is not the LeBron James story. Sorry. Hate to break it ya. The real story revolves around Coach Joyce II and the camaraderie of five high school ballers: Sian, Dru, Willie, Romeo and, oh yeah, LeBron. Filmed over the course of nine years in Akron, Ohio, director Kristopher Belman chronicles the quintet’s transition from the blacktops to two State titles. But with success comes complacency. And as LeBron’s stock rose, so did the criticism. […]
Young Goldie and Young Money reunite on The Runners’ hazy production. It’s music to my ears. X
Before the big stage reunion on Saturday night, the four man crew kicked it with my light-skinned brother Drama. Miss Info has the clips too because Tyree just can’t choose who his favorite is. You’d think the cat who gave him an XXL blog back in the days would have an advantage. But hey, I’m a lil’ cranky. It’s dinnertime! More after the jump. Sidebar: Peep Mr. Garland‘s work
Who runs this town? As promised: New material from BK’s hard rock. Turn that sumabitch computer sideways if you wanna peep the tracklist. Or just download the whole thing here and enjoy the ride. Rap’s other light-skinned Jermaine, FTW! Spotted: Shake via Radio Planet Previously: New Music: Maino x Lloyd Banks “Bandana”
Truthfully: I found out about this “Run It” reunion months ago and was actually asked my opinion if this was a good look for ‘Elz’s return single givin’ the hot water Fuck Boy Brown was in. Well since that time, Joyce’s baby boy’s apologized, brought his bowtie-wearin’ ass to Larry King, picked up some garbage and is already promoting his upcoming Swizz Beatz-produced “Transformers” single with Lil Wayne. So I guess you can say the coast is clear now to […]
Ok the homies at Grand Good definitely get a late pass, but this footage from Raekwon’s release party two weeks ago is too good to pass up. Lord knows I wasn’t gettin’ up front with all the young hooligans that night. You’re a brave man, Ming Tzu. Spotted: Please Don’t Stare
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
