Whatever break ‘Ye may be planning to take, needs to go down in the next couple of months. Starting this November he’ll be gone with Lady Gaga on the ironically-titled “Fame Kills” tour well into early 2010. There goes Perez Hilton. He must be in the front row! Got a feeling the nation’s collective boo’s will turn to cheers by then.
This can’t be life.

And you say, Chi-City! So before Leno got his Oprah on last night and Kanye promised a hiatus, an ABC reporter snitched that the Pres threw Mr. West under the bus in an off-the-record comment. ABC was left with pie on the face and released this statement: In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from […]

It should have been [on there],” he said of Drake’s missing rhymes. “But I thought, to me, we took [Drake] out of his element. But he said that was good to him.

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.
