Pap returned to Shade 45 to plug his long-awaited The Nacirema Dream. At the 2:00 mark, he then decides to crack the mic. The album finally arrives March 5.
Niggaz done started something. Papoose broke bread with Hot 97’s morning drive and questioned the lack of local airplay. In a nutshell, Pap echoed my sentiments over the last few days. Afterward he spoke on his relationship with wife, Remy Ma.
Seems like Papoose’s The Nacirema Dream has been in the works forever. But come March 5, we will finally see its arrival. Here’s its latest single featuring Mavado. Cop on iTunes here. bottomfeeder
For the second release from his upcoming project, The Drama King brings together Kendrick and Papoose to display some real lyricism. Slay is 2 for 2 so far. Grown Man Hip-Hop drops later tonight. dopestateofmind
Is that Coogi? Pap stopped by Sway’s morning show recently and did a few laps over DJ Wonder’s “5 Fingers Of Death”. Looks like Sway was really into it, no? After the jump, Pap discusses how he stays focused on his relationship with Remy Ma despite her being incarcerated and more.
Pap’s album may never see the light of day. But for one of his recent tracks, he adds D-Block and the game’s most requested feature into the mix. flex
The self-proclaimed king of New York makes his rounds in his new video. If it isn’t to your liking, stick around as old man Pap previews his “Alphabetical Slaughter Pt. 2.”

Slim Dunkin l Heavy D l Joe Frazier l Steve Jobs l Sylvia Robinson l Nick Ashford l Amy Winehouse l Gil Scott-Heron l Macho Man Randy Savage l Nate Dogg and more.
The self-proclaimed King Of New York takes it pool side with more than enough badonkadonks in his latest video. Looks more jumping than it sounds. If you haven’t got the mixtape yet, get it
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
