Stack Bundles (real name Rayquan Elliot) was a regular on the mixtape circuit, constantly dropping freestyles with the likes of Fabolous, Joe Budden & Ransom and was a key member in Jim Jones' Byrd Gang re...

Ruff Ryders are back! The official remix of Jadakiss' Who Real has hit the internet and all Double R fans out there should be excited to hear that OJ Da Juiceman has been replaced by all the original members of Ruff Ryders (DMX, Drag-On, Eve, Styles P. & Sheek Louch). Hopefully this will signify the release of a new Ruff Ryders compilation, one...

Here is the official music video for Who's Real, the third single off Jada's Last Kiss album. Jada's buzz was incredible around the time his album was released but his flame quickly fizzled out, hopefully this hood-banger will re-ignite it because Kiss deserves all the success he can get. Swizz Beatz on the hook, Snagz on the beat and unfortunately...

His royal rapping highness, Mr. Ego himself Kanye West appeared on ABC’s The View today. The View who shares a round table of sassy women co-host which includes, Sherri Shepard, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, and Barbara Walters.

Calling all hip hop practitioners, it’s that time again. I’ve been trying not to jump on the Drake fanatical bandwagon but since I listen to “Successful” every morning with my bacon and eggs I must admit to being a fan. More importantly I’m a fan of the buzz that this kid is generating. He’s almost single handedly reviving the music bus...

By Christopher "DiZ" Lamb It has been a long three years for fans of the legendary Mos Def. After the release of experimental (yet still decent) opus, The New Danger in 2004 and the universally panned True Magic in 2006, fans watched in fear; fear of whether Mos would revert back to the jazzy vibes and peerless lyricism that shone bright on his ex...

Trey Songz & Day 26 were there as well. The most embarassing part of this video is when Soulja Boy Mistakenly calls UFC Fight Night. How the hell can you confuse UFC for Fight Night? Besides that the video is pretty boring, but for my homies out there I had to hook you up to get a peek at rappers who think they nice at games but could get easil...

Yes you read the title right. Birdman's new name is Birdshit. I think it fits him actually, his rhyme style especially. But besides all of that the video is nice and I think T pain did a good job. Recently every song T Pain has been featured on has sounded the same. This one almost does but maybe its the beat style that makes it stand out. Hit or M...

Calling all hip hop practitioners; it’s that time again. “Bling-bling every time I come around your city bling-bling,” stop it’s the recession remix! Recently The Wall Street Journal wrote a fascinating piece on the hip hop culture of bling. In this segment the periodical analyzed the overzealous jewelry aficionados during the times of th...

E3 is over, the NBA Finals are in full effect, and this weeks Flashtrack Friday is here. If you haven't checked out Flashtrack Friday before, its basically me sharing some the video game music that I listen to on a daily basis. This week I decided to take it back to Street Fighter 2. This game has so many memorable tunes that I find it hard not...

Yo yo. If you missing real hip-hop you have to check this out. This right here is the art in its purest form. The homies Wordspit and Mickey Factz along with AJ, Hi-Jynx and Alvietron out there killing it in the NYC. This video is of them spittin hot freestyles while dudes beatboxing like its 1980 something. Do yourself a huge favor and click play....

Calling all hip hop practitioners; it’s that time again. Everyday the music industry swallows someone’s potential career whole! Everyday this musical monster can rob the unsuspecting, and abuse the trust of the gifted. There are many labels that are probably faulty in this area, but none as prominent in hip hop than Bad Boy. At one time Bad B...

When Cassidy's Apply Pressure mixtape (hosted by DJ Thoro) hit the internet a few day ago almost everyone who downloaded it expressed nothing short of sheer hatred toward Thoro for his awful, awful DJing, and by "DJing" I mean "pulling back each track 4 of 5 times resulting in a mixtape which was borderline unlistenable" But now, courtesy of your g...
