    As you guys already know, I usually don’t post music on here. When I do, it’s a rare occasion meant to show my support of an artist that’s doing something different. That said, I’m definitely a supporter of electro-rock duo, The Fire And Reason! Time Out Chicago calls TFaR “a combination of Lower East Side rock chick, ’80s Madonna, South American hipster and global jetsetter … The band has the potential to break electro-rock in the mainstream–they could give the Ting Tings a run for their money”. Check out the video for their single,…

Furthermore, users with an additional app installed on their device (only available on iPhone right now), can aim their camera towards the building and be greeted with…

    I just watched this video and had to share it with you guys. Many of us get so caught up in our everyday lifestyle, we take the simplest things for granted, and occupy our lives with the most frivolous issues. Sometimes, it’s those with far greater challenges that end up inspiring us to value what we have and to make the absolute most of it. Patrick Henry Hughes, and his father, Patrick John Hughes, are two of those great inspirations. Please take 15 minutes to watch these 2 videos. I promise you, you will be grateful you did.

    Drama seems to follow po Usher when it comes to love & relationships. Not only is he known for repeatedly penning his woes in song, but apparently history is repeating itself offline as well. Today was the expected drop date for Usher’s Raymond v. Raymond project, but don’t go running out to buy it. It ain’t there. According to That B*tch,  Usher & his MoManger, Jonetta Patton, are at odds once again over his fascination with bossy older women.

    Top Rap/Hip-Hop Artists on Rhapsody Online

  • Black Eyed Peas

    8 Feb 2010 | 11:37 am
    Hailing from Los Angeles, the Black Eyed Peas date back to the early 1990s, when group founders Will.I.Am and Apl de Ap parlayed their breakdancing skills into a band called Atban Klann. Eazy-E eventually signed them to Ruthless Records, although the label didn't really know how to market their non-violent sound, and their album was shelved. After Eazy passed away, they picked up a third member, Taboo, and began performing around L.A. as Black Eyed Peas. Known for their positive lyrics and lively show, complete with singers and dancers, they developed a strong buzz, which led to a deal with…

    8 Feb 2010 | 11:37 am
    One of hip-hop's biggest superstars, Brooklyn's Jay-Z is among the few artists who have garnered praise from underground heads and fans of the pop charts alike. His ultra-danceable tracks, complex yet casual flow, and penchant for the high life have influenced countless others (for better and for worse) while maintaining the East Coast club thug sound. Jigga (one of his many nicknames) is practically synonymous with success, releasing back to back multiplatinum albums and flashing more diamonds than Liberace. His ability to move a crowd and get them singing along is uncanny, and his…

  • Snoop Dogg

    7 Feb 2010 | 11:39 am
    Since he stole the show on Dr. Dre's genre-defining masterpiece The Chronic, Snoop Dogg's laconic, rubbery flow and goofy gangsta persona has been a hip-hop institution. His Doggystyle (1993) became the first debut album to hit the charts at No. 1. After a rancorous split with Death Row Records, Snoop moved to Master P's No Limit label. In the late '90s, he began working with Dre again, resulting in standout tracks like "Bitch Please," "Still D.R.E." and "The Next Episode." Not content with simply rapping, Snoop has appeared in such feature films as Training Day and The Wash and put in work…

  • Lil Wayne

    7 Feb 2010 | 11:38 am
    One of Southern rap's most enduring and talented emcees, New Orleans' Lil Wayne began rapping at the tender age of 11. By the time he was 15, he'd linked up with Juvenile, Turk and B.G. and formed the immensely popular Hot Boys group on Cash Money Records. Though the emcees showed promise, many listeners focused on the post-Bounce production of Mannie Fresh, and regarded Wayne as a fresh-faced vehicle for the producer. But Wayne went solo in 1999 with Tha Block Is Hot. His raps focus on youthful rebellion, New Orleans style -- crack, girls and turf supremacy are paramount. Lights Out,…

  • Limp Bizkit

    7 Feb 2010 | 11:38 am
    Perhaps the new leaders of the rapcore movement, Florida's Limp Bizkit had a solid underground following long before they were signed to Interscope in 1997. They have a singular approach to psychedelic guitars overdriven past the point of corrosive distortion into the realm of aural punishment, flanked by harsh funk basslines and hip-hop beats. Aggressive rap vocals occasionally venture into whiteboy soul-isms.

  • Listen to unreleased Lupe Fiasco 'Lean'

    Sgt. Tibs
    9 Feb 2010 | 2:35 am
    Some unreleased, near-decade old Lupe Fiasco hit the web as "Lean" illustrates a young Fiasco showing his promise with distinct flow and annunciation from verse 1 onward. Overlooking the 'gangsta' influence in the very beginning and in the chorus, "Lean" is a very solid, upbeat record. My favorite punchline happened to be delivered to perfection: "I'm back to school like September, L-U-P-Emperor", which also indicates how early Lupe experimented with playing off the sounds and spelling of his name. Definitely an interesting listen above with clarification from the man himself…

Cham retired that series last year. His latest mixtape, Major Pain, was originally planned as a mix of original beats and original rhymes a la Drake's So Far Gone, but label politics kept him from going through with that idea. At any rate, Major Pain is a solid holdover for Cham fans hungry for new music. His third album, Venom, is set for release in March. Head on over to Chamillionaire.com for Major…

If that truly is the case, it may be some time after 2020 before we hear from Sade again. But let’s not dwell on that unfortunate news; for the moment Sade and the guys are back! LISTEN UP:…

  • BEYONCE AND TINA’S HOUSE OF DEREON SUED

    8 Feb 2010 | 5:05 pm
    Legal papers were filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, New York against BEYONCE and TINA KNOWLES’ clothing line HOUSE OF DEREON. Because of the official papers we of course can’t call it a rumor but one would think that all the money BEYONCE raked in last year she wouldn’t have an issue paying fair price for anything. But being a celebrity spoils you. Case in point, they’re use to getting everything for free or next to nothing and now it may cost her more than any of it’s actually worth. The defendant, VIER INTERNATIONAL (a Vietnamese apparels company)…

Word is Jonetta quit for a second time a few months ago because of his relationship with former record label exec, GRACE MIGUEL. Now Usher’s label, Jive Records is pushing the album Raymond Vs.

    KELIS is one of the most daring of fashionistas, one of the most recognized hook singers gone solo and quite possibly one of the most resented women in all of Hip Hop. All of that taken into account she still peaks some wisdom on the complexities of women, men and marriage in the recent issue of Complex Magazine. I guess hindsight is also 20/20. On being cute all the time when in a marriage: I agree. I’m hot around my home. Yeah, it’s shallow, but I think you’re entitled to be shallow.

    I've been meaning to do a review of Mos Def's "The Ecstatic" for the past few months. Let's not be cynical in my lateness to this project. I mean, "The Ecstatic" was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Album. That spotlight has come and gone ... it is what it is. However, as a result of my inability to get a review posted, many, many others have covered the ground on this one.So that leaves me to point you in the right direction for information as it relates to "The Ecstatic". What I will say about this project is that I love the diversity. There is a mix of genre's represented here.USA…

The Roots were there for not one, but two shows: on Tuesday, December 29th and Wednesday, 30th.

That's how I found this list on the 10 Best Rap Albums of 2009. There's also a companion list of the Most Disappointing Rap Albums of 2009, but I chose to focus on the positive, albeit, someone else's idea of positivity in list making.This list was compiled by Henry Adaso from About.com.

    This is part 5 of another 5-part series. Which means it’s going to be the rousing conclusion. What else is left to say? That the end goal, beyond creative expression of artistic rap music… is money. Hip-hop and profit go together. Scarface could have been talking about this industry when he laid out the progression from money, to power, to women.

I have a…
