I know this is normally Raph’s thing and that’s cause he knows way more bout it than me but I saw this vid at Kevin Nottingham’s site and thought it fit in well with this series. A worth-while 10 minutes showing where Kanye (one of the lead samplers out there) got some inspiration for a […]
So thursday, there was a gang related murder in Chicago where a 16 year old, Derrion Albert, was beat to death. I will give you a link to news coverage of it for people who haven’t heard of it. The reason I am posting this because NaS posted a response at Global Grind. For someone […]
Exile, the man behind the amazing sound of Below The Heavens , has been hard at work and this year released a solo album Dirty Science. I thought that introducing Exile and this album to our Hip-Hop discussion was relevant because much of Exile’s music pushes the limits of Hip-Hop.

Nice way to start off your Friday/weekend, with a new song from Da What’s #1 to Watch For, Wale! WAS exclusive at rapradar but grab the download after the jump. I don’t really want to be posting leaks all the time but I do love Wale. If this song didn’t even make the cut, I […]
I’ve been sitting on this for a while, and I think you guys are really gonna like it.
