The real Birdman.
Usually, we only mention Birdman in reference to his jewelry collection and his finance tips , but apparently he has an album coming out for some reason. Using his Bird-powers, he got Bun B and Drake to spit acid all over this track. If you can endure Birdman’s verse, ...

Odd and cute charming fan made video for this track off Jay Stay Paid . Directed by the awesomely named Marcus McDammit.

Most other sites have only casually taken notice of his banger with Raekwon and that turd of a song he dropped with Juelz Santana , but I think the Alabama MC has a lot more to offer. He combines rock influence with southern twang for something very original in hip-hop (minus Bubba ...

This song could’ve done without Wiz Khalifa and Lady G. Bad Lucc and Kurupt’s verses are full of anger and frustration, but Khalifa and G just spit that cutesy quirky wordplay that has plagued 2009. Terrace’s beat knocks, but I prefer his funkier, jazzier stuff.
Regardless, I’m excited to ...

Ghetto, a member of Termanology’s ST Da Squad, celebrated his release from jail with 100 angry bars over a fresh Statik Selektah beat. Damn, Ghetto should get out of jail more often.
His mixtape, Trunk Music, will feature production from Lil Fame, Statik Selektah, MoSS and Lee Bannon.

As the gentleman from DJ Premier Blog so eloquently explains, this beat was originally intended for 50 Cent.
In December, DJ Premier mentioned that he sent 50 Cent a beat and Curtis turned it down. In response to the Internet’s collective outcry, 50 Cent found the beat and rapped over a ...

It is with great shame that I post this leaked Drake track from the unofficial mixtape Heartbreak Drake 3 (The First Semester) . *shudders*
He’s a watered down, pretty boy version of Lil Wayne who will jump on a track with anyone who’s had a big record in the last year and he’s the major ...

Why does it sound like Snoop didn’t write his verses? And why do I feel like Snoop doesn’t know what malice means? Still, daps to the Uncle Snoop on putting the younger West Coast cats on a track. Terrace Martin can do no wrong by me.

Over a creeping lurch of a beat, Detroit/Chicago group Crown Nation emphatically chew through their bars, aided by a typically excellent and goofy Danny Brown verse. Pay attention to these cats.

I recently had the pleasure to speak with two of my favourite rappers, Masta Ace and Edo G., about their upcoming collaboration album, A&E. Ace and Edo spoke about hip-hop’s generation gap, how they’ve changed over the years and their opinions on Blueprint 3 . It took a bit for Ace to ...

This is one of the most confusing anti-drug PSAs I’ve ever heard. An obviously inebriated ODB implores listeners not to do drugs. khal at rock the dub and a few others aren’t feeling this track because of the obvious contradiction of ODB telling people not to do drugs, but I can rock with it ...

It’s good to see New York’s senior class sticking together. Pete Rock flips a cover version of “Eleanor Rigby” and Sheek spits some street shit.

PUTS’ new album Carried Away is one of my favorites of the year. No one has quite duplicated their brand of warm, feel-good rap without ditching sample-based production.

When he’s not unwinding his trademark crime stories , Raekwon is contemplating his mortality. I scanned Rae’s lyrics and found three specifications for Raekwon’s funeral:

DJ01 threatened to kill my dog if I didn’t snatch this from Mark Ronson’s Authentic Shit radio show last night .
