Three 6 Mafia|Last 2 Walk
Since Hustle & Flow earned Three Six Mafia an Oscar, things have been on the up and up. Now the only two remaining members, Juicy J and DJ Paul look to continue the string of hits. Things are a little different now, not only are these guys Oscar winners, but they are also reality TV [...]
Jay-Z Performs At Glastonbury
As many of you have probably already heard, Jay-Z performed at the 2008 Glastonbury music festival this weekend (That’s a small town in England people). Despite critics and Noel Gallagher, Jay-Z actually brought the house down. Jigga began the show strumming a guitar, rocking a scarf, and singing Oasis’ “Wonderwall” (Gallagher’s band).
New Songs From The New Nas Album
If you heard any of my statements about the new Nas album, you know that I’m really excited about it. Whether it’s called Nigger or Untitled doesn’t matter to me; I just know that what I’ve heard so far is good. Well, a couple of Nas tracks “leaked” today to my much delight and it’s [...]
Jacki-O Goes In
I know this is the first time I’ve mentioned Jacki-O on nappyafro, but I had to let this be heard to our readers. Jacki aired the dude Brisco out! Apparently Brisco threatened to “slap the shit” out of her at Weezy’s video shoot. Damn, it’s like that? She goes hard at Brisco for his actions, and [...]
RZA|Digi Snacks
While Hip-Hop used to be his only hustle, now RZA is making more noise in Hollywood with his sound. However he hasn’t forgot about his fans. Dropping his fourth solo album, Digi Snacks, RZA looks to capitalize on the shaky market. RZA already has a Platinum and Gold plaque for two previous efforts; can he [...]
Immortal Technique|The 3rd World
He’s probably the most decorated unheard of rapper in the history of Hip-Hop. He also is very angry. Immortal Technique IS the mad rapper. He’s not mad from hate, but mad about the state of all things political. Tech makes his moves on the underground scene with songs and topics that are usually too socially [...]
The Numbers Game: Weezy Keeps At It
Damn, I thought we was gonna take a break from posting Lil’ Wayne on the front page. I guess you can’t stop the inevitable since no other releases really made an impact this week. But then again, 2 Pistols and Blood Raw didn’t do too bad with both debut albums.
Wu-Tang Clan|Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers [1993]
Released in 1993 during the East Coast Renaissance, a time which we saw Das EFX, Black Moon, Nas, Onyx, and many other NY groups were ushering in a new era in Hip-Hop. But no one was prepared for the worldwide impact of the Wu-Tang Clan. Boasting 9 members, RZA, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, [...]
Song of the Week: Young Jeezy feat. Various Artists – “Soul Survivor (remix)”
Jeezy isn’t on my top spins list, but his adlibs are some of the best in the biz and he makes some decent songs. Couple that with Akon who has one of the most annoying and identifiable voices in history…but that man can put together a song. This weeks SOTW has them teaming up with [...]
BET Awards ‘08 Wrap-Up
Well, I just got finished watching the 2008 BET Awards with King Jerm and Slik P. It was okay for BET; good to see Black people together at an award show without someone getting punched or stabbed (Just joking…kinda). I’m not going to recap the whole show, just the good parts and all the Hip-Hop/Rap [...]
