At first I wasn’t gonna post this Jay-Z song. But when someone called me and said, “I heard a new song off Blueprint 3. It’s wack!”, I had to say something. Naw, this ain’t off Jay’s upcoming album, it’s a leftover track from American Gangster. I personally like it. Some people say it reminds them of 50’s “21 Questions”, but Hovi been asking chicks if they really down Read more

What? Is nappyafro becoming one of “those” sites? Naw, we still about the music.

I know that a lot of you guys hate everything about Weezy, but I’m starting to understand why. How high was Weezy when he decided to make a rock album? Why didn’t anyone intervene and say that this might not be a good idea? Looking at the recent success of a rushed album by Kanye got Weezy to put on his “thinking cap”. Read more

I actually paid some attention in school and I remember them saying that time is cyclical; meaning that things come back around. It’s true in wars and strategies, fads, and culture just to name a few. Hip-Hop is not immune to this natural occurring theme. Read more
