Kid Cudi|Man On The Moon: The End Of Day

Alright, if you’ve been to the forums, then you know that I’m not the biggest Kid Cudi fan. He’s just too different. I mean, can you even call what he does Hip-Hop or rap? Plus, what is his appeal? The man can rap, but he’s not running for “Best Rapper Alive” anytime soon Read more

DMF of the Week: Kanye West

Glad I got back from Philly in time to write this…what do you get when you add a bottle of cognac to one of the world’s biggest egos?? Taylor Swift in tears, apparently. Damn. Kanye has jumped on stages before bitchin’ about not winning when he thought Read more

Boomin’ From The Stoop: Sleeping

Man, is it me, or is the Hip-Hop world asleep?? When every single major release is a mixtape and the latest interesting news is Joe Budden getting punched in the eye, you KNOW the game is asleep right now. This is one of the reasons why I hate summer Read more

De La Soul|De La Soul Is Dead [1991]

I noticed that none of De La Soul’s records have made in our Classic Material page, and I immediately decided to change that. A lot of you fans are gonna say: “What! De La Soul is Dead?!? Why didn’t 3 Feet High and Rising get any love?” We’ll get to 3 Feet High and Rising in time Read more

Twista|Category F5

I’m not gonna lie. I’m not a Twista fan. Don’t get me wrong, he’s got skills and I don’t hate him, but it’s not like I’d stop what I was doing just bump some Twista. His verse on “Slow Jamz” with Kanye and Jamie Foxx in ‘04 is what made him a lot more prolific in the game, but even before that Read more

How To Save Hip-Hop

It seems like you can’t start a conversation about Hip-Hop without talking about one of the following: the latest hot single on the radio, Auto-Tune, and whether or not Hip-Hop is dead. Well, I’ve compiled a list of five things that we, the listeners, can do in order to save Hip-Hop Read more

Ol’ Dirty Bastard|Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version [1995]

I was listening to this album as I was preparing for my final exams coming up this week, and in many ways, Ol’ Dirty Bastard was the Lil’ Wayne of today. That comparison definitely doesn’t do ODB any justice at all; he was one of the originators of what we call Hip-Hop today Read more

Freeway|Philadelphia Freeway 2

When I first heard about this album, it seemed almost too good to be true: Freeway was not only making another album, but it would be the sequel to his debut album, Philadelphia Freeway, a solid album that, to this day, remains a hood classic Read more

DJ Paul|Scale-A-Ton

I figured someone on the site would call us on DJ Paul not being in, but no one said anything (Maybe everyone was too busy downloading Relapse). While we could just forget this album and check it under the “who gives a shit” column, it’s on the album list Read more

Friday Night Fro: Menace II Society

Yeah, it’s about time we put this up here. It’s Friday, and I have to take some SAT Subject Tests tomorrow, so I’m not gonna do a lot of talking here. When I first saw this movie at age 14, it was without a doubt the hardest movie I had ever seen. Read more
