Lil’ Wayne|Rebirth
I didn’t think we’d end up reviewing this one since it’s not technically Hip-Hop; Plus most of you have had this album for the past couple of months anyway (Shout out to Amazon!). But we all love Weezy over here, so we figured why not. Lil’ Wayne has been pulling out the guitar like crazy [...]
Play It Again Sam: Kanye West|808’s & Heartbreak
2008 was my first year on the ‘Fro, and I was doing it real big; I went from reviewing Green City and Yung Berg to reviewing T.I. and Kanye in just 2 months! The Kanye album I had been skeptical about the entire year, mainly because I thought the Auto-Tune thing was wack and seeing [...]
2009 Album Of The Year: Jay-Z|The Blueprint 3
I wanted to write this column because when “Off That” leaked to the internet and the first tracklisting came out, I didn’t believe it. I thought Jay had fallen off, that he had gone Kingdom Come again. Then when I finally got the whole album, it was like I ate all of my words. Sure, [...]
nappyafro Presents: The House Party Mixtape
First it was The Good Morning Mixtape now here’s The House Party Mixtape. New Year’s is coming up, which means that the house parties are about to go down (Yessir!), so what better selection of music to bump than Hip-Hop? Rather that, what better selection of music to bump than a mixtape provided by ya [...]
FFWD’s: Hurricane Chris|Unleashed
Raise your hand if you wanted a full review of Hurricane’s new album. Yeah, I figured. That’s why we’re doing a FFWD on this
Clipse|Til The Casket Drops
What can you say about Clipse? I can say that they are a very underrated Hip-Hop group. You know, the type that everyone knows makes good music, but were never exceptionally successful commercially
50 Cent|Before I Self Destruct
I hope it doesn’t count as hating if I say that ever since 2003’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, 50 has gotten worse with time. I hope it doesn’t, because the truth in that statement is fact; Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ has sold
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
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
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
