Lil’ Mama|VYP: Voice Of The Young People (by B-Easy)

You know, running a Hip-Hop review site is a good thing. You get to review and rate the music that you love and hold close to your heart. But sometimes, if you wanna be fair, you gotta review music that you don’t necessarily look forward to.

The problem is when you trash an album before you listen to it. That long intro leads me to the album I’m reviewing here, Lil’ Mama’s VYP: Voice Of The Young People. Read more

Scarface|Made (by Thic Flair)

I really don’t have/need/want to do an intro for this man. Lets be honest, rappers with this kind of longevity and success are few and far between. I am not talking about Grammy’s or anything like that, I’m talking about credibility Read more
