The Numbers Game: Hey Joe
This is another one of those weeks where the movement on the charts is really slow (For Hip-Hop at least). We do have some new entries though; two to be exact
Saigon & Statik Selektah|All In A Day’s Work
The plot is simple, one of the East Coast’s best kept secrets and one of the hottest producers in the game go in the lab and kick out an album in a day…yes, 24 hours (give or take a few). How does it come out?
What’s Beef In 2009?
The late great Christopher Wallace may have asked (and answered) the question “What’s Beef?” over a decade ago, but in 2009 Rap Beefs seems to be still prevalent in Hip-Hop. We are still in the second month of this year and already the diss songs are all over the place.
Songs of the Week: Joe Budden vs. Saigon
So I guess this whole beef between Joe Budden & Saigon is getting pretty heated huh? As of today (And I’m sure that will change soon), we have 4 diss songs of these two going back and forth. See, back in the day, we had to wait a while for beef records to come out
Why Saigon Is Like George W. Bush
Our homie BDub over at yourfavoritewhiteboy.com wrote a dope article comparing George W. Bush to rapper Saigon. We really haven’t covered the whole Joe Budden vs. Saigon beef here at nappyafro.com (I just finished listening to Saigon’s “Under-Achiever”), and since BDub covers it so eloquently, I figured I’d let him explain it.
The Stoop: Where Are They Now?
As the youngest member of the nappyafro crew, I find that it is my duty to show a different side of the new school Hip-Hop. I mean, Bow Wow USED to be a decent rapper, right? And Romeo isn’t that bad at all. I feel like the new school generation gets a bad rep only [...]
Roc Nation: Will It Be Different This Time?
We’ve all heard that Hov signed a deal with Live Nation, which is called Roc Nation, and this deal will be used to fund all of Jay’s entertainment ventures, like a new record label, also called Roc Nation. This deal was signed back in April, and was reported worth 150 Million DOLLARS! However, for this [...]
Song of the Week: Joell Ortiz feat. Jadakiss & Saigon – “Hip Hop (remix)”
Keeping up with the theme of the day, I decided to make Song of the Week “Hip-Hop” (remix) by Joell Ortiz, featuring Jadakiss and Saigon. I have to be honest, I’m real late on the Joey Ortiz bandwagon, but I’ll admit when I am wrong.
iPod Hustle: Saigon, Thugnificent, Alicia Keys, & 50 Cent
People ask me all the time; “B-Easy, what you rocking to right now?” or “B, what’s on your iPod?” Okay, maybe they e-mail me the questions too. But, I really never answer the questions because the music I listen to is constantly changing. Well, thanks to modern technology, I can now see what songs I [...]
XXL’s “Leaders of the New School”
In their upcoming November issue, XXL lists and co-signs Hip-Hop’s Next Superstars or “Leaders of the New School”. While we don’t necessarily agree with the list, everybody got their own opinion right? At least some rappers who aren’t yet that well know got to be on the cover of XXL. But come on, aren’t half [...]
