The Best 30 Rappers Over 30

A few Tuesday’s ago (May, 19th to be exact) we saw album releases from Busta Rhymes, Method Man/Redman, & of course, Eminem. This was so far the biggest release date of 2009.

Song of the Week: Scarface feat. 2Pac – “Smile”

I know B-Easy hates when I do a really old song for Song of the Week, but sometimes you got to put people on songs that they might have not heard before. That being said,

The Numbers Game: Akon Is #7

What’s up people? It’s Thursday and once again it’s time for another edition of The Numbers Game. Leading the Hip-Hop/R&B debuts this week is Akon with his new album Freedom at #7. Now I’m a be real with you: I haven’t had any urge to listen to this album at all. Not to say it’s [...]

Is this the first time Scarface has been chosen for Song of the Week? WOW! Well we have a thumper right here for you! This is one of the best collabos of all time. You have Scarface, Jay-Z, Beanie, and Kanye (well Kanye just said a line) on the track

Scarface|Made

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
