“Unbelievable”
I hope you guys didn’t think we forgot about the late, great Christopher Wallace aka Notorious B.I.G. We wanted to dedicate this installment to him. While it is HARD to pick ONE song from him, I finally decided on “Unbelievable”. Nuff said. So as always, kick back, and enjoy this installment of Song of the [...]
Song of the Week: Notorious B.I.G. – “Kick In The Door”
“This goes out to you, this goes out to you, this goes out to you, and you, and you, and you!” It’s hard being a King, hell it’s hard wearing a crown all the time. I’m not complaining because someone has to do it. We have all these Carl Thomas ass niggas in the World..they [...]
DJ Drama & Cookin’ Soul|The Notorious B.I.G. Tribute [Mixtape]
I can still remember my ex-girlfriend calling me early in the morning and telling me about Biggie’s death. March 9th 1997. 12 years later, Iam glad to say that Christopher George Latore Wallace’s name is still alive and well. After seeing the trailer for this mixtape, I was definitely interested. Cookin Soul takes the original [...]
King Jerm’s Letter To B.I.G.
What’s good B.I.G? This is coming from someone you bumped into over 15 years ago at a show at NCA&T. I told you the story about how I found my ticket on the ground and you laughed. I remember meeting you like it was yesterday.
The Numbers Game: Notorious Debuts At #4
Not only did the soundtrack to the movie Notorious take the #4 spot on the album charts, the movie itself also took #4 at the box office (It grossed around 20 million dollars). Well, I guess thats not too bad. Of course we all wanted it to do better but then again it could have [...]
Masters Of Skit-Hop
You have to dig in the crates quite a ways back to find out when skits became big on Hip-Hop albums. If I remember it right, I THINK it was De La Soul that pretty much escorted this practice into regular status in Hip-Hop. On some albums, it’s a major player and adds to the [...]
The Notorious B.I.G.|Notorious [OST]
I wanna make things clear; I love Biggie. Before people started calling me a “Jay-Z stan”, The Notorious B.I.G. was my hands down best MC of all time (I’ve said this before but still…). But for some reason, I’m still unsure about the Notorious movie. Not to say I’m not curious; there’s a lot of [...]
Rappers Who Should Have Movies Based On Their Lives
With The Notorious B.I.G. biographical film Notorious scheduled for release on January 2009, the obvious discussion comes up about what other rappers have big screen worthy life stories. I mean, we kinda had that with 8 Mile & Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. But those movies where loosely based on the lives of 50 Cent [...]
iPod Hustle: The Madd Rapper
Reppin’ Brooklyn to the fullest and wearing his hate for rich rappers as a badge of honor, The Madd Rapper is quite frankly hilarious. As the creation and alter ego of producer Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie, The Madd Rapper first got major exposure on the intro of The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Kick In The Door” off Life [...]
The Notorious B.I.G|Ready To Die (The O.G. Edition) [Mixtape]
At first I wasn’t gonna post this when we first got this in our e-mail on Friday. But as the weekend commenced I had this feeling in the back of my head that I really should have. Shit, I may believe that Jay-Z is the “Best Rapper Ever” right now. But for a long LONG [...]
