Three weeks ago RefinedHype Nation set out to answer one very simple question; who's the worst rapper alive? Much like determining who the best rapper alive is, it's a question that's far more difficult to answer than it may first appear, but we've answered it. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 2001 Worst Rapper Alive, Lil B! See more...
We're both hip-hop nerds. We were both fascinated by that Big Pun "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It (Remix)". We're brothers in hype. It was only natural that RefinedHype linked up with The Hypemen (a.k.a. the good folks behind ItsTheReal.com and Jensen Karp) to become the official download source for their podcast series. We now present to you episode forty featuring Bun B. Listen & download...
Between the 200 and change emails I get everyday and the constant onslaught of random interwebs craziness, it's inevitable that some deserving rappers don't make it onto RefinedHype's pages. But looking back on 2011 I didn't make a bigger mistake than not giving more time to Danny Brown. See more...

After listening to The Weeknd's latest project, "Echoes Of Silence," I think it's safe to say that either you like The Weeknd or you don't there's really no in between. It's impossible to just kind of like the overly emotional tones of his songs or the way his voice seems to morph into something completely different 82 times on one track. It just doesn't work like that. Listen and download...
Everyone's favorite, and I do mean favorite, RefinedHype series, "Mystery Booty of the Week (MBOW)" is back. Is the series a shameless and sexist way to keep your eyeballs glued to RefinedHype? You bet it is. Do I hear any complaints? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Whether it was "The Illest". unquestionably the best BET Cypher or anything else they even considered rhyming on, in many ways 2011 was the Year of Slaughterhouse. No one's bringing back that classic hip-hop "just rhyming as dopely as possible' feel than Budden, Crooked, Royce and Ortiz. The best rapper is the one who raps the best. Imagine that.
