All you really need to know about the music video for Drake, Lil Wayne, and Tyga's "The Motto" is that Lil Wayne dances around goofily while wearing lime green boots and leggings from Forever 21. Oh and the video also features a who's who of the Bay Area's finest including E-40 and Mistah Fab but they're there merely as eye candy. See more...

If you happen to reside in or near the New York City area and love Hip-Hop then you should most certainly be in the building when Pusha T rocks the Gramercy Theatre this Thursday (December 22nd). But in case you haven't been able to score yourself a ticket yet then you're in luck because Refined Hype is giving away a pair of tickets (yep, you and friend) to see Pusha T's show. See more...
To say that Common can hold his own would be a tremendous understatement so of course the original version of "Ghetto Dreams" which features three verses from Common instead of a verse from Nas is hella dope. I'm glad that Common went with the version featuring Nas for the album, but I'm not mad at this version at all and it still features Nas on the hook. Listen and download...
It's been quite some time since we've heard from singer/rapper Spree Wilson. In fact, I'm pretty sure the last time was around the April release of his album "The Never Ending Now."

It's been a really weird week for me musically. I spent the last few days listening to Common's "The Dreamer / The Believer", quickly transitioned to Young Jeezy's "TM103" and will now be spending my afternoon digesting Asher Roth's new project, "Pabst & Jazz". Yep, in 48 hours I've gone from epic hip-hop to unapologetic trap rap to a steady stream of semi-incepherable nerd references.
Today Common released his ninth studio album album "The Dreamer / The Believer", and to celebrate RefinedHype's taking a look back at the legendary Chicago emcee's best work, picking one track off each project. It's not easy to distill almost two decades of dopeness into one Best Of list, but that's why I get paid the big bucks.
Twenty years ago Tupac dropped his first ever single, the classic "Brenda's Got a Baby". That's right, his first ever single was about a twelve-year-old girl who was essentially raped, nearly kills her baby and then falls into a life of prostitution. Can you even remotely imagine that happening today? Listen and download...
