For awhile there I thought it was a wrap for Mr. Baracka Flacka Flame. His "Head Of The State" video was released well over a year ago so I assumed it'd be our last bit of hilariousness from Baracka Flacka. But to my surprise Baracka Flacka made his triumphant return to the internet with "I Run The Military" this week. And while the video might not be as hilarious as "Head Of The State" it's still pretty funny. See more...
While Far East Movement, Kid Cudi, Chip Tha Ripper, and Dot Da Genius may sound like too much of an eclectic array of talent for one song you'd probably be surprised at how well they sound together on Far East Movement's "Ride 4 U." Everything on this song seems to mesh so well together, from the rapping to the singing to the amazingly dope beat. Listen and download...
"I am so lost like paper no pen." That you are Justin Bieber, that you are. It's cool that Bieber knows how to rhyme certain words with one another, but at some point these freestyle sessions have got to stop. This kid has a very nicely paved lane for himself so I have no idea why he insists on not staying in it. See more...
After hearing "Stupid Hoe" I'm pretty convinced that Nicki Minaj's fan base is under the age of 15 and also enjoy Silly Bandz bracelets and monthly Pizza Day in the cafeteria. There's just no way a grown person can enjoy a song like "Stupid Hoe" or the equally awful "Roman In Moscow." There's absolutely no way. Listen and download...
The Kid Daytona is definitely one of those artists I've come to slowly. I've heard his name around for a minute and enjoyed the tracks I heard here or there, but it's only in the lead up to his new project, "The Interlude II", that I really started to pay attention - and I'm digging what I'm hearing. Listen and download...
I've got a policy against posting freestyles/remixes, but there's one exception to that policy - when 300 pound Queens rappers who like to rock Crocs remixes a smash hit from Justin Bieber.
Young Jeezy’s “A Hustlerz Ambition” Documentary Is Mostly Worth Watching (Video)
Part of me really wanted to spend 45 minutes watching a documentary about Young Jeezy, and part of me was understandably worried that I'd look back on it as an hour of my life that I'd never get back. But after watching Jeezy's cinematic debut I can proudly say...it's a little bit of both! Yeah! See more...
I feel like a bit of a dick for writing this, but is anyone else getting tired of inspiration rap? Don't get it twisted, swag rap still makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit, but this is starting to feel formulaic. Get a rock-edged Alex da Kid beat, grab Skylar Grey (or in this case Ester Dean) and rap about how no one believed in you. Listen and download...
For this latest edition of "Kanye West Gets All Super Intellectual On Us While On The Watch The Throne Tour" Kanye chats it up with Big Sean and takes photobooth pictures with Mary-Kate or Ashley Olsen, not sure which is which. Also anyone notice how Kanye West taking a picture with a random toddler is followed by someone yelling, "Sip the Ace and get pissy pissy?" Very classy transition there. See more...
Welcome to the Second Annual RefinedHype Awards! We're live The Source Awards, only with less stabbings (unfortunately). After more than week of debate and voting, I'm proud to announce the winners and/or losers of the most prestige Awards in rappity rap blogging.
