  Now that Mac Miller has become a major part of the sound coming out of Pittsburgh, it's pretty interesting hearing him adopt a sound from a completely different part of the country on "Someone Like You." On the record Miller takes on the chopped and screwed style prominent in Texas and the end result is quite unique to say the least. See more...

  RubyHornet is a pretty damn good interwebs site. But where the Chicago crew distinquishs themselves is in going from reporting on hip-hop to creating it.

  Even before hearing "Dedication 4", I think we can ask if anyone still cares about hearing a new Lil Wayne mixtape. Ok, scratch that, let me rephrase. I'm sure thousands of people will download anything Wayne drops...do any hip-hop heads care about hearing a new Lil Wayne mixtape?See more...

  Lecrae & Big K.R.I.T. Issue a Hip-Hop “Mayday” to the World (Listen)

  Filed under Big K.R.I.T., Lecrae

  Sure, it probably helps if you get the more specific Christian references in Lecrae's music, but it's no more necessary then knowing exactly what blocks Bun B is talking about when he raps about Houston. There's a true universality to Lecreae's music, and quality that comes up again in his new single "Mayday". See more...

  For years I've been screaming about the dangers of rappers using share site links, and for the most part the world's looked at me like one of those crazy homeless dudes holding a cardboard sign. Fair enough, but the fact that UserShare is now hardcore porn, proves I'm not completely crazy. See more...

  Filed under Videos, Kanye West, Humor, 2 Chainz

  I don't even know where to start with this one. The little kids giving Kanye the middle finger? Kanye's titty cake? The older gentleman drinking liquor straight from the bottle? Actually, I think I'll start with the clown getting jumped by a group of partygoers. So with those few mentions you can probably see why 2 Chainz' "Birthday Song" music video is likely the most random video you'll ever see in life. See more...

  “March to my death smiling, laugh if the end’s violent, there’s no escape from this political asylum...” These are the words on the introductory song on my favorite album of 2008, and arguably one of my favorite albums of all-time, Immortal Technique's "The Third World."See more...
