Yo, I be hatin’ when someone says their gonna do something and they don’t go through with it, even if there’s a legit excuse. It irks me, especially if I’m the one that flakes. I know I’m not the only one. This also transfers over into the world of hip-hop. For example, take the case of the disappearing single. See more....
If anything Drake is helping expand the genre and culture. In fact, by Drake having seen his fair share of money before his meteoric rise in rap I feel like he's actually creating music because he actually wants to, not to get rich, sell an album, get paid and bounce on us.

The phenomenon of calling pause or no-homo for things that sound gay is funny. I find irony in the fact that some of the most clever and/or hardcore rhymes in hip-hop can have the gayest connotations. There are plenty pause-worthy lines in hip-hop songs that we all know about. Below I break down a few that always give me a good laugh. See more...
