Very understandable. She comes from a farm raised background where her family had more cattle than chickens or goats. Beef was the main source of protein and without it, she’d seriously lack the nutrients needed to take care of her body. Lola Monroe, as she likes to be called, said that...

Max claims he can’t just spend the whole 30 year sentence in jail. He’s too wavy for that. He must be free to express his waviness in the free world. Well here’s the thing. You kill somebody, you spend time in jail. Unfortunately, even the waviest of wavy people still must...

From the homie DJ Concept: Who remembers the old St. Ides commercials? Go ahead, raise your hand & show your age a bit, it’s OK. I did this set live on our radio show (www.milkcrateradio.com) and then decided to re-record it for your listening pleasure. I figured the best way to get...

Finally Pen is putting it on tape! The more Pen we get, the better the game is. Keep going in,...

The worst thing that could have happened with Domination is beefing with 50. Not only did it distract him from working on good music but it’s also the main thing people associate duke with. Domination can actually spit and make dope songs. Here’s a sample. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player...

Will’s been bringing a fresh breath of air into the game lately. Check out his whole project and see if he’s worth following. Download Will Roush’s Know My Name Tracklist 1- Intro: Will Meets Biggie 2- What I Gotta Do Dilla (produced by J Dilla) 3- 21st Birthday (produced by Young...

It’s not that we don’t like what Nick’s doing here. We’re just tired of all these “concept” projects where all the samples are jacked from the same source. Maybe you like it. Hey, either way you can check it out. Oh yeah, the mixtape’s dropping Friday. Audio clip: Adobe...

Gucci Mane – She Got A Friend (feat. Juelz Santana & Big Boi) Gucci really cares about the fact that she is somewhat sociable. I mean, she doesn’t have a tight circle of homegirls, but she does have a friend. That means that she’s not a loner cus that would be weird....

Each day we’re harassing N.O.R.E. with a question. The question can be about anything and everything and we’re going to print N.O.R.E.’s response exactly as he sends it back. If you have any questions you’d like the one and only N.O. to answer, leave ‘em in the...

Check out my man Broadway who sounds like he swallows gravel with the same frequency most people use mouthwash. This was a seriously dope song and video though with the perfect usage of a Krs-One sample. The Blastmaster even decided to hop in front of the camera for the video. This is some...

I know “Free told [you] to bring the fire back,” but he did not mean like this. Bizz, you can actually rhyme, so leave this dumb Autotune shit alone. We don’t want it, we don’t need it and we can’t post anything you do containing anything Autotune anymore because this is a fair...

This post isn’t really supposed to be about Kelly Ripa but about DJ JS-1′s appearance on the Regis and Kelly Show in promotion of his new album Ground Original 2: No Sell Out, but I can’t help but comment that even with her utter mockery of an artform I love, Kelly Ripa is...

Dude, Cash Money played out the Gucci all over print fad. You kind of remind me of Kay Slay’s style of dress. Horrible, with a touch of “WTF”. He needs to cut it with that overtly tacky style as well. It just doesn’t GO...

Shout out to Junclassic, who has not only stepped his game up majorly since the first time I met him back in ’04, but he’s also one of the few who can actually make fresh music while paying tribute to the greats. Here’s “The Owner,” a tribute to G. Rap’s “Road to the Riches”...

Our buddy Matt Diamond sent us this Black Skeptik since he’s in the MTVu Freshman contest, whatever that is. I got the basic cable package so that means I don’t even get MTV2, but hey, maybe some of you have it and want to vote for this guy, who’s very fresh and could double...

Nicki Minaj’s BET.com Video Blog Entry #1 from Andreas Hale on Vimeo. Nicki Minaj has recently started a Vlawg with BET and has titled her first episode “Step Ya Cookies Up”. I was once eating a Hydrox (remember those bootleg Oreos?) and Nikki spotted me, only to blast me in...

Finally a contest worth entering! Peep rules: Hurricane Chris’ “She’s Fine (Halle Berry)” is taking the music world by storm! Now, Jimmy Jazz, along with our friends at BallerStatus.com and Hurricane’s label, J Records have teamed up to create the ‘Halle Berry’ dance contest! If...

La Coka Nostra get a lot of Vajayjay and Becky thrown their way and it’s hard to knock it all out at once. Even with their extensive crew, it’s hard to only “do the dew” once during the day. Plus you have to take on like 60 groupies per member. So, they added another...

Having the same email for four years means one thing – it’s much easier for the spammas and bammas to find you. I got this email today and it led me on to other sites. Let’s just say I was a little intrigued that when I got an email from Lil’ Trae since I didn’t...

In Pen’s new HipHopGame journal, BK’s resident foodie lets you know how to get your Pen Sweve game on proper: “If you go to motherfucking White Castle, ask for a gallon of sweet tea. Put it in your freezer for 45 minutes, ‘til it gets real slushy. Throw some Henny, some...

Really don’t understand this, but I guess smoking, drinking a “Hot Tottie” and then humping for an hour sounds like a perfect remedy for...

I guess Illa Geezy is what you’d get if Illa Ghee and Young Jeezy co-adopted. No word yet on how our homie Illa Ghee feels about it, but if he took offense at Rihanna, we know he’s not gonna be too happy about this. We eagerly await his response. Oh, and we’re not sure which...

So Tash has this new jawn with B-Real called “How Hi Can You Get”. Hold up? I doubt you meant how “high” because that’s a played out theme, right? So I think there was an error on the title and it’s really supposed be “How Many Hi’s Can You...

You know it’s not very often that an album comes along that’s worth copping, especially when the artist is giving you the best songs already for free download then asking you to buy the table scraps on iTunes. If you’re getting the mac and cheese for free, why pay for the...

2Face which is 2/3rds of the legendary Natural Elements crew teams up with dope producer Charlemagne to rap using an extened King Tut metaphor. A comic book villain, Egyptian Pharoah, and medieval King all meeting. Talk about revisionist history! This is seriously dope by the way and coming...

Jamal, one time member of the Def Squad (Yo where’s he at?!?) takes us back to 95 once again with “Keep It Real.” From his rarely mentioned but should be more album Last Chance No Breaks Jamal gets riggidity rugged over some classic Erick Sermon production (one of the most...

No one warned me today that my inbox was gonna be flooded with worthless, tasteless press releases. Here’s another one that serves as a reminder that there are plenty of better things to do than watch MTV: “I wanted to remind you about tonight’s episode of “Run’s...

Uh oh. Poison Pen is world-renowned for having the bestest journal ever. That was until J-Zone threw his blogging hat into the ring. Check out what the Old Maid Billionaire has to say about the lady in Connecticut who owned a chimp that attacked her friend: “Silly ho, listen. That’s a...

I’m usually a fan of anything Wrekonize does (yeah, the MTV battle guy), so I’m expecting to like this too. The official album is gonna be on iTunes June 23rd, but you can also get it for free if you’re the kind of low-life that would rather download music than support the...

Plies is having one helluva week. After finally getting a BJ from some chick named Becky, the rapper quoted on Joell Ortiz’s Twitter let go, as Lenny Dykstra would say, $50 large into a crowd. The only thing sillier than that is the press release that alerted me: “Over the weekend on...

Browz wasn’t concerned with his remix being “disrespectful” but more so with the fact that the song’s intent is to stop dudes from taking off their shirts in the clubs. Why else would he say it’s “disrePECTful”? Definition: Dis-re-pect: to not...

Hey, being a movie star, and a kind of lame one at that, can grow tiresome. I know if I were Kevin Spacy I’d be rapping to. Oh yeah, it helps that I have the same last name as the chorus in the song. Oh, and not the best rapping here either. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or...

More of that old time good boom bap ish! Artifacts where undeniably ill. “The Ultimate” was the first single from their second album That’s Them. Peep out Tame One and El da Sensei rocking the ski googles. That’s some realness right...

Rumor has it, the two met up in Nore’s castle, where Digga was anointed the ability to use cuss words with two swift taps of a sword to both of Digga’s shoulders. Rumor also has it, the producer is now cursing like a...

Here’s a new kid on the block you can actually listen to, Darnell Dollaz, who’s working with Illmind on his new project. Sorry, buddy, I didn’t have a picture of you and the next most famous “Darnell” I could think of was the journeyman ballplayer. Audio clip:...

Here’s a freestyle and interview Kay M recently did with Tim Westwood. Not a bad freestyle either here, but you gotta love it when Kay M says that Terrence from 106 and Park keeps checking up on him to make sure he’s still on the grind. Good thing Terrence is there to keep him in...
