El DeBarge never ages. Well, at least his music doesn't. Even though this classic clip seems to be from the mid-to-late '90s, the family-oriented vocalist from the '80s hits both [...]
Where were you when you found out SpaceGhostPurrp signed to 4AD? What did you tweet? Did you ponder the relative craziness of the label of Tune-Yards putting out an album by a guy with songs titled “Suck A Dick 2012”? Did you wonder how the advance money for 4AD compares to what Purrp could have gotten at a rap label? I’m seriously asking. Because I spent my time wondering what the fuck took so long. For years we’ve watched some of our most artistically vibrant rappers burn off their best shit on free mixtapes they release to MediaFire, with very little [...]

This is one of this instances in which there's really not much I can say other than look down and peep the full lineup for this year's Rock The Bells. Oh wait, I have a few thoughts: Why is Mac Miller on there? No, wait, why is 2 Chainz on there?! This lineup is way too stacked and has too many big names. It's become clear that Rock The Bells has become overwhelmingly mainstream, which is fine. Gotta get paid, right? But why do they have to do [...]

"The essence of Hip Hop, you got love what you do and do what you love." Chicago's Loyal Divide reached out to various artists they love, and asked them to add their own spin to Loyal Divide's popular tune, "Vision Vision". The record comes from Loyal Divide's latest LP, Bodice Ripper , the remixes come from a wide range of artists including BBU, White Horse, Sub Swara, and others. Perhaps the most surprising and intriguing collaborator is the Cali legend, DJ Quik, who also appears to have the most fun. Listen to the DJ Quik version below [...]
It’s been seven years since the inaugural Paid Dues Independent Hip Hop Festival took place in Los Angeles. The annual music festival has since gained a solid reputation for its celebration of the diversity in the underground rap universe. Curator Murs’ vision hasn’t changed, even if the fest’s venues and sponsors have—his commitment to supporting up-and-coming artists is unwavering—but this year, it seems he had to make a few concessions to keep attendance up in this economy, and as a result, Paid Dues 2012 had more big name acts than ever. Beyond the stacked lineup, the event was [...]
Atzi DJ Quik @ the Gaelic Thursday, March 15th 2012 Reviewed by The Baroness In the thirty plus years since the ‘official’ inception of recorded Hip-Hop music, one could argue that no sub-genre of Hip-Hop music has permeated popular culture quite like the legacy of gangster-funk a.k.a. G-Funk. Vehemently abhorred by pockets of so-called Hip-Hop [...]
