What a great thing to come home to after a long ass day at work. Classified released the visuals for his latest single "Unusual" which was on last year's Handshakes & Middle Fingers ; the cut features Jump-Off Joe Beezy and a brain bruising beat complete with a perfectly utilized sample. "Unusual" is one of my favorite cuts off one of my favorite albums of 2011. I've said it time and time again, but Classified is one of the most consistent guys in Hip-Hop over the last 5 years; everything this guy does is well above average, [...]

Lokz along with an assist from Slaughterhouse's own Joe Budden releases the official visuals for his single "Cheated."

Joe Budden hops on with Philly's Young Chris (formerly of Young Gunz) for a new extremely club friendly jam entitled, "Lower". While the hook may be leave a little to be desired.. the beat, and the personality of the two east coast rappers more than make up for the rest.

Joe Budden and Young Chris link up for a new track called "Lower". Shit is hot. With the way everyone is doing collaboration mixtapes and albums these days, I'd be all for a Slaughterhouse and State Property joint venture. Both teams have numerous all-star MC's. Only downside would be each track would have to run 8+minutes in order for each of team to fully shine. Flex bombs are minimum on this cut. JOE BUDDEN FEAT. YOUNG CHRIS - LOWER

Last week I sent ON&ON the same e-mail I sent everybody else: put together a brief write-up of one reason why hip-hop was dead in 2011 that we can compile for a list. This is what I got back. Reason 1 Hip Hop Is Feminine I have no problem with gays...shit, both my sons are mad gay, and so is my mother. What I do have a problem with is my hip hop being gay. I now realize that when LL wrote Jack The Ripper [...]
