There's not many words that I can write that will do justice to Adam 'MCA' Yauch, one third of the Beastie Boys, who lost his fight with cancer this past weekend. Many have penned moving tributes to the impact that Yauch had in his chosen fields of music, his lesser known talent for film making , and his humanitarian efforts. Others have shown their love through small actions, with Yauch's home town sporting teams the New York Mets and New York Knicks giving respect where it's due. [...]

Add-2's lyrics are razor sharp giving you great metaphors and witty punchlines for 20 tracks of Hip Hop gold that ends with a well deserved big up from Common to lead into the Ghetto Dreams [...]

CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW VIDEO Fresh from his exclusive Word Is Bond interview Rashid Hadee puts out visuals to the track 'Man's Best Friend' from his recent Aural Sex release. Using a dog as a metaphor for a relationship is kinda weird, in my opinion, but it's interesting (you can interpret it in a few ways) and it works. Visuals are low key but work well too.

So the people over at MTV still like to focus on music once in awhile. Shocking? Yes, I know. They have done some countdowns of music already, but just wrapped up the "Hottest" rappers for the year list and I'm sure this will cause a stir. The list sort of seems kind off, but at the same time a lot the rappers they listed have consistently been in the media. It's interesting to see the main players of Maybach Music all in the list. Also, kind of annoyed that J.Cole was snubbed, even if [...]

MTV has come up with their latest list of the "hottest" rappers in the game for the year and it is, as always, bound to bring up debate. You can check out the list below, and head over to MTV for their explanations and some additional information. Obviously a lot of great rappers were left off this list, and probably some you weren't expecting to see are on it. Regardless, it's really weird to see Jay-Z and Meek Mill next to each other on any list. What do you think? Who is your top ten right now? Rick Ross at [...]
