As you can see from above, yesterday I made my obligatory stop by Best Buy. Yup, I fought the temptation of acknowledging TC, his luring e-mail comment ("That new Tech leaked") and paid my hard-earned cash to show support to the HHO Artist Of The Week . Halfway through my own personal listening session, I get to the first of two Nina solo tracks off this collaborative disc, "Blown Away," and hear Mr. Fuck The Industry himself is throwing a few jabs at Keisha Cole. By the time I realized they were referencing the situation [...]
Substantial of QN5 and Up and Up TV sit down for an interview with Rakim . Rakim speaks about coming up with a musical upbringing and how that's influenced him as a hip hop artist. Rakim speaks on playing the sax in school, and how he used to try to mimic John Coltraine's cadence on the sax with his flow. Rakim also speaks on the Nas comparison, and how Nas used to come to the studio when Rakim was recording Paid in Full and Follow The Leader. He speaks [...]
Hip-hop is clearly the most impactful and important musical genre that has emerged in the past thirty years. And much of it has been built on the rhythmic foundations of soul. Stax has just released The Soul Of Hip Hop , a compilation of Stax songs that were used for tracks and beats in famous hip hop songs, including De La Soul, Rakim, DJ HiTek, Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, DJ Quik, Ice Cube, Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, RZA and more [...]
'The Diary (World's Greatest Rap Megamix)' dropped in 2007 and it was a 800+ track mix that really really did what it said on the proverbial cylindrical metal container. If you missed that one, then you can download it for nothing at Music of Substance's downloads page . As a stop gap between that and the second volume, which is currently being worked on, Chris has put together 'The Diary Volume 1.5 (Twenty Years of the Remix)'. This time the tracks are split and named (an easier task than [...]
There are some shows where the connection made between the artist and the audience is evident, and that bond goes a long way towards making the show a memorable one. And there are some shows, like Tricky's performance at the Fine Line, where that connection is not only apparent, but it's tangible, demonstrated by Tricky's plunge into the crowd during the encore of his two-hour set to shake hands and thank nearly all of the audience in the packed club for coming out to the show. It was a manifestation of a relationship between Tricky and the crowd that had [...]
"Guess Who's Back" is a 1997 single by Rakim from his '97 solo debut The 18th Letter. Clark Kent produces the beat, employing hard, stilted drums combined with a slowed-down keyboard loop from Bob James' "Shamboozie". Kent scratches Chuck D from "Bring The Noise" and Rakim for the intro to set the mood: [Chuck D]: Back once again, it's the incredible/[Rakim]: Rakim Allah "Guess Who's Back" also received a strange music video, featuring Rakim doing some poor acting in a orange robe.

Few occupations get as little respect as the female MC. That wasn't always the case. Women have rocked the mic since the early days of hip hop and were once as central to its story as their male counterparts. The new compilation Fly Girls! aims to balance the record by telling the story of the female MC.
Words By Jesse H. It's been a year and I still miss The Wire and all its characters. We said our final goodbyes in 2008 but recent endless viewings of the DVD box set had me feeling sentimental and inspired. It's the "Who would play me in a movie?" game further realized and repurposed, i.e. which rappers would play characters on The Wire ? So, without further adieu... [...]

As long as the Microsoft linguists who're responsible for updating Word are adding "Barack" and "Obama" to the spell-check dictionary, they should throw in "Rakim." It's about time — as he confirmed at Harpers Ferry Friday night, homeboy is pretty much the greatest MC ever to grip a mic. READ THE REVIEW FROM LAST WEEK AT HARPERS IN BOSTON HERE...

The other day, while I was daydreaming about gutting Bill O'Reilly and feeding his cyanide laced insides to the Fox News crew, it occurred to me that Bill was a machine sent here from Hell, and that, by design, he had no edible insides. I was saddened, and gravely needed a song to listen to as a pick me up. This is how I ended up typing in a random word into my Winamp search. "Uplift" Mr. Allah, or Rakim as I like to call him, is [...]

Shouts to my folk DJ Delz for hitting me with this video of classic era Hip-Hop MC Rakim performing at the soon to be closing Knitting Factory in NYC during their last Hip-Hop concert yesterday (so many live Hip-Hop venues are closing nationwide, it's a shame). In my opinion, Rakim is one of the few MCs in Hip-Hop - especially representing East Coast Hip-Hop Music sound and feel - that has not fallen off and as remained solid - real talk. Take notes on how to perform live future MCs and rappers [...]
A couple of weeks back I discovered an act going by the name of Meterhead. The only thing I could find out about them was that they are based in Los Angeles so, I decided to find out a bit more about them but after I sent the following questions over I'm still no wiser. All I do know is that they make great music. So who are the members of Meterhead? We are based out of Los Angeles, but 1 of us lives in north cal... We prefer to remain nameless. [...]
