If "keeping it real" still matters at all in hip-hop, Kitty (formerly Pryde) ceremoniously dismantled the notion that she doesn't this week when she published a mini-treatise on the complicated politics of sexual assault. Yet regardless of her consistently brainy web engagement, she continues to be regarded as merely a meme. Before her piece hit the web, we had plans to talk to her about exactly that: Her status as a serious rapper and how she got to be where she is, despite a lot of naysaying. Read our interview below, where she and I discuss her friendship [...]

Here at Potholes, we love us some Nardwuar. I mean, who doesn't love the Human Serviette? He's probably the most well-known music journalist to geeks like me—and the other folks who scribble down digital thoughts on here. He's also capable of grounding most artists and making them realize it's a damn privilege to be talking to someone who's both knowledgeable and entertaining. Yeah, some of you hate his shtick, but you can't act like he hasn't surprised you with his deeper-than-fucking-Wikipedia smarts. Now, if only he could do another interview with Questlove—seriously, if you haven't watched it, [...]

In the final instalment of Mike Skinner and Danny Brown's sit-down the Detroit native reveals that cream soda is a superior sizzurp mixer than Sprite, third-person beats first-person for the ultimate gaming experience, and finds that Quavers are "crack" while Skips disappoint.

Noisey / Vice continue their fantastic exploitation of all things Danny Brown , today releasing both the fourth installment of his Back & Forth series with Mike Skinner / The Streets , and the below "intimate interview". See the latest pieces here, catch up with parts 1-3 , and hear the latest on brown's upcoming album details .

Danny on a potential Newport ad campaign with his dad, getting on to Dizzee, The Streets and Wiley early, putting Schoolboy Q on to grime and the 140bpm heritage making UK rappers more dexterous.

More priceless banter from the ex-Streets frontman and Detroit's biggest cunnilingus enthusiast.

Its been a long time waiting, but we wanted to drop the first part of our web series video project. Here's coverage of Iheartcomix's Fool's Gold Day Off Block Party in Downtown LA on Sunday October 7th. The show featured ... Continued

Blu has been dubbed one of L.A.'s brightest talents after the release of his project with Exile, Below The Heavens . Following up after that modern day classic, Blu gave us projects with insane raw raps with dusty loops in Johnson&Jonson , a funky beat driven record in CRAC Knuckles , lo-fi atmospheric records like the jazzy HerFavoriteColo(u)r , Jesus , and even a tribute to the L.A. instrumental scene spear headed by Flying Lotus and the Low End Theory camp. I recently sat down the MC best described [...]

Noisey is on fire with this Back & Forth interview series, and they obviously love Danny Brown up in the mix. For this latest output, DB sits down with fellow Detroit natives and infamously esoteric leaders of the underground Insane Clown Posse. The three chop it up about all types of stuff, including legal troubles, common perceptions, and the industry today.

This is lil Danny Brown from the "Grown Up" video . This kid wins.

Shouts to Noisey who has been throwing together some good interviews with A$AP, Danny Brown, and this time they throw Schoolboy Q in the mix with Pretty Flacko. The best conversations come with friends and this is a clear example. Remember ASAP, Boy Q & Danny Brown hit the road together this fall... I don't think anyone's ready for that yet.

There is not much that can be done writing-wise to enhance the hilarity of this Danny Brown Noisey segment, where the Hybrid answers questions from YouTube commenters. It starts with him debating the pros of obese women, includes the most well-constructed argument for responsible drug use since Tim Leary, and ends with him discussing dental plans. As Jay-Z once said about himself: his interviews are hotter. Someone give him a Sex in the City -style advice column.

"Everybody can't be Lil' Wayne," Danny Brown says bluntly, just a couple hours before his set at the Pitchfork Music Festival.  Brown makes this statement in relation to the online music community's incessant demand for content that forces artists young and old to flood the web with new music and videos.  While Danny Brown understands how things work in the Internet age, he's committed to not basing his own creative output on the speed of music blogs. "I get it," he says, his voice growing more excited.  "I'm a rapper and this shit is so 'Internet genre.'  My [...]

1998, I"m in Vegas at the Billboard Awards with my man Papito The Barber from the BX. I used to set up my shit in his barber shop on Valentine and rock for 12 hours a day while he cheffed heads up. Jadakiss, DJ Ekim, Lord Tariq, dude from Natural Resources, and an all star cast of Dominican coke lords were some of his more notable clientele. I was 23 with a bangin hairline and more pussy to deal with than the JP MSPCA. When I would rock at the after hours in Mott Haven, he would [...]

We met Kitty Pryde, the divisive teen rapper, outside the US Passport Office in Soho, where she was picking up last-minute documents with an adorable entourage in tow: her dad, her friend from the "Okay ... read more �

Things are busy for House Shoes right now, the DJ and producer from Detroit who put the city's music and culture on his back close to two decades ago.  House Shoes has quite the resume. He's held residencies at Detroit's best venues for Hip Hop music along the way creating spaces platforms for cats to network, show their skills, and celebrate the music.  He also worked closely with J. Dilla, and has DJ'ed or produced for the likes of Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, Danny Brown, Mayer Hawthrone  and damn near anybody else in Detroit's Hip Hop scene.  We're supposed to [...]

Following the Pitcfork.tv +1 segment featuring El-P , we have yet another rapper being given the spotlight treatment. Danny Brown features in this episode of +1 , and it was filmed at San Miguel Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona.

via ( Noisey ) Noisey  just upped this video of A$AP Rocky  & Danny Brown  talking ish by a pool in Barcelona , and it had me in tears with laughter. Listening to Rocky and Danny discuss twitter groupies, pretty toes and music industry benefits is the best part of my day so far. Be wary, while this is hilarious, it's definitely NSFW, so Cubicle Junkies beware. Video: A$AP Rocky & Danny Brown on Sex, Drugs & The Music Industry |

So welcome to the sixth installment of my bi-monthly series on GITNB. It’s my way of saying thanks to those folks that have been cool to me, and a chance to give back to the community that I love so much. This was also an opportunity for me to give you, the reader, some insight into the blogs that have influenced me. Consider it my own personal take on #FF (Follow Fridays). The series will consist of a five question interview with a different blogger/writer each time, along with a few word associations and of course, a list of what [...]
