Drake is most definitely at the top with a dozen nominations at the 2013 BET Awards. Despite not releasing a new album since November 2011, he's had a busy year with guest spots, videos and a couple singles from his forthcoming album. Oh, and that Aaliyah album if it ever happens. The Canadian rapper is up for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist, Video of the Year ( "Started From the Bottom" and "HYFR") and Viewers Choice, among others. Nobody else snagged nearly as many nods as Drizzy; 2 Chainz [...]
Drake - Getty Drake is the leader of the pack of nominations for the 2013 BET Awards. Drizzy earned a whopping 12 nominations for his solo work and gaggle of collaborations. He'll vie for awards in major categories like Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Best Collaboration, and Video Of The Year. Not far behind Drizzy with 8 nominations each are 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar . Lamar, who has had an outstanding year so far behind the release of his major label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city, [...]
Lil Wayne 's I Am Not a Human Being II has a tracklist, and it is major. With 15 songs and almost as many guest spots, Weezy is returning in a big way with his official follow-up to 20112s Tha Carter IV . 2 Chainz joins for two songs, and Weezy's YMCMB cohorts Drake and Nicki Minaj also appear on the album, as well as Juicy J , Big Sean and Gunplay . And while Lil Wayne said Kanye West had [...]
"F***in' Problems," the all-star A$AP Rocky track featuring verses from 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar and the unexpectedly scene-stealing Drake, has been my go-to struggle music since last December. It's a flawlessly aggressive little nugget, guaranteed to pound out lingering hangovers or seasonal blues. But when my repeat listens led me to start hearing "Behind These Hazel Eyes" in A$AP's bassline, it became a real f***in' problem - that is, until Chicago DJ Willy Joy dropped this 100 Boners Per Minute (his words; great words) remix on one of his Free Willy Wednesdays. He straps the track [...]
A$AP Rocky's LongLiveA$AP BY JORDAN MAINZER The only thing bigger than his ego is his mirror. No longer brand new, A$AP Rocky’s long-awaited debut studio album LongLiveA$AP has finally overcome the hip-hop album’s delayed-release curse. And even if it hasn’t dropped with a defining bang like, say, 2012 favorite Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City , most of the album’s songs serve as a reminder of what Rocky does well: spit about his own swagger over cool beats by Clams Casino [...]

A$AP Rocky is not perfect but he's constantly pushing himself. When his debut mix-tape LiveLoveA$AP dropped in 2011, it was easy to write off Rocky as a one-dimensional lyricist who used a basic formula encapsulated by drunken and drugged-up swag rap, over lush, experimental production credited largely to Clams Casino . Though he mildly pushed the boundaries of his genre, the mix-tape proved unforgettable due to Rocky 's sub-par lyrical and rapping ability. After a six month delay, A$AP Rocky returns with a [...]
El próximo 15 de enero será el lanzamiento de Long.Live.A$AP , el disco debut del hip hopero A$AP Rocky . Esta placa promete ser uno de los mejores lanzamientos dentro del género, ya que cuenta con colaboraciones de alto calibre a cargo de Santigold , Kendrick Lamar , Drake , 2 Chainz , Florence Welch y muchos más; además de contar con un impresionante desfile de productores -cerca de veinte- como Danger Mouse , Clams Casino , Birdy Nam Nam y Skrillex , [...]
Day 4 of our 4-day countdown of the best of the year. Part 1 (80-61) can be found here . Part 2 (60-41) can be found here . Part 3 (40-21) can be found here . To recap: AlbatRoss and I had 2 guidelines that we stuck to in compiling this list: 1) it had to be rap (meaning no R&B - Frank Ocean and Miguel had killer years but they won't be found on this list) and 2) one song per project on the list. We did this (including honorable mentions, of course) to make sure we brought a [...]

I cant get enough of this track. Add sexy gyrating women to the video and I cant get enough of the visuals. Dont you just love how that works. LongLiveA$AP touches down January 15.
La scène hip-hop/rap américaine se sert les coudes et lorsqu'un nouveau titre sort il est souvent le fruit d'une collaboration, le dernier morceau de A$AP Rocky en est la preuve. En effet, l'artiste nous dévoile le clip de son Fuckin' Problems dans lequel on retrouve ses amis et collaborateurs Drake , 2 Chainz et Kendrick Lamar .
Think you have it bad? Try being a young, successful rapper these days. In his new video for “F**kin’ Problems,” A$AP Rocky and some of his most famous peers ( 2 Chainz , Drake and current hip-hop it-boy Kendrick Lamar ) discuss the pains of being rich, famous and irresistible to women. The rap superstars keep the video simple, featuring themselves and a few females in front of a plain backdrop. These cocky dudes come across as more fun than obnoxious, and all four deliver pretty solid verses. So next time you’re worrying about paying [...]
Did You Hear? :: Famed producer and Major Lazer mastermind Diplo on Tuesday (December 4) tweeted : "no lie i just finished something with @ psy_oppa and @ 2chainz the mayan calendar predicted this." So, PSY + 2 Chainz + Diplo. That happened. [ Pitchfork ] :: Palate cleanser! Beyonce in a skin-tight dress standing next to a vintage candy machine. [...]
The G.O.O.D. Music crew had a huge year with the release of Cruel Summer . This record top to bottom has some of the best production in hip hop along with some of hip hops biggest names. "Mercy" is the standout track in my opinion, especially the verses from Pusha T and 2 Chainz . Pusha T has emerged as the stand out lyricist of the entire crew, combining clever quips with street credibility. Kanye West - Mercy (feat. Big Sean, Pusha T, & 2 Chainz) [from Cruel Summer ] [...]
