I thought this was interesting.. not sure I'm a huge fan of the actual music.. but this guy is going hard at Tyler & (Yukonn's favorite MC of the year) Hopsin. After listening to Tyler's "Bastard" album, Poetic shouted out OFWGKTA In His "Pokerface" video. He was expecting Tyler's movement to carry the torch for the upcoming generation, but it wasn't until Tyler released "Goblin" some months down the line that Poetic realized OFWGKTA couldn't be the face of this generation. In regards to Hopsin, Poetic claims dude just tries to hard and needs to focus [...]

Every few years, after climbing out from underneath whatever rock he's currently under, Canibus makes a brief appearance above ground to with some ham-fisted, tragi-comic attempt at returning to relevancy at the expense of people who, you know, actually still have careers. As has been documented on this very site, I had my own bizarre run-in with Canibus while working as a reporter for the Boston Herald. But despite his previous beefs with LL Cool J, Eminem and myself, this latest stunt is truly the most puzzling and pathetic of [...]

I guess Ludacris has beef with Big Sean + Drake? I don't really follow teen blog rap like I used to, but I love when big name rap celebs go at each other. I've always liked and respected Luda, and I can't stand Drake or Big Sean - so this caught my eye. Also, I was going to comment on this, maybe drop some critique but .. you know.. I was like 10 minutes late on this and someone beat me to it: ^ Chick obviously went to the Yukonn MC school [...]

I had a long sit-down with Click Animosity on Saturday. More on that coming soon, but I will say that these dudes are none too happy 'bout the proliferation of frat rap. They Gusto, Charlie Murphy-style. Sam Adams is Gusto, Chris Rock-style. Dudes never thought that when they got out of prison, the kids they used to sell drugs to would have taken over the rap scene. The Click Animosity solution: more underground bangers [...]

remember these guys? you used to poast about them every single day back in May. what had happened? they not cool anymore? u on to the nexxt fad? weak ass trend following fgt.

we really need to squash this white on white violence. i thought they deaded this a long time ago ?? what the hell happened? I guess this all stems from the Harper's Ferry shit last year??? But the old Bomshot vs. Slaine apology video has been removed from YouTube (just like Virtuoso's atrociously awful and historic vampire video ..) It will be interesting to see how this plays out .. Does anyone know why Bomshot brought this beef back??!

Common's not an MC who subsides on beef. In fact he sports the opposite stereotype, and is more likely to trade noodle recipes with Mos Def than shots and insults with the boorish likes of Jim Jones. Common had a skirmish way back with Ice Cube – resulting in the legendary Pete Rock-produced dis track "The Bitch In Yoo" – which is hilarious in retrospect since he's since become what he accused Cube of being. But for the most part it's been a vegetarian career for Chicago's exalted prince of consciousness. Until now. Since [...]

Unlike the veiled B.o.B. bullshit from a few weeks back .. 2MEX does not hide his hate for the young black teenage superstars known as OFWGKTA. Not sure why he's going at them unprovoked. Haters gon hate I guess... I like 2Mex, but I am confused. I hear the lyrics, but isn't everyone in rap just copying / improving on something else that has been done before? Why them? Also here is one of the rare video interviews I did in my career with UGHH.. It's with 2Mex. I had no preparation for this at all.. I [...]

Instead of fixing his error. I choose shaming him. Black + Rick? You srs? "K" is two keys away from "H". Who you thinking about Martin? What's on your mind? #losing #blogbully

It's ridiculous that anyone would read the New York Times for music coverage. Still the sad truth is that staff critic Jon Caramanica wields serious influence over the commercial hip-hop landscape, his master narratives weaving mittens for inept writers everywhere to handle trend rappers. So with another Grammy gala toasting mediocrity upon us, I thought it was a fitting time to eviscerate his write-up of last week's Stretch and Bob reunion show . In this latest attempt to canonize the trite likes of Lil Wayne, here Caramanica further proves that, along with MTV's Sway and [...]

XL feat. DJ Dutchmaster - Scam Adams by CoalmineRecords

From "6173 on this post. This has all become such NONSENSE. The ONLY thing ppl should be complaining about (and i get THIS argument) is the title of his album, though technically he REALLY IS Boston's Boy (historically speaking, NOT hip hop wise, learn the difference) considering his family has lived in boston for centuries and all his ancestors are seen as quintessential boston revolutionaries etc. He has more roots in boston than most of Southie combined. haha Again NOT hip hop roots, but frankly i didn't even assume he [...]

A few months ago, in reporting on the strange life and death of hip-hop deity Guru , I was fortunate to get an incredibly candid interview with Brownman , the acclaimed Canadian trumpeter who toured with Jazzmatazz toward the end of Guru's life and career. Today, with permission from me and Brownman, FuckSolar.com posted the entire interview that fueled the latter part of my Phoenix cover story . There's a lot to digest, but it's a must-read for all Gang Starr fans. Some time has passed since the initial [...]

...And because Cymarshall Law is fucking dope, and I've definitely been sleeping on him. Hey Wite - I know this kind of ruins the joke, but I've been loving your comments . Straight cracking up over here... ...Almost as funny as the time I used mayonnaise to penetrate your girl's roast beef.

Every week or so, when I check the comments that for some reason get caught in the WordPress spam filter, there are at least two or three latent defenses of Sam Adams (who, as you'll notice above, has moved on from beefing with lowly local hip-hop blogs). My guess is that his new fans get all worked up when they Google for topless pics and discover our Sam Adams Week posts. Anyway - here goes the King Kong of all craziness, from someone who calls them self Coast 2 Coast Kid. Just arrived this morning. Pretty remarkable stuff... [...]

For all their traditionalist gusto, Mobb Deep's legacy is also tied to their captain's role in propelling rapid-fire mixtape culture forward. By leaking a torrent of posse cuts and singles through publicity predators like DJ Clue, they helped catalyze a major shift in the rap marketplace. By the late '90s, it was no longer enough to be the first cat queued to cop the latest 12-inch. Instead, we pilgrimaged to spots like Harlem Music Hut to hear joints before they even surfaced on college airwaves. Sorry if you thought that Lil Wayne [...]
