In the spring of 1995, amidst a bid to snap back from the commercial failure of an album called Juvenile Hell, Mobb Deep’s Prodigy offered unrepentant insight into the desperation of his adolescence. I’m only ... read more

Hot 972s Dj Absolut caught up with Rick Ross and asked him who his favorite current MC's were. At first Ross only named people from his MMG crew (including Gunplay and forgetting Pill). Then Absolut re-phrased the question and Rozay named all the usual people. Wayne, Jay, Ye..etc. After naming his Top 5 MC's Rozay also talks about the beef between Lil Wayne and Jay-Z.

The time has come. Three years in the making—the anticipation is over. He told us he was “Sorry 4 the Wait,” but perhaps Lil Wayne should apologize for more. With the album release date redundantly pushed back, lukewarm singles, and a distasteful appetizer-like mixtape that is almost as blasphemous to hip-hop as some of the artists featured on it (i.e. Lil B), “Tha Carter IV” unfortunately fails to live up to all the hype that it spent in the making. Yet, it is not so much the lyricism or production of the album that is to blame but the fact that Lil Wayne himself is not [...]

Tha Carter brand name has evolved into one of the most bulletproof in rap. Three-plus years, two forgettable albums and one eight-month prison sentence after the release of Tha Carter III , anticipation surrounding Lil’ Wayne’s fourth installation in the series rivals that of any other release in 2011. Tha Carter put Wayne on the map. C2 made him a superstar. And C3 solidified his place as “the best rapper alive” when it dropped. Does C4 see Weezy return to his 2008 Marshawn Lynch-type “beast mode” production? The [...]

Just as we did last week , here's a playlist we made over at RDIO that takes you through the biggest stories on Prefix in the last seven days in musical form. Go here to check out this week's playlist or stream it below. Here's a rundown: We start this week's playlist considering the final Pavement album, Terror Twilight, as our Matt Fiander did in his (really great) n ew column Quarantining the Past , a feature detailing albums from the 1990s.

You may remember a few weeks back when we brought you an exclusive remix to "Save The World" from a Swedish duo called Cazzette , and the youngsters are already back for more. This time they're out to please the true electro fans, with a hard-hitting rework to the Kanye West, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Bon Iver, and Nikki Minaj joint, "Monster." This one caught us a little off guard at first - don't get us wrong, it definitely goes hard in the paint - but we were kinda digging the toned down electro-ness of that amazing "Sweet [...]

Since Im on the topic of Kanye, let me throw this up as good faith. A chopped up version of this video leaked way back when but now we have an official final version. This isnt too far off from the leaked version but its a lot more clear and obviously well edited.
An unfinished version of this leaked a few weeks ago. We finally have the final version and holy shit was it worth the wait. Epic visuals from Mr. West. This one will go down in the history books.

It took a while but Kanye's freak show , video for "Monster" is finally available to watch in good quality.. iTunes | Amazon
The rough cut of this video leaked back in December . Months later, Kanye finally released the official version via his website . Sadly, this one still doesn't feature Justin Vernon holding any decapitated body parts.

Celui-ci, autant dire que personnellement je l'attendais bien comme il faut. Souvenez vous il y a environ six mois, une première version carrément pas terminée avait vu le jour sur la toile le temps de quelques jours avant que tout disparaisse. Un coup de buzz ? Une erreur ? Quoi qu'il en soit en ce lundi 6 juin voici le clip d'un des morceaux les plus puissants de My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy en featuring avec Rick Ross, Jay-Z , Bon Iver et Nicki Minaj . Comme vous avez pu [...]
When the "Monster" video—full of headless, waxy, dead-eyed and too-thin models—leaked last December, it was met with a collective grimace and small backlash. Now it's short YouTube life has been resuscitated, with the protection of ... read more

Soooo...over the weekend this video finally was released via KanyeWest.com. You may remember this video leaking back in December of 2010, a crappy version in terms of audio, but it also looks like there are some video elements that were added to this piece, wasn't there? I don't remember certain things in this version that [...]
