Joe Budden apparently wants Eminem to let bygones be bygones. After Em delivered his surprise album Music to Be Murdered By last week, fans immediately began pointing out all the perceived disses. Among the jabs was Shady’s line in “I Will” in which he raps, “Yeah, your group was off the chain, but you were the weakest link.” Some suspected that lyrics […]

6ix9ine‘s girlfriend is still sticking by her man. Shortly after a judge denied 6ix9ine’s request to serve time under home confinement, Jade posted a new photo of the 23-year-old rapper along with some words of support. Jade—real name Rachel Wattley—began by listing all the ways 6ix9ine was allegedly screwed over by members of his inner-circle. She seemingly […]

An old tribute statue of 2Pac became a topic of intense discourse this week thanks to an inaccurately captioned tweet. The statue, which sadly looks almost nothing like the late music icon, was subsequently mocked in tweeted responses. While the caption stated that this was a “new” statue located in Dallas, the tribute piece actually […]

The Celebrity Deathmatch-esque aesthetic vibes are strong in the new video for PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Loyal.” Up top, catch the official video for the previously released Drake collab. The claymation video was directed and animated by William Child and premiered via Adult Swim. As for the story, fans are treated to PND being sent off on a rescue […]

For reasons not entirely clear (and certainly not rational), Honey Boy isn’t in the 2020 class of Oscar nominees. The film is a heartbreakingly vulnerable piece of catharsis art, with Alma Har’el inarguably among the year’s most accomplished directors and Shia LaBeouf‘s script equally inarguably among the year’s strongest writing.  But it’s not about awards. It’s about the […]

J. Cole explained that he decided to focus his attention on addressing social issues in his music after he grew tired of talking about himself following the release of his third studio album 2014 Forest Hills Drive. In a panel for MLK Now, the fifth annual event celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which was hosted by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and featured […]

Hip-Hop Evolution may just be the best running docuseries on the history of rap, featuring candid interviews with the architects, innovators, and icons of the genre. It also happens to be made by a group of Canadians. Rapper/broadcaster Shad, director Darby Wheeler, and writer Rodrigo Bascuñán have had quite a wild few years, snagging a Peabody Award, an International Emmy […]

Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed in Brooklyn.  On Sunday, Casanova and Pop Smoke met for dinner. Casanova made sure his followers saw him breaking bread with his fellow Brooklyn rapper by documenting the event on social media. This comes after the two exchanged bars in their latest singles. Earlier this month, Pop Smoke shared a snippet of a song […]

Blueface applauded 6ix9ine’s ex-bodyguards for making a “smart” decision. During a recent conversation with TMZ, Blueface said that bodyguards are practicing self-preservation by not working with 6ix9ine.  “That’s a smart bodyguard,” Blueface said. “That’s life or death. Fuck all the talent. That’s life or death.” Earlier this week, TMZ reported that 6ix9ine’s former bodyguards are not interested in working […]

Mac Miller would have turned 28 today. On September 7, 2018, Miller died of an accidental drug overdose from counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl. His contributions to music continues to live on through the posthumous album Circles, which was completed with the help of Jon Brion, who worked with Miller on his fifth studio project Swimming. His memory also lives on through the […]
