Thursday, September 24th, 2009Eve Says Ruff Ryder Reunion ‘Could' Happen
Thursday, September 24th, 2009“Those are my dogs and will forever be my dogs.”
Before the Roc had everybody throwing their diamonds in the air and before the Diplomats were holding down the New York scene, the Ruff Ryders were it. A strong army built with DMX, Swizz Beatz, L.O.X., Eve and others, this was a team that dominated in all aspects during the late 90s.
Unexpectedly, the group disbanded as everyone went out to do their own thing and DMX found himself (more...)

Thursday, September 24th, 2009No, this time it's not another track from the urban legend that is Detox. Along with “working” on the upcoming “album” Dre has been busy getting his business right outside of the music.

Nappy Roots Want to Restore Hip-Hop in Public Schools
Thursday, September 24th, 2009For those that embrace music instead of condemning it, you will be aware of magnitude of its impact.

Now, in all honesty, music can't end famine, poverty or create world peace, but if it has the ability (more...)

Keith Murray and Canibus Reveal Undergods
Thursday, September 24th, 2009“Supreme, lyrical beings.”-Keith Murray
Sometimes in life, greatness is acknowledged, but is never truly recognized and respected. In the game of Hip-Hop there have been many formidable rappers that have never been able to fully shine the way they were supposed due to the overall politics and BS that surround the music.
They saying of united we stand, divided we fall comes to mind in instances such as this where artists cannot build themselves individually, but can shake the foundation with someone by their side. Slaughterhouse (more...)
Memphis Bleek Speaks on the Troubles At Def Jam
Thursday, September 24th, 2009Joe Budden once said in a rap that Def Jam wasn't worried about artists unless they were Jay, Kanye or Jeezy and it seems that a lot of validity has been held to that statement. Once known as the premiere label for rap artists, it has now seen more rappers leaving then coming as of late.

Look no further than examples such as Ghostface Killah, Method Man or Redman. The label has changed its overall focus and it seems to be more concerned with (more...)
