Hip-Hop Wired Video Exclusives

Hip-Hop Wired returns with part two of our Games Rappers Play series. While speaking with Juvenile, yours truly discussed the elephant in the room: the beef between Lil Wayne and Birdman.

Hip-Hop Wired returns with the latest installment of our Games Rappers Play series, this time featuring Juvenile.

Hip-Hop Wired returns with part two of our discussion with educators and rap enthusiasts Bun B and Dr. Anthony Pinn.

  We at Hip-Hop Wired believed “enhancing your fly” is essential. For our first episode of Fresh Selects, a series where we curate and review the latest and crispiest products when it comes to sneakers, electronics and fashion. 

Since 2011, rap music’s favorite Trill OG, Bun B, at the request of the course’s originator, tenured professor Dr. Anthony Pinn, has co-taught a course on Hip-Hop and religion at Houston’s Rice University.

  VH1’s reality show Black Ink Crew makes for an entertaining show thanks to its motley crew of characters. We asked Puma to explain what’s good with his often missing tooth, Sky to reveal how she managed to duck cops for seven years while Quani and Sassy offered their two cents on gentrification. 

Funkmaster Flex played an integral role in The Diplomats reunion and upcoming tour. But his efforts to reunite Hip-Hop groups we all know and love don’t end there.

Bobby Shmurda is in good spirits even though his prison stay has worn out its welcome like two months ago. To think, is rise to prominence began with a raw street record that had his name in everybody’s mouths. Before he had a chance to improve on his one-hit wonder status, his freedom was snatched […]

Funkmaster Flex has never been one to hold his tongue, especially when he’s speaking on his deejaying abilities. Hip-Hop Wired sat down with the famed DJ just days ahead of Hot 97’s epic “Tip-Off” concert.
