Thanks to a roster that boasts the likes of Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q, as well as up and comers like SZA and Isaiah Rashad, Top Dawg Enertainment is one of the most important labels in Hip-Hop. Aligned with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath/Interscope, TDE’s President, Punch, recently offered insight into the crew’s moves, including comparing albums […]
Aside from all the partying and bullsh*tting, drug running, gun busting, twerking and molly popping, rap can be an emotional genre with substance, at times. And we ain’t talking about that emo, “My girl dumped me…I’m trying to find myself after becoming famous” cornball ish either.
“Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way,” has been a recognizable mantra since The Notorious B.I.G. dropped “Juicy” August of 1994. After representing the borough to the umpteenth degree during his tenure in rap, a fan is petitioning for a King’s County street to be renamed after the late, great MC.
Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace was a bonafide superstar, prolific lyricist, and trendsetter, among other things when he was taken away from the world on March 9, 1997.

March 9 of each year Hip-Hop laments the loss of one of its most prolific MCs in Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace. And while tomorrow marks the 16th anniversary of the Brooklyn native’s death, we here at Hip- HopWired recall one of his greatest strengths and a large reason why he remains one of the game’s […]
Hip-Hop has been used to sell products for years, so of course a tune by the Notorious B.I.G. would be used as the musical background for a commercial. A version of the late rapper’s smash hit “Big Poppa” is being used by Taco Bell to promote its Cantina Steak Burrito.
Lord Finesse reps DITC (that’s Diggin In The Crates) and is vicious on the mic and the beats. If his name is foreign to you, you really need to do your research. That said, FUSE’s excellent Crate Diggers series talked to the Bronx native about his records, and thus his career, and he proceeded to […]
