Don’t sleep on Jay Rock. He isn’t be the most critically acclaimed or animated member of the talent-laden group that is Top Dawg Entertainment, but he’s a quality MC; his raw, West Coast energy can be heard on “Parental Advisory.”
The good folks from Montreality caught up with Ab-Soul, who touched Canadian soil twice on his current These Days… tour. During the interview, the Black Lipped Pastor discussed his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s “i” single, the last time he cut his hair, who won the Jay Z/Nas beef, and more.
After a brief hiatus, Jimmy Kimmel Live! revisits their “Words From Your Mother” segments, during which an artist’s mother is asked to recite their son’s lyrics. In this installment, ScHoolboy Q’s mom recites his bars from “Collard Greens.”

Less than a week after preaching self-love on “i,” a snippet of a new Kendrick Lamar record titled “I’m Da Man” has landed on the Internets.

Our younger readers will recall the days when fighting the urge to recreate Clipse’s “Grindin'” beat on each and every locker, lunchroom, etc. was a daily task. LA Leaker’s capture that vibe with Kendrick Lamar on the verse via the #LiftOff “Lunch Table” Freestyle.
After a week’s notice, Kendrick Lamar made due on his promise to release his highly anticipated single, “i,” which arrived in the wee hours of the morning today (September 23). The track has been out for less that six hours, during which it’s been the center of debate–is it good or not?
