Rick Ross lost a lucrative deal with Reebok after some questionable lyrics that signaled rape culture and drugging last summer. You would think that he’d learn his lesson. It appears that the Maybach Music rapper is in hot water once again for lyrics appearing on his 6th album “Mastermind.” 

Rick Ross needs to clearly and definitively apologize for describing a scenario in which he rapes a women in the song “U.O.E.N.O. (You Ain’T Even Know It)“. His half hearted attempt to deflect the legitimate criticism of the song at a New Orleans radio station, while being cheered on by the DJ, actually made the situation worse. […]

A few weeks ago I threatened to record an album of me performing Christmas carols as spoken word pieces. It seemed like a genius idea at the time until: 1. While trying it in the privacy of my own home I realized that although initially funny, it gets annoying really quickly, and 2. DMX performed […]

Multiple incidences of violence erupted at the BET Hip Hop Awards taping  in Atlanta this weekend. According to reports, Rick Ross’ Maybach Music camp were quite busy, getting involved in separate scuffles with individuals affiliated with Young Jeezy and 50 Cent’s G-Unit crew respectively. BET has released a statement, denouncing the violence, and maintaining that […]

  If I must have something that I don’t like about having locks, it would be that I can’t rock a snapback. Had there not been so much of a conversion in the herds of Black youth—fitted caps are nearly extinct among the heads of the coolest kids—my lament over snap backs would not even […]

Rick Ross may have a questionable past (Hip Hop is the only profession in the world where being a C.O. is scandal-worthy previous employment), questionable taste in babymommas (a fact of which 50 Cent was more than happy to exploit last year), and even questionable rights to his stage name (The real Ricky Ross is not happy with our man Ricky Rozay), but there’s still no denying Teflon Don. This is a fantastic album.

  First of all, I love when an artist spits conscious lyrics, which Kanye certainly does on his new song, “New Slaves”. I especially like when he references CCA and how they’re really making new slaves:   “Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), now the nation’s largest private prison company, was founded just over 30 years ago in Nashville. Since […]

When the Occupy Wall Street Movement kicked off September 17th, 2011, many thought it would be short lived and a waste of time. For awhile, the objectives, goals and demands of the protesters were unclear and many thought this this demonstration would pass over just like the other dozens of rallies happening across the United […]

So take some notes and get your shit together, T.I. Every emcee in the game aspires to Jay-Z’s success. They study the way he rhymes and they study the way he does business, but no one studies the way he lives. Success and chronic criminality do not mix. Don’t believe me? Just ask DMX. Listen to It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot the next time you want to throw a middle finger to the law.
