As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com For starters, I wasn’t planning on writing a reaction piece to the BET awards mostly because the whole experience of watching the awards was so tiring in and of itself, but also because I have never been so conflicted with regard to an award show.

As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com While suspect mafuckas are finally able to spend their parents’ money on Thank Me Later, the faucet is still dripping as 3 more “bonus” tracks have been released that will apparently be found on an upcoming mixtape (which you’re releasing right after your album? that bad huh?). I’m starting to...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com After a week of nonstop hatred in hip hop, from everyone’s Thank Me Later reviews, most of which are from part of the machine selling the hype while the accurate ones called it the trash it is, to a Detox track that is most accurately described here, and then the...

As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com For a channel that spends most of its time in a battle with Debra Lee for “network most guilty of exploiting black women” and can’t even tell you what “VH1” actually stands for anymore, Video Hits 1 (yup, that’s it) have gotten one thing right more often than not and...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com Dear Backpackers, I write this letter as a former member of your intelligent-yet-elitist crew. I too once rocked a Del The Funky Homosapien t-shirt with Urban Outfitters cargo pants and spewed hatred toward anything and everything that traveled through the waves of a radio station while correcting anyone who dared...
