This topic needs to be addressed now more than ever. The problem is constant, but the recent release of Kendrick Lamar’s album has brought this issue front and center. What I’m talking about is the overusage of the word “classic”. I’ve gone in about this before, whether in full posts or a mention here...
Look, I ain’t advocating violence, but it’s about damn time something happened. It’s been boring as hell recently. I ain’t been writing shit but half-reviews of albums, bringing up shit from damn near 10 years ago just to complain about why an artist today ain’t never really gonna be shit, and I even recently...
Most anticipated album of the year? Yeah probably. Aside from the follow up to Rick Ross’ best effort yet, the G.O.O.D. Music label’s debut compilation album has been much discussed ever since it was initially announced (as are most Kanye projects) and so now that the dust has settled and the album is out...
Damn Wale you just gonna totally steal Meek’s shine? Now it’s one thing to hype ya team while your man is doing an interview but he ain’t say “Maybach Music” once, just whispered sweet nothings about saving hoes to the interview chick while Meek Mill stood there catching feelings.

No one really knew what to think of this new culture sweeping the nation, taking the youth with it and making strong statements over what, at the time, was considered some pretty hardcore...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com As hip hop has expanded over time we’ve gotten many different sub-genres of the music. From the basic differences between east and west, to the growth of the South we’ve seen how regions create rap music in their own unique ways. We’ve had jazz rap, conscious rap, gangsta rap, club...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com Last week saw the first official solo release from one half of the Clipse, Pusha T’s Fear of God mixtape. A collection of 13 tracks with mostly original songs and a couple freestyles thrown into the mix, the reaction has been everything from touting Pusha as a top 5 MC...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com So Curren$y got signed by Warner Records, that’s dope right? Or is it? Seems like a lot of these major label deals end up going nowhere so I’m wondering if it’s even worth celebrating a move like this as it could easily end up with us waiting months and months...
