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...
Unless you have a sense of morality (in which case you’re a Frank Ocean…or the opposite…shit I’m already rambling) you’ve had a chance to check out the Slaughterhouse album which dropped on Wednesday. If you haven’t checked out the hour and 20 minutes of the group’s sophomore effort then I highly suggest not wasting...
As I alluded to in last week’s post, I want to revisit something that happened almost 10 years ago to perhaps examine why a certain artist’s career panned out the way it did. I recently wrote about Slaughterhouse and how each of the member’s individual careers took a swan dive before it ever really...
Full disclosure first, I’m a huge Slaughterhouse fan. Not just that, I’m a huge fan of 3 out of the 4 artists in Slaughterhouse (Joell’s boring to me). So I write this as someone who loves their music not just as a group but as individual artists and would love to see them finally...
Recently an article penned by RepPittsburghHipHop writer Rami Bensasi discussed the underwhelming album from two of rap’s greatest artists ever, Watch the Throne. While I respect the effort and opinions laid forth in the article, I couldn’t help but disagree with just about all of it. Rami is an incredible writer and I see...
The standard in hip hop from day one has always been to prove yourself and then get signed. From there the sky’s the limit. But back in the day no one knew how this music shit really worked and hip hop was so new that the only option to get it to really spread...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com Always one for controversy, Canibus is out of his hip hop cave yet again and he mad as hell yet again, for reasons that no one really understands, yet again. This time the target is Slaughterhouse, specifically Royce Da 5’9” and Joe Budden. After a couple months of bubbling on...
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...
As seen on RepPGHHipHop.com The latest (and hopefully final) news in the Jay-Z/MC Hammer saga is that Jay-Z actually addressed the matter (not lyrically of course) by laughing off Hammer’s diss track/video and as a result of that, Hammer backed d….nevermind, he said he “already won”. Really?!? It seems like sometimes rappers lose battles...
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...
