Last year, the controversial motor-mouthed rapper Eminem made his return with Revival, an album that didn’t make the impact his previous releases have in the past. Personally, I thought it was really good, just a departure from the fiery, battle rap emcee I have followed since The Slim Shady LP. Well, this past week, Eminem shocked the world with a […]
By Jason T. Smith “To the father, son and Holy Spirit, I hold you dearest..” The tongue twisting Yelawolf rides a sinister beat in “Best Friend”, a song that sounds like it would be more of a soft song than what we are used to from the Slaughterhouse collaborator. What we get is some extremely dark lyrics and imagery when […]
The name of this one is judgement day… The M-E-T-H-O-D MAN is definitley one of the best to grasp the mic, and his Tical 2000 was no exception. The lead single was a grim ode to what many thought would happen when the clock struck midnight in the year 2000: judgement day. The Wu-Tang Clan veteran raps in and out […]
“Swore I was goin’ to be someone… And growing up everyone always does…” Everyone knows who Macklemore is these days: his Thrift Shop is the number one song on iTunes at the moment, it’s blowing up the airwaves, and the video is hilarious. So, get ready for the total opposite of Thrift Shop: Otherside. A brooding, deep look into the […]

Now I’m homeless and I’m freezing like the morgue… Only thing keeping me alive is the Lord… The 1996 classic from the bay area heavyweight E-40 is one of the realest songs I ever heard. I mean of ALL music, not just rap. If you relate to this song, then you know exactly what I mean by real. Rap these […]
Me and Death is playing chess ever since then… My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends… The Last Emperor was once a protege to the mad doctor himself, Dr. Dre. But he eventually parted ways with Aftermath and started to make music on his own. “One Life” is off of his Music, Magic and Myth album. […]
Maybe hell ain’t a place meant for us to burn… Maybe Earth is telling just a place for us to learn… Mississippi born rapper David Banner is the personification of southern rap. His energy, his emotion, his hypnotic hooks, it is no wonder Banner became a hit in the rap game. “Cadillac on 22’s” is a perfect example, as it […]
, M “Memories don’t live like people do…they always remember you…” The song is a classic in the halls of hip hop. Hitting the streets in 1998, the song was the second single off of DJ Honda’s h II.
