By looking at the current poll, it looks like everyone has a different favorite Jay-Z album. Well, I’m not closing the poll until we have a clear winner!
With all the excitement over American Gangster being released in only a little over a month, I figured I’d Dig In The Crates and put up some […]

Artist Spotlight is a new feature here on the blog. It’s kind of along the same lines as the Producer’s Spotlights, but this time we go straight to star of the song. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a ‘Greatest Hits‘ or ‘Best of‘ package, as we will try to focus on featured guest […]

Lots of new releases today; there’s a little something for everyone: Hip Hop releases from will.i.am and Gorilla Zoe; R&B releases from Keyshia Cole, Jill Scott, Jagged Edge, Rahsaan Patterson and Chaka Khan; Jazz releases from Queen Latifah and Herbie Hancok; and a Rock release from the legendary Foo Fighters.
This is always the best time […]

I am not necessarily a Black Eyed Peas fan, nor am I much more a fan of Fergie’s solo work; however, there’s no denying that the man behind their songs, will.i.am, is talented. I didn’t really take notice to will.i.am as a producer until last summer when I heard Busta Rhymes‘ “I Love My […]

I just heard some great news, as a Jay-Z fan. Jigga is planning on releasing his next album on November 6! The title of this new album will be American Gangster.
American Gangster is a “concept album“, and, in an interview with The New York Times, Jay-Z revealed that the album is inspired by […]

Jared Leto’s rock band, 30 Seconds To Mars, recently performed a live cover version of Kanye West’s “Stronger” on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
I was skeptical at first, but this version of “Stronger” is so amazing, I just had to post it here. The song is much slower than the original and has sort of […]

Man, it’s been a crazy week! We should find out soon who the winner in the Kanye vs. 50 Cent battle is. Early numbers put Kanye West on top. Honestly, I think Kanye has the better album. I was planning on reviewing Curtis, but I actually couldn’t get through a complete […]

Hunting down the samples for Kanye West’s latest album, Graduation, hasn’t been too extremely difficult. This is because Kanye chose to sample quit a few well known records by artists such as Elton John, Michael Jackson, and Steely Dan. There are a few samples that I have not been able to get a […]

The anticipation is over! Kanye West’s long awaited follow up to 2005’s Late Registration was released yesterday. Aside from his production credits, Graduation is Kanye’s third album release as a solo rapper.
As a perfectionist, Kanye West pulled out all the stops to make sure this album release could be as perfect as possible. […]

I’ve been away on a much needed vacation, but I’m back just in time for one of the hottest days in hip hop release history! Today is being declared the “Clash of the Titans”, as 50 Cent and Kanye West square off with the release of Curtis and Graduation, respectively. This day is […]
