Hip Hop Articles and Feature Stories



Lil Wayne Gets 7 Grammy Nominations-Told You He Was the Best See all you haters hated on Lil Wayne talking about what a bad rapper he is and blah blah blah.. And I'll be honest he just might be in your very small circle of friends... But the rest of the world thinks he's great.. It's time for folks to get off the hate.. Lil Wayne is da man-So please recognize, the world does not revolve around your narrow definitions..It's not just about lyrics just like his dopeness is not simply defined by a grammy...



What's So Big About Biggie Smallz?-Notoriously Overrrated If you ask any Hip Hop fan who are the greatest rappers of all time, dead or alive, he will, most likely, put Christopher "Notorious BIG" Wallace in the top five. Any omission of "Biggie Smalls" is considered Hip Hop blasphemy. Even highly educated college professors have made a career out of quoting Wallace's lyrics like "The 10 Crack Commandments" as if they were part of some sacred text.....


Segregation within Hip Hop The Latin Hip Hop advocate Hector 'Heist Alvarez boldly tackles a sensitive topic when he breaks down the type of industry fueled discrimination taking place within amongst Latinos involved with Hip Hop. He breaks down the type coastal and interracial bias that exists within genres like reggeaton. This article is not for the faint of heart. It will get you thinking and talking. .



Murs=Next: Don't Sleep on this Man Making Underground Real Shit. Lemme tell ya I got an immediate soft spot for acronyms, since I have my own media company called DOME (aka urban slang meaning "brain") and also an acronym meaning Domain Of Music Evolution. So, I'm feeling MURS on his use of dimensional language. And the most exciting part is, this is not the only thing about him that's completely next level....
