The Hype Men Present: Kanye West’s First Beats (Disc 1)

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/23/11 | Filed under Mixtapes, Hypemen, Kanye West, Best Of, Best of 2011

Last week I was stumbling through my garage, searching through old storage bins, when I came across some old beat CDs from my days as a signed Interscope rapper. I was shocked to find that two of them, both given to me in 2001, had the name Kanye West on them. These two beat CDs, now celebrating their 10 year anniversary and I believe the oldest Kanye beats ever released, are here for your enjoyment. See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/23/11 | Filed under Features, MBOW, Best Of, Best of 2011, Rosa Acosta

I was just going to skip this week's Mystery Booty, but a flood of angry emails from booty deprived RefinedHype citizens demanded otherwise. So I'm using lemons to make lemonade; expect instead of lemons I'm talking about Rosa Acosta, and instead of lemonade I'm talking about pics of Rosa Acosta's booty.

We're both hip-hop nerds. We were both fascinated by that Big Pun "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It (Remix)". We're brothers in hype. It was only natural that RefinedHype linked up with The Hypemen (a.k.a. the good folks behind ItsTheReal.com and Jensen Karp) to become the official download source for their podcast series. We now present to you episode forty featuring Bun B. Listen & download...

Kanye West Shares His Surprising Favorite Verse Of All Time - What’s Yours?

Posted by Danielle Harling on 10/31/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Kanye West, Best Of, Watch the Throne

During the Watch The Throne tour's first stop in Atlanta, Kanye West revealed what he referred to as his "favorite verse in my whole career" and you might be surprised to hear that it's his verse on the "Watch The Throne" track "New Day." It's a cool verse and all, but he's released so much classic material prior to that. See more...

The Great Debate: Will J. Cole Become a Mainstream Star? Not Likely

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/08/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, J. Cole, Best Of, The Great Debate

Will J. Cole become a star? It’s a simple question, and the simple answer is no. But like all questions truly worth answering there’s a lot more to the query than meets the eye. Of course, before we get into the possible come up of Jermaine Lamarr Cole, there’s one essential question we need to answer first; what makes someone a star? See more...

Is Mikkey Halsted Really the Best Baller in the Entertainment Industry?

Posted by Nathan S. on 07/28/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, Best Of, Mikkey Halsted, Twitter

I was perusing the interwebs late last night when I cam across the tweet above from Chicago emcee Mikkey Halsted. If you don't think that's the kind of statement I'm going to take way too seriously and break down in-depth, you're obviously not a citizen of RefinedHype Nation. See more...

This Is My Rifle: Jay-Z, Drake & the Art of Selling Out

Posted by Jason James on 07/20/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, This Is My Rifle, Best Of

Yes, over the past few years a handful of people have actually had the balls to walk over and say that to me. I know that in their mind they’re trying to convey their appreciation for my music while drawing the comparison to say, “what the fuck is wrong with the world?” but I can’t help but be offended every time it happens.

Should We Have Posted J. Cole’s “Lost Ones”?

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/13/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Features, J. Cole, Best Of

This isn't a topic I'd normally be willing to have on the interwebs, considering the typical level of online conversation ranges somewhere between angry coked up trucker and middle school drop out, but minus the occasional overzealous Wiz Khalifa or "Lasers" stan RefinedHype Nation has thankfully proven to be an intelligent place. So....should we have posted J. Cole's "Lost Ones"? See more...
