After hearing "Stupid Hoe" I'm pretty convinced that Nicki Minaj's fan base is under the age of 15 and also enjoy Silly Bandz bracelets and monthly Pizza Day in the cafeteria. There's just no way a grown person can enjoy a song like "Stupid Hoe" or the equally awful "Roman In Moscow." There's absolutely no way. Listen and download...
After Danielle so deservedly tore apart Gucci Mane and V-Nasty I was planning on letting the RefinedHate go and just focusing on some positively dope hip-hop, but then Nicki Minaj's new single "Roman in Moscow" dropped and...this....this shit right here? This shit makes me want to kick a baby. Listen and download...
Because these things always turn into a "why you hating!?" flame war I'll begin with a disclaimer. Like Wale or Kid Ink before him, this isn't really about the specific artist. I genuinely like K. Michelle and support her music. Unfortunately though, knowingly or unknowingly, she's the latest example of form of fuckery that just can't be ignored. See more...
Anytime Soulja Boy refers to himself as a "Young Hova" within 30 seconds of a song he's pretty much setting himself up for an absolute slander fest. I'm still trying to figure out what's worse Soulja Boy's "rapping" or this kid Jbar and his awful "Huh...huh...SWAG" ad-libs. If you have to say "huh" over 150 times on a song then it's suffice to say that you may want to look into buying either a hearing aid or a dictionary. Listen and download...
Why Swizz Beatz insists on rapping I'll never know. It's like one of the great mysteries of Hip-Hop. Over the weekend, without considering the harm it may do to our hearing, Swizz Beatz released the song "Bonkers." Consider this a warning,"Bonkers" is strictly three minutes and 27 seconds of Swizz Beatz rapping. No guest appearances, nothing. Listen and vote...
Note to Tony Yayo, if you have the nerve to call a song "Dead Rappers" can you at least make sure it's a banging song before you choose to name it that. The people of America thank you. I didn't necessarily expect greatness from this song, but the Styles P appearance is what drew me in and even his verse couldn't save this from being just a really boring song. Listen and download...
Disclaimer: If you think DMX's "Sucka 4 Love" is going to be anything like his highly successful, love-is-kinda-cool song "How's It Going Down" then my friend you're in for a world of disappointment. "Sucka 4 Love" is pretty awful especially when it comes to content. Here's a prime example of that, taken straight from the song. Listen and download...
Has anyone ever considered the fact that Lil B might just be pulling a "Joaquin Phoenix" on us? Meaning he's really some acting school student who thought it'd be a great idea to pretend to be a horrible rapper and see how far he got in the world of Hip-Hop. And if that is the case we're all looking incredibly dumb right now. Listen and download...
