After years of brewing beneath the surface, mutli-talented ATLien B.o.B. has finally broken through to the mainstream thanks to his super catchy new single “Nothin on You”, a hit that he’s not followed with an entertaining, visually interesting new video that…well…let’s just say paper cuts during sex will be a major concern.

Thirteen years ago today the greatest rapper of all-time, the Notorious B.I.G., was shot and killed. With that in mind I thought it was only appropriate to drop a Block of Biggie saluting the hip-hop genius that was Christopher Wallace. Starting off the festivities we have J. Period (co-creator of Nneka’s “The Madness” mixtape) and hip-hop video pioneer “Uncle” Ralph McDaniels, who are releasing the fist of their “March 9th” video remix series with “Flava in Ya Ear”, a club-shattering blend of the old and new that begs the question: where would hip hop be if B.I.G. were still alive!?

Reflection Eternal, a.k.a. Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek, are back after a nearly decade-long hiatus, and they’re bringing some dope new music with them. Following the release of the album’s lead single “In This World” comes the visual accompaniment, a dark-yet-light affair that’s everything you’d expect from the dynamic duo. Plust Kweli pimps the hell out of his Jay-Z endorsement, so he’s got that going for him. See more…

Before he headed off the slammer (or was supposed to) Lil Wayne engaged in a flurry of activity, reportedly having eight dental surgeries, shooting ten videos and, of course, drinking enough syrup to kill a blue whale. Today we’re focused on the second item on that prestigious list, as Weezy F unleashes some apocalyptic visuals for his smash with Eminem, “Drop the World”. Enjoy. See more…

Streets Buchanon only truly came onto my radar recently, but from what I’ve heard of his recent “Frequent Flyer Miles” mixtape, I’m impressed. If you’re just getting to know Buchanon as well, or even if you’re a long time fan, I highly recommend you check the visuals to his new single “Black x White x Grey”, a flick that manages to be infinitely more interesting than its title suggests.

I was driving the other day when KDAY put on Positive K’s classic “refuse to take no for an answer” jam “I Got a Man” came on the radio and, I’m not gonna front, I was able to rhyme along pretty damn well. I don’t know exactly when it happened, but I somehow managed to memorize every word, and I figured most of my fellow 80s babies are in the same boat. Let’s find out…

Much like ODB, living underground rhyme legend (literally and figuratively) The Grouch does if for the babies, and to prove it he’s filmed his latest video, “Whatever I Say”, at a Bay Area elementary school. I guarantee this video will take you back, although my childhood never sounded this dope. See more…

Even though Ludacris’ latest track “Sex Room” is one of the better track’s I’ve heard off his upcoming “Battle of the Sexes” album so far, I couldn’t help but feel like Ludacris could do much, much better. So I decided to dig back through the archives, and sure enough, “Sex Room” isn’t even in the top ten songs Luda’s ever done about fu**king, not even close (and that’s saying something for a man who rhymes about intercourse like Snoop rhymes about marijuana). So which tracks make the cut? Let’s find out…

Although he’s been on a bit of a politics and random other ish kick lately, one of my favorite bloggers Jay Smooth today took a minute to break down one of hip-hop’s most popular myths - that lyrical hip-hop doesn’t sell - using none other than everyone’s favorite flame Wacka Flocka as the springboard for his commentary. In fact, Smooth made such a great point that I’d thought we’d delve into the lyrics vs. cash debate a little further. First, the video…

I don’t think anyone’s surprised about the extraordinarily creative input the Gorillaz have been cranking out lately, and the quasi-real crew are taking things to another level on their new “Stylo” video, an Avatar real world meets animation flick that’s part experimental trip-hop, part “Cannonball Run” and all crazy.
