J. Cole’s ‘Born Sinner’ Album Review | The Anti ‘Molly Rap’ Album
“It’s way darker this time.” Right off top, the album opens with slave field chants, a fury beat and a classic Notorious B.I.G sample. At that moment, that very moment 1:00 in, you know it’s gonna be THAT type of album. You’re smiling, thinking, “Damn, this is what I’m talking about!” “Villuminati”, J. [...]

Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ Album Review | Classic or Tragic?
So. Here we are. Yeezus. This one takes a little longer to digest than the average rap album. It’s not one of those albums you run through one time and you know exactly how you feel about it. It’s far from that. It took me 3 listens before I could even get over the initial [...]

Nelly (feat. Nicki Minaj) – Get Like Me (prod. by Pharrell) | MUSIC
Posted June 18, 2013 by Dante
He went pop (and country) for awhile, but it seems like Nelly is ready to try and break BACK into the rap game. Backed by a classic sounding Neptunes beat thanks to Pharrell and a hot 16 from Nicki Minaj (who borrows Lil Scrappy’s “shiz-nayee” language for her verse), Nelly glides through the song [...]
