It's a satirical piece from The Onion, but, like The Onion does best, there's an element of truth in the story:

Cocaine Blunts has a post on Pharoahe with a video interview with the man himself, something that we'd all like to see. I first heard about Monch recently, when I heard his sick cover of "Welcome to the Terrordome", bringing it up a notch, even though Public Enemy already lit that noise on fire.

Kanye West seems to be working on a new album, one that involves organizing a large group of women to stand nude in a studio, looking grumpy, like the lady shown above.
The original of that photo shows her topless, with more naked ladies in the background.
Now, I've always been a proponent of...

And why not? Wu-Tang birthed a sense of cool that was t...

With all the controversy over the Olympics, it's easy to lose sight of the important things, like the actual events.
And there's so many events now that it's hard to keep track of them, too. For example, the 25m women's pistol shooting. That's an event?
Well, WIMB is reporting that New York Ma...

Nas rocked out the East Coast with Illmatic, his seminal hip hop album that brought serious thinkers into the fold. Over time, sure, he lost a lot of appeal, but he's always been that guy. The guy that put out Illmatic.
When Nas goes on The Colbert Report, what do you think Colbert would ask him ...

Hip-Hop is such an American thing that its sometimes easy to forget that it happens elsewhere in the world. In a country where people have accents as annoying as Australia (lets face it...) it may be tempting just to assume that its not likely that youll come across it and leave it at that.

Thursday nights in Melbourne just got interesting thanks to Jam Packed Entertainment and Paris Wells.
In a city filled with artists and musicians it is unusual to stumble across one that stands out in the way Paris does, it seems however, that this kind of discovery is nothing new to her. Plucked...

I'm trying to combine as many posts as possible this week... today, a post on hip hop videos done in the super-popular life simulation, The Sims.
I've only played The Sims a handful of times... sure, it's a little compelling, creating a virtual embodiment of you and your roommates, then locking y...

Nas rocked out the East Coast with Illmatic, his seminal hip hop album that brought serious thinkers into the fold. Over time, sure, he lost a lot of appeal, but he's always been that guy. The guy that put out Illmatic.
When Nas goes on The Colbert Report, what do you think Colbert would ask him to do? Talk about hip hop? Perform a song? Introduce a cooking recipe book?
How about, play a little Rock Band.
And try to play a song by Canadian rockers, Rush?
Hell, I didn't expect that.
Should that post be on this site?
Ah, why not? Let's all revel in the intricate weirdness of the human taste for music. If you like Rush, Nas, rock out. Get freaky and rock the hell out.
How far can Nas take it? Do you think that, when he lived in the projects, he thought that, one day, he'd be playing video games on a show featuring a fake Republican on national television?
That last sentence shook me, too.
Can we get more rappers playing video games? And fewer gamers rapping?
