Nas' Controversial 'Best Lyrical Hip Hop List'

As part of the new Rollingstone series, Nas has created a top 10 list for the Best Lyrical Hip Hop songs of all time. I must warn you.. this list will make you shake your head repeatedly. Check out the list and my thoughts after the jump.




Nas's best lyrical hip hop records of all time are:

1. “My Downfall” – Notorious B.I.G., 1997
The lyrics are about how he’s acing the shadows of death, despite all of his success, and he’s giving it to you in a way that makes it seem so real.
 2. “If My Homie Calls” – 2pac, 1991
He’s just saying to his boys that he’s going to be a friend no matter how big he gets.
3. “Road To The Riches” – Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo, 1989
The way we’re rhyming now? He was already doing it then .
4. “A Bird In The Hand” – Ice Cube, 1991
5. “Paid In Full” – Eric B. & Rakim, 1987
6. “I’m Single” – Lil Wayne, 2010
I’m recently divorced, so I feel what he’s saying.
7. “Tears of Joy” – Rick Ross, 2010
Ross is at the pulpit here.
8 “The Moment I Feared” – Slick Rick, 1988
It’s cinematic. He’s at a hip-hop show and ices this girl who played him, then he’s in prison getting violated by some dude. This was unheard of.
9. “Empire State of Mind” – Jay-Z, 2009
This song is huge. It sounds like Broadway. It’s New York’s modern anthem.
10. “Queen Bitch” – Lil’ Kim, 1996
At the time, females rappers didn’t appeal to the street, but Kim came with the vulgarity, sexuality and gangster shit.


In the words of Ed Lover, Coooooo-mon-son. This list is ridiculous. Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lil Kim.. and out of all of Jay's songs you choose "Empire State of Mind?' How do you not have artists: Talib Kweli, Eminem, Jedi Mind Tricks, GZA, The Roots, Lupe Fiasco, Andre 3000, Common, Black Thought, just to name a few. I was troubled by this list and as a Nas fan this was extremely disappointing to read. If you know hip hop then you might feel the same.

Drake Born To Be Documentary (Video)

So here's a new documentary featuring Drake. Hip Hop's diversity is illustrated here with Jewish, Canadian Drake being the "new face" of the hip hop game. I'm all for the diversity in the game right now, but 'Born to Be?' Easy on the crown.
He represents the new generation. And with hip hop royalty in his corner, he’'s on his way to inheriting the throne of the new rap world. Aubrey Drake Graham was Born to Be. - Karla Moy

J. Cole on His Release Date & Guest Producers


Jermaine says the album is done! However, he says that he's looking to add a couple more songs here n there. Some notable producers that are rumored to appear on the album are Brian Kidd, No I.D. and Danjahandz. Of course J. Cole himself will produce most of the album. Here's what he said:

“The album could be done. If I needed to put it out next week, I would be able to,” he told Rap-Up.com. “My expectations were already super high and I think the fans’ were too, but now that the mixtape is out and the response is what it is, I kind of want to go back in and do a few more songs that are that much better, just to boost the level of the album.”
The emcee also noted that the album might be released in or around March and that he’s hoping to drop a single within the next few weeks. The single, he added, will feature a guest and Cole noted, “It’s what a lot of people been waiting on.”

Mickey Factz Speaks 'All City Chess Club' Super Group!


The Bronx native Mickey Factz recently spoke with V Exclusive about joining the All City Chess Club super group full of some of the most talented young MCs in the game. He mentions that he's planning on collaborating with ACCC members J. Cole and Diggy Simmons in the near future and that he hopes to see an All City Chess Club tour or mixtape! Below is a preview of the article:

“Lupe had an interview at a radio station and he said ‘Mickey Factz is part of All City Chess Club,’” said Factz yesterday (Nov. 23). The Jive/Battery Records rapper says he had no idea Lupe was inducting him. “I just twittered him: ‘I humbly accept.’”

“Me and Lupe, we’ve spoken a lot in the past, toured together, so it just makes sense,” Mickey says of joining the team. “We kind of have the same ideology when it comes to music, so I’m glad that he finally decided to put me down. It’s definitely a natural fit.”

The End of Free Media?

The End of Free Music, Movies and TV Shows Has Arrived

Say it aint so! This is breaking news to those of you who enjoy reading blogs and free media. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has given the Justice Department the power to take down all websites offering free media. Its called the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act. ANY website thought to be distributing copyrighted materials can get shutdown immediately. I think this idea is absurd, you can not stop free media on the internet, it's impossible. The more blogs you take down the more blogs will arise. There was a website/blog by the name of TheHottestIsh that they shut down already.. this is just the start before your favorite blog gets hammered down next...

Lupe Fiasco Speaks On Lasers: "I became more simple. Still complex, but..."


Lupe Fiasco sat down with Baltimore Sun earlier today where he talked about the sound of the highly anticipated album Lasers, Atlantic Records, being underrated as an artist and more. Here's an excerpt:


On the sound of Lasers:
“Musically, I’m more comfortable bending genres. … The album feels more popular, if that makes sense. The message is a little more wider. More people will be able to get it and it’s more clear. I became more simple. Still complex, but I became adept at communicating better. … There’s a lot of rock influence on the record. A lot of trip-hop, downbeat stuff. Some of it doesn’t even sound like a hip-hop record.”


On if he feels underrated as an artist:

“Commercially, yes. But I don’t do commercial music so I would be a fool to think think I’d get commercial acceptance. Culturally, I probably have more kudos than the next guy. Jay-Z has called me the greatest writer of our time. … I’m good. I’m happy.”

J.Cole Complex Magazine Interview


J.Cole talked to complex magazine about his verse on Yeezy’s G.O.O.D Friday track, Jay Electronica, and his new Friday Night Lights Mixtape, read some of the interview below or read it in full here.
On the making of his “Looking For Trouble” verse…

“[That verse] was last minute. I got the beat the night before from my manager. But nobody told me they wanted to do it for G.O.O.D. Friday, and definitely not that G.O.O.D. Friday. I was like, ‘Oh man, that beat is dope. I’ll write to it soon.’ The next day I woke up in Kalamazoo, Michigan—I was on tour—and I was getting ready to go to Detroit because I had a radio promo event to do. So I got a call from Kanye and he was like, ‘What’s up? It’s Kanye. Can you get that verse today? I’m tryna put the song out tonight.’ I honestly didn’t think I could do it in time so I told him that. He said, ‘I’ll wait. We got engineers up all night so you got a while to do it. But if you can, have it done by today.’ I said, ‘I’ll make it happen somehow.’
“I wrote my verse on the hour-and-a-half ride to Detroit, did the radio promos, left that, went directly to the studio, laid the verse, and sent it to him by 5 o’clock. Mind you, I didn’t hear anybody else’s verses or the song itself, I just heard the beat and did my verse. I drove back to Kalamazoo and did the show. When I got offstage, he had just put the song out, and I sat back and watched all the comments as people went crazy. It was a beautiful night.
“I don’t know what it is [when it comes to features]. What it comes from is fear, that’s why I go so hard [on guest spots]. I’m a real competitor. It’s just a fear of somebody besting me and dominating me with a better verse. Not every song is like that, but on a song like ‘Looking For Trouble’ it is. It’s that spirit of hip-hop: Let’s see who can come the best. I don’t know if I’m going to have the best verse, but I know ain’t nobody just gonna kill me.”

New Music: Nicki Minaj x Kanye West - “Blazin”
