By Gotty™ With guests such as Kid CuDi, Snoop & Estelle slated for his upcoming Sex Therapy, let’s hope that Thicke puts them all on one track, gets the Hip-Hop out of the way and sticks to the script that won over heads last time around.

Not allowing Jay-Z & Eminem to create a monopoly with DJ Hero, Genuis Products is upping the ante and taking Hip-Hop back to the essence with Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. With credible contributors in Quincy Jones III and Mixmaster Mike, the game utilizes two pieces of real DJ equipment,...

While it took Beanie Sigel over a half-hour to convey his thoughts, Jay gives his assessment in under a minute. Cool Hand Luke never gets rattled. Who's right? Who's wrong? No real winners here. While Jay understandably sheds light on the fact that Beans should be in the same position Bleek ...

Big city lights. The Blueprint 3. Black n' white backdrop. With the warm-up taking place yesterday at Yankee Stadium, Jay & Alicia unveil their mini-movie with the expertise of the one & only Hype Williams. Clap for 'em. The results are as majestic as the song itself. A rare feat to ...

By Contra™ Regardless, there was a time when Roc-A-Fella reigned. Now, Dame Dash is a joke, Jay-z is a married man, Kanye is a gay fish and the rest are dogs off their leashes at best. The times, they are a changing. Freeway Feat. Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel - “What We Do”
