I’m out for presidents to represent me: This week, Jay-Z and the missus popped round Barack’s crib, a cultural convergence that represented either the incredible power of hip-hop in smashing social barriers, or the incredible power of cardigans in rehabilitating the image of a man who once stabbed a peer [...]

Having migrated from France to set up base in London, producer-on-the-rise dEbruit is now looking to take his patented bump-hop sound worldwide. But be forewarned: his super slick sound is best enjoyed with the use of 3D glasses…

Get money! Ras Kass asked fans to cough up a collective $3,800 for the financing of his new album. A $15 dollar donation gets you, um, a copy of the CD, but for $1000 you also get some scribbled ‘Nature Of The Threat’ lyrics, a couple of [...]

The festive season found two of the stars of classic cut ‘The Show’ back in the limelight for different reasons. Doug E Fresh led the mic-rocking at a special seniors’ night, sorry, ‘Legends of Hip-Hop’ event at Ben E King’s, while Teddy Riley was accused of threatening to kill his daughters [...]

The other day a link to a rap-related Washington Post typo was passed around the Twitter-net. It concerned a journalist who apparently mistook Public Enemy’s emergency services rant, ‘911 Is A Joke’, for, er, an anti-9/11 song. Which is both pretty hilarious and pretty troubling for anyone who’s been listening to hip-hop for longer than, [...]

They Reminisce Over Jacko: Live in London, Pete Rock & CL Smooth offered a unique tribute to MJ, with Corey unleashing some distinctly British expletives on a fan unwilling to observe five seconds’ silence for The King of Pop. Afterwards, the Caramel King reflected that, while he enjoyed his latest trip [...]
