Got into this debate at the barber shop the other day and to be honest I always thought MOP's best album was their 2nd banger "Firing Squad" when they linked up with Primo but a lot of dudes were actually talking First Family For Life and To the Death and to be honest I could see First Fam or...

First things first, the Roots are one of my favorite hip hop groups and have been repping my city of Philly for WAY over 15+ years but lately I haven't really been feeling their albums post Things Fall Apart. Don't get it twisted, they're some jawns on all of those albums but as a whole I can't...
Dope video of Primo hearing Will Sessions' Elmatic instrumentals of NY State of Mind, Memory Lane and Represent. It's ill to hear that Nas picked the sample to use and made me think, with hip hop production, if someone GIVES you a sample, shouldn't they get co production credit? I mean, the bulk...
I was chopping it up with my man and he said something like "the Gangstarr Foundation was a solid unit" and I was like "huh?" Trust, I loved Guru and there's no doubt that Jeru was a beast but to me the ONLY thing dope about the Group Home was Primo's beats and Dap's voice and I never really...
Dope stuff. Nas made a huge point to me of the hood being in the studio with him and I'm sure that's changed since Illmatic and it seems like as rappers outgrow their hood so does their music...which causes the backlash from the hood. Also dope to hear him say how Primo out of all of the cats...

I know a lot of cats have said Primo's fallen off and I've got my own personal beefs with a lot of the music he's been coming with over the past 11 years BUT the man has had some BANGERS over the past 10 years! Just threw together this mix of my personal fave bangers from 2005-2011. What are...
Mos let this jawn go on his facebook page and even though it's just a snippet Mos sounds DOPE on this! Who would ya'll want to produce a new Blackstar album? I'd go with half produced by Madlib and I'm sure there's gotta be 6 ILL Dilla jawns we haven't been blessed to hear...

Been trying to fill out my top 10 of producers. I always had the top 5 locked in but never gave too much thought to the next 5. But what's good with Diamond D? This dude had a CLASSIC album from senior year in high school with "Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop", part of the world famous "Diggin in the...

I've had the debate for years about who's the best producer on the mic and Q Tip's name has NEVER come up. But after watching the Tribe I REALLY just realized this dude has produced TWO classic albums and a VERY GOOD album and that's more than some of the cats who are in my top 10 have done in...
