Amilcar goes in over one of my favorite beats of all time – BDK’s “Young, Gifted & Black”. This is one of those beats that sounds like it could have come out yesterday, when it actuality, it’s 20 years old.  Anyone else agree? “Over 20 kids in the school year got clapped, and what the…

Weren’t people in the comments section (like I read those!) crying for some Payroll?  Well, ask and you shall receive. And this one even features Memphis Bleek, who, ironically, I mentioned yesterday.  Did I ever tell you guys about the time I saw Memph Man in McDonald’s?  But I digress… Payroll feat. Memphis Bleek –…

Now some of you super Lupe heads probably know about this track, “Lupe The Killer” from his younger days (and the Revenge of Nerds mixtape), but I’m sure some of you aren’t on to this. Anyhoo, I’m posting because you’ll be able to this and many tracks like it on Chicago producer SC’s upcoming mixtape…

Other things I liked that people hated: -Canibus’ first album–Electric Circus -Memphis Bleek via Jimmy Valentine

How come every Common interview asks him the same damn softball questions ? Seriously. Where’s the hard-hitting stuff? Wait until FSD gets a chance to speak with Lonnie (we’ll see if that ever happens), I’m going to ask him questions that the real Chicago heads want to know. Like, will there be any Chicago artists…

RubyHornet recently did an interview with long-time Rhymefest video collaborator Konee Rok, who was nice enough to share some stills ‘from Fest’s first video from El Che, “Stolen”, a song dealing with the current madness going on in Darfur. In other El Che news, Konee confirmed that the first official single will be called “Binary…

pic jacked from H.E.R. Ruh-roh. Looks like the New York Daily News gave Kanye’s Glow In The Dark Tour stop in NYC a less-than-glowing review. **shots fired** Titled “Kanye West’s Wrong Direction”, Jim Farber (no relation!), writes: By appearing as a solitary figure on a blank expanse – with his band banished to a place…
