Over the years, people have been padding out their vinyl collections more and more. For a while, playing albums on your record player was considered dated. By then, people moved onto cassette players, then CDs, then just plain ol’ MP3s. But there was a magic to discovering new technology and finding new ways to play your music. Once streaming took the magic away, people started favoring old traditions again. People […]

Artists are notoriously defensive of their own work. They become combative towards critics who train their minds and writing skills to thoughtfully review a piece of art. This is especially true for someone like Kanye West. His massive, self-admitted ego couldn’t wrap his mind around a negative review of his work, especially when it’s as good as College Dropout. So when Rolling Stone gave him three and a half stars […]

“F**k The Police” is one of the most fiery, righteous rap songs of all time. Where Public Enemy eventually became a broader protest song, N.W.A’s scathing rage made the song raw and specific. However, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy E, and co. actually didn’t intend to make this great anthem that would fuel protests in the future. Instead, “F**k The Police” actually stemmed from the aftermath of a prank. In […]

It’s widely known that Lil Wayne will do just about any feature if the check cashes in. His feature run in the mid-late 2000s was unprecedented, a nonstop barrage of punchlines on any song. Consequently, it’s not often that someone would miss out on a premier feature from Weezy. However, Kid Cudi almost missed out on collaborating with him, all because of their sleeping schedules. During an episode of his […]

In all of the ups and downs throughout his career, Drake has always remained on top. The Pusha T feud couldn’t take him down. Even the rough knockout from Kendrick Lamar in their 2024 beef only kept him down for so long. Fast forward two years, and the Toronto MC decided the highly anticipated Iceman wasn’t enough. He needed two more albums to release on the same day. In celebration […]

You can’t tell the story of Wale Folarin without Jerry Seinfeld. All the way back to his early mixtapes, the DC MC would reference ‘the show about nothing’, weaving segments from Seinfeld into his songs. It was fresh and distinct, especially considering you wouldn’t immediately associate Seinfeld with hip-hop. Eventually, by 2015, the pair became good friends and worked on The Album About Nothing accordingly. In a 2015 interview with […]

History has suggested that the older you get, the worse your music becomes. After so long in the industry, you eventually run out of good ideas, and your work progressively declines. Some artists have been able to buck the trend, especially across the 2020s. The Cure released one of their best, most haunting albums with their 2024 record Songs of a Lost World.
