You wouldn’t typically associate Busta Rhymes with music down South. But the beautiful thing about the Dungeon Family is that they were inviting to any and everyone, not just their fellow Atlanta natives. Everyone from Pimp C to Curtis Mayfield could make magic with artists like Outkast, Goodie Mob, Sleepy Brown, and Rico Wade. So when Busta Rhymes joined the crew one night in the studio, it wasn’t that out […]

Everyone has come up with an excuse at one point in their lives to get out of work. Sometimes, it’s because something came up, either a basic scheduling conflict or something bad occurred. Other times, it might be for the sake of burnout and mental health concerns. A lot of times, people are just plain ol’ tired and want the day off. For Ludacris, though, an opportunity came knocking, and […]

Don’t expect Cam’ron to indulge in a Verzuz battle any time soon. After he got thrashed alongside Dipset against The Lox, he’s always seemed reluctant to get back in the ring personally. Moreover, he’s really not getting in there with his friend-turned-rival Jim Jones after he challenged Cam to a Verzuz on Instagram. “Tell ya mans I wanna do a verse against him since he made us lose our last […]

In the history of hip-hop, rappers have only had so many opportunities to star in horror movies. Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Redman, Busta Rhymes, and Snoop Dogg are some of the only exceptions to the rule.

The anniversary edition of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket includes all six bonus tracks, and they’re also available on streaming platforms for the first time. To celebrate these beloved, offbeat tracks finally being released together, […]

Think back to any beef in hip-hop history: what were they about? Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s cold war was about a lot of complicated cultural and social issues packed with flat-out hate. Pusha T vs Birdman, then vs Lil Wayne, then vs Drake— those were all a matter of principle. But most often, the source of grudges can feel muddy and incoherent after a while. 50 Cent and Ja Rule […]

We’ve waited four years for a follow-up to the smash comic book movie from Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Now, we’re getting some wild rumors about who’s going to join the cast. According to Hollywood journalist Jeff Sneider, we’re slated to get Brian Tyree Henry to play the role of Harvey Dent in the film’s sequel. Best known for his work with Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) on Atlanta, he would […]

The New York Knicks are so close to winning this year’s NBA Finals. It’s been over 50 years since the last time they won a title back in 1973, when Willis Reed and Walt Frazier were their stars. The last time they made it to the biggest stage in basketball was back in 1999 as the 8th seed, eventually losing to the San Antonio Spurs. Now, Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, […]
