The Pinkprint shows how much Nicki Minaj has crossed-over. Over the years following her rise to fame, she has abandoned any allegiance to the Hip-Hop genre and has instead become a strange and unpleasant amalgamation of cheap Pop music, tacky video aesthetics, and exaggerated body parts. The album […]
Hip-Hop is now undoubtedly a watered-down, fake version of itself. Case in point; J. Cole’s track “Fire Squad” from his upcoming album Forest Hills Drive. The track is okay (nothing to write home about) but when it was released yesterday, people focussed on a section from one of […]
Artists from the underground Hip-Hop genre have given us many great and memorable mixtapes. But since the mixtape is free, fans ignore and forgive any shortcomings these releases may have. An Album on the other hand, is supposed to be different; it is supposed to be “professional”, it […]
Anybody who remembers the hype that surrounded Canibus in the late nineties remembers that almost everyone was on his side during the beef he had with LL Cool J. But like some kind of Hip-Hop train wreck, over the years that followed, he completely destroyed any credibility and […]
With the majority of the singles having already been released during the last few months, it isn’t hard to piece 50 Cent’s upcoming album together. And whether he decides to add an extra track here or there, or toys with idea of re-arranging the tracklist; “Animal Ambition” will […]
Future represents everything wrong with contemporary Hip-Hop; he has a deliberately slow-moving flow and his songs always feature club and chart focussed choruses complete with dumbed-down lyrics. In fact his music is so bad, that if you listen to any of his horrendous tracks, each with their […]
It gets tiring trying to defend Hip-Hop music, especially when the contemporary image is that of misogyny and money. Every time you bring up reasons why Hip-Hop is great, the majority of people don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. The only Hip-Hop they’re aware of is […]
Sub-Culture styles are only genuine when they are first created. If you were a “Punk” in the late seventies, you meant business. If you dressed “Hip-Hop” in the late eighties, you meant business. Ever since the nineties however, with the arrival of mass-production and mass-marketing; Sub-Culture fashion has […]
What is the point in the MOBO Awards? What started as a wannabe BET-cum-Source-Award-knockoff has slowly become shittier and shittier over the years. The longer this lame excuse of an award show goes on, the more it seems to sell-out. I mean having Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, and […]
It’s 2013 and Hip-Hop is almost dead thanks to a handful of lame faux-MC’s that spurt out the same lyrical content on every track they spit on. Contrivances like “Clubs”, “Cars”, “Clothing Labels”, and “Champagne” is all these cunts seem to yap on about. If it weren’t for […]
From the minute we hear Jay-Z’s faux-A$AP-Rocky flow on the first track of Magna Carta… Holy Grail, we are reminded of how tired this old rapper has now become. Jay-Z has gone from being a wannabe Jaz-O, wannabe Biggie, wannabe Nas, wannabe Russell Simmons, to wannabe credible. With […]
Ever since the sun set on the Golden-Age of Hip-Hop, fans and the industry alike have been looking for a Savior to kick-start a new Rap epoch. However, when an entire culture is on a constant lookout for a Hip-Hop Second Coming; they collectively end up lauding someone […]
Timbaland and Pharrell Williams are walking, talking, and producing examples of musicians who have sold-out. These two Virginian Pop-whores managed to take a genre famed for its grimy sound, and over a decade metamorphose it into modern-day Disco trash. Because of these two money-hungry bitches, Hip-Hop will never […]
WHAT WENT WRONG WITH...?
