Video: Cam’ron Responds to Curtis

Thursday, May 17th, 2007


It was only a matter of time before Boo Boo re-ignited some petty beef to promote his new album.

Curtis caught shittalkeritis again and said something about Cam going in hiding since catching a black eye from Tru Life. As you can see, Cam is undeniably in hiding and obviously has a black eye.

Amy Winehouse ft. Jay-Z & Pharoahe Monch - Rehab (Rmx)
You know Hov had to listen to Pharoahe’s verse to ensure that he doesn’t repeat P’s crackhead references.

So, who had the better verse? P or J?

(Shout out to DJ Tone Capone)

Video: 50 Cent - Amusement Park

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

Everything you’d expect from a 50 Cent music clip, except “Amusement Park” is an incredibly catchy tune. 50 swears he’ll unleash three more clips before the album drops on June 26.

Video: KRS-One & Marley Marl - Hip-Hop Lives

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007


There are so many things wrong with Hip-Hop Lives, which arrives next Tuesday (May 22), but it’s still one of the most dynamic albums you’ll hear all year. And it’s much better than his last two albums combined.

While I still have your attention, do yourself a favor and check out some behind-the-scenes videos on Koch website, where Kris and Marley offer insight on tracks like “Rising to the Top,” “All School,” and “Kill a Rapper.”
