Drake sat down at the Sirius studios with DJ Whoo Kid to discuss his new deal with Lil Wayne’s Young Money, the story behind the concept for his “Best I Ever Had” video, the importance of uplifting his hometown of Toronto, his upcoming album and work with Jay-Z, Jeezy, Mary J. Blige and more. Do Drake and Kanye really get along? Will he be doing […]
I’ve figured out who the gay rapper is and I don’t need tourette’s syndrome to tell you (sorry Wendy Williams). You may be surprised to know that he’s not only oneperson, its several people. Some of them you know very well because of their limelight status and some you may not know because […]
I could write about Sarah Palin, but honestly, conversations on her candidacy, interviews, and recent resignation have all been exhausted to the point where I wonder, what’s the point? Two wars abroad, a 9% unemployment rate, stories of homeless veterans, a military coup in Honduras, and a battle raging in Congress to determine the future […]
I laughed so hard thinking to myself who gives a sh*t about Will I. Am or Perez Hilton?? Why should I blog about them?? Its probably a waste of words and nobody would read it. The reality is people do care…when its convenient. Listen, I don’t know what sparked the feud between the […]
I remember being on the road with Rev Run and Kid Rock and Rev and I had an interesting conversation. We were talking about being humbled enough to play your position, with no ulterior motives and enjoy the ride. For some reason at that specific moment I realized that if I were to be any […]
Two of last week’s political sideshows have got me thinking about politics, promiscuity, and technology. First, Senator John Ensign admitted to having an affair after having, allegedly, been blackmailed. Around the same time, as young Iranians leveraged Twitter as a platform for their ongoing Revolution, GOP Rep Hoekstra was, deservedly, criticized for trying to draw […]
As Fathers Day approaches, its time to reflect on the good qualities your dad may have had that influenced you to be the man you are today. The truth is, my dad wasn’t around at all! I met my dad for the 1st time last year and shortly after we met, he died. This isn’t […]
This past Friday, Presidential elections were held in Iran for what promised to be a tight race between reformist candidate Mir Hussein Moussavi and incumbent President Ahamadinejad. Last week, young people marched through the streets of Tehran wearing bright green (a color associated with Moussavi) flashing smiles and peace signs. On Friday, before voting had […]
One of the greatest debates ever in Hip Hop is who was better Biggie or Tupac? I’m sure everyone has their own reason of who was best and has facts to support their choice of favorite emcee. Me personally, I don’t even think the 2 should be compared. One was a diverse lyricist, the other […]
Many have referred to the infamous “generational gap,” but this Memorial weekend I was able to experience it first-hand and to the fullest. My weekend began in Phoenix on Thursday. As I arrived at the Phoenician Hotel for the NAACP 500 Summit, I wasn’t sure of what to expect or what to pack. You see, […]
First off…I’d like to say this is the very first official blog of its kind. The Great Scott McKenzie x Rasheed Young collab blog. Think about it…2 visionaries in the lab, writing lyrics on the same topic but expressing it in different ways. We mind as well be considered the modern day Redman and Method […]
I miss real west coast rap. There’s nobody holding down the Westside like back in the days. West coast rap was so ill, even Def Jam created Def West to be a part of the action. Don’t front, no matter where you’re from, you loved the Dr Dre Snoop Dogg combination, Golden State Wariors (Xzibit, […]
