The Truth With Elliott Wilson - Rap Fans Love Anticipation [Video]

YN is correct... with all of these teasers, trailers, "Whoever and Whoever in the studio" instagram pictures. When is enough, enough?

Rap fans love anticipation. Yeah, the state of hip-hop has been a little stale lately but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to look forward to. Some recent developments have got me excited. Let’s talk about Wale, Busta Rhymes & Big Sean.

The Truth With Elliott Wilson - Drake's "No New Friends" & "Girls Love Beyonce" [Video]

If I had to choose between the two, I'm going with the ode to King Bey... I think the best thing about "No New Friends" is Drizzy's verse. Outside of that, it pales in comparison, to its comparable 2011 summertime smash, "I'm On One"

Drake promised and he delivered…not one but two new songs. But do they measure up with his two previous 2013 releases, “Started From The Bottom” and “5 AM In Toronto”? Let’s talk about “No New Friends” & “Girls Love Beyonce.”

Jay-Z Covers TIME Magazine

To be named to the list of Top 100 Influential Persons in the world? I feel like "amazing," would be a vicious understatement. Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter has done it again. New York City's 108th Mayor, Michael Bloomberg had some dope things to say about HOV...

Jay-Z embodies so much of what makes New York New York. A kid from a tough neighborhood who grows up in public housing, overcomes lots of bad influences on the street, never lets go of his dream, makes it to the top — and then keeps going, pursuing new outlets for his creativity and ambition...

For Mayor Bloomberg's write up in its entirety, HERE.
