November 20, 2018
Bwaahaa! Ice-T didn’t know about the Wu-Tang Clan, but he instantly knew upon meeting them that he wanted them to be on their side. Wanted no smoke from the dudes wildin’ out of Shaolin!
Ice-T stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about his new album, Law and Order, Wu-Tang Clan and MC Lyte.
Ohhhh! Mr. X is Ice’s old homie Africa Islam! And they are into some of that new-new! Great interview with Heather B at the helm for this show ep.

Black Thought – “Conception†feat. Reek Ruffin
November 20, 2018
Sure, Black Thought is a super-lyricist (even he said so on Pun’s debut LP, remember?). But how about some soul singing though? He’s sung a tune or three on The Tonight Show. Tariq has been known to go there on soulful tracks, too. Listen to the “Conception†jawn for the latest example.
Oh. And don’t worry. This one’s got the dope lyricism we expect, too.

MC Serch Speaks On ‘The Gas Face’ And His Dealings With 3rd Bass, MC Hammer, And Nas (Video)
November 19, 2018
Point taken. It is probably appropriate to say that as far as ‘pure’ Hip-Hop for the Heads… Yeah, 3rd Bass was the first act with a White lead duo. Got the full interview MC Serch of 3rd Bass did with Vlad. Great insights… including a word on who actually owns Nas’ publishing rights. Start with part 1 above and keep watching after the jump.

The LOX – “Never Over” (Prod. By Rockwilder) [Video]
November 19, 2018
HA! SP started this jawn RAW as hell… blacking out by the time Rockwilder changes up the track running that “The Bridge Is Over” beat in there! Barz matter son! Plus you know Sheek and Jada followed up with no let up. Never forget The Bridge, but on this go ’round The LOX are stressing that Hip-Hop is “Never Over.”

Allen Iverson Speaks On Meeting Michael Jordan And Knowing The Notorious B.I.G. (Video)
November 16, 2018
Wow. A.I. knew Biggie like that. Got to think about that music project he was determined to drop at risk of torpedoing his pro ball career back in the day. Birds of a feather and such; wondering if he got a push, nod (or unh!) from Biggie if that rap career would have taken off.
(Okay, done thinking… NO WAY anybody gives up multiple MILLIONS for playing ball under contract for a ‘chance’ to make ‘some money’ in the rap game. NBA ‘bankshots’ paid WAY more than the ‘bank’ A.I. would have gotten as a rapper.
NBA legend Allen Iverson sits down with Complex’s Speedy Morman to drop gems on everything from his relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., to his conversation the first time he met Michael Jordan, to his iconic shooting sleeve, most memorable Kobe Bryant moment, opinion on the state of the NBA and more.

November 16, 2018
Okay. I saw the ‘heat’ in the comments for K-ShiNe’s freestyle for Flex that we just posted… Apparently, Jae Millz took that L. But even whisper the battlecat’s name and he’s back at you. Heavy bar talk with a double side serving of ‘petty’ for every hater. Ha!

November 16, 2018
… Yeah, now that she is outta there, and cashing BIG checks!
I will admit to being in my feelings (not in the fun Drake way) about the drama ESPN was giving Jemele before her departure, but it looks like she is doing alright now. Better than alright.

Who Killed Tupac & Biggie? LAPD Detective Greg Kading Names Names! (Video)
November 15, 2018
Just in case the decades of foot-dragging and the much-hyped USA Network miniseries did not quench your thirst for knowledge on the Notorious B.I.G. & Tupac murders, VICE gets the scoop in ’10 Questions’ posed to the lead investigator. And he answers them directly!
Ever wondered who committed the murders of Tupac and Biggie? Greg Kading, the LAPD Detective who investigated the murders, claims he has the answers. With a theory that allegedly implicates Sean Combs and Suge Knight, Kading claims to have solved two of the most famous murders in US history.
– VICE
A couple of things to keep in mind: (1) Kading’s investigation was directed toward clearing any blame regarding the LAPD’s role/coverup with respect to the murders of ‘Pac & BIG… (2) both the people Kading directly accused are dead #JustSaying

Yessir! Marco Polo is good for a banger when linking up with a Golden Era great. And he’s put in work with Masta Ace before. They’re used to putting out quality. Like “Kings” – off their collabo “A Breukelen Story” project.

Ebloxk – “Motions”
November 12, 2018
Listen! If that lovey-dovey ‘ish is a turnoff when it comes to your Hip-Hop, please fight through the soulful chants to get to the raw spit on this track. Similarly, if there is such a thing as “too raw” to you when it comes to heartfelt Hip-Hop music; don’t worry, because there is plenty of soul on this Ebloxk jawn. Simply and truthfully said… there is something for all heads when it comes to this track.
Hit the jump and let them tell you a bit about themselves. Then go back to the music and listen again. Good stuff!
