Posted by rashaentertainment — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:45 GMT

@DrDre Hip-Hop has always been the voice of the marginalize and downtrodden. The voice of dissent is rooted in its struggling beginning back in the torn and despised South Bronx neighborhood.

So the question is being asked by Dillard University president, Walter M. Kimbrough as to why Andre Young aka Dr. Dre "would donate $35 million - about 10% of his wea...

Posted by jkeysmusic — Wed, 22 May 2013 06:27 GMT

In 18 months I have gone from checking in barely a couple of times a week to deal with a handful of interactions, to...

NEW: Goodie Mob feat. Janelle Monae - "Special Education"

Posted by mauricegarland — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:26 GMT

Shied...I posted this on my Tumblr yesterday, but only because I wasn't at my computer all day and I couldn't embed to blog on my phone. But, it doesn't seem like a lot of people payed attention or cared to listen. Has faith in the new Goodie Mob album been lost? I'm not going to lie, I've been worried, but this song does offer some hope though. It's the best I've heard from Age Against the Machine so far. And in case you haven't heard, Cee-Lo just signed on to have a reality show on TBS ...
