Chris Rock Speaks On His Two Kids, ‘Top Five’ And More (Video)
December 17, 2014
For real for real, Chris Rock has been in this game strong for decades. Short and plain: He knows some sh!t. Take this opportunity to eavesdrop on The Tonight Show convo that he and host Jimmy Fallon have (on a variety of hilarious topics).
On parenthood. Have a ton of kids… or none at all. Having just one is too much work!
On “Top Five.” It’s hard to write a script…but it’s not when you have no job!
On his rap deal. I was nice… never came out though. I’m the ‘Lance Armstrong’ of smart!
On jinky promoters. Offer you everything… BUT what you need. One offered me his girl (‘You want Sheryl?’)!
Too short and plain? Okay, watch the first clip above… and keep on after the jump. You’ll get it (e.g. the chuckles)!

Questlove Speaks On Beef With Notorious B.I.G. And Diddy Back In The Day, With Chris Rock Being Around For The Best Music EVER (Video)
December 9, 2014
The world felt the loss of Biggie. BUT… Y’all don’t know nothin’ about the pain real Hip-Hop heads felt… in Chevy Chase (Maryland, USA)!! Ha!
Well, Rosenberg will tell you. Then quickly move to the meat of the video – Questlove and Chris Rock. The Roots’ main man and percussionist supreme starts by telling the story of beef before the fall of B.I.G.; and never getting to squash it with him…THENNNN… almost catching a 15-man beatdown by Puff Daddy and his ‘family’ soon after (okay, that got squashed… sorta). THENNNN… Chris Rock talks about his contributions to the Hip-Hop world library; and how Kanye’s album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” was the best ever.

Chris Rock Says Kanye West’s ‘MBDTF’ Is Probably The Best Album In The Last 25 Years (Video)
December 1, 2014
Social media has been abuzz about Chris Rock’s recent statements in a promo interview for his new film ‘Top 5’ when he made statements about Kanye West’s now classic ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album. Chris Rock says stated that he believes that Kanye’s ‘MBDTF’ album could probably be the best album over Michael Jackson’s iconic ‘Thriller’ album & the best album overall in the last 25 years. I don’t know if I can say the impact was greater than Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ album, but Kanye West is this hip hop generation’s equivalent to Michael Jackson in so many ways. The difference is that Kanye West does indeed make popular records that also make you think. I know Kanye West is the most popular hip hop artist in the world today, but I’ll also add that he’s also one of the most important artists in the last 10 years or more.

Chris Paul Speaks On Leaving The Clippers And Linking Up With James Harden And The Rockets To Win A Championship Ring (Video)
July 18, 2017
This just in: Chris Paul is now a Houston Rocket.
Sorta. The news is a couple of days old. But the shock waves are still being felt, and the impact of the collapse of whatever ‘bridge’ between Paul and the Clippers organization… Well, folks are gonna try to put some scale to that in the months to come; no doubt. But the nuances in this clip – Paul’s poised (carefully worded) responses to questions, how joining James Harden on a new team might play out and even how cute Paul’s son’s (little Chris) wishes for his competitive dad “played” out – make for an intriguing watch.
Chris Paul sits down with Shelley Smith and talks about his six-year run with the Clippers, his relationship with James Harden and the challenge of stopping the Warriors.

December 21, 2016
Man… RIP Craig Sager. If only he and 2 Chainz had had a photo opp for this. Sager in one of his trademark outlandish courtside outfits; 2 Chainz in something like this ‘Most Expensivest Sh*t’…
To get into the holiday spirit 2 Chainz and his jeweler, Joe Avianne of Avianne & Co, designed and created the Most Expensivest ugly Christmas sweater ever. The sweater was auctioned off by 2 Chainz, and the proceeds were given to the TRU Foundation.
Spoiler alert: The sweater… NOT that ugly.
Styles P Speaks On The Diamond Life Project, Rock The Bells, The Passing Of Chris Lighty, & More (Video)
September 7, 2012
In his interview with The Breakfast Club (Power 105 Morning Show), Styles P (the self-proclaimed ‘Elder Statesman of Hip-Hop’) lets us know about “The Diamond Life Project” (available FREE here), that ‘the bars are back’ (e.g. lyricism has returned to Hip-Hop), and that (for the most part) he’s a good guy selling juice at his juice bar and doing his music. On the music, Styles P said he is “working on” a solo joint and LOX is working on a group joint, too… We’ll see. Styles kept it light for the sit-down, but he had to touch on the silliness (read: shamefulness) of the Mobb Deep beef and on the tragedy of the loss of Chris Lighty. Respect. Of course, there’s more to the video than that. Watch the interview for the rest. Good stuff.

Chris Brown – “Had To Do It… Sorry DJ Khaled”
August 8, 2018
Not sure if Khaled was ‘in’ on the titling of this song. Is this an apology, maybe for leaking this cut early, or an ‘apology’ for him ‘killing’ the track. Not sure what C Breezy was trying to get across, but give him credit for trying to get it across on the flip of MJ’s “Rock With You” track.

Smoke DZA x Pete Rock – “Limitless” feat. Dave East
November 7, 2016
Smoke DZA and Pete Rock promise to finish the year with a start-of-Christmas-season gift, “Don’t Smoke Rock,” on December 2, 2016. The lead leak from that is this “Limitless†single (featuring Dave East). Here’s what the coming album’s architects have to say about it.
It’s a vibe, it’s a painting, it’s a moment. Something that comes around once in a while. I come from old Harlem, before it was a Chase Bank & Starbucks on every corner. Before gentrification.
– Smoke DZA
As diehard New Yorkers, It was important for us to make a record that embraces what New York truly feels like. We wanted to bring the listener into our world.
