Watch Common “Rate The Bars” (Video)

Hmm… You’d think Common would be a ‘tough room’ when it comes to being impressed by the bars. And if you think that will be the case on this ep of “Rate The Bars”… Well… just watch.

Common comes through to rate bars from Black Thought, Kanye West and more!

Politics: Wondering “Who is Richard Spencer?” Talib Kweli Explains (Video)

The father of Alt-Right, the term and the movement. Don’t know what that means? Worry not… well not about not knowing, because Talib Kweli narrates an explanatory clip above on that. But DO worry about this RACIST’S rise to power and his continued influence!

‘Hail Trump!’ — Richard Spencer is the unapologetic White supremacist who you probably watched get punched in the head. He’s also the man who coined the term ‘alt-right’ and planned the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville that resulted in Heather Heyer’s death.

So how did this Pepe-The-Frog meme incarnate become the flag-bearer of American racism?

– NowThis News

And now he doesn’t think President Trump has gone far enough? Wow.

J-Ness – “Coming To Collect” (Video)

Interesting. Dude is going all 50 Cent “How To Rob” for the 21st Century on all the top gunners in the game. Wonder who among the dissed will hear, and more pertinent… who will respond.

Piscataway, New Jersey, rapper J-Ness is tired of the status quo in Hip-Hop, so he decides to come for everybody’s neck in the song “Coming To Collect.”

Pusha T, Logic, Swae Lee, Ja Rule, Rick Ross, Cassidy, J. Cole, Tekashi69, Swae Lee and practically any other rapper you can think of serve as target practice in this visual.

Marqus Clae – “Headlights” (Video)

I’m the illest in rap…

Say that then Clae! Glad to come across something else to post from dude. I’m never worried when I don’t get stuff from an artist over time. If they were meant to stay in the game, they are still working… If not, I won’t get anything else from them anyway. So no worry, just thankfulness when they drop off the evidence that they are still ‘ill’… How ill is Clae though? Well, ill emcees have followers. The illest emcees have a few stalkers… but this dude is stalking himself!

Okay then. There it is.

Styles P – “Blam, Blam, Blam” feat. Benny The Butcher x Conway The Machine

Styles P getting it in on track with Griselda Gang. YOU tell ME what you think this is. Rhetorical question really: You already know the kind of gritty this jawn is gonna be on! I mean, check the title alone… “Blam, Blam, Blam”… C’mon son!

Single off Styles’ new album, ‘Presence,’ featuring Griselda MCs Benny The Butcher & Conway The Machine. ‘Presence’ marks Styles’ third project of the year. In May, he dropped off S.P. The GOAT: Ghost Of All Time and shortly after, he unleashed a joint project with his son ahead of Father’s Day titled, Generational Excellence.

The Game – “Stainless” feat. Anderson .Paak (Video)

I kinda of think of Anderson as the ‘seasoning’ when he collabs on Hip-Hop tracks (a new way to think about that .Paak part of his name… like seasoning ‘.Paak’… get it?). Here he is peppering the track he did with The Game. Official visuals for “Stainless” above.

Black Thought Speaks To A Roomful Of Creatives & To Creatives Around The World (Video)

Man! I am so glad he finally addressed the whole Tariq vs. Tarik spelling of his name. Had me messed up trying to get his name right in these write-ups. Okay, there’s WAY more to his speech than that. Good wisdom. I’m just saying that part stuck out right at the start.

Black Thought speaks at the Here Are All The Black People event, Oct 30, 2019. Put together by The One Club for Creativity.
If you’re a creative PLEASE WATCH.

And let me add that this is something worth watching even if you do not consider yourself a creative.

DJ Shadow – “Drone Warfare” feat. Nas x Pharoahe Monch

As dope as both these emcees are, they have never collaborated before now. But now Queens finally meets Queensbridge. Not gonna expend energy trying to figure out why it took so long to get them together on a track like this… gonna save that for the head-nodding and face-scrunching. Dope!

Plus the beats and scratches by DJ Shadow. Yoooooooo!

DJ Shadow has unveiled a new song from his ambitious double album – Our Pathetic Age – now available via Mass Appeal. Our Pathetic Age is the result of an intensely creative period that found the Hip-Hop and electronic innovator delving further into original composition and experimentation “Drone Warfare” features Queens-native Pharoahe Monch and New York Legend, Nas.
