Young M.A Breaks Down “PettyWap†(Video)
September 26, 2018
Young M.A breaks down her “PettyWap” single. Makes it even doper when she helps you catch all the cleverness in the lyrics.
Young M.A just dropped her newest single “PettyWap†this month, a follow up to her March release “Praktice.†The Brooklyn-bred rapper initially rose to fame after her 2016 hit “OOOUUU†went viral, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 later that year with the help of remixes by notable fellow New York MC’s like 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma. “PettyWap†has already garnered 7.2 million YouTube views since its release earlier this month.

Fabolous & Jadakiss Break Down The Lyrics For “F vs. J Intro” (Video)
January 12, 2018
Daaaamit! We are NOT doing wack rap over here this year (as if we did ever). We are on the soapbox, standing for LYRICISM in the ‘018, like what we have her in the “F vs. J Intro.” The words and meanings behind them are laid out lovely by the architects of the rhyme – Fab and Jada.
Fabolous and Jadakiss ended 2017 with ‘Friday On Elm Street,’ a collaborative album that features Future, French Montana, Yo Gotti, Jeezy, and more. The title is a reference to the classic ‘Friday the 13th’ and ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ horror movies, and the project kicks off with the aptly titled “F vs. J Intro,†an abbreviated version of the film series’ respective villains Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kreuger. The horror movie mythology is woven throughout the track, as both Fab and Jada explain to Genius.

Brooklyn-Born Representative Hakeem Jeffries Recites Biggie’s “Juicy†Verses On The Congressional Floor (Video)
March 15, 2017
Did you hear about the Congressman that got up on the House floor and commemorated the 20th year since the passing of Notorious B.I.G. by reciting some lyrics from his late hometown’s hero? It was NOT a dream! And it was damned awesome. Never believe that Hip-Hop can’t move a nation. It does, and its leaders… and this should move YOU! Watch.
Just paid tribute to late/great #BiggieSmalls on House flr. Gone but never forgotten. #WhereBrooklynAt @OmariHardwick @diddy @MichaelSkolnik pic.twitter.com/2QaXOkmJdp

Joey Bada$$ Breaks Down “Land Of The Free†(Video)
February 27, 2017
What’s really cool about these videos where artists break their lyrics down… we get to learn not only about their throught processes with the lyrics, but about their thought lyrics as a person. For this Joey Bada$$ break down for his “Land Of The Free” jawn, even more so. DOPE!
Joey Bada$$’s politically charged track “Land Of The Free†was released on his birthday—and the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. It’s a single from his forthcoming album AABA but serves as his personal statement on the current state of America and his ambition to create change for the future.

Young M.A Breaks Down “OOOUUU†(Video)
December 10, 2016
Okay, I’m not the first to admit. But I wasted several clips – at several minutes each – that tried explaining what the hell Desiigner was saying on “Panda” (Panda… Panda Panda PandaPanda ggtthhrrrtaak!!). It almost made me not want to look at another lyric breakdown video again. Nut for Young M.A, oh hell yeah. She has EARNED the time I give in study of her work. I’m a fan. And her expo of the “OOOUUU” flow makes me even more so. Check it out.

Ice Cube Breaks Down The Lyrics To ‘Straight Outta Compton’ (Video)
August 11, 2015
Juuuust in case Ice Cube’s straightforward sword-sharp delivery of his lyrics on N.W.A.’s gangsta rap classic “Straight Outta Compton” were not strong enough to carry the message clearly to all… Vanity Fair brought in the man himself to properly interpret what he meant for his rhymes to say to the masses… and give feedback to folks who submitted what they thought Ice Cube meant. Good stuff. Watch.

Mobb Deep Speaks On Being Ready For Beef & Being Sampled Often (Video)
April 29, 2015
When Mobb Deep would say, “There’s a war going on outside, no man is safe from” … sh!t was real? Yes. And they stayed ready for ‘the realness.’ Hear about it from Hav and Prodigy themselves; and the respect they have for those who sampled them (as they considered doing so a compliment).
