This is a video that I just received in my email. Bob Johnson has got to be the biggest sellout ever. If you don’t know BET is owned by the evil empire called Viacom!!
Enjoy!
Rest In Peace Tupac.
June 17th, 2008 by M One
Some people love Tupac some people hate Tupac I feel that he had a lot to say and if you chill out and listen to this song you could actually visualize the verbal picture that he painted. Lets make this very clear I’m not some person from the burbs’ writing about the music.. I’am hip-hop, I’ve lived in NYC for years after growing up in the Hood in LA; I’m not knocking anyone not from these city’s but to get a better understanding of the hip-hop culture ( at lease 15 years ago) you needed to be apart of it. Before youtube this song would be submitted to through your eardrums and uploaded to your brain instantly providing a vision of a young black man’s aspirations of getting to the top by hustlin’.
This song was originally released on Thug Life Volume 1 and the cover of the album is on the clip..enjoy.

Just recently on a social site I notice that one of my friends had a top 10 song list… After being inspired I figured that I would create my own.
Let me know what you think.
Decisions, Decision - Goodie MOB
Nature of the Threat - Ras Kass
Why Andre 3000, Rakim, Dead Prez & Cee Lo Are Hurting The Hip-Hop Game.
May 27th, 2008 by M One
As you can see, I am a big fan of Hip-Hop, but over the past 10 years the majority of Hip-Hop exposed to masses has been trash. I just came across this Video where Killer Mike is being questioned about why Hip-Hop has fallen so far. The angle and reasoning behind his explanation is nothing less than Genius…enjoy.
Common And Kanye West Live in Los Angeles

Common and Kanye West in Los Angeles providing a quick hip-hop show @ DJ Reflex’s Birthday party. This room has so much energy in the air that you can cut it with a butter knife.
The future of the music industry.
May 1st, 2008 by M One
Last week in the New York Times I notice that Jay-Z just recently agreed to a 150 million dollar deal with Live Aid, a deal that will possible have him touring for the next ten years. This is the future of the music industry and possibly the only way an artist will be able to make a decent living. Nobody buys whole albums anymore, so what does the artist have to do to earn a buck? Provide a great show period. I mean who really cares about a whole album nowadays? iTunes is the king of downloads and nobody downloads a whole album; they download just a few tracks and they are done. Now as an artist you have to sell the album on stage to get the money you initially wanted from your album sales. Of course this is nothing new for an artist to go on tour, but now it is a necessity to stay afloat in this industry. You have an artist like Snoop Dogg whose album has been out for six weeks and has yet to reach the gold status and Snoop is the most identified hip hop artist in the world; I mean that has got to be frightening for other artist and VP’s. Snoop has not been on a 15 plus US city tour since “The up in smoke tour” in 2000, but I’m willing to bet that you’ll probably see him this summer at venue nearest you.
