What's the original? : Show me what you got in the...
Jay Dee aka J Dilla and Busta Rhymes were probably one the best producer/Mc combos Hip Hop has ever known. They were getting the best out of each other and I don’t think Busta Rhymes has ever found another producer that could make his flow shine as much.
Jay Dee had this ability to create complex beats from scratch but he was also able to sample music in order to make its own. The...

The Moment I fell in love with Lauryn Hill, the...
Who doesn’t remember the character of Rita Watson, a rebellious student discovering her talent as a singer, played by a 18 year old Lauryn Hill in Sister Act 2. Her talent whether as an actress but especially as an singer shines through out the whole film. And Deloris played by Whoopi Goldberg is there to bring it to the world.
I was so compelled by the intensity and sincerity of Lauryn...

Nothing But Respect 4 Nicky Lars
My good friend, the producer Nicky Lars, is at the moment working hard on his solo projects that will undoubtedly have an impact in the music planet. However, I cannot reveal more otherwise he will kill me.
Here is however a little taste of his skills just below with this beat called Respect which is believe it or not a lost beat of his repertoire. But this Hip Hop/Electro beat is nothing but...

Watch Pras’ views on Wyclef’s run for Presidency in Haiti
I always felt that when your country is in his danger or that you see your own community suffer, you feel the urge to help your own people. In my eyes, Wyclef Jean, former member of the Fugees, has always seemed like someone who genuinely tried to help his native country Haiti.
Recently, Wyclef decided to take it to the next level...

What was that Ruckus? Wu Tang Clan Live @Brixton...
It was the first time in 3 years that the Wu Tang Clan was reunited for this European tour. To say that people were looking forward to this concert is an understatement. I was about to witness for the first time the group that followed me during my adolescence years.
As I was aware by now that concerts at the Brixton Academy always start late; I decided to show up at 8.45 thinking that the...

Give me a clue? Best solo album from the Wu
Method Man - Tical (15th November 1994)
Tical in reference to Blunts or Methodical is the first solo project from the Wu. Almost entirely produced by RZA, this album highlighted all the charisma from Mister Meth. With a gritty and distinctive voice, Method Man described us his ghetto tales with such an energy that we had no choice but to be trapped in it. Tical is arguably making his case for...

Now everytime a member of the Wu Tang has done a song that women...

Watch Wu Tang Clan - America Is Dying Slowly live (feat Killah Priest)
You cannot imagine how ecstatic I was when I saw this live performance for the first time back when I was catching up Yo! Mtv every sunday and was recording it with my VHS tape so that all my friends who didn’t have cable could watch it.
It is my favourite live tv performance from the Wu. Everything is just classic in this...

I Want You 2 Be On Time Badu (review+videos,...
My expectations for this concert were really high. Most of my friends had seen her on stage already and were nothing but ecstatic towards her charisma. She was also one the few Soulquarians that I didn’t see on stage yet (I can proudly tick on my list and I know this is just me showing off: D’Angelo, Questlove, Jill Scott, Common, Slum Village, Bilal and Mos Def).
Doors opened...
