B4.Da.$$ Brooklyn native Joey BadA$$ celebrated his 20th birthday with the release of his debut album B4.Da.$$ on January 20, 2015. The highly anticipated independent artist meets all expectations with the album, expressing his upbringing and societal value of the dollar bill. Joey has definitely brought back that legendary New York sound in songs like "Hazeus View" and the single "Christ Conscious." Audiences have given mixed reviews, some saying he has "sold out," while others are calling the album a classic. I understand both views, being that Joey is known to have classic lyricism like in his classic mixtape 1999. B4.Da.$$ doesn't show his true lyricism, however the album is a great album, proving that Joey can develop music far beyond just bars. I would not say Joey has "sold out." Good job Joey hell of a way to bring the New Year in! # B4DAMONEY is available now! iTunes: http:// po.st/b4damoney     Amazon: http:// amzn.to...

That Ass Award I officially claim the year 2k14 of "That ASS." Between Nicki Minaj's Anaconda cover art and Kimy K's Paper cover, that's enough ass for the year. Kim Kardashian crashed the internet yesterday with her front cover issue on Paper Magazine. How do you feel about this? I'm not surprised of this exposure from Kim I mean she has a leaked sex tape, but I wish she was seen for the brains over sexuality. Kim Kardashian is a business and should be acknowledged as such. Hopefully this doesn't confuse the younger generation into thinking that beautiful women should only be seen as a sex symbol. No, I am not against nude photography and I am not judging Kim, but art and sex are different. There is some art that is sexual, but this cover is clearly exploiting just sex. I feel like it was highly unnecessary to grease her already desirable body up to add to the sexual display. Women I just think we should hold our self to a much higher pedestal. ...

 Happy Throwback Thursday    A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation Remember when New York and the other surrounding northern cities dominated the hip hop industry? I'm talking about the Wu Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B. & Rakim, Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Big L, Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, DMX, Slick Rick, Mobb Deep & Many more! Well all has definitely changed, since that time hip hop has become more national and international. Now you see MCs from all over the globe, but myself and many others miss and remember what hip hop use to be. Rappers are no longer coming from Cali, New York and occasionally the mid west. People the international success of hip hop isn't a bad thing though, this simply mean the genre has finally taken over the world. Hip Hop spread like a wild fire after the historic 90s era! I'm proud that the music I love is impacting so many people in different ways, allowing highly skilled new talent to arise! So for throwback thu...
