    The 18 Best Rapper Movies

    Since the days of Wild Style and Krush Groove, rappers have put their music on hold and delved into the film world. A bunch of these efforts were pretty bad—remember Ice-T in Leprechaun in the Hood—while others were so bad they were good. Cam crying in Killa Season or KRS fleeing the sce ... More >>

    Beanie Sigel No Longer Peeved At Jay-Z

    ​"Whatever I felt this dude Jay did wrong to me, it can't outweigh the one thing he did do for me—he gave me an opportunity. Dude gave me an opportunity. A lot of people don't get opportunities. He gave me that. That outweighs everything. I need that in black and white. I got caught in t ... More >>

    Top 10 New Hardcore-Rap Classics Brought To You By Siccness.net

    ​I first noticed Siccness.net in 2009, when they released Beanie Sigel's street album, The Broad Street Bully.

    Download a Two-Part Tribute To Underappreciated Jay-Z Sidekick Memphis Bleek

    Bleek, doing what he does best. Photo via MySpace​He's probably the best rap hypeman ever to do it, short of maybe Flavor Flav. He's clearly a loyal and self-deprecating friend. He puts more talented people's interests above his own, always. And yet, no one cares. Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek met i ... More >>

    The 10 Best Verses From Kanye West's Good Friday Project, So Far

    ​As sustained, goodwill-generating rap publicity stunts go, Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Fridays series is almost entirely without precedent.

    The 10 Greatest Rap Songs About Video Games

    ​Def Jam Rapstar is the latest attempt to merge the worlds of hip-hop and video games.
