Every few years, acclaimed Hip-Hop lyricists catapult a new liquor trend with rhymes that take over the radio waves and infiltrate the hottest club scenes. In the 1990′s there was Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella crew rapping about Cristal while, at the turn of the millennium, Busta Rhymes was known to “pass the Courvoisier.” Over the past few months artists like Drake, who represent the future of Hip-Hop , shouted-out lyrics about Moscato wine… Continue

The 42-year-old MC and producer from Long Island is “doing ok” but Scratch is asking fans to keep him in their prayers. Get The Inside Scoop on Long Island, NY Scratch also mentioned that Sermon was not on Twitter and that an account claiming to be Erick is a fake. The news comes just days after one of Sermon’s peers, Dwight “Heavy D” Myers , died suddenly at age 44 and just weeks after rapper Rick Ross suffered two seizures in one day. UPDATE: Former Def Jam label mate Nikki D wrote on her Facebook page that Erick Sermon is “doing well, up laughing and joking.” Kim Wingate, a close friend of Sermon and owner of justshuddup.com, told Allhiphop.com that high blood pressure was to blame for the attack.

Kim Kardashian has been spotted numerous times with this white Chanel fringe bag. I’m kind of feelin’ the bag but something about the fringes does not hit me right. I’m thinking they are too long, making this bag fug to me. To make it worse, she has the bag paired with loud outfits such as this leopard jumper and striped maxi dress. I may like this bag better if it was paired with a more subtle outfit. Or maybe I’ll just never get over the fringes. What do you think about Kim K’s bag? Fab or fug?

Today, Detroit rapper Big Sean released his debut album on Kanye West ‘s G.O.O.D. Music label. When I listen to Finally Famous , I can’t help but draw comparisons to Drake ; both artists are obsessed with fame and women, and their lyrical content reflects that. But unlike Drake’s Thank Me Later , Big Sean’s debut album is markedly superior in terms of production and musicality, thanks to No I.D. While I also like The Neptunes produced “Get It” and the playful “High” featuring none other than Wiz Khalifa, these are my top five songs: Big Sean Speaks On Drake Biting His Rhyme Style [VIDEO] Kelly Rowland Ft. Big Sean “Lay It On Me” [NEW MUSIC] 5. “Memories” featuring John Legend produced by No I.D. I’m a fan of songs that allow me to connect with the artist on a deeper level. So I like that Big Sean reveals himself on this track. The strings, piano, guitar, and layered vocals reinforce the sincere and sentimental vibe. 4. “Wait For Me” featuring Lupe Fiasco produced No I.D. and Exile Okay, so this sample just made my soul smile. And the fact that Lupe Fiasco jumps on is an automatic enhancement to the song. 3. “My Last” featuring Chris Brown produced by No I.D. Catchy. Fun and easy to sing along to. If you’ve heard this song on the radio recently, I’m sure you already know why this song is on my list! 2. “So Much More” produced No I.D. Comparable to Kanye West’s “Cheers” on College Dropout , this song nearly tops my list (mainly because the sample is so hot)! And unlike most, I like listening to rappers babble about their journey to stardom … seriously. 1. “I Do It” produced by No I.D. and The Legendary Traxster Let me just say, this beat is hard! And some of lyrics have me laughing my head off. I’ve probably listened to this song too many times. If you’re looking for a song to give you an ego boost, press play.
