Rolling Stone Introduces “The King of Hip-Hop” In New Article
…and actually, I have less of a bitch about this than you might think. Of course, Rolling Stone magazine has never exactly been the go-to place for anything related to hip-hop culture, so I automatically took their list of hip-hop titans with a grain of salt-even before I dug into it.

After all, a wait that long serves no other purpose than to whet the appetite. Fortunately, while estranged ex-BFFs Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ were famously rhyme partners before infighting necessitated their breakup, the duo, […]

Award shows were a huge factor in this week’s chart. Aided by major wins at the Tony Awards, a physical release and some […]
