Friday Throwback: Nas’ “If I Ruled The World”
Earlier this morning, Big Money posted Nasty Nas’ new single Daughters , which is an ode to the fathers with daughters who are growing up a little too quickly and rebelliously for their tastes. I decided to keep up with the Nas theme for the Friday Throwback. In 1996, the Fugees blew up thanks to the power of the single Killing Me Softly from their sophomore album, The Score. It was also Lauryn Hill’s commercial introduction to the pop world. Just three days before Killing […]
The Blerd Interview: Andy Grammer
As it turns out, Andy Grammer speaks exactly like you would expect him to. This isn’t a bad thing – anyone who’s heard his earworm hit single “Keep Your Head Up” is very aware of the positive vibes that are the 27-year-old singer’s stock and trade.

Andy greets me on our phone […]

With his slightly stoned (OK, very stoned flow) and free-associative lyrics, he is still one of the best to ever represent the Bay. At very least, he’s proof that there are […]
Festival Summer: Rock the Bells & Afro-Punk Announce Lineups
Quiet as kept, the Rock the Bells festival has become THE event for hip-hop fans every summer. The 2011 iteration of the road show just announced it’s lineup for this summer, and Lauryn Hill and Nas are the main attractions. Hill, whose wildly inconsistent performances (not to mention habitual lateness) drew the ire of many fans last year, will be looking to redeem herself on the 2011 jaunt. Hopefully we get more soulful, inspired performances like the one she did […]
