Rest In Paradise DMX – “Couldn’t Nobody F*k With Me Then… Can’t Nobody F*k With Me Now” (A DMX Rare Freestyle via @lisafordblog)
One of my favorite rappers of all time, DMX, shared his freestyle video on his Facebook, showing the world that in spite of the inner demons he's been battling throughout the years, that his is still the master lyricist that we all know him for. "I've been spitting for 20 years. It's not about believing, it's about loving what you do...It's about doing what you do with the pure enjoyment of knowing that you're the best at what you do." - DMX

Freddie Gibbs – Big Boss Rabbit (Official Video) via @lisafordblog
Freddie Gibbs, currently my favorite rapper, has never charted on the Hot 100 as lead or guest artist. In fact, he had no charting song ever, proving that charts can be misleading. Freddie is one of the biggest rappers out right now and his new single, Big Boss Rabbit is hitting. Big Boss Rabbit samples Nas’ You’re the Man produced by Large Professor. They way he flipped the legendary You’re the Man sample was perfect and his flow is at an all time high. Most musicians today don’t have one decent project while Gibbs has Pinãta, Bandana, Fetti and Alfredo under his belt. All four of which being incredible albums.…

RIP MF DOOM!! Fck 2020!!!
MF DOOM, the man behind the mask, is one of the best to ever do it. In honor of his birthday, I chose to post an incredible song and an ode to real Hip Hop, DOOMSDAY off of DOOM's much sought after album; "Operation: Doomsday". In regards to his collaboration with Clarks Original Shoe Collection, DOOM feels that it's a perfect partnership. When speaking about why he is so widely popular and on his rare form of creativity, MF Doom states, "I try to come out as original as I can, obviously. The mask and everything is just different. Nobody's ever tried that. Groundbreaking."

Beyoncé, Shatta Wale, Major Lazer – ALREADY (Official Video) from #BlackIsKing via @lisafordblog
I haven’t posted Beyonce’ in a while on this website, but damn the Queen killed it with her new film, Black Is King, playing on Disney+. The art, the colors, the costumes, the storyline, the African musicians, the dancer, everything is so perfect. The mixture of Hip Hop and African music was a gamechanger for me. And this video features the multi-talented Nigeran artist, Shatta Wale…an excellent collaboration choice. It’s just pure art. Every single scene, shot, moves is perfectly executed and has a big meaning. Beyonce’ took a crazy amount of time to perfect this and you can clearly see it. I love love love love it.

Just thought we’d show these young ladies some love during lockdown for #ThrowbackThursday, just in case you haven’t heard the song or saw the video for Feelin it by Blimes & Gab.
