    KENDRICK LAMAR’s New Album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ (Album Stream) !!

    March 16, 2015 /

    Kendrick Lamar has one of the sickest albums ever in #HipHop #ToPimpAButterfly. Hypetrak write, "Looks like Kendrick Lamar's sophomore album "To Pimp A Butterfly" has been released on iTunes and Spotify way earlier than its anticipated March 23 date. The reasons of the early release are not currently clear, but TDE honcho Anthony Tiffith seems to be unhappy about it and took to Twitter to blame Interscope for the apparent mess-up. The album features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, Ronald Isley, Rapsody, Thundercat,…

    KENDRICK LAMAR Freestyles to Notorious B.I.G. Classics! (VIDEO) & Album Cover Art via @lisafordblog

    March 13, 2015 /

    "Democrips and Rebloodicans. Sick Kenny, sick.," one youtuber wrote after viewing this video. A video that serves as proof that KENDRICK LAMAR defines Hip Hop through and through. And right now, Hip-Hop is blessed. Kendrick and Wale will come out with releases in the same month. It's good to see this happen with all the trash that's been killing Hip Hop last year. J Cole got that last second drop which pretty much announced real hip hop is back. Sean dropped last month. Kendrick's and…

Some people are saying that his fresh new track, "The Blacker The Berry", is about Kendrick calling out hypocrisy of black people. Others are saying it was about calling out white racism...hmmm you be the judge.

    SCHOOLBOY Q – “Gangsta & Soul” {Mixtape} #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog

    January 1, 2015 /

    SCHOOLBOY Q is a great rapper, pure and simple and raw sh*t that don't melt. "They Reminisce Over You" Freestyle? ... He bodied that sh*t. Q's mixtapes are too underrated. I'm sure most hip hop heads have "Gangsta & Soul" downloaded in their collection already, but I'm posting now for those who don't. I love the beginning of the song "Dead Rappers" , taken from 2pac's movie "Juice". Q's been going hard for a long ass time. His music gets me through the day. This…

    KENDRICK LAMAR Performs “Untitled” On The Colbert Report – New Music!! (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog

    December 17, 2014 /

    Let's all pray that KENDRICK LAMAR drops his album on Christmas without warning. That would be crazy! Artists like Kdot is why I consider Hip Hop to be the "master genre" of all genres. The pure poetry of it all. Words are so important, so incredibly amazing in rap, other genres just can't compare. Kendrick will be a legend up there with Biggie, Nas, Em, 2pac, Rakim, and the rest. Could even outshine them all in due time. His song, "Untitled" is amazing.
