WATCH KANYE WEST Meet With Donald Trump at Trump Towers (VIDEOS) via @lisafordblog
I've collected a few videos from Twitter for this blog post. E! News reports that Kanye met with Trump “to discuss a potential role for the rapper,” according to an unnamed source. They reportedly discussed West “becoming an ‘ambassador of sorts.’” E! News reports the source as saying “Trump is interested in getting West involved in an ‘entrepreneurial leadership role.’” E!’s source contradicts TMZ, saying that it was Trump’s camp who requested the meeting, not Kanye’s.

DJ KOOL HERC, LEGEND & FOUNDER OF #HIPHOP CO-SIGNS @LISAFORDBLOG
My entire life has been guided by the culture of HIP HOP. I'm admittedly a 90's Hip Hop geek obsessed with all facets of the artform from the bass-infused drum patterns to the hardcore storytelling, lyricism and poetry. SO much so that I've have dedicated my life to the empowerment of Independent Artists of all genres in South Florida by developing a weekly showcase titled the HIP HOP ORGY. I've been an Entertainment Reporter for over 15 years interviewing many legends in the industry including…

BJ The Chicago Kid ft. Joey Bada$$- “Nothing But Love” (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
"BJ The Chicago Kid unveiled the clip for "Nothin' But Love" today. The beat, with its twinkly keys and easy drums, evokes the '90s hip-hop that the guest MC Joey Bada$$ holds dear. Though the mixtape version of the song featured Hannibal Buress, he doesn't appear in the video. Look for BJ's album In My Mind early in 2016." - TheFader

FREDRO STARR Devours KEITH MURRAY In Diabolical Rap Battle! A Fight Nearly Ensues! (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
Before I get into this blog post, I must say that this is what Hip Hop needs...Diabolical Rap Battles featuring the latest and the greatest. Case in point...FREDRO STARR vs. KEITH MURRAY! AmbrosiaForHeads writes, "After more than a year of hype, promotion, and anticipation, Keith Murray and Fredro Starr finally battled. The October 4 battle at Brooklyn, New York’s Milk River saw the two 1990s major label stars from their crews (Def Squad and ONYX, respectively) square off in a crowded boxing ring. Perhaps symbolically,…

TUPAC Freestyling on the Streets of New York, Runs into Music Bootleggers (Rare VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
My mother says every time she checks out my blog she sees TUPAC! Yes Ma'am! And today's post is dedicated to this rap legend because Pac would have turned 44 today if he wasn't gunned down in Las Vegas over 18 years ago. Pac will always be a dominant feature on this blogspot because in my opinion, he is the #1 Pioneer of Hip Hop. Couple that with the fact that I'm still in mourning over his death. I will never get over 2pac because…

Joey BadA$$ – Trap Door [Prod. By Alchemist] #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
Happy New Year!! Let's kick things off with a throwback from an artist whom I believe deserve some all around praise for being a hardcore new-schooler...JOEY BADA$$. Every song Joey releases is on point and dope. The beat is f*cking unreal. I still don't get how Alchemist doesn't come up when we talk about the greatest producers of all time. And I really think more underground artists like Joey need to be recognized and underground music should be given more attention by the public eye,…

NAS “The Season” Produced by J Dilla (Snippet) #NewMusic #MusicMonday via @lisafordblog
NAS surprised fans at the Run The Jewels fan appreciation event by launching his new single, "The Season", produced by J Dilla...the best producer in Hip Hop history, in my opinion. This new track and collaboration are perfect and it gives me hope that Nas' new album will be something serious. The song starts at the 1:53 mark.

MOBB DEEP – “Back At You” (Music Video) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
In "Back At You", Havoc's and Prodigy's flow is very fluid, seamless, and interchangeable between the two. Lyrically, I will admit, Mobb Deep hadn't reached their peaks at this point, but they were very close. And lets not be ignorant. The video is raw as fuck! As far as the instrumental goes, can you really argue how elite it is in its simplicity? So in summation, with all those elements considered and combined, I feel that this is their best song ever.
