How ill is this cover? Reminds of the superhero campaign that Def Jam did back in ‘96. All the info you need to know here.
Other than Jay-Z’s Blue Magic promos, has there been a better video promo campaign than this Wu-Massacre project?
Stretch Armstrong reminisces in this interview about the creation of the “Stretch and Bobbito Show” that was a platform and pivotal breaking point for many up and coming MCs. Its crazy to hear him talk about how many unsigned people came to his show just to be “put on”. Enjoy. Spotted at NR.
PE, next to the Wu and Run DMC, is one the most important groups in hip-hop history. I know I am not going on any limb to true hip-hop heads but some people still don’t give PE their props. But props also go to In Living Color for not only finding Jennifer Lopez but always giving hip-hop its shine with dope performances at the end. This video even has a cool cameo in the beginning. Enjoy and reminisce. Plus, I apologize to Meaning of Dope. I’ve neglected your site for way too long. My bad, homies.
The homie and witty guru, TC, had an insightful interview with Ghostface about love, life and losing fans. For reals, when does Ghostface give a bad interview? His convo game is hilarious. Check the interview after the jump. Please support these good fellas by visiting TSS. They the truth.
With the BP3 really making its presence all over the hip-hop blogosphere, I think its only right that I give you the best videos and iinterviews I could find out there that go beyond the redundant, “this is my best album”, “I want to push music’s boundaries”, etc. After the jump are: Jay’s Interview with Bill Maher (video), The Magna Carter (UK Guardian Interview), His sitdown with Peter Rosenberg & Cipha Sounds (Audio), and Part 2 of his BET interview. Above is Part 1. If anything, watch the BET special so that you see Harry Allen’s (you should know who he is) questions make Stephen A. Smith look like Chris Farley in the SNL skit w/ Paul McCartney.

Bobbito completes the second half of his interview speaking about the Def Jam days. Some quality info – esp the part about the demo tapes. I also appreciated the Gasface memories!
I love it when people talk about my old plantation of a job. Bobbito speaks the truth, especially about Def Jam’s change in mentality in the 90s. Via NR. Random Note: Bobbito is one of the few hip-hop celebs that have commented on KTL. Proud, happy moment.
This song has grown on me. Might put it in the set tomorrow night. I’m not going to say anything about Blackout 2 b/c I don’t want to jinx it. But…. 
Mr. #11 on everyone’s top 10 MC list, Redman needs a little support form the KTL crew. Our favorite 1/2 Black, 1/2 Korean MC hasn’t had the strongest records the last few go rounds but his cameos and shows never disappoint. So I got for you some rare EPs, singles, and remixes. I was thinking of stringing these out for a whole week but “I can’t wait”….
