Tetsuo & Youth 1/20/2015” The photo was a still from his music video “1234” back in 2013.

Iggy Azalea has been running hip-hop numerically for the last year with a platinum selling single and multiple grammy nominations. The hip-hop community now has really looked at Iggy and can see that she is building her career by stealing black musical sounds and using her white look to sell big to the masses. This is all fine but what people feel isn’t fine is the fact that she does nothing to actually give back to the hip-hop community. Some black hip-hop artists just aren’t standing for it anymore like Azealia Banks who called Iggy out many times over twitter. Other artist like Tyler, The Creator, Q-Tip, and Solange Knowles all defended Banks. Q-Tip had the best message to Iggy delivering it over twitter in the form of 40 tweets telling Iggy that Hip-Hop is “Fun” but it should never lose touch with its socio-political movement/culture at its roots.
At a recent show LL Cool J brought out Canibus having previously been enemies with him since 1997. The beef started when the two took shots at one another on LL’s crew track “4,3,2,1” with more diss tracks following that one. Though the beef has calmed over the years the relationship between them seemed like it would never be mended. This all changed when LL brought out Canibus to perform the very song that started the beef seventeen years ago while at Hot 97’s Christmas show last night. "I've had a lot of beefs in my life, but sometimes you gotta be bigger than that," LL said right before rocking the mic with Canibus. Feel free to watch the video below.

And of course you already know the raps will be smacking people all left and right. I’ve been working on it constantly. I dropped 'Lunch Money' to show how far out me and 'Ye are going to go, just sonically. Now, I feel like people don’t know where the hell I’m going to go on the next record. And that’s where I want them to be. 'Unorthodox' has become synonymous with Pusha T’s music, back to records like 'Grindin'.' Everybody’s gonna be really locked in and shocked to see how I’ve raised the level of musicality from My Name Is My Name to King Push." Keep it locked for more information on the project as it comes up.
