I think that this is the one time when rappers became popular, not because their music was a better album or […]
DALLAS — The Cleveland Cavaliers got revenge on a Dallas team with a win of their own on Sunday. Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson were on the court for the final nine minutes as James got the last laugh, scoring a season-record 56 points as the Cavaliers beat the defending Western Conference champion Mavericks […]
Rap started around 1975. The first people to record a beat off it was Rakim. He’d be playing this instrument he had, some sort of instrument that you don’t understand, or you don’t know, and he’d just throw it down. He’d play that rhythm for a while. He also played in the group, his name […]
Nada. The most recent artist to make the list was Young Thug, who is 20. That was the age of Thug’s mother at the time. In comparison, Macklemore, 21, is the youngest hip-hop artist to make the list at 28. When was the last time there was an entire generation of hip-hop artists under 30? […]
A group of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh think they’ve figured out how to. They call their method a “brain-imaging approach” and claim it’s the largest evidence yet that the smartphone can be used to perform a full, non-trivial brain fingerprinting operation (a.k.a. brain-scanning.)

JAGUAR: (Breathing heavily) Oh god… ROBERT: (laughs) No. JAGUAR: (Shouts, laughing) […]
Who’s first? Who are the first people to say, “I’m Lil Uzi Vert”? And the first song you hear? Who’s the first one you hear that you just think “Wow! That’s amazing?” And how did that happen? It all started when we had a bunch of friends that were really into the same group of […]
Who are it’s biggest fans? It’s the hottest topic and controversy in today’s music world. Let’s find out. 1.) First things first: hip hop is not “hipster rap”. Like my friend says it doesn’t have any of those things, but it is definitely based in “feel in hip hop”. 2.) The label for hip hop […]
This is probably one of the dumbest questions we’ve ever heard about rap in a public setting. While most people probably know the answer to this question by now, we’ll let you decide. For starters, you don’t rap on an iPhone. It’s a bit of a stretch, but you know what isn’t a stretch? Trying […]
We had a song by a woman that was the first rap song on the radio. It wasn’t a rap song but I was listening to her lyrics. The first real rap song on the radio was “All About Us” by Little Richard’s Little Rascals. How many women did you have at the bar at […]
