The 16th anniversary of the day we lost one of Hip Hop's Greatest. R.I.P. The Notorious B.I.G.



Its crazy that I can still remember how I felt when I first heard the news that Biggie died. In fact, I remember watching the news coverage on Fox 5. It was sad then and remains sad now. B.I.G. is definitely one of great heros of our culture and on a yearly basis without fail, the hip hop community stops everything to pay him homage and remember the name. So I felt it fitting that I do the same. R.I.P. to The Notorious B.I.G. Enjoy the video and feel free to share any B.I.G. story you may have in the comment box below. ~alx.O

A$AP Rocky - "Long Live A$AP" - Decoded



I found this to be a pretty good watch. I feel like A.S.A.P. Rocky is definitely leaving his mark in the game. Especially since his album reached the #1 spot on billboards, all while still including records like "1 train"  which featured a barrage of new and underground rappers, including the newly announced #1 Hottest MC in the game, Kendrick Lamar. Thats right folks, I think rap is making a change bringing back some of that golden era flow mixed with some new era energy and A.S.A.P. Rocky is undoubtedly one of the leader of that change. ~alx.O
