"Run This Town" Spoof.

Affion Crocket is a genius, and does one of the best Jay-Z impersonations ever. Classic. "Run This Town" becomes "Hunt Chris Brown." Enjoy.

Q-Tip - "Barely In Love" [LIVE]

The Abstract rocks a live performance on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. It must be nice to have the Roots back you. Yo, the best part of this video is homie from Bones sneaking a swig from his bottle on national TV. Peep intro. Classic.

Tupac Shakur: The Lost Footage

It's been 13 years since 2Pac died on the 13th day of September 1996, yet the void he left in hip-hop--let alone black culture--is gaping, For his anniversary, VIBE revives the fallen icon, if just for a couple minutes, with the first in a series of previously unreleased interview footage from May '96. As he discusses a unified rap nation and where he'd be in 2016, and in Part 2 he speaks on his issues with Biggie Smalls. Pac is everything we remember: Candid, passionate, prophetic. Rest in peace, Tupac Amaru Shakur.

Q-Tip x Biggie Smalls?

It almost happened. Tip tells the story about how he was thiiiiiiiis close to getting a track on Big's last album, Life After Death. Man, that would have been historic. R.I.P.

THROWBACK THURSDAYS

GOODIE MOB - "BLACK ICE"

Sky high!

I can't wait for this Goodie Mob reunion. Those dudes were originators. This is my favorite Goodie song of all time. Andre 3000 absolutely kills his verse.

"they steady move them keys like Bob James" (c) Andre

ARTIST OF THE WEEK: KRS-One & Buckshot

Please forgive me. This is a week late. I'm trying to play ketchup.

What can I say that hasn't already by said about KRS-One? Dude is a legend. He's the Teacher. And one hell of an interview. Buckshot is a legend in his own right. He's be a part of numerous classic records and along with Dru Ha started the infamous Duck Down Records. The two team up to dropa an album together called Survival Skills this upcoming Tuesday. It's gonna be pure hip-hop. You're probably gonna like it...but don't take my word for it, listen to KRS and Buck tell it...

[VIDEO] Del tha Funkee Homosapien & Tame One - "Flashback"

This is dope. Del and Tame One are teaming up for a new album together. I didn't know that. You probably didn't either, but that's why you come to us. Anyway, the album, Parallel Uni-Verses, will be out October 13th on Gold Dust. I imagine it's gonna be dope, but these cats are both on some other shit. In fact, I can't figure out who's more spaced out. Imagine the narcotics that were consumed making this album.

THROWBACK THURSDAYS.

We had to get some real professionals for the job, son.

Smif-N-Wessun x Raekwon = Classick. I remember when I first heard this joint back in 1998, I was blown away. Two of my favorite rap conglomerates, Boot Camp Clik and The mighty Wu-Tang Clan on the same track? Now that's what I call a good idea, son. Blazin through.
