Much love to an icon. It’s mindblowing to think that it’s been nearly 18 years since Jam Master Jay was tragically murdered in his New York recording studio. The Run-DMC legend’s death has been the subject of speculation for almost two decades, but his impact, not only in hip hop but in his local communities, remains evident. Vince Bucci / Stringer / Getty Images Tuesday (January 21) marks what would have been Jason William Mizell’s 55th birthday, and it didn’t go unnoticed by those who were family, friends, and fans. His son, a DJ named Jason Mizell Jr., shared an image...

Probably the best reaction we’ve seen out of all the celebrities that got personal deliveries of Bey’s debut collection with adidas.

While Cardi B’s reaction was hilarious to say the least, we have to give it to Megan Thee Stallion for having the “most enthusiastic” reaction to this grandiose gift from King Bey. Twerking up a storm as Beyoncé’s 2003...

RTJ season is approaching. We’ve known for a couple months now that Run The Jewels are working on something hot, having teased since back in November that RTJ4 “is about 11 jams, it’s under 40 minutes and not a second is wasted.” El-P and Killer Mike also noted how they were simply waiting for some samples to be cleared on the album leading us to believe that the project will have everything the fans are looking for.

And it will be on public display! Kanye West can be difficult to comprehend at times, but his cultural impact is indisputable. His more confusing behavior is often explained as the byproduct of genius. Celebrity designer David Week’s new sculpture can be seen to capture the capriciousness of the legendary recording artist. Weeks has created a 5″5 sculpture that depicts four different faces of Kanye West, titled NSEWest (which is a play on North, South, East, West). In Week’s own words, the giant bust “ the range of emotions a creative goes through on a daily basis.” This ambitious year-long project actually marks Weeks’...
Is your favorite rapper guilty of this? When he’s not working on 20 songs a night for his next album, Tory Lanez is doing what every rapper from his generation is known for: flexing on Instagram! However, the Chixtape series emcee had to throw in a side of comedy to go with his latest IG stunt.
