22 years, the young Brooklyn rappers Talib Kweli and Mos Def (now Yasiin Bey) teamed up to release the classic debut album Mos Def And Talib Kweli Are Black Star. They still haven't followed it up. In recent years, Kweli and Bey have been working as a team again; they did a surprise reunion, for…
Kanye West has shared a new song, "DONDA," a tribute to his mother who passed away in 2007 at the age of 58. He posted it on his Twitter account last night on what would have been her birthday. The two-minute track is mostly made up of Donda West reciting the lyrics from…
This past weekend, Kanye West announced that he's running for president. This isn't the first time he's mentioned this, but West now says that he's attempting to win the office this year. This means he's running against his friend Donald Trump, a man who he was still enthusiastically supporting as recently as April. In an…
The Pusha T/Drake beef is still going strong! Apparently, on an unreleased song called "Paranoia" that was originally supposed to be on Pop Smoke's posthumous debut album, Pusha fired some more shots at Drake. "You know reality bites/ It's chess not checkers/ Those empty threats only sound good on your records/ If the patois is…
At the 2015 VMAs, seemingly on the fly, Kanye West announced plans to run for president in 2020. A lot has changed since then -- including Kanye loudly throwing his support behind Donald Trump's presidency -- but it seems he's back on the 2020 campaign train. Tonight, on Independence Day, he tweeted that he's running…
Ty Dolla $ign has often functioned as a human crossroads for various corners of the musical mainstream. On his new single, he brings many of those corners together for a superstar posse cut.
Kanye West has released a new song called "Wash Us In The Blood." It features Travis Scott and was mixed by Dr. Dre, which might mean that Dre produced his forthcoming album God's Country. Rumors of the album's existence started popping up last month. This specific track was mentioned in a GQ feature that was…
The awards show is changing. When you can't put dozens of celebrities in the same room for a live telecast, things don't work the same anymore. They look especially different when it comes to the BET Awards. Last night, the cable network aired its annual awards show, which was nothing like last year's show. When…
The Roots' annual Roots Picnic music festival is going virtual this year, and they've partnered with Michelle Obama and her When We All Vote organization to get fans registered to vote.

Back in 2018, Kanye West teamed up with longtime collaborator Kid Cudi to form a duo called Kids See Ghosts, and they released a self-titled album as part of West's Wyoming blitz of seven-song records. Kids See Ghosts are apparently not done, and they have moved into other realms. Today -- the same day that…
Kanye West's fixation on the Gap goes back a long way. On his 2004 debut album The College Dropout, he rapped about stealing from the clothing chain when he worked there as a teenager. In a 2015 interview with Zane Lowe, he expressed his interest in developing an affordable fashion line, aspiring to become "the…
Big Boi and longtime collaborator Sleepy Brown (best known for singing the hook on "The Way You Move") have a new joint album called The Big Sleepover on the way.

The last time we heard from righteous rap legends Public Enemy, things were not so righteous. Back in April, the group announced that their noisy split from longtime hypeman Flavor Flav was a hoax, and that it was all staged to promote the new album from Public Enemy offshoot Public Enemy Radio. That sucked! Nobody…
