It's an obvious pattern that's happening: - Magazine loses some readership/advertisers due to economy/internet - Mag starts compromising editorially to get more ad $$ - Mag loses more readership because of compromises - Mag has to co…

Word, I hear his shows are crazy, like mad energy...

I read somewhere he is the third biggest hip-hop touring artist, behind a couple of other guys

It really shows how Hip-Hop has changed... After a few years of them debuting, people were dissing Das EFX because their style was supposedly played out. But nowadays you have people saying Lil Wayne and Drake and everyone got "crazy flows…

Coincidentally enough, mere days after I mention this, it looks like the The Source have dropped their general manager and executive editor... http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/revolving_door/amy_andrieux_leaves_the_source_169338.asp?c=r…

I don't really know how something like the Source is still going... older heads know it's bullshit compared to what it was, and I'm pretty sure kids today don't even know what a magazine is

^^ Don't know if it's the same one, but I used to buy the UK version of MIX magazine, and it was JUST hardware, amazing magazine, at a time when a lot of people wanted to make dance music as well. It became part of Future Music I think, one of the o…

willie_fugal said:what about Drake being asked to rhyme off the dome, and having to resort to pre-written rhymes on his Blackberry (his thumbs were built for it) that he has trouble reciting? That's original NY freestyle style! Apart fr…

So we have some people who are like, everyone knows this buddy, and we have some people who say Kane is wrong and freestyles are always meant to be off the dome? I've been told that in Kool Moe Dee's book he says the same thing as Kane, that …

Nah, you get dudes who swear up and down that freestyling was all originally off the dome Have you seen the Freestyle documentary? That's pretty much 2 hours of guys saying that originally freestyle was off the dome, so I guess they're all wr…

I read a thing a while back that said most people only do about an hour's work in every 8 hour work day, the rest is internet, newspaper, talking to colleagues, snacking, etc Big fan of snacking myself
