...become an American gangster, one of their female friends, or both. Popping bubbly, dressing lavishly (yes, Jay-Z does trade in his baggy jeans and oversized jersey for a rather nice suit in this video), and hanging out with an obviously elite crowd of bad asses that includes Diddy, Nas, Larry Johnson, and Mariah Carey. That seems more than appealing. And right when you feel as if nothing could be better, Hov proclaims, “Drinks is on the house!” Who wouldn’t want to be a part of the fun? The beat...

Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel join forces over producer Just Blaze’s sped-up sampling of the Isley Brothers’ “Between the Sheets” to rebut the haters who think that hip-hop is ruining America.

Her proposal, dubbed "NextGen," will cost an estimated $22 billion and will take until 2025 to fully implement. The proposal was crafted earlier this year by a task force that included representatives from the departments of Transportation, Defense, Homeland Security, Commerce, NASA, the White House, and aviation...
...remixes of minimal thug anthems, reggaeton offers exciting instrumentals and a beat that couldn’t be much easier to synchronize on the fly. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, as Marley Marl and Kool G. Rap handed the reins over to DJ Premier and Nas, rap entered what many call its “golden age,” wedding abstract lyricism to street-level relevance over complex beats. With the efforts of producers like Luny Tunes and artists like Calle 13 (whose new album “Residente O Visitante” dropped on Tuesday), reggaeton...
