When Rakim shared that his definition of being an MC is being able to move the crowd on the 1987 track “Move the Crowd,” his revelation was spot on, and has been used as a barometer to separate the cream of the crop from the bottom of the barrel. While that rhyme was spat nearly three decades ago, almost thirty years later, those words still hold true. The ability for a rapper to control the crowd and have stage ...

For a city like New York fighting desperately for relevance in the internet era of constant content, he sounded like the aggress...

Azealia Banks started the week being rather effusive about Beyonce’s new album Lemonade dubbing it “what pop culture” needs. But the outspoken rapper has now had a change of heart.

Famed for voicing her forthright views on fellow artists, the 24-year-old has now called out Beyonce for hypocrisy, weakness, appropriation, and capitalism in a seemingly never-ending Twitter rant. Banks rebuked her visual album for being the "antithesis of feminism", arguing that it entrenches black sufferanc...
