50 Cent & Dj Semtex Interview


50 CENT - THE BEST OF 2009 from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.


There is no doubt that 50 Cent is one of the hottest artists of the last decade. Recently, i caught up with him to reflect on the best/worst moments of 2009. We started on the best album, then we kinda got stuck on the ‘beef’ issue, specifically the Jay-z & Beans situation. I really wanted to get into this, but I ran out of time. What do you think is the situation with Fif and Game the same as Beans and Jay-z?

Graffiti tagger sentenced to 8 years in prison




$7300 worth of damage!? Are judges supposed to be that emotional? Hmmm, so this guy goes to jail for as long as some rapists and murderers? Justice will eventually be reigned down on the heads of these hypocritical authorities.


This is crazy and i felt it was worth posting. Its child molestors that get less sentencing than this 18 year old kid. Granted no one wants to come out & see their property tagged, but damn, 8 years!  A dope punishment could have been making him paint a mural of some kind or cleaning Graffiti around the city. Damn Texas always been known to give it to ya rough! 

Raekwon & CNN



Love to see kats in hip hop come together and get money. Big ups to 57th Ave.

Amazon Ships Wayne Album Early




Rebirth Album Amazon Sent Out Early

Amazon has definitely dropped the ball big time by shipping out copies of Lil Wayne’s highly anticipatedRebirth album. Amazon apparently shipped out the Rebirth album to a number of fans months before it was ever supposed to be released. I can only assume that this happened because of all the push-backs and confusion regarding the release date, however this is still unacceptable and its going to be a huge blow to Universal andCash Money.

Statik Selektah – Ignantwitted Interview



I met Statik Selektah at a Cormega event a while back and he agreed to do an interview a few weeks before he dropped his next project. Well, as fate would have it, I bumped into the DJ/Producer outside of SOB’s a week before the Pre-Game EP’s release date (12/15, that’s tomorrow).The DJ/Producer discusses everything from emo rap to female emcees, then reveals all the collaboration LP’s in the works. If you love this culture, prepare to get excited on some fanboy shit. Undeniably one of the best (and hardest-working) producers of our generation. – Rek

Souls of Mischief talks Hip Hop




SoulCulture caught up with Souls Of Mischief in London last month and the discussion turned to the frequently debated subject of The Greatest emcees Of All Time.
In this mini roundtable discussion, Opio and Phesto discuss the flaws of corporate lists – such as MTV’s – and the variety of factors one should consider when assessing The Greatest Of All Time, and Tajai insists (contrary to Baby’s recent comments, “How can you be the best if you don’t make the most money?”) that innovation is the most important factor. Then he puts it out there – “Name one thing Jay-Z or Lil Wayne brought to Hip Hop that’s new? …They brought nothing new to Hip Hop. Zero.” – before giving his own Top 10 G.O.A.T list.
