They say when Black people want to get themselves together, they pack up and move to Atlanta. Maybe the atmosphere and energy of Atlanta is what was needed for the 95th Annual MLB All Star Game to rejuvenate the Black community’s interest in baseball. Not only as fans, but as coaches, managers, media and of course, the players. Let’s not act like the disinterest wasn’t manufactured, though. Whether you blame financial disparities, the crack epidemic, the character assassination of some of the game’s best Black ballers or the sudden corporate interest in Black-dominated sports i.e. football and basketball, Black people stopped showing up for…

“My Philosophy” is the lead single from By All Means Necessary, Boogie Down Productions second studio album. By All Means Necessary was released on May 31, 1988 on Jive Records. After the 1987 murder of DJ-producer Scott La Rock, KRS-One moved away from the violent themes that dominated his debut, Criminal Minded, and began writing socially conscious songs. Many themes, which surface a minimalist production accompanied by hard-hitting drum beats, cover social issues that include government and police corruption, safe sex, government involvement in the drug trade, and violence in the Hip Hop community. As of September 25, 1989, the album was certified gold in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. Both the…
Adult Contemporary Hip Hop is full of breath, space, and rhythm. Arrested Development sounds relaxed but locked in, energized without rushing. It’s the Atlanta outfit’s twelfth studio album, and rather than chasing trends or rehashing nostalgia, they settle into something self-defined: grown Hip Hop with a lived-in pulse. Speech, along with UK-producer Configa and a tight circle of collaborators, leans into crisp boom-bap drums, thick basslines, and jazzy accents. The result is direct, clean, and warm without falling into softness or sentimentality. The opener, “Let’s Get On With It,” sets the pace without overextending. A looping piano phrase hums beneath…
Clipse, the Virginia Beach duo of brothers Gene “Malice” Thornton and Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton, have long been a cornerstone of Hip Hop, known for their razor-sharp lyricism and vivid storytelling. Formed in the early 1990s, they broke through with their 2002 debut Lord Willin’, a critical and commercial hit powered by The Neptunes’ futuristic beats and the single “Grindin’.” Their 2006 follow-up, Hell Hath No Fury, is often hailed as a masterpiece, its stark production and intricate drug-trade narratives cementing their cult status. After a hiatus marked by Malice’s turn to faith-based music and Pusha T’s solo success, Clipse…
