Three of the biggest hip-hop stars will headline a major concert down under. Rappers Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole will headline the Rapture stadium tour in Australia next year.
There's no doubt hip-hop's major talents have big money in their wallets, but we don't always get to hear about their big hearts. Often cast in a showy light with the latest jewelry, foreign cars, clothes and eye candy by their side, their good deeds sometimes go unnoticed -- especially when arrests and beef are always grabbing headlines.
It's OK to admit it. They main reason you were excited about the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards was the cyphers. After hearing a few incendiary lines from Kendrick Lamar's cypher verse you knew you'd sit through the show eagerly awaiting his apparent shots at Drake and of course K-Dot did not disappoint
Hip-hop's biggest crews gathered for the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards, which aired on Tuesday (Oct. 15) night. The event, hosted by the Cali O.G. Snoop Lion -- a.k.a. Uncle Snoop -- is an annual celebration of the biggest and brightest stars in the rap game today and also tips a hat to the rappers of the past who have paved the way.
The 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards were light on actual award presentations, but we expected that. However, we did get quite a few highlights in the form of performances, with the much anticipated cyphers and the guests just being their usual colorful selves. We were pretty much promised some remarkable moments as soon as Meek Mill opened the show with his epic performance of 'Dreams & Nightmares' and 'Levels.'
The Yeezus tour has just become an "Award Tour." At least for lucky ticket holders in New York City it has. A Tribe Called Quest will join Kanye West in the New York tour stops at Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden. The legendary group consisting of Q-Tip Phife Dawg, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (and sometimes Jarobi) will alternate with Kendrick Lamar as a performer on those concerts.
While it was widely believed that Drake was the target of Kendrick Lamar's venomous rhymes in the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher, an alternative theory soon arose that K. Dot was actually firing back at Papoose for his 'Control' response.
Nothing was the same, including your friendships, Aubrey. After strong speculation, a clip from TDE's cypher at the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards last weekend has surfaced, proving that Kendrick Lamar does indeed take shots at Drizzy Drake.
You've heard the bangers he's produced for Kendrick Lamar, Dom Kennedy, and Schoolboy Q. But DJ Dahi has got a lot more where that came from.
Two members of the Black Hippy squad made their way to the set of the newly revived 'The Arsenio Hall Show' last night for a performance and a quick interview.
