Hip-hop duo Run the Jewels — whose 2014 album RTJ2 got a lot of love for 2014…
“No Flex Zone” was pivotal and now Rae Sremmurd sits atop the Rap Albums chart…
Holding steady at #2… J. Cole’s “Forest Hills Drive”
So far… So good for Fox’s new series “Empire”… The pilot… which aired last week… got things going with quite a bit of drama… Almost too much for one episode… But like most viewers… I’ll take it… Like a drug… make you come back for more… And by the way… that pilot caught the attention of 9.8 million viewers… Look… Cookie is bringing it and T. Howard as “Lucious” is literally sick in the head… Let’s see how this Hip Hop drama continues to unfold… The writers have to be careful cause they put a lot of story lines on the table in two episodes… Hope it makes sense all the way through…
50 Cent gotta tweet Taraji and give her some props for this… It’s not “Power”… but it’s interesting…

2 Chainz made his argument that legalizing pot across all states could reduce the overcrowding of prisons, and help smokers from blighting their lives with criminal records.
Nancy Grace will have none of it. Producers of the legal commentator’s HLN show convinced the rapper to take part in a televised showdown on marijuana. Here’s how it went down…
Business is going rather well for 50 Cent these days… A 78 Million dollar deal for underwear just about says it all… However… 50 is complaining… According to Billboard… The rap artist/actor has gone online talking about how promotions for Empire were similar to those for Power, the Starz network action series that is about to begin its second season. Jackson is an executive producer who also acts in the series, and he’ll be appearing more frequently in the second season.
After Jackson used his social media account to point out the similarities recently, Henson responded on Twitter: “I pay attention to $, not cents,” adding a peace sign emoji. Let the battle begin between actors and networks…
MC Shan brought life to the Hip Hop game and QB in the mid 80’s… But he never imagined that some dudes from the Bronx wanted to tell their story about where they come from…
You know this is Hip Hop so Shan had to respond…
Big up to Nas…. Because “Illmatic” reminded me of this and how much of an impact it had… And every battle has to come to an end… And BDP did just that…
J. Cole comes in at #2 with “Forest Hills Drive”
