When Common didn’t drop “Ghetto Dreams,” his collaboration with Nas, on the day he said he was going to, Nas got a little impatient. Taking to Twitter, the seasoned rapper said, “I’m giving @common 15 minutes or I’m putting this shit out myself! #GhettoDreams.” Staying true to his word, Nas posted that sucker, forcing Common to finally release it officially on iTunes with an old buddy shot of the duo as the single’s cover art. We assume there’s no hard feelings, however, as the artwork for the single features an old buddy shot of the duo from the ’90s. As... read more

The best times are always better when you’ve got friends to share them with. That’s true of almost everything, and it’s doubly, triply true of hip-hop. There’s even a specific word for getting your crew together on a song in the rap world—the posse cut, where four or more rappers trade verses in a song. Now granted, DJ Khaled has made a living by clowning on this most respectable of traditions, but that hardly means that every other posse cut is all about shrieking “We the best!” For your consideration then: the eight best posse cuts that totally aren’t by... read more

Two heavyweights leave their egos at the door Read enough pre-release commentary, and you might begin to think that Distant Relatives, Nas and Damian Marley’s new collaborative album, is unprecedented, transformative, and revelatory—not because it features great music, but merely because it exists. And it’s not just Universal’s press kit doing the talking: During an on-stage discussion at the Grammy Museum last year, Nas and Marley made clear that this would be an entirely new and unique record. And last December, the National Geographic Society hosted a panel in D.C. about the diverse roots of hip-hop, with Relatives as the... read more
