    1. Yeah, it was a bit difficult with her talking about women being judged by their looks, when she happens to be looking extra stunning here – That’s not fair at all!!! Lol

  1. This man ain’t been making no hits. Get Dr. Dre or someone who is still making moves in the industry and are successful. Ice cube, rap producers etc.

  2. Katy has a great voice, I could listen to her talk all day. But I’m not married to her, so luckily that aint happenin.

  3. Many of you don’t know how Rakim revolutionized hip hop with his whole style. It’s hard to explain but he birthed a new era in rap where you had to start being lyrically savvy in order to get respect in the game. And he never sold out. That’s why the call him the god MC. #RakimGOAT

  4. Rapper needs to shut up and do something! Pontificating about people on social media need to step back? What about rap artists need to step back! Halloween is not for just kids! Check your history of Halloween, it may not be for kids!!!!!

  5. Erik B. was truly a verbal genius and conveyed the urban apocalypse that unfolded as a result of the crack epidemic. I’m from NYC as he is and yet I’d was completely unaware of what “New York City” he was referring to. The Bronx and Harlem were just vague conceptions, I lived in G.Village and didn’t know both worlds coexisted. These days I’m always impressed when those who have media access still hold themselves rationale and don’t go on a tirade about the unbelievably corrupt state the US has reached via Trump. As difficult as it is, “not responding” to Trump and addressing reality is the most effective route to riding the nation of his presence.
