I’ll give Kimberly a pass for even remotely suggesting that she’s ill enough to lay claim on Lyte’s crown. I won’t clown on her since this mixtape is mainly paying homage to prominent femcees (in between bitchfests). That said, Lyte is the numero uno among female MCs in my book, with L’Boogie running a close second.

Taken from the recently released Life Experiences, “Supa Woman” is Amanda Diva’s brand of self-aware itineration at its finest.

Styles P’s Super Gangster was super disappointing, but I fux with this Swizz beat.

Slick Rick brought his string of hip-hop hits and 300 gold chains to Houston’s Warehouse Live last night. A source of electrifying energy and inspiration, the 42-year old Rick treated the crowd of mostly hip-hop hippies© Rae to golden oldies like “Mona Lisa,” “Hey Young World,” and “Children’s Story.”
Willie D (of the Geto Boys) was in the audience, as was Bun B. To his credit, Bun shows up at 4 out of every 5 hip-hop concerts in H-Town. Dude is a true hometown hero.
Check out some exclusive pics from the concert after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
