Rhythm and Bullshit? The Slow Decline of R&B

Yeah, I'm nostalgic: When Mary J. Blige first uttered
the opening lines to "You Remind Me," it was about
making sure that hip-hop remembered that R&B came from

By: Hadji Williams

I’m not a big fan of boycotts. Why? Because with few exceptions, modern boycotts don’t work. Boycotts are inherently temporary: “I march until you listen… I do this until you do that…” Just as consumers have gotten smarter over the years, companies and governments are now savvy enough to call the bluff. They’ve realized that as long as they control whatever’s being... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mrdaveyd) http://politicalpalace.yuku.com/topic/4054 Mon, 27 Jun 2005 07:24:33 GMT http://politicalpalace.yuku.com/topic/4056/t/Poor-White-Boys-and-the-Future-of-Hip-Hop.html by charles chea

I wanna give a big shout out to Kanye West for stepping up and bringing some heat to the diamond jewelers of the world with the remix to his hit song ‘Diamonds are Forever’. In the original version, one wasn’t quite sure if Kanye was praising Roc-A-Fella records which uses the diamond as a symbol or if he was giving props to cats like Jacob the Jeweler where he brought his 50 thousand... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mrdaveyd) http://politicalpalace.yuku.com/topic/4050 Fri, 17 Jun 2005 07:36:52 GMT http://politicalpalace.yuku.com/topic/4062/t/The-Infamous-96-Westside-Radio-Interview-w-2Pac-on-Beefs.html Westside Radio Program

So last column we kicked off our countdown to the Top 10 Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All-Time. This of course was in response to the recent listings put out by MTV...

I started off with De La Soul’s ‘3 feet High and Rising’ followed by Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘Enter 36 Chamber’, and finishing off with Lauryn Hill’s ‘Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Now its time to unveil 7, 6 and 5…

A couple of weeks ago some of the good folks over at MTV set off a firestorm of sorts when they got together to discuss the Top 10 Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All-Time. With Hip Hop being over 30 years old and arguably the most influential music genre in the world and throughout history, this was a daunting task. After speaking with fellow music writers Shaheem Reid and Rahman Dukes I came to understand... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mrdaveyd) http://politicalpalace.yuku.com/topic/4064 Tue, 31 May 2005 07:51:49 GMT http://politicalpalace.yuku.com/topic/4066/t/The-Clear-Channeling-of-America-Whats-Wrong-w-Radio.html

MTV’s prank-based reality show Punk’d is one of the best in the business – its nothing shy of hilarious.

It all started last year when your humble hip-hop editor (that's me, Shaheem Reid) was discussing Biggie's first two albums with MTV News correspondent Sway.
