By Chandra Pitts, of iamthevillage.org (AllHipHop Opinion) WHO’S READY TO BE “THE SOMETHING” OUR YOUTH NEED?!? Yes. They’re killing our kids without justice. Incarcerating at a rate higher than anytime in history. The schools are failing our children. Generations are being lost to the violence of poverty. But WHAT ARE WE DOING?? First, we’re going […]
By Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur (AllHipHop Opinion) Oprah Winfrey is now a Cardi B fan. Think about that for a few. I, for one, ain’t mad. Other people – not so much. Cardi is a phenom that may soon be inescapable, regardless of your feelings. I like her a lot, in a large part because I […]
By Chandra G. Pitts (AllHipHop Rumors) Waking up this morning in our nation’s capital… I got here late last night with a splitting headache. I’ve been here many times before… marching for our lives. But this time looks very different. From the moment I walked in the packed hotel lobby… Very different. I’m inspired to […]
“The System Is The System.” (AllHipHop Opinion) I was half watching a show on Netflix. “Collateral” is the name. I really wasn’t into it, for whatever reason. Perhaps, my brain was still thinking about the unarmed Black man that was shot 20 times in his own backyard, because police officers thought his cellphone was a […]
(AllHipHop Opinion) Busta Rhymes is a gem in the flesh. He did not mince words when he talked about the overt efforts to gentrify Hip-Hop, the culture that was created by people of color in The Bronx. Some have proclaimed the sentiment was a rant, but nothing could be farther than the truth. Busta speaks […]
(AllHipHop Rumors) DJ Akademiks is guy that people love or hate ol’ boy. And Complex went from a magazine to a media monolith. But, what is the result? Nipsey Hussle is one of the realest in the music game and didn’t mince words when it was time to call Akademiks and Complex out. In a […]
(AllHipHop Opinion) So, the other day something dope happened. I was lured into checking out a new movie-or so I thought. But “Seven Seconds” ended, I was dying to see more. I soon realized its a series on Netflix. Wow. The series stars Regina King, Clare Hope-Ashitey, Russell Hornsby and a stellar cast of characters. […]
By Nola Haynes (AllHipHop Opinion) Black Panther is the crown jewel in recent Black cinema because it is a major, motion picture attached to the ultra-successful Marvel brand. Black Panther the superhero or T’Challa the king, is not merely the Black, pseudo-superhero sidekick, good for a one-liner every-so-often. Black Panther reminds audiences that Black people […]
What’s up Super Friends?!! I know you are probably thinking “Why is he writing about the Black Panther…isn’t he a DJ?”. Yes it is but I’m no ordinary DJ you mere mortals. I am NYC resident Superhero DJ, Jon Quick, of WBLS 107.5 (check me out on the Mix at Six w/Deja Vu – my […]
By Ashton Burrell (AllHipHop Opinion) As we begin a new week its a thought that is running through my mind. After scrolling through social media and seeing all of my fellow Eagles fans happy and excited a word came to my head. That word is proceed. You see even though I didn’t watch games this […]
(AllHipHop Opinion) T.I. has a strong opinion about Dr. Dre and rightfully show. He and his his good friend Dro go back and forth in a most hilarious way on who is the GOAT Rap Producer. I find this funny. I actually watched the whole thing. Tip makes a full appeal here so give it […]
By Chuck Creekmur (AllHipHop Opinion) The Philadelphia Eagles are my team. https://instagram.com/p/BetWs15Bl-X/ I have not watched the National Football League at all this year and I am a devoutiii fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. The Birds are going to the Super Bowl this year (the first time in 13 years), but I stand in solidarity […]
(AllHipHop Opinion) I remember being a child and always hearing adults say, “use your head man”. It kind of became that saying that let me know that I wasn’t being smart at all. Now that I’m older and I see certain things I say the same exact thing. Now days in the world there is […]
(AllHipHop Opinion) So many times in life we don’t maximize our opportunities. We can be in situations that people would kill for and we won’t take advantage of the situation at hand. Part of it could be a comfort zone or part of it could be us being ungrateful for what’s in front of us. […]
By Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur (AllHipHop Opinion) Dr. King. Oh how I love thee, dear brother, but things have changed. Nearly 50 years have passed since the day Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murderously assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. The murder was one of many overt and covert acts of terror against Black people […]
