At the time Masta Ace created Masta Ace Incorporated it was purely based on financial reasons. I asked Brian Coleman, author of "Check the Technique: Vol 2”, whether this reason changed his opinion of what he thought of Masta Ace Incorporated:
"The stuff they were making was very dark, very murky. The SlaughtaHouse single is amazing. It's just so underrated because it is so over the top…people didn't get it…It was obviously a joke." Brian continued " I think it was a great move on Masta Ace's part because he's clearly since then gone back and forth…He just goes with just whatever he feels at the moment. I think that the group was great. I think that Slaughterhouse is as good, if not better then Take A Look Around which was a great record too. If anything it just increased his range to me and made me more impress. "

Kendrick Lamar’s comments in his Billboard magazine cover story may have caused quite a stir on Twitter, but it may have brought him a step closer to collaborating with Taylor Swift. In her own Billboard cover story, Swift gushed about how much of a fan she was of Lamar’s and now the Compton spitter has shown that the feeling is mutual.
In a video, the good kid talks about the possibility of him hopping in the studio with the “Shake It Off” singer after watching her spit “Backseat Freestyle” word for word and listening to her chat about her wishing she was his best friend.
“Talented artist. She’s passionate about her craft,” K. Dot said. “I think it’s this: when you put two people in the studio we all have to have the same type of passion in the music in order for it to be right. It gotta make sense. It’s not really just about the names. It’s about where we are sonically and creatively to push out the best music.”

(AllHipHop News) Grand Puba has renewed his partnership with Babygrande Records for the release of his upcoming The More Things Change album. The Brand Nubian founding member’s 5th solo LP is slated to hit stores this spring, and he plans to use the project as a platform to shed light on the proverb “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
“I have always felt that I am both an emcee and messenger for the people. Technology has ushered in the Information Age and its time for all people to use this age to right the wrongs of the past and set things up for a righteous future,” Puba tells AllHipHop.com.
The More Things Change will be the first official release from Grand Puba since 2009’s Retroactive. The politically conscious lyricist starts his Babygrande reunion off with the project’s title track. The jazz-influenced song narrates Puba’s views on police brutality, slave movies, stolen history, unifying the community, and Black pride. “The More Things Change” single features production by PhD and vocals from Isis.
“It saddens me to see a new generation experiencing the same social, political and economic challenges that every generation prior has faced. The world is watching everything from police brutality, to the failure of our judicial system, to Hollywood’s continuous inaccurate portrayal of our Egyptian ancestors. The world is watching,” adds the Hip Hop legend. “I am thrilled to be back with Babygrande to release my new album and to do my part as an emcee and as a messenger.”
