I was dropping my wee one off at school a few mornings ago and the young man in the car in front of mine caught my attention.  He opened up the door and the music flooded out with him.  I didn’t recognize the song, but I did recognize the four letter words streaming loudly from […]

As more people are being laid off from their jobs, the economic crisis is on […]

I tend to think of the NYC absence in the Hip-Hop mainstream as our fault.  It’s like putting grandma in a home and never going to visit her.  You have heard all the stories.  You remember all the lessons and have applied them to your day to day. You don’t think there is anything else […]

Pacquiao Breaks De La Hoya’s Will to Fight   You’ve heard the sage boxing adage for decades now, that a good big man always beats a good little man. Well, lightweight titlist Manny Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs) is an all time great little man, and an unsuspecting Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) found […]

Someone finally did it.  Someone finally gave us a Punisher movie worth watching.  In a year that has already given us more than a few quality comic-book movies, Punisher: War Zone is an unexpected treat. After the horrible  Dolph Lundergren version and the PG-13 Thomas Jane vehicle, Punisher: War Zone feels like a shot of […]

Cadillac Records really could have solely been the life story of blues legend Muddy Waters; or of the feisty Etta James or even a whole depiction of the trials and tribulations of Little Walter. However, the film takes on the arduous task of including all of these artists and more while chronicling their rise to […]

The opinions expressed in this editorial do not necessarily reflect those of AllHipHop.com, its affiliates or employees.There are artists in Hip-Hop who have been able to negotiate the business side of the genre more deftly than they could a track.  While plenty of people will tell you that having business acumen is just as important […]

Paulie Malignaggi (25-2, 5 KOs) found his lack of power a fatal flaw this past Saturday November 22 in Las Vegas, as junior welterweight champ Ricky Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs) overwhelmed the Brooklynite to a merciful 11th round TKO. After a feel out first round where Malignaggi attempted to enact Mayweather’s successful counterpunch strategy from […]

Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.                              Michael Corleone – The Godfather, Part III   Just when you thought it was safe, I’m back. It’s Thanksgiving, it’s football, and we have some games to discuss. This year we have three games for our viewing pleasure. While the 12:30 PM and […]

The opinions expressed in this editorial do not necessarily reflect the position of AllHipHop.com or any of its employees The justice system in this country sucks ass.  We all know that.  There are plenty of times when the judge, jury and executioner don’t give a damn whether or not you’re guilty.  The jails are filled […]

Once again it’s on and popping. Welcome to another edition of Sick Sundays.  Before we get it in I have to give a tremendous rest in peace salute to MC Breed.  Before the Bone Thugs, And Twista and Kanye and Common, MC Breed represented the Midwest with aplomb, skill and dignity.Everybody remembers his duet with […]

Black Friday? Never did like that name. But I guess White Friday wouldn’t have the same punch in describing the day after Thanksgiving when people lose their minds while waiting in line to get at some ridonkulous sales. Hmm, kind of like those heads that stay on line waiting for the latest pair of limited […]

Hip-Hop is a revolution in thought and culture. When you think of the movement in that way, then you know it has been known to produce dramatic changes in society. It has also  spawned a plethora of trends that seep well into America’s main vein. Some of these fads aren’t so good for the lifeblood […]

You know, the tide is swaying and Hip-Hip has been charged with enacting change in its own community as well as the world at large. With that, I felt like I would help the Hip-Hop Generation continue to help by “going green.” If you ask Soulja Boy, “going green” might be the theme of his new album […]

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Sick Sundays.  It’s been a long week my dudes but once again it’s on.  A bunch of mixtapes dropped most notably Dedication 3.    Word on the street is it’s dripping with wack juice, except for the Young Money cats, but I’ll let you be the judge […]

Week 11 started with Brett Favre being Brett Favre. The Jets showed a lot of heart in their overtime win against the Patriots and Favre reminded us why he’s always in the argument for top five, dead or alive, when it comes to the “Greatest  QB” moniker.  What’s in store for this weekend, who knows? […]

The debate over negative lyrics and their impact on our communities has raged for years.  Are they glorifying the negative or simply speaking to their everyday existence?  I swear I’ve witnessed plenty of debates that swirled around this […]

The views expressed with in this editorial don’t necessarily reflect the views of AllHipHop.com or its staff.It seems that AllHipHop, via its Trick Trick interview has caused a bit of a stir.  It probably couldn’t have been timelier in light of the current war over proposition 8 and the fight for marital rights of homosexuals.

RING light-heavyweight champion Joe Calzaghe marked his second US trip with another huge win, this time dominating a faded Roy Jones, Jr this past Saturday (November 8) to a unanimous decision win. The expected early chess match of flurries was broken with 50 seconds left in the first round, as Jones badly stunned and dropped Calzaghe […]

On Wednesday, November 5, 2008, shortly after midnight, Senator Barack Obama addressed his nation for the first time as its soon to be 44th President.
