Someone needs to do a story on the Rhyme Syndicate. Think about it - Ice-T's former crew had a lot of cats down with it. A lot of important cats. Donald D. Nat the Cat (I want to do a remake of "While You've Been Waiting," if you're down with it). Toddy Tee. Divine Styler. The Spinmasters (ask Nelly about that beat). King Tee, who put on the 'Liks, who put on Xzibit. Cypress Hill's DJ ...

How come people still don't give Eazy-E his deserved props? Everyone gives mad love, props, respect to Big, 'Pac, and Pun (R.I.P. I'm sending y'all my love too), but forgets about Eazy. If it wasn't for that cat putting his drug loot towards starting Ruthless Records, we'd have never had an N.W.A. I...

All boundaries and classifications between different genres of music are now null and void. It is official. There is no more rock and roll, no more hip hop, no more soul, R&B, country, jazz, whatever. This is not up for debate, this is the truth....

I think I've figured out what the worst thing about rap music is: the pussies. You know those kids who just started getting into rap music last winter and are all "Dr. Octagon!" all day but have never heard of Schooly D? They wear those gay-ass raver fat pants and sideways baseball hats and think Pa...

I'm back in the T-Dot after a couple months in LA. Peace to everybody out there who I hooked up with (especially Cheapshot, good looking!). Back at home, I'm feeling a little sentimental about the heads in Canada putting it down, so this issue's B&R will be 100% Can-Con....

I'm writing this with two dollars to my name, minutes after smoking my last cigarette. Things are about to get pathetic. I'll probably start digging through ashtrays soon. At least I still have a beer left. It's times like these that bring back doing laundry in the bathtub and using dish-soap and st...

By the time you read this I'll probably be sleeping in a park somewhere in California. For real, I've had just about enough of Toronto, so I'm bouncing. If you pass by me somewhere, I'll most likely be broke, hungry and sober - so if you can, hook a honky up with a couple of cigarettes, a sandwich (...

Before we get started, I have to repeat: CDs are lame. Please don't send them to me, it's too much work. All right.
Spoon is the sickest rapper in the world. "Anti-Christ" is fucking nuts. Pick it up right now on Mary Joy Records or we'll have to fight next time we see each other. You know ...
