[Spoilers] Rap legend revealed on Masked Singer

Posted: 02 Feb 2020 08:49 PM PST

LIL WAYNE WAS THE ROBOT on the Masked Singer. One of the biggest swerves on the show's short history. Insanity!

He performed Lenny Kravitz's Are You Gonna Go My Way and it didn't seem like he was the worst performer of his group. Unfortunate he was voted off. Good to see Wayne doing other things.

[Discussion] Lil Wayne’s Rebirth (10 Years Later)

Posted: 02 Feb 2020 12:16 PM PST

On February 2, 2010, Lil Wayne made the decision to follow up the biggest album of his career and capitalize on the height of his superstardom by releasing what was arguably the worst album by a hip hop artists last decade. As a rap-rock mess that spawned unwanted hits like "Prom Queen" and "Knockout," Rebirth was the first step into the decline of Wayne's musical quality, and my god was it a big step. How did you guys feel about the album at the time and how do you feel about it now?

The Life and Career of Joe Budden, Hip-Hop's Dead Man Walking

Posted: 02 Feb 2020 06:36 AM PST

Joe Budden is one of the most fascinating people you can ever find in the celebrity world, and his entire life and career is a rabbit hole, he is likely one of the most well documented rappers or celebrity in general that exists anywhere on the entire internet for someone who is his age. There is at least a months worth, hundreds of hours of footage over the course of 15+ years that documents it on YouTube alone (some of it is reuploaded from pre-YouTube DVDs).

This is because Joe Budden was running his own reality vlog show before Love and Hip-Hop was even created as an idea, before Akademiks, before Vlad, before Charlamagne moved to New York, before everything. He ran one of the biggest hip-hop YouTube channels before YouTube even let you monetize videos called Joe Budden TV. You can see some of the remnants of it, just go to his current YouTube channels and sort the videos by Oldest First. You might be surprised to see how many years ago he got started. He maneuvered the Real Housewives/TV Reality era, making his mark in that world, then he caught the podcasting wave earlier than most, brought over the skills he got doing all those radio shows, vlogs, interviews, etc. and rode the hip-hop podcast wave to the top of the budding industry. Even with that success the dude does dozens of interviews around the country per year, bunny hops from one beef to the next with very little peacetime in between, and has always found a way to claw his way back into the spotlight.

When you put it in perspective, Joe's career and how he has handled himself, despite the lows, is really remarkable. Budden is one guy among an ocean-size bin of yesteryear rappers who had come-ups exactly like his. A few mixtapes and local shows got him a deal, and the deal got his name on the charts for a year with one or two hits, and the label funded a marketing campaign that came with the standard 15 minutes on TRL and 106 & Park. The difference with Budden is that somehow we're still here talking about him. The dozens of his peers who had similar come-ups in that era, those who debuted an album, single, or some musical catalogue that charted and sold just as well, if not better, than Budden's numbers in ~2004 -- very few of them are active or even still discussed today.

Yet because of the choices Budden made, the potential he saw before most other people in the power of the internet, and in Budden's willingness to extend himself and try different avenues even if they go on to be a flop for him, he has become a professional anomaly in hip-hop, a proverbial dead man walking in some ways, even using that to his advantage at times, and through all the right decisions at the right times, found a way to be an exception to the fall-off that the vast majority of rappers with catalogues like his have gone through, somehow turning a decent but forgettable club-track-turned-summer-hit song in 2004 into a roller coaster of a career that shot him off the rails, careening through the air for everyone to see, and then against all odds landing perfectly on the wheels of the cart and rolling to a stop at the top of the hip-hop podcast mountain, and looked at the crowd as if he had it all planned out all along.

He's an interesting guy to me, I can't say I am a fan or not a fan, I don't dislike him and do think he knows how to run a really entertaining podcast. However after you look into his history, all of his outbursts and walking out of interviews, conflicts and fights, abuse allegations, drug history, and even his biggest rants and debates on all his shows of the past, he really becomes like a human character study, and you could make an entire hobby out of studying his career and all its biggest moments, how he moved and waded the waters of the industry in calm andchoppy waters.

Depending on the surroundings, the tension in the room, or who it is that Budden is talking to, he will come off like someone who is severely flawed, socially disfunctional, melodramatic and ridiculous, emotionally unstable, rude, or just downright weird.... or he will be an entirely completely different person than that, he'll be calm cool collected, articulate, peaceful, funny and persuasive, calculated, agreeable, respectful. But the more you study the more sense it makes, and you can know exactly whats going to set the guy off and what isn't after awhile. Even then he seems to act unpredictable on occasion.

For anyone who just wants to go deep into a rabbit hole with 15 years of footage across hundreds of YouTube channels and videos.. and be confused, entertained, and fascinated... you definitely cannot find many better people on the internet to do so than Joe Budden, all respect to him.

r/HipHopHeads 10 Year Anniversary

Posted: 01 Feb 2020 09:05 AM PST

Today is the 10th anniversary of HipHopHeads. This subreddit was created on Feb 1, 2010. It's pretty crazy to think about how big it's grown since then.

I started using reddit in 2008/2009 right before the great Digg migration. When I joined, there was a subreddit for most of my interests, but the one thing reddit was lacking was a hip-hop community. I was reading hip-hop blogs and finding great new music to listen to everyday, so I thought to start a new community focused hip-hop subreddit and share some of it as I love hip-hop and online communities. I didn't really think long about the name HipHopHeads, it just flowed naturally off the keyboard, similar to how a verse flows naturally off Lil Wayne's membrane.

Thank you to all the mods who spend their time making HHH as best as can be. Also thank you for all the users who post, comment, and lurk here.

Now like Tribe said, keep it moving 2020 and beyond. 🚀

Please feel free to post your favorite memories of the past 10 years :)
