Rhymefest Defends Kanye West

July 30, 2011 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

During Consequence’s “Campaign Of Terror” against Kanye West yesterday morning, he implied that out of Ye’s “brothers,” including Rhymefest, he’s the only one calling him out for wrongdoing. Fest then turned to his Twitter page to stick up for his big brother.

KANYE and I been speaking lately it interesting I see people who think he owes them stuff. I never understood letting another human have control over your success or failure in life. My brotherhood with Ye is based in the fact I don’t beg or expect more then his friendship good convo and the exchange of ideas. We bounce rhymes and music off each other and debate the world and its peace.


But as far as Kanye and his real homies notice that none of the guys he started with from Chicago talk shit about him. None of us. Chicago Cats understand playing your position and organizational structure. We know that every man is responsible for his/her actions.

1st Hip Hop Emails

July 29, 2011 JUKEBOXDC Staff Events, Videos No Comments  

Please sit down for this.

Ah man, we’ve come a long way baby. With MTV celebrating their 30th birthday on Monday, VH1 dug into their archives and dusted off a 17 year old clip of Yo! MTV Raps host Fab 5 Freddy, explaining email.

It’s easy to laugh now, but watching this in 2011 is almost surreal. Who would’ve thought technology would’ve come so far that you can send an email, or access the internet for that matter, via your telephone. If you were lucky enough to even afford a computer, it took forever to log onto the ‘net. For Christ sakes, take look at that laptop Freddy’s using.

Reason for Letter about Watch the Throne Release #WTT

July 29, 2011 JUKEBOXDC Staff Events No Comments  

Hundreds of independent record stores in the U.S. have signed a letter criticizing music superstars Jay-Z and Kanye West for signing exclusive release deals with iTunes and Best Buy for their Watch the Throne collaboration.

Music’s dynamic duo have agreed to make the release available to iTunes customers on Aug. 8, four days ahead of everyone else, while Best Buy will exclusively sell the deluxe album till Aug. 23.

The Alliance of Independent Media Stores released a letter Friday saying the deals are “bad news” and asks the singing duo to reconsider allowing more than 1,700 indie retailers equal access to the record release on the same day as iTunes and Best Buy.
