Nas & Travis Scott Discuss Rap & Relevance In The Latest Issue Of Playboy [PEEP]

New school and old school unite in the latest issue of Playboy.

Hip-hop icon Nas and modern day rap superstar Travis Scott sit down for an epic 1-on-1 conversation for Playboy. If you know the slightest thing about hip-hop, Nas and Scott are from two completely different generations, cities with different upbringings. During this interview it is amazing to see the bridging of respect from an older generation to the current new wave.

They speak on topics that range from rap to relevance, such as technology in the rap game, the differences in hip-hop across the generations, story telling through Politics, and more.

Throughout their conversation we are able to read about the many similarities and differences between both men as they openly shares differences in their recording process. This conversation is conducted with tons of humility as both simultaneously display respect and honor to one another.

Nas ends the conversation by offering some words to the younger generation saying, The hip-hop game is about staying and sustaining and keeping it going. You’re a great rapper, but they can’t just put you in a rapper box, because your music is going in so many different directions. You’re a rock star, and it always was like that.”

List Of 2019 GRAMMY Award Winners Of The Culture [PEEP]

All the stars aligned last night at the STAPLES Center for the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. There were a lot of major headlines for the culture in the record-breaking night as Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” became the first rap song to win “Song of the Year” and Cardi B became the first female to win “Best Rap Album” for ‘Invasion of Privacy’.

Aside from all that there were lit performances from Travis Scott, Cardi B, Post Malone, Ella Mai, and more. Drake delivered a very woke GRAMMY speech after picking up the award for “Best Rap Song.”

“Know we play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual-based sport. It is not the NBA… This is a business where sometimes it is up to a bunch of people that might not understand what a mixed race kid from Canada has to say… or a brother from Houston right there, my brother Travis. You’ve already won if you have people who are singing your songs word for word, if you are a hero in your hometown. If there is people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard-earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here, I promise you, you already won,” he said.

Check out the full list of winners from the culture below.

Uncle Murda Gives All The Highlights Of 2018 On His “Rap Up 2018” [LISTEN]

Uncle Murda took a page out of Mad Skillz book last year when he released his own version of the yearly “Rap Up.” The G-Unit rapper comes through with “Rap Up 2018,” which is a little more in-depth than Skillz and also very entertaining.

Over 9-minutes Murda gives his year-end recap with hilarious lines that float bar-for-bar. Rapping over a combination of soulful beats that were assembled by a combination of Great John, DJ Clue, Myles William, and Mister Neek.

Every bar on this track talks about the year that was, so it might be a lot to digest. It was a tumultuous year in hip-hop and this talks about the winners and losers. There’s some heavy smoke bars in there for MAGA supporter Kanye West, Young Buck, and even Dwight Howard.

All the beefs in 2018 are put under a microscope as well as Drake’s baby reveal, Lil Wayne and Birdman putting their beef aside, Juelz pulling up to the airport with a gun, Rondo smacking CP3, LeBron coming to the Lakers, Donald Dump’s BS, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s antics and imprionment, Nip’s “Victory Slap,” the losses of rappers, Bill Cosby, the Kardashians, and more.
