A lecture by Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, inspired J. B. Rhine to develop the field of parapscholgy and coin the term extrasensory perception. Synonymous with gut instinct, intuition and the sixth sense , ESP has become a collective term for various abilities including telepathy , clairvoyance, pre/retrocognition, mediumship and psychometry . And while ESP is not generally accepted by the scientific community, at least the rap community loves a good Bruce Willis flick .

Spotted at Lost and Found.

Three police officers killed one man, Sean Bell, and wounded two others, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield. From the night of this social atrocity to the not guilty verdict, emotions have been fierce. Sadness. Anger. Frustration. Disgust. Fear.

“What the f*ck is a Jay Electronica” is exactly the question I asked when I first heard the name. The first thing that popped in my mind was Jigga at a rave (imagine Hov with a glow stick. LOL). I listened, not knowing what to expect. And like a fiend’s first experience with dope, I was stuck.

Featured here once before, Jay is back with a new compilation of collected tracks. Download here…

When Kramer from Seinfeld uses the word nigger in his act can we blame N.W.A for dropping “Straight Outta Compton” in 1988? Should we blame the Jena 6 incident on the men who poured Old English all over the conceited women in Dr Dre’s “Nuttin but a G Thang” video? Did Ice-T’s “Cop Killer,” result in Rodney King getting his ass kicked? Chime in…

In Shi’a Islam, an Ayatollah’s job is to apply his understanding of divine law to practical situations. Granted to top Shi’a mujtahid, the title differs from “saint” in other religions because Ayatollahs are enlightened by the word of God rather than God himself. Enlightened by the sound of music, hip-hop producer Ayatollah applies his understanding of dope samples to show us that good music is also a religious experience.

I love to read, which is funny to say now because I used to hate books. It’s also funny because although I get through tons of books, I’m an incredibly slow reader (shouts out to my public school education). When friends or colleagues ask me what’s my favorite book, they’re usually surprised by my answer. “Illmatic by Nas,” I tell them. “But it’s not a book, it’s a rap album,” they respond, as if I’m on some dumb shit. That’s when I give them “the look,” thinking to myself, should I school ‘em up? More »

It is often said that a leader should not be judged by how many followers he has, but rather by how many other leaders he inspires. Rising from the grave, Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s iconic spirit lives on through hip-hop artist Rhymefest…His new album, “El Che,” named after both of them (Rhymefest’s real name is Che also) pays homage to the late revolutionary… Click here to watch a video preview of the album.

Meet Jay Electronica. This is his first appearance here, but definitely not his last. Though his name (check the J, A, Y spelling) and lyrical skills can be compared to Jigga’s, his high voltage raps won’t get him the position of president any time soon. In fact, his raps are more likely to get the President to alert the CIA. Trust me, dude is dope. He’s what I call, “One of dem ones…” Click here to learn more and listen to his music.

The recording industry is one of the only businesses that will paint its customers as crooks and then try to sell products back to them. Scared to acknowledges that its business model is broken, the industry is content on suing its way back to the profit margins it once experienced. More »
