So it looks like Kanye and Jay aren’t the only artists looking at a Bruno Mars feature. Yesterday Royce revealed on Twitter that Mr. Mars and Slaughterhouse will be the lone features on his and Eminem’s upcoming Bad Meets Evil EP.

… is finally back after a winter hiatus today (April 30th). Per usual, the dopehouse will be in attendance (myself at the station, Shake running the chathouse down bottom), and also members of the NMC may be around so expect nothing but good music, shit-talking and special guests (maybe). Hell, I may be in the chathouse as well. Tune in today from 4pm-6pm EST (1pm-3pm PST).

We got a collage inspired visual from Jay himself back in 2009. Now, a couple years later OKP has unleashed a more official one. This is cool and all, but um… are we ever gonna get some new music?

Jay-Z, Kanye West and Beyonce spotted in Paris.

With H.A.M.over and done with, it looks like Jay and Ye have enlisted Beyonce and Bruno Mars for their next single off Watch the Throne. With Kanye and Jeff Bhasker handling the production, Lift Off is apparently set to hit iTunes sooner than later. Thoughts?

North Korean BBQ is for old souls. People 30+ (figuratively and literally.)

The title, however, is a reminder for me and all of us, that no matter how hard life can seem. We are all very fortunate people to live where we live. In Kansas City, when we get lonely or depressed, we go gorge ourselves on delicious, molasses-based BBQ. In North Korea, they don’t get lonely or depressed. They don’t choose feelings or thoughts. North Koreans don’t eat BBQ. They eat octopus skin and fried white corn. I was looking through audio clips from old North Korean documentaries to mix in with the music, but honestly, I felt like I was being lighthearted about their situation, which is greatly serious.

I must remind you of something, though: THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL PIECE OF MUSIC. NO!

This is NOT a political statement, but an examination on the self-entitlement we feel while bathing in our own excess and drama. I’m sorry your boyfriend broke up with you, but treasure the good times you did have. Bump this mixtape as a way to help push those negative, volatile emotions out, BUT…always remember that below the surface, life is truly a beautiful, pleasant work of art for some of us. Unfortunately it takes looking at other people’s situations to realize that sometimes.
