Imagine seeing Rakim at age 11 and thinking, “this dude is going to be somebody.”
@DJClarkKent is the illest.

Another classic blog era moment. I need to get @RubyHornet going again. Any young writers want to just have at it?
January 18, 2011. @FreddieGibbs headlining the Metro and spits this crazy acapella. It would later become his verse on "Scottie Pippen" an essential Blog Era hit and a @RubyHornet favorite. That RH Vimeo has some gems. Some motherf*cking gems. Enjoy this one. So dope.

"Everything about @BustaRhymes is the breathing fire of passion from my soul.”
from selling @StretchandBob tapes, tearing down stages, or bringing all the smoke on tracks - Busta is defined by passion. I talked to The Dragon about it for @audiomack.

What a great read t y for this amazing write up
.@fatjoe was rejected by 5 different labels before getting a deal. What he’s been able to do since is legendary. I gave him some flowers in my latest piece with the help of @diamondditc, @StatikSelekt, @BunBTrillOG, @Raekwon & @djEFN.

Part of a dope ass review of
“Flight of the Wig” by Stephen Kaplan for @RubyHornet
“For a rapper that’s this raw and this experienced, it’s ridiculous how slept on she is especially considering her mentor role in the scene in Chicago. Her newest album FLIGHT OF THE WIG is modern an angular, potently proud and simultaneously conscience.” rubyhornet.com/psalm-one-fli…
