I would be shocked if its mostly for the streaming service since people outside of audiophiles love Beats headphones. I won't deny that it might be a bigger part of the sale than I initially gave it credit for but mostly? I don't

I know a lot of people don't like the quality of Beats but they are great for listening to hip hop and other bass heavy music. Still I am surprised by this Apple purchase. I would assume the tech would power their headphones for now on

I enjoyed reading this chart but I hope it doesn't reinforce the bias that some fans have that word complexity is the only way to tell if a rapper is good or not. There are several ways to judge the strength and weaknesses of a rapper.

The mob can definitely limit speech but the XKCD comics is right. The first amendment is about government infringement. The mob has the right to protest you just as much as you have the right to say what you want.

I used to work club security for 6 years and have done at least 12 wu tang or wu affiliate shows. I've also done radio interviews with several of them when I was a DJ in the late 90s. I never saw anything that would be considered intim

This goes in line with RZA and his thinking since the Wu's first arrival. A good example is Raekwons album Only built for Cuban linx. It was a released as a purple tape. Not the first colored tape to be released but it became special a

It's funny that while it seems like bowling has died out in the mainstream it has picked up really big in the hip hop community. Especially in the big cities. There are places where they even have a velvet rope to get into the bowling

He is right. For years market insiders considered MS a flat stock and no one wanted to recommend it. That has changed in the past 6 months and all of the sudden it has popped up on everyone's buy radar. I always thought the market was

I may be a little sensitive on this point since before becoming a programmer I made a living through the hip hop scene (DJ, security, etc...) but usually when someone makes a comment like that they are usually implying that the artist is a

Do people really look at Kanye West as a "gangsta" rapper? A small matter but I find it interesting that the makers of the coin who I assume are either fans or at the very least familiar with his music labeled him as such.

If you want to see this same event happen in real time in the next few years then look at the sneaker market. The same thing that happened with Comics and Baseball Cards is going to happen in the sneaker market. Nike and other sneaker compa

I don't care about the geopolitical implications of a group like this. I don't care what message it sends to other groups. All I care about is that it help those girls who attend the event. Why? Because I know movements like this

This is the most sensible post in this thread. A good example is the user rayiner being down voted for an opposing opinion down further in the thread. He has not trolled, he has just made an argument that people disagreed with and he is bei

This is the truth. I use to live in Louisiana outside of New Orleans for 4 years and it was very humid all of the time. But the past 5 years I have been living in Harlem and the humidity and heat feel a lot worse in NY even though as far as

It's kind of funny because for the most part I think Gruber proved the point of his article. BUT I think he also proved another point as well, that history is repeating itself and the IPhone might be in trouble. Not in trouble as in people

I was a big fan of DuckTales, Thundercats and a lot of the other cartoons of the time. As a military brat what would always amaze me is the different afternoon cartoons that would come on depending on what region of the country you were in.

If you read a book like "Lords of Finance" you get a good idea why the Keynes school of thought won out. Granted it focuses on the last big financial bust but when you read it you can see a lot of similarities to what happened recently. I r
