Kevin Liles remains one of the most respected names in the music industry because of his ability  to constantly create success around himself and others.  Always the hustler, Liles even expanded into the reality TV world with such projects like The Michael Vick Project and Monica: Still Standing.
Yesterday, Liles was apart of a [...]]]></description>

I know, I know. This is likely the most cliche&#8217; post of all the Mother&#8217;s Day related propaganda you&#8217;ll see today. Especially with &#8220;Dear Mama&#8221; embedded. However, in my sole opinion, there isn&#8217;t a song out there that describes the bond between a mother and her child(ren) like this song. It is one of those [...]]]></description>

It never fails. I always manage to get the 25th and 26th mixed up with Eazy E&#8217;s passing. E was one of those intriguing, one-of-a-kind artists. He was a hustler, an icon and, if you listen to the right story, he was a snake too. He also openly used ghostwriters and was still accepted by [...]]]></description>

Time passes. People pass. But memories don&#8217;t. Like November 22 in politics or April 4 in civil rights, March 9 and September 13 are two dates which will forever live in infamy. It never fails to cause that same sense of pride and sadness each year. If you&#8217;re still living under a rock, March 9, [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Everything is worth it. The hard work, the times when you&#8217;re tired, the times where you`re a bit sad&#8230;in the end, it`s all worth it because it really makes me happy. There&#8217;s nothing better than loving what you do.&#8221;

As a rapper, one&#8217;s goal is to reach the proverbial mountaintop of their profession. Well, Lupe Fiasco did. Literally. Along with Kenna, Santigold, Jessica Biel and several others, the group braved the trip and found themselves at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa&#8217;s highest point and one of the largest mountains in the world.  The expedition [...]]]></description>

During the 1970&#8217;s, Title IX helped change the landscape of America culture for women in sports and education. For better or worse, the the law has done more good than bad. However, one aspect of society where its impact hasn&#8217;t been felt (and it wasn&#8217;t supposed to) is Hip-Hop. Clearly a male-dominated industry, there have [...]]]></description>
