Gucci Mane is trying to end a troubling 2013 with something to mark down in the win column. To that end, I hope he doesn't use "Jackie Chan" as a single for his upcoming The State Vs. Radric Davis II: The Caged Bird Sings mixtape. Read More »
The adorable bromance between two of rap's most hardcore lyricists never stops being the best thing ever. Killer Mike and El-P (or, as they are collectively known, Run The Jewels) are the latest guests on Noisey's The People Vs... series. For those unfamiliar, the series takes artists and has them respond to YouTube comments on one of their videos. Read More »
