For more than three decades, the El Presidente has stood as one of the best measures of a person’s pratical pistol skills. Three silhouette targets are positioned one meter apart from each other and 10 meters from the shooter, who, with a holstered pistol and an extra magazine for reloading, turns, draws, fires two shots at each target, reloads and repeats. Shooting from the lip rather than the hip, Inglewood rapper, El Prez is on target with his new EP, The Daily Show . Download it here . Bang!
Dweeb: A synonym for geek or nerd, first used in the 1960s, recently became a part of the hip-hop lexicon when Jim Jones lambasted Nas for his protest of Fox news’ racist reporting outside of the network’s Manhattan offices. (Watch Nas here)
According to Jones:
“…We don’t wanna hear that bullshit you tryna kick, man. That propaganda shit. Fuck outta here. It’s 2008 and it’s a recession. Let’s talk about that. Let’s talk about getting back, finding out how we make some fuckin’ money in these fucked up times. (Watch Jim Jones here) More »

A lecture by Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, inspired J. B. Rhine to develop the field of parapscholgy and coin the term extrasensory perception. Synonymous with gut instinct, intuition and the sixth sense , ESP has become a collective term for various abilities including telepathy , clairvoyance, pre/retrocognition, mediumship and psychometry . And while ESP is not generally accepted by the scientific community, at least the rap community loves a good Bruce Willis flick .

Though it seems most Hip-Hop promotes ‘watered down’ anthems, we must remember Hip-Hop originated as social commentary. While CNN spotlights the likes of Rev. Al and Armstrong Williams, TROUBL spotlights modern day sociologists, Hip-Hop artists, in particular. Hip-Hop artists provide the social commentary that is on point and accessible to us. Weezy spits his social examination on The Carter III. More »

Most folks know T.I. as the multi-platinum rapper, actor, Grammy award winner and self-proclaimed King of the South. To others he’s T.I.P., the grand hustler, rubber band man, urban legend…and convicted felon. Since getting hemmed on multiple guns charges, Clifford Harris Jr. negotiated a plea bargain, which requires community service, talking to kids about the dangers of making the same mistakes he’s made. Watch Clifford chop it up with Touré on the BET News special, “T.I. Speaks” airing tonight at 7:30. My question: Is he the right messenger and should BET have provided him with this platform?
“What the f*ck is a Jay Electronica” is exactly the question I asked when I first heard the name. The first thing that popped in my mind was Jigga at a rave (imagine Hov with a glow stick. LOL). I listened, not knowing what to expect. And like a fiend’s first experience with dope, I was stuck.
Featured here once before, Jay is back with a new compilation of collected tracks. Download here…

It is often said that a leader should not be judged by how many followers he has, but rather by how many other leaders he inspires. Rising from the grave, Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s iconic spirit lives on through hip-hop artist Rhymefest…His new album, “El Che,” named after both of them (Rhymefest’s real name is Che also) pays homage to the late revolutionary… Click here to watch a video preview of the album.

Meet Jay Electronica. This is his first appearance here, but definitely not his last. Though his name (check the J, A, Y spelling) and lyrical skills can be compared to Jigga’s, his high voltage raps won’t get him the position of president any time soon. In fact, his raps are more likely to get the President to alert the CIA. Trust me, dude is dope. He’s what I call, “One of dem ones…” Click here to learn more and listen to his music.
