The move triggered a level of breathless excitement unseen since the great dynasty building signings of Rocafella and G-Unit a decade ago. It created a narrative familiar to […]

Another year, another star studded weekend at the NBA All Star game. Yeah, the East lost, but all in all it was entertaining to say the least. In case you were confused or unsure how to feel about the proceedings, the Hip Hop Community is here to provide their thoughts and feelings in regards to […]

Abe Beame wishes you a belated Happy Valentine’s Day. A few weeks ago, we explored the roots of Hip Hop Soul, the genre spawned from Puff Daddy’s experiments cross breeding Rap and R&B. While that post focused on the singing side of the equation, it’s time to pay respect to the elusive art of the […]

Abe Beame is really the sixth Winans brother. Admittedly, I took my eye off the ball when it comes to the wacky, wonderful world of R&B impresario Trey Songz. He took shots at the thrown when he dissed my boy (link: ), Rhythm and Blues superhero R.Kelly, talking out of both sides of his mouth. […]

Abe Beame still prefers street lights to all of the lights.  Let’s narrow it down to the last ten years. Plenty of rappers have dropped albums at the peak of their fame, but Kanye is the first to drop the “zenith” album, MAXIMIZING said fame. Right now, no one is not returning a phone call […]

Abe Beame is back. It’s been said that sorrow is nothing but worn out joy. If so, this is the thin line Brad Jordan that has walked for over a decade. Sadness is often overlooked in analysis’s of rap’s history. Granted, its becoming increasingly relevant in contemporary hip-hop, with frequent hang-wringing over the perils of […]
