10 Rappers We Wish Weren’t In Prison Well, it’s official: T.I. reported to the judge today to plead guilty to his weapons charges, and got formally sentenced to a year and a day (which could well end up being less when time served on house arrest gets taken into consideration).

Dick’s Top Ten Reasons Men Are Better Than Women 10. Men do not have Tourette Syndrome I believe all women suffer from a mild and extremely localized form of Tourette Syndrome. The afflicted organ?

What usually comes to your mind when you think of Hip-Hop? You may not want to admit it, but most of those idealisms are stereotypical views spawned by what many see on television. Many think of Hip-Hop as simply being violent, misogynistic and containing materialistic qualities that destroy our youth. To a certain degree I’m obliged to agree that some rappers maintain such qualities, and if it weren’t for the fact that I am not only a fan but a product of this Hip-Hop generation, I&...

The Semester In Scribe: Stop Snitching?

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Known as the black plague of Hip-Hop, snitching is easily known as one of the greatest offenses ever committed. With all the latest drama surrounding Alfamega and him possibly being a government informant, I thought that something so highly debated amongst the Hip-Hop Community would be perfect. For those who don’t know much about Alfamega. He is a rapper formerly of T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records. He was released when word spread that he was a government informant and snitched to get a...
