Today, The 45 King openly speaks about Jay Z and the hit single (he produced for Hova), “Hard Knock Life”. The 45 King also touches upon about the why reason (he believes) people call him Mark. In other words, those people don’t really know who 45 King really is. He tells us of his success, after putting Eminem on hold. He truly admits he holds great love and respect for Eminem, and thanks him for making the track a hit. This is a must hear interview. I advise all my readers to take a listen…you might just learn something.

Soulja Boy’s preparing to perform Saturday at the BET awards in Atlanta and has been active on Twitter asking his fans to vote for the song he should perform. Now just a day before the main event he’s making headlines for being arrested. Although it’s been kept under wraps, Soulja Boy was arrested Wednesday in Henry County, Georgia. He was on the set of Frenchie 1017 Brick Squad’s makeshift video shoot for “Gangsta Muzik” at a house in Mcdonough. (more…)

In the third part of HSK’s exclusive conversation with rapper Ras Kass, the lyricist uncovers the secrets behind the making of what he refers to as real albums. He also covers a spectrum of topics ranging from today’s Hip Hop fashion trends (indirectly targeting Kanye West, and how fellow rappers are following Kanye by not creating their own lane), to what he thinks are the pros and the cons of the Internet.

Ras gives it up, straight-up that he’d rather be identified as one of the players and hustlers, than to be called out as being a fag. This is a must listen, so I advise all my readers to pay close attention. Know why? Because you might just learn something. (more…)

Part 1 of 2 -For the first time since his release from the penitentiary, the REAL Rick Ross grants his first public interview to HSK. I don’t need to tell you this, but it’s a ginormous story which he shares.

During my 45-minute conversation with the legendary drug King Pin, he speaks openly about his past experiences in the drug game — racking-up $3-Million IN ONE DAY. Believe it or not, ‘Freeway Rick’ made the choice to spark his hustle for one reason, and that reason was to pay for lessons of his desired (and expensive) sport of tennis. Ross also opens the book on the CIA’s political involvement in the business of street narcotics. During his time behind bars, you’ll learn how Ross pulled off a Internet social networking site, from inside of the prison (kind of like a myspace for inmates). You’ll also hear from the horse’s mouth, how he didn’t make his ‘Match Point’ after his main drug connection was busted with 10-thousand kilos of blow, before turning into a state informant.

It was my pleasure to speak with legendary Hip Hop icon: The 45 King. We conversed about many other ground-breaking Hip-Hop artists which The 45 King made HITS for including Queen Latifah and Kurtis Blow.

If you’re interested (I was) to learn how one of Hip Hop’s premiere artists came up with the name “The 45 King”, I encourage all my readers to check this interview. Not only will you learn about the background of his stage name, but he’ll also share with you his experiences while working with “New Kids On The Block” as well as Pop’s diva – Madonna.

Part 2 of a 6 part series. Today  Ras speaks with Jacky about the value of the internet and he also speaks about the use of auto-tune and guess what? He doesn’t have a problem with it…

He also talks about the new dress code “Skinny jeans” and Ras is not down with the new fashion some choose to wear at all in other words he thinks it’s totally uncalled for… Especially when grown ass men are following today’s childish trends this is a good interview and I encourage all my readers to take a listen you might just learn something…

HSK was in the house for the DJ Quik, E-40 concert at the Ventura Theater in Ventura Ca on Saturday night. Let me start by saying the Ventura Theater is a great place to catch your favorite act!! It’s small with great sound and a historical setting. It kind of has that House of Blues feel to it. And guess what? They ain’t really checking for irb so bring your weed mane!! The other thing about this venue is it’s located near Oxnard… you know what that means…Lots of Latinas reppin’ the 805, and looking fine too!!(and to the sexy lady sittin’ next to me enjoying the show and smokin’ with me, leave a comment and I’ll get at you sweetheart!!)

Quik took the stage at an early 10pm. His set started with the group 2nd II None. They did some of their classic joints from back in the day. Then Quik took front and center stage and he did not disappoint. Playing a mix of his old school and new school tracks. Quik’s live shows always has great audio, know why? Because he actually does a SOUND CHECK mane!! Makes all the difference. Quik also performed with tons of energy, jumping into the crowd and on the speakers and shit like that. Quik’s body guards had a hard time keepin’ up with him. The crowd was feelin’ it too, rappin’ along and groovin’ to the beat. Quik’s set ended with him chillin’ in the crowd, and everyone on one!!

RAKIM: THE KING OF HIPHOP…. ON THE ROCKS!!!

I’d be thinking that Rakim was really great in his prime. However, its unfair to compare Jay-Z to Rakim. Rakim had generated alot of thought provoking and innovative material in his day. If he didnt do what he did (along with Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One and Kool G Rap)then there would be no Jay-Z or Nas.

Also, I’d be thinking that Dre dropped Rakim because Rakim didnt want to rap that same nonsense that 50, Eminem and the GAME rap about. Dre wouldnt have been satisfied with his sales numbers, either.

Who the f are you? Rakim is still cool in my book.
