Eskay Discusses Hip-Hop Marketing

April 28, 2011

When it comes to Hip-Hop sites/blogs, Nahright is the only one I check. It’s got pretty much everything I’d need to know about (sans ofwgkta) in one place and it’s easy to view. Go HERE for an interview with Eskay from Nahright regarding Hip-Hop marketing. It’s a pretty good read.

CLAMS CASINO — Instrumental Mixtape

CLAMS CASINO — Instrumental Mixtape

March 6, 2011

12 BEATS BY THE GENIUS PRODUCER OF LIL B’S “I’M GOD”, “I’M THE DEVIL”, “MOTIVATION”, AND “REALEST ALIVE”.

The live recording doesn’t sound so hot, but if you’ve ever watched live hip-hop then you know that live hip-hop is usually terrible, even when performed by the greats. From what I can [...]

A Conversation About Hip-Hop

A Conversation About Hip-Hop

January 6, 2009

The Fader just posted an interesting, yet not to long, conversation between The Faders deputy editor Eric Ducker and Eskay of Nah Right, discussing the lack of good hip-hop albums. I feel like there’s always talk of “the current state of hip-hop”, but I found this interesting because it seems like there is just a [...]

Nelly’s Typos

Nelly’s Typos

September 26, 2008

I love The Fader blog because it calls out exactly what they love and hate, usually with humor and in a very matter-of-fact manner, yet with eloquence.
