In the latest issue of XXL Magazine, they do an ill feature on the making of Illmatic on the 15th anniversary of its release. One particular portion of the piece has former 3rd Bass frontman MC Serch talking about how the legendary Wild Style intro almost didn’t make it onto the album. The [...]
After I finished writing up my review of Emilio Rojas’ new mixtape Recession Proof (see below), I sent him over the link, as I usually do for artists I am reviewing, via Twitter. He responded with a quick message of thanks. That brief event got me thinking about how much closer I am to hip-hop [...]
My man Guy Fawkes posted a great concept: if blogs were represented by rappers, who would they be? Its a pretty cool idea and worth checking out for the great list of bloggers Fawkes put together. Apparently, YFWB is the rapper equivalent of this dude – one third of the Cunninlynguists. High praise from a [...]
Judging from the response to this post, its clear that hip-hop heads are looking for real opinion and thought. Unfortunately, some folks are afraid to drop their ideas on their website. You all need to man up and see how it’s done. But I’m not talking about me. If you’ve been online in the [...]
They say confession is good for the soul. Today we offer another installment of The Confessional, an ongoing feature on Your Favorite White Boy, where your man B-Double will be confessing certain things that he would not dare bring up in the company of his hip-hop brethren.

Now, I don’t really visit Nah Right to grab the same videos and music that will then be posted on hundreds of [...]
(Recreated from YFWB 1.0) My man Steve over at OGHipHop is in a funk, and I feel for him. In a recent post he laid it out for us:
“I’ve hit a slump. I wasn’t very excited about many things hip-hop for the past three months or so. I look forward to a Jay-Z leak [...]
As announced on his blog, Charles Hamilton will be dropping his first album, The Pink Lavalamp, on December 9th – the final step in what he has called “the Hamiltonization process”, which has seen the release of four separate mixtapes over the last few months.
With drops from Scarface, Common this year and Dr. Dre, Eminem, [...]
So, after I shot off prematurely (do I say “no homo”? “Pause”? Or “sorry, hun”?) in the last post about Charles Hamilton, it got me thinking.
