Happy Blessed Birthday to Clifford Smith Jr., better known by his stage name Method Man; born March 2, 1971

When Interviewed on his thoughts of Aaliyah, he said:

The word in the hood was, she had a cockeye. Cause she always wear them shades, yahmean? But the next album came out and it was like, Whoa, she killin it on some real warrior shit. I didn’t see anyone doing what she did. I mean, Britney Spears tried but I laughed at that fuckin video. It was hilarious, yo. I liked that song Britney bit, where Aaliyah had the snake [“We Need a Resolution”]. It was deep. Aaliyah was our pop princess. To be associated with R Kelly in any way at that point in time, that was street credibility. Some people just have that “it” factor, where it doesn’t matter where they’re at, they appeal to both sides. White kids adored her; that’s a hard bridge to cross right there, man, but she had a lot of talent. And when you meet the girl there’s a level of comfortability I can’t even describe. Her and a friend of mine were best friends, so we used to hang out. We went to Universal Studios [to a photo booth], you know those little corny sticker pictures? We used to go do stuff like that. I remember watching a home movie of her and her friends portraying the Spice Girls, that was kinda kooky. It was like being around your little sister. It wasn’t Aaliyah the big superstar. It was just Baby Girl. I’ve always said that a comedian ain’t funny to me if he try too hard to be funny. Same shit with sexy. Aaliyah didn’t have to try hard. She was a total package as far as singing, dancing and entertaining. She was killin all that, and it was a relief to find out she actually ain’t cockeyed. And her moms was mad peace but very stern, remind me of my bougie aunts and shit. Not bougie in a bad way, but you know, Nigga I ain’t havin it. -Method Man

Method Man was part of the Rap group Wu-Tang Clan.

DID YOU KNOW: Wu-Tang clan wanted to work with Aaliyah (who was at the time a high demand artist)? RZA wrote Gravel Pit for Aaliyah.

Get Rich or Die Tryin’ – 50 Cent

Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2003) is a defining moment in hip-hop, blending gritty street narratives with infectious hooks and polished production. 50 Cent’s debut album, backed by Dr. Dre and Eminem, features massive hits like In da Club, Many Men (Wish Death), and P.I.M.P., cementing his dominance in the rap game. His menacing delivery and melodic flow capture the hunger of an artist who fought his way to the top. A cultural landmark that remains one of the most successful and influential rap albums of all time.

Meet Damon X, the emerging addition to Yonkers' often-overlooked hip-hop narrative. "The Drive" marks Damon X's first release after his name change and featuring on Tanner Peterson's single, "Break the Spell." Inspired by car culture, Damon X employs a continuous double entendre on the word "drive." Boasting an increasingly urgent lyricism over a smooth beat, "The Drive" includes themes of competition and social justice to tell a story of the self-determination required to reach one's dreams.

Hailing from Yonkers, New York, Damon X is the latest in a surprisingly long line of hip-hop/R&B artists from the "Sixth Borough." Like fellow Yonkers artists (e.g. DMX, Mary J. Blige, and The LOX), Damon X couples his phenomenal songwriting, rapping, and singing skills with an inextinguishable drive to be recognized by the pinnacles of the music world. Some may describe this as a chip on his shoulder. Damon X prefers to see it as reflecting the essence of the city of Yonkers. Being the son of a former Miami DJ granted Damon X an upbringing constantly filled with an eclectic music collection. As a result, some of Damon X's first influences include the likes of Gil Scott Heron, Bob Marley, Erykah Badu, Joni Mitchell, and 2Pac.

However, as a young listener during the famous "Blog Era" of hip-hop, Damon X's first inspirations in rap were J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., and Kendrick Lamar. While many - to devalue the genre - enjoy distinguishing hip-hop and higher education, Damon X graduated from an Ivy League university. Staying true to his studies, Damon X brings a sociological lens to creating music. Much of his approach to songwriting focuses on themes such as race, class, life, death, love, and loss. To Damon X, the point is not just to make art; it's important to make art just.

Pray for Paris (2020) by Westside Gunn is a high-art blend of gritty boom-bap and luxurious street rap, dripping with opulence and raw storytelling. Featuring production from heavyweights like The Alchemist and DJ Premier, and guest spots from Tyler, the Creator and Freddie Gibbs, the album delivers a cinematic experience. Tracks like 327 and George Bondo showcase Gunn’s signature high-pitched flow over soulful, haunting beats. A modern classic that cements Griselda’s reign in underground hip-hop.

The Game’s The Documentary: A Gangster’s Diary Turns 20

It’s been 20 years since The Game dropped The Documentary, and it still hits like it did in 2005. Back then, I was reciting “How We Do” word for word and catching the video on MTV Jams every Sunday on the Week. The album felt like a gangster’s diary, raw and real, bringing West Coast rap back into the spotlight. Tracks like “Dreams” (Kanye’s production is unmatched), “How We Do,” “Like Father,…
