BIG's "10 Crack Commandments" @ Academy of American Poets in NYC
I'm sure there are many poets and scholars that would consider this blasphemy but on the flip side you'd have to be blind to ignore the overwhelming way in which Hip Hop has worked it's way into the fabric of America's expressive mediums. Holding Christopher Wallace as one of our times greatest poets, Adrien Brody recites the classic street instructional, 10 Crack Commandments.

I live out there, so don't go there
But that don't mean a nigga can't rest in the West

All I got is beef with those that violate me
I shall annihilate thee
But that don't mean a nigga can't rest in the West
See some nice breasts in the West
Smoke some nice sess in the West, y'all niggaz is a mess
Thinkin I'm gon stop, givin L.A. props
All I got is beef with those that violate me
I shall annihilate thee

JadaKiss Speaks on His Greatest Guest Verses
Kiss has been a part of some the greatest hip hop joints of the past 15 yrs. Spitting along side his fellow Yonkers partners, BIG, Jay-z, Big Pun and more builds quite a catalog. Jada gets down with VIBE to speak on the many features.
“I don’t think I always get the respect that I deserve,” says a matter-of-fact Jadakiss, who, of all things, is getting a haircut during a spirited interview. “This is the first time someone has ever done a tribute on me.” Indeed, Jason Phillips has had a long career of playing the role of your favorite MC’s MC. And yet as a founding member of the 1990’s Yonkers, New York rhyme trio The Lox, Jadakiss has experienced the kind of longstanding career that most artists would gladly exchange their souls on Robert Johnson’s crossroads for. The list of esteemed artists that the respected spitter has shared the booth with reads like a who’s who of legendary game-changing music luminaries: Notorious BIG, DMX, Mariah Carey, Big Pun, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, Lil Wayne. After nearly two decades of rewind-worthy verses, song-stealing cameos and stints as the people’s lyrical champion, Jada finally gets his close-up. This is Full Clip.—Keith Murphy
N.O.R.E. feat. Big Pun, Nature, Cam’ron, Jadakiss & Styles P “Banned From TV” (1998)
“When you talk about this song you have to start with Pun. He was my man. He used to always tell me that I was his favorite rapper. We used to kick it a lot and he had a lot of love for me. There will be no other. He was a priceless piece of work that was lost in this hip-hop game. We should never underrate him…never forget him. He was an incredible lyricist.
Having Swizz Beatz do the track for ‘Banned From TV’ was great. But you want to hear something crazy? My solo song ‘All For The Love’ on that first Lox album was Swizz’ first beat heard by the world. I rhymed on the first Swizz Beatz track! So I had a one-up on everybody on ‘Banned’ [laughs]. We already heard the beat in the studio before, so Styles and me new exactly how to approach the song. We had a special synergy. Me and Styles would do that back and forth rhyme style like Run-DMC and EPMD. We admired all the groups that had two MC’s. I think the first time we recorded in that style was on ‘Dope Money’ on that Ruff Ryders compilation album. We just kept it going.

Hip Hop Ain't Dead..... Part III: The Loss of Our Leaders
The Deaths of The Notorious B.I.G. & 2Pac: You can probably draw a direct line from the deaths of Biggie and 'Pac to the current state of Hip Hop. The two of them cultivated a style that even a decade later is re- and misappropriated to the nth degree. Perhaps if they were still alive, they'd have pushed the genre forward....
Biggie Smalls, 2 Pac, Eazy E, Aaliyah, Big Pun, Jam Master Jay, Big L.....the list goes on. Be it though direct mentoring or leadership for example, Hip Hop has lost many who could have played a vital role in directing the course of our music and culture.
