Check It ... Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (Videos Pt 1 + 2)

Finally got some videos from the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival here for you guys. With so many amazing artists hitting the stage, as a blogger, I'd have to apologize for the quality of these videos. As a fan, I was so into the show that I missed some opportunities to get videos of a few others, but no apologies here. Haha. From L.A. to Eternia, from Random Axe to Kanye West, I was able to get some good footage for those who missed it or those who wanna relive that day. Check out the first part of videos and make sure you stay tuned to part 2 coming.

Friday's Five Random Questions with @TiyePhoenix

Tiye Phoenix is a dope emcee, who just happens to be a woman. A strong woman. I won't front and say that I've been following Tiye throughout the span of her career but since discovering her sound last year, I've been a fan of what she does. She's been featured on the blog a gang of times, with the likes of Eternia, Little Brother and on a few episodes of both The Mad Bloggers Show and Hip-Hop Breakfast. Her music, it's dope.

Until September, Tiye flew under the radar of a lot of folks, until her comments on Nicki Minaj on the the BET Documentary, My Mic Sounds Nice. I agreed with her words. Every word. Tiye doesn't hold her tongue. You'll see that below in the answers to her questions. With that said, Tiye decided to take the challenge this week. Check out how she answered five random questions, after the jump.

Check It ... @TiyePhoenix "48 Bars of Progression"

"I don't knock the sista, cause I'm sure there's a lot of pressure on her being the poster child for female rap in 2009 and 2010. But in terms of the preservation and continuation and expansion of the art form of Hip-Hop music and culture,  I can't see what she's creating when she goes into the studio." - Tiye Phoenix regarding Nicki Minaj


Tiye Phoenix is dope. END OF STORY! Sure, I recall her Nicki Minaj comments on the BET Documentary, My Mic Sounds Nice. As soon as she said it, I tweeted it. I knew she'd probably get some backlash over it. Fuck that backlash. It's her opinion, one I agree with by the way. But you know those Barbie's are a mean army. You know if you disagree with them, you can ONLY be a hater. Folks really need to expand their vocabulary. Anyway, I caught the track via KevinNottingham.com. It's dope! Enjoy.

Check It ... @TheRealEternia "The BBQ" (remix) featuring @JeanGrae @TiyePhoenix

I had a meeting and stepped away for a moment. I came back to my computer and had this joint waiting in the inbox. Gotdamn this just made my morning (and early afternoon). No dope female rappers? Caught up in that Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim drama? Later for that, because this joint from Eternia x Tiye Phoenix x Jean Grae is serious. Really, really serious. This jawn follows the already dope "THE BBQ" featuring Rah Digga and Rage, the lead single off the "AT LAST" limited edition vinyl, which oh by the way is available TODAY! Press play. Turn up the volume. Enjoy.

Music Monday - Little Brother Feat Tiye Phoenix "Too Late For Us"

I was vibin' to this song over the last few days and had to post it up for Music Monday! Slightly older track from Little Brother but a Little Brother track is always dope, so it doesn't matter. Enjoy and happy Monday!
