If that’s what you’re here for then I don’t want to be with you.
Most single Black women feel like they don’t want… Continue

One of the most anticipated moments of Hot 97's Summer Jam concert on Sunday night was one that was unadvertised, though all the fans felt it was a foregone conclusion: the reunion of the New York rap giants the Diplomats.
Juelz Santana was on the bill with his first solo set, but instead of bringing out the members of his unit, he brought out the youngest member of the G-Unit, Lloyd Banks. They made for one of the strongest moments of the night with their… Continue
