• P. Diddy Adds DMX as Special Guest for Second Night Bad Boy Show

    The one night only birthday celebration for the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G., sold out in record time so P. Diddy added a second date. He wants this night to be just as epic as the first, so he's tapped New York rapper DMX as a special guest performer.

  • Bad Boy Artists & Jay Z's One Night Concert for B.I.G's 44th Birthday

  • 6 Hip-Hop Song Sans Verses for AC: Tupac, Eminem, Kanye West and More

    Has your mother ever commented how much she enjoys the chorus to "See You Again" or "Monster," but that she really wishes Wiz Khalifa and Eminem (respectively) hadn't "ruined" the song with their raps? She's not the first. This week we found out that a revised version of the former song, featuring only Charlie Puth's hook, as well as new melodic verses in place of Khalifa's bars, has been on the rise at Adult Contemporary radio...occasionally known as "Adult Conservative." The only thing less likely to end up on AC than hip-hop is heavy metal, but as rappers frequently find themselves invited to guest on pop singles (such as Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar), labels sometimes edit the "offending" portion out, resulting in a safer, frequently less exciting product.

  • Faith Evans Planning Notorious B.I.G. Duets Album [WATCH]

    Faith Evans recently revealed that she is planning a duets album featuring her late husband, The Notorious B.I.G., aka Christopher Wallace. The pair last hooked up on the 2005 posthumous "The Final Chapter." Evans told HipHollywood that the project was inspired by Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole's 1991 effort "Unforgettable." It is tentatively titled "The King and I." "It's something I've been thinking about doing for many, many years," the singer told HipHollywood. "So I finally got all my ducks in a row to try and make it happen." As for what the album would contain, Evans offered this: "It is definitely unheard music. Unheard music in the presentation of it. That's what I will say." The project is still in its infancy, so there is not much to go on, but Evans does not specifically say there will be previously unreleased verses by Biggie on the album. If it is going to be in the same vein as "Unforgettable," then there will probably be edited remixes of Biggie tunes with Evans accompanying on vocals. "I'm just getting into actually working on it," she added. "It's going to be really, really dope." Fans can expect to hear some music from the project within the next year.
