Who Clarified Jigga's 'Moment' the Best? 9th Wonder or Just Blaze?

9th Wonder & Buckshot Have 'The Formula'

9th Wonder and Buckshot have already released two videos from The Formula, which dropped yesterday, so it seems fitting to have their next video be for their single also entitled (what else?) "The Formula." This video features 3D animation of...

Buckshot & 9th Wonder 'Go All Out'

Buckshot and 9th Wonder's collaboration "Go All Out" from 9th's latest album, Wonder Years, seemed lackluster to me. Yes, 9th Wonder was able to capture the sound that usually accompanies Buckshot's rhyme flow, but the horns and the ladies singing the...

'Love Thirst" Leaves Jean Grae Wanting More
