From ‘Illmatic’ to the FCC: When Hip-Hop Hits the Headlines : The Rewind For March 27th

🎧 THE VIBE CHECK 🎧

Listen—not everything that slows you down is a setback. Sometimes, that pause? That detour? That delay? It’s protection. It’s preparation. We live in a world that glorifies the grind, the hustle, the fast-forward button—but some of the greatest blessings hit when you stop trying to rush the process.

You ever open a door and feel like something’s missing? That’s what happens when you force timing. But when you trust the rhythm of your life, when you lean into patience instead of panic—you start to realize, what’s meant for you won’t miss you.

 

 


G-Eazy Gets Personal On ‘Sound Check’: From Nas to Drake and a Voicemail From Mom

G-Eazy isn’t afraid to show emotion or allegiance. On HipHopDX’s rapid-fire “Sound Check” segment, the Oakland rapper navigates through a gauntlet of iconic hip hop matchups—and some personal demons. Choosing Kid Cudi’s “Day ‘N’ Nite” over T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” for its unmatched originality, he goes on to honor Nas’ “N.Y. State of Mind” as a gritty New York anthem that mirrors his current life.

The interview turns deeply personal when G-Eazy chooses “Opportunity Cost” over “Everything Will Be OK,” not for the lyrics—but for the voicemail from his late mother that closes out the song. That moment, captured just before he signed with RCA, left a permanent mark on his heart.

And yes, Drake makes a cameo in the story. When “God’s Plan” dropped, G-Eazy played it on loop and texted Drake: “This is the one.” The 6 God replied right away.

Dr. Phil Warns Kim Kardashian: ‘You Could Lose Custody If You Don’t Check Kanye Legally’

Dr. Phil isn’t mincing words—Kim Kardashian could be playing with fire if she doesn’t address Kanye West’s recent behavior in court. On the latest episode of the “2 Angry Men” podcast with Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos, Dr. Phil weighed in on the escalating tension between the exes. His concern? Kanye’s erratic actions—like inviting the controversial Tate brothers into a studio session with daughter North—might legally qualify as dangerous.

According to Dr. Phil, the courts don’t care how famous you are. If a parent knowingly puts their child in harm’s way—or even fails to prevent it—they risk losing custody. While Kim has been praised as a devoted mother, her refusal to take Kanye to court could backfire. Legal systems demand action, not PR-perfect parenting.

Kim’s dilemma is brutal: escalate things legally and possibly provoke Kanye further—or do nothing and risk it all.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Show Sparks FCC Complaints, Creative Genius Unleashed

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance continues to spark conversation—both love and outrage. Despite captivating 133.5 million viewers, 125 FCC complaints labeled the show “anti-American” and too obsessed with Drake. The complaints claimed Kendrick’s use of an all-Black cast was divisive, and some even falsely accused him of slandering Drake on live TV.

What those complaints miss is the artistry. A new YouTube documentary showcases the behind-the-scenes brilliance—featuring Kendrick rehearsing with Samuel L. Jackson as a theatrical Uncle Sam and preparing a backup plan in case of bad weather. One of the wildest moments? Modifying a rare 1987 Buick GNX to let 30 dancers explode out of it on cue.

Kendrick’s influence even reached the NBA, with the Atlanta Hawks recreating the performance mid-game—Uncle Sam and all. The fans? They sang every bar.

The haters might file complaints, but culture isn’t just watching—it’s responding.
