Nanci O Is Hip Hop

“Spittin’ what I’m living, never lying in my lines”–Curren$y, “Top Of The Money” off Nesby Phips’ The Phipstape.

Is an artist’s image outside of music important to an artist’s career, or is it just the music?


This week on Where Is Hip Hop?, Randy and I use this post about Rick Ross on Randy’s blog combined with the somewhat known background story of Maybach Music’s Rick Ross being a corrections officer as a jump-off point.


Three classic albums deep into the game and Bawse has yet to headline his own tour. Yes Wale recently inked a deal with MM, but at this point can Bawse’s image ever recover from his previous work in the justice system?

We also touch on the brand of Young Jeezy and discuss what has happened to his image over the past 2 years. It was all good just a week ago.
