Royce Da 5’9 spoke with VladTV about the effect of Kendrick Lamar’s “King of New York” verse and artists responding to him for his bold lyrical claims.

Read moreR. Kelly Says The Inspiration For “Black Panties” Came Out Of The Sky [Video]
It’s practically a scientific fact that R. Kelly can belt out a song about anything (ask Rolling Stone). But when it came time to pen his twelfth studio effort Black Panties, all the 46-year-old singing sexpot had to do was look up. “I was on stage doing my Love Letter tour and I broke down into “Seems Like You’re Ready,” he recalled to VIBE during his recent album listening in New York. “So I start singing (the line) “Temperatures rising” and here come the panties. It was all different colors but then this one particular pair of panties—they were black and medium—landed on my mic and my wrist, and immediately I said, that’s a sign. I gotta go back and write a song called ‘Black Panties.’” Not that the man VIBE hailed the musical genius of the past 20 years needs much to boost the nation’s birthrate. His discography basically impregnates every individual it touches. When it comes to his daily regimen, his grocery list seems fit for a kindergartener but Kells says he has a specific entree in mind after he’s done the deed. Watch him reveal his ideal post-sex meal and the slow jam he had to beg Maxwell to take on above.

Read moreNas Says Snoop Changed The World With “Doggystyle” [Video]
Nas knows a thing or two about classic rap material. While strutting the red carpet for the Black Nativity premiere in Harlem last week, the Illmatic MC saluted Snoop Dogg for making “one of the best albums” with his 1993 debut Doggystyle, which hit its 20th anniversary this past weekend. “Snoop Dogg changed the world with Doggystyle,” Nas tells VIBE. “That was one of the biggest albums, the best albums in music that came out. He blasted the music game and bust it open. He made it bigger.” In 2011, the Queensbridge native also paid homage to the Doggfather, the BMI Urban Awards’ honoree of the night, by performing a special rendition of “The Next Episode” alongside Kurupt and Daz Dillinger. Watch Nasir hail the D-O-Double G above.
Read moreSnoop On Doggystyle: “I Was Just A Young Dusty Rapper” [Video]
Twenty years after his formal introduction Doggystyle, Snoop Dogg never considered his 1993 debut album, which has sold up to 5.5 million copies to date, a classic in-the-making. “I think it’s hard for young artists like myself to flash back and to hold on to something so great because that stuff is so hard to duplicate,” he recently told VIBE, “and I’ve never been one to wear the Doggystyle flag on my back or walk around with it because it was so unexpected. That’s why it was so great. No one expected that record to be great.” The 13-track offering (released via Suge Knight’s now-defunct Death Row Records), which boasts such street anthems as “Gin and Juice” and “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?,” initiated a streak of greatness Snoop now extends to not just music, but everything that wears a Dogg-tag. “After [Doggystyle], it was like can you do that again? and the hardest thing to do is to be great twice so what I tried to do was master greatness,” he continues. “I feel like over my career, I’ve mastered greatness so it was not about a great record. It’s about being great in any situation that I’m in or going to be in to represent me, my music, my life and my persona.” Watch him reflect on being “just a young, dusty rapper” in the full interview above.
