It's Halloween which can only mean one thing and that's another edition to Westside Gunn's classic 'Hitler Wears Hermes' series!!! Though, technically, he stopped using the 'Hiter Wears Hermes' name on 'HWH 8: Side B' true fans of Westside Gunn know that '11' is part of the series!!! Gunn keeps the vibes flowing nicely on '11' with yet another dope project entirely produced by Denny Laflare and with Keisha Plum as the projects sole feature. The project also takes it back to the series origins with, the late, DJ Kay Slay's intro, from the first 'Hitler Wears Hermes', kick starting it and it only being 5 tracks!!! Adding to the fact Gunn's also dropping the prequel to the upcoming 'Flygod Is An Awesome God 3' project with 'Still Praying', that day after this release, and his upcoming 'Heels Have Eyes 3' event, with his 4th Rope promotion, its safe to say he's back on his bullsh...

Rhino's TNA 'Hall Of Fame' 2024 Induction (Full Video) 

Image
Prior to TNA Wrestling's recent 'Bound For Glory' 2024 event they hosted their 'Hall Of Fame' inductions ceremony where the company celebrate the talent, and backstage personnel, who have helped shaped the company over it's incredible 22 year lifespan!!!  This year the event was held in Detroit, Michigan, so it made sense for former World Heavyweight Champion, and hometown hero, 'The War Machine' himself Rhino to be inducted!!!  More fitting was his introduction by, ECW legend, Tommy Dreamer who Rhino battled many times in the land of Extreme!!! Rhino debuted in March 1995 (after being trained by Scott D'Amore) and worked as an enhancement talent for WCW throughout the year.  He also made a few appearances on WWF television, in the mid to late 90's, as well but again as an enhancement talent.  Rhino's biggest break came during his time in ECW, from 1999, where he became a 2-time World TV champion and the companies final World cham...

The Rise & Fall Of Craig Mack's Second Bad Boy Run: 2002 - 2005

Image
Craig Mack and Bad Boy Records have a pretty interesting history together.  As much as talking about Sean 'P. Diddy/Puff Daddy' Combs is understandably a negative subject nowadays it's extremely difficult to discuss Craig's career without mentioning Combs or his Bad Boy label.  Craig saw huge success, in 1994, with the release of the classic hit 'Flava In Ya Ear', taken from his debut album 'Project: Funk Da World', which helped put Bad Boy on the map however with the rise of The Notorious B.I.G, and other acts on the label, Craig found himself lost in the shuffle and pushed aside despite being the one who struck gold for them.  Craig eventually left the label and went on to release his second album 'Operation: Get Down', in 1997, to poor reviews and sales which saw him eventually disappear from the mainstream spotlight shortly after.  Though Craig failed to capture the magic of his Bad Boy debut he continued on the Underground Hip-Ho...
