VIDEO: Machine Gun Kelly Drops "Til I Die Part 2!"

Surely, this collaboration of rappers had no issues with accompanying Machine Gun Kelly for this project. 

The black and white visual was nothing short of basic with hailing artists all the way from Memphis, Tennessee to Cleveland, Ohio.

While artist Bone Thugs and Harmony and MGK harmonize over some crazy guitar accents, MGK sets the tone for this informative track. If you didn't know who you were listening to before, now you know!

Southern Rapper, Yo Gotti set fire to the flame at the top of the track, while his Memphis swag accented his ad-libs.  

Of course the new generation had to uphold their title, and Coke Boy, French Montana definitely came through with his cypher scene surrounded by his affiliates.

Second to last, but not least Cleveland Native, Ray Cash held down the fort with his verse, and to close, the infamous MGK came in the clutch with a strong finish. 

I’d say that this is probably one of the biggest Cleveland collaborations in Hip-Hop. 

The Wild Boy, Machine Gun Kelly couldn’t have chosen a better group of artists to put together a masterpiece. 

If anyone knows good hip-hop they will know that it is an automatic hit anytime Bone Thugs, Ray Cash and MGK are on a track together—totally unfair! 

As if their bold lyrics aren’t enough, these artists will take you on a stroll throughout the trenches to show you exactly where they are from—East 1999 that is. 

Check out What All The Hype is About Here.

Bizzy Bone Responds to Results of Rolling Stones Top 100 List

You could imagine that artists would be pretty upset to find that their prized songs didn’t make it on the world’s most popular magazine, but not Bizzy Bone of legendary hip hop group Bone Thugs N Harmony!

Although The Ohio based group didn’t seem to make the cut for the Billboards Top 100 Hip Hop Songs, they surely didn’t allow this to upset them.

In an interview with hiphopdx.com, Bizzy Bone of the group states that it gave the group a “second wind,” basically giving them an opportunity to seek musical growth and expand their lyrical horizon. 

They’ve decided to create their own list of ways to maneuver into different paths of music inspired by Aerosmith, The Beatles, and many other rock and roll artists. 

The Billboard charts have definitely motivated Bizzy Bone and other members of the group to challenge their musicality and reach a crossroad within their musical career.

According to this interview, I wouldn’t suggest you tune out of listening to Bone Thugs N Harmony just yet, because it sounds like they have a lot in store!

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Hip Hop Pioneers Steer The Genre Back In The Right Direction With Their Performances At The Source360

If you're an avid Hip Hop fan, all your dreams would have come true on the evening of September 20 as The Source Magazine hosted their first annual Source360 concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The magazine racked up one hell of a roster as they recruited notable hip hop pioneers  like the Wu Tang Clan and Lil' Kim to grace the stage for a night of good ole fun—  and HipHopShortStop.com was front row and center taking it all in.
The streets of Brooklyn were greeted with sounds straight out of a stereo as notable group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony kicked things off to a great start being that they were the first act to reunite and hit the stage. The group put the crowd in just the right mood as they performed hits like "Crossroads" and "Notorious Thugs" featuring the late and great Biggie Smalls.

Following the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony set, the next group up held nothing back cause it's Dispet for life ya heard! The Diplomats members Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and Cam'ron did the crowd right after they tossed hit after hit after hit; you couldn't help but to sing along. Not only did the boys have the crowd going crazy , their chemistry and interactions were so strong that on-lookers couldn't help but to acknowledge them as brothers.

The Queen Bee was the life of the party as she showed the crowd that age nor a newborn baby girl was going to slow her down from letting you know that she has still got it going on. Lil' Kim knows how to put on a show as she performed her hit singles from her Junior Mafia Days all the way to her latest tracks off her Hardcore Mixtape. Kimmy Blanco is an entity on her own but she made her set even more memorable by bringing out a couple of celebrity guests on her set like rappers Maino, Havoc of Mobb Deep and Bobby Shmurda.

And finally the moment you've all been waiting for; the headliner of the show—  Wu Tang Clan. With this reunion performance, Wu proves that they're still boss. All living members of the clan were present and accounted for as they passed the mic off to their brothers spitting hard-hitting lyrics that ultimately made history in not only the hip hop genre but also in the music industry. The chemistry the guys possessed on stage put the crowd at a lost for words and instead focused on the group in a positive light as fans held their Wu Tang forever signs high up in the air for the rest of the night.

Watch all the Source360 action come alive here.
