1. Kanye West at Kanye Universe City–
Kanye West has never been one to hold his tongue, and on his blog he
lets it all out on a very regular basis. From complaining about
articles and award shows, to talking politics and more, this is a very
intimate look into Ye’s mind. Enter if you dare.

2. Lil Wayne’s Blog on ESPN Magazine.com–
Weezie waxes poetic on all things sports on his blog, which started in
October. Here, he gives his music fans a chance to see his thoughts
about the World Series, his homies in the NBA and more.

3. QuestLove’s Blog on Okayplayer.com–
The Roots afro-sporting drummer displays his humor and insight on his
Okayplayer blog. From random ramblings about his day, to posts about
musician’s that he’s deems worth of respect, QuestLove
always finds a way to be entertaining. Witty and down to earth, his
blog gives an intimate glimpse into his personality.

4. Devin the Dude at The Coughee Spot–
The Dude’s blog is full of love and lots of, um, smoke. Devin
mostly makes posts about himself and his music, but he also always
shows love to publications/sties that show him love (Rolling Out has
made an appearance on the blog).

5. Phonte on Gordon Gartrell Radio (Podcast)–
Listen to a Little Brother album and you’ll quickly find out that
Phonte could’ve easily dabbled in a career as a comedian. But on
Gordon Gartrell Radio he really lets loose—from rating the top 10
Lite Brites of all-time (light-skinned women) to giving his perspective
on politics and societal ills. Don’t listen to this at work
unless your boss doesn’t mind you laughing hysterically out loud.
