Laura Stylez is younger than most of her Hot 97 colleagues, but the smart California native is often the voice of reason and, as morning show host Cipha Sounds puts it, a “motherly” presence in the sometimes-chaotic offices that the biggest hip-hop radio station in the world calls home.

The on-camera confrontation between Shade 45 host Sway Calloway and notoriously emotional hip-hop superstar Kanye West became a viral sensation last fall. Kanye and Sway got into a heated exchange after Sway challenged Kanye’s assertion that the fashion industry wasn’t taking him seriously. While fans may have expected some type of fallout from the supposed “beef,” Sway explained to Complex magazine that there is no feud between he and West.
Kanye West went off on another tangent this week. The mercurial hip-hop star has become notorious for his outbursts during performances, and at the most recent stop on his Yeezus Tour, West unleashed yet another rant–this time, he aimed his wrath at two popular urban radio personalities. While performing at Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center, Kanye criticized Shade 45s Sway Calloway and “The Breakfast Club” star Charlemagne Tha God.
Big Daddy Kane is one of the most revered artists in hip-hop, but, in a recent interview with RO, Kane explained why he feels that change is necessary and why he switched up his approach on his latest project, The Las Supper, a joint venture with the live band Get Lifted. Despite the classic hip-hop ethos of “two-turntables and a microphone,” Kane says performing and recording with a live band has completely freed him creatively.
After it was reported that Run-D.M.C.’s Darryl “DMC” McDaniels dismissed artists like Jay Z and Lil Wayne as “not hot,” and stated that their fans are “brainwashed,” the self-proclaimed “King of Rock” decided to step forward and clarify his comments. According to AllHipHop’s Illseed, DMC has addressed the comments, offering to better explain what he was trying to convey.
Run-D.M.C.’s first performance in over ten years was at last year’s “Made In America” Festival, which was curated by hip-hop superstar Jay Z. But despite that connection, it looks like there may be no love between one member of hip-hop’s most legendary group and the rhymer from Brooklyn who is arguably the biggest star in the genre today.
