Music Monday: Run DMC- Christmas in Hollis and Christmas is
These are two classic Christmas videos. What I love about the first one is that its one of the first Christmas Hip-Hop records period. It's dope that Lil Lep from New York City Breakers played an elf in the video. The second is cool because it shows Run DMC still around after 8 years doing the dayum thang. Definitely gotta give up props for that. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Diggy's version of Nas "Made You Look"
Aight, we all know that the original "Made You Look" by Nas
is a complete hood anthem/classic. Yes. You cannot topple the original. At the same time I said to myself, "Ok. I can't front on this kid." We all know that his father is Rev. Run 
from the famous Run DMC
and Run's House
....they of course broke countless bounds and barriers in their career. However, that does not always mean that this talent passes on to their offspring. Diggy is def not one to overlook. I heard his mixtape and I gotta say I was impressed...definitely witty, definitely has flow, and definitely has some good beats for his rhymes. I automatically thought, "wow, this kid has some REAL potential." I honestly, don't like to compare Jojo and Diggy. But I definitely will say Diggy is a lot more creativity in his rhyming...like I think he hears things musically a lot more, so that definitely helps his whole style stick out more. His remakes even got accolades by Kanye West
. We all know how much Kanye
criticizes things....so I guess if he says something good then you def at least have to take a gander. I really wonder how this kid is gonna develop. If he stays on the path he is now, and remains humble and keeps his eyes and ears open..I have no doubt that he will indeed be successful. Congrats to him on his deal with Atlantic Records!
