Kim Osorio's Blog

I know the inconsistency of this blog has some of you calling me lazy. Ha. My former intern, now the Hip Hop Culture Editor at globalgrind.com (big title now, ooh!) said that I was slippin’ because I hadn’t been updating my blog or doing too much in the industry. The first thing I did was laugh. But yes, he’s right. 

For the record, I was taking off some much needed family time, as well as ghostwriting a book for someone. I will fill you in on those details later. And I haven’t been totally asleep at the wheel, because I’ve been doing other things for work too. A couple of weeks ago, I got an exclusive interview with Chris Brown while he was reading to kids at Sisulu-Walker Charter School in Harlem. Now you know that they shut down any questions that weren’t related to his appearance there and his upcoming tour, but Chris seemed to want to talk about other things. Watch it and see.  Check out my interview with Chris Brown here.

I love these True Hip-Hop Stories that D-Nice is doing. When I was at the Source, I wanted to do a story on Special Ed and where he was now (or actually, then). Check this out.

You gotta love this.

I have to admit, Lil’ Kim is really doing a good job on this show. She gets the first ten of the season. It’d be great to see a hip-hop artist win.

In the latest case of “yes, i was” “No I wasn’t” a corrections officer saga, Rick Ross says it was him in the picture. This story gets better and better to me, and I have to admit that I will be waiting for Deeper Than Rap to come out, whereas i could give a flying hoot about a rick ross album one year ago. Good work, Bauwse!

Okay, so quietly, i’m like a super duper Mos Def fan. Very happy about his upcoming album.

I have to admit, that even though I am not big on Lil’ Wayne, I watch all of his interviews. My kids would be proud!

So I’m sure that everyone knows all about the incident in Detroit where two people ended up shot, one of which is (or is not) local Detroit rapper Trick Trick. Here is Jim Jones talking about it that night. Yesterday, Sony screened Jim’s upcoming documentary, which is being released in conjunction with his new album, Pray IV Reign on March 24. The plot thickens.
