Salute the Legend - After 20 years of playing in the NBA, Kobe Bryant recently announced that he will hang up his jersey at the end of the 2015-2016 season. He's not leaving empty-handed. The Lakers shooting guard has five NBA championship rings, is a 17-time All-Star, has led the league in scoring twice and will be setting an NBA record for most seasons with the same team. Although his life is primarily dedicated to basketball, he's considered an icon in pop culture. Along with his athletic legacy, Kobe's personal life — from his almost-divorce to the 2003 sexual assault allegation — has been well documented in rap punchlines. We will be saying goodbye to the Black Mamba, but Kobe's influence lives through this list of 15 rap references. — Janice Llamoca (Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

The Sweet Jones Legacy Lives On - On December 4, the eighth anniversary of his death, Pimp C will have his sixth solo (third posthumous) album released via Mass Appeal Records. Long Live the Pimp features a slew of artists, a combination of new school and veterans — including Nas, T.I., Juicy J, Slim Thug, Ty Dolla $ign, David Banner, Devin the Dude and 8Ball & MJG — and rappers that credit Pimp C as their inspiration, Lil Wayne and A$AP Rocky. In fact, Rocky's track "Wavybone" was actually meant for Pimp C's project. Per Ms. Chinara Butler, Pimp's widow: “I wanted to put A$AP on the album. One night I was thinking, I like him. I just gotta figure out where I can place him. So I said, ‘Juicy, A$AP’s in California. I need you to go sit with him and play that song and see if he likes it.’ And when he heard it, he wanted it for his project.”Despite the high amount of guest verses, LLTP feels like a family affair. The album was spearheaded by Chinara, who’s worked closely with collaborator Juicy J and producer Mr. Lee to bring the album to life.Last night in NYC, Chinara and Mr. Lee played the project for a small group at Gibson Guitar studios from beginning to finish to hear the group’s reaction and share a little of how each single was put together. It was hard to ignore the mesmerizing blue color of the flowing Hpnotiq, but for the sake of our readers, we put together an attentive list of facts we learned from the album listening party. — Janice Llamoca(Photo: Mass Appeal Records)
