Darryl "DMC" McDaniels is one of the pioneers of rap music. As a member of Run DMC, along with Rev. Run and Jam Master Jay, he helped the genre gain the mainstream attention it had been lacking in the early 80's.

These days McDaniels doesn't particularly like the attitude of today's rap stars and would rather hang out with rockers.

"Rappers are cool, but they're a little bit like divas," DMC told Artisan News Service during a recent interview. "I'd rather go with rockers because rockers are like, 'hey, what's up let's go jam.' You start asking a rapper to do something [and you get] 'you gotta speak to my manager, send me the check right now,'"

Jadakiss has big plans for the remainder of 2013. He sat down with Vibe recently to shed some light on a couple of forthcoming projects.

On who will be featured on his Top 5 Dead or Alive album

The L.O.X. is definitely on it. Jeezy, Wiz, Chris Brown… I got Weezy on there, too. The vintage Weezy, that mixtape killer Weezy. I got Rozay, but we may do another one. My son’s favorite artist is J. Cole, so I think I got to throw him on there. He loves A$AP Rocky, but it’ll probably be one of them.

On joint mixtape with Yo Gotti.

Me and Yo Gotti got a mixtape done. We might put it out commercially because it’s all original songs. We probably got to do 2-3 more joints, but that’s going shake sh*t up. That will probably come before my album drops. There’s no title yet but we got some heat rocks.

Are you looking forward to hearing the album and mixtape? What do you think of the album's features?
