Ras Kass is always pretty nice, but I wasn’t too sure if this was gonna be worth watching. After watching it, I need the Ras Kass tape, ADIDAS, that’s been out for a minute. I usually hate songs that are updated and re-made, but this was dope. Check it out.
Something for your next marathon. This has a nice feel to it. Look out for DZA’s George Kush Da Button, which is dropping on November 9th.
I’ve taken some time off from updating this blog for a minute. A man’s gotta get paid, right? During that time, ‘Ye released some heat. The first is titled “Lord, Lord, Lord”. I like it, with Mos Def and Raekwon, you can’t go wrong. The second is “So Appalled” featuring Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi The Prince. You might remember this song leaking not too long ago incomplete. Well, it is finished and much better now. Not sure what Swizz Beatz is on here for, he kinda ruins it. Luckily he’s not on the mic very long. I’ve been playing this song all week and I love it now. Admittedly, I was disappointed in it at first due to having high hopes for a Clipse x Hov collab. I expected crack, literally. Anyone else never hear of Cyhi The Price either? I don’t know where the he-double hockey sticks he came from but I think he had the best verse, with Jay closely behind. What do y’all think?
“HUUUHHHH!!!”
It’s coming….October 5th to be exact. Are you ready? Is he? I don’t know, but New York Hip-Hop is in his hands. He’s been the only rapper from the birthplace of rap to generate any buzz and keep it for more than a few months. After hearing him on multiple mixtapes and countless songs he’s about to release his first project to the masses. One thing I like about it…I haven’t seen a single yet. Funny thing to me is, they make a singles to sell the albums. I don’t buy the albums because of the damn singles. Ha.
Anyways, here’s one more reason to like Slime.
Black Milk’s Album of the Year came out today and hopefully you bought a copy for yourself. If you’ve heard it then you probably know that its one of the best releases in a while. Major props to Black Milk. My favorite song on the album is “Black & Brown” featuring Danny Brown. This dude is incredible. He’s got a different style and voice than the norm and leaves you waiting to hear what he’s gonna say next. That doesn’t happen too often these days, or at all. If you haven’t heard him yet, let this be your introduction.
“Sittin’ on some Kobe’s
Smoking on a stogie
Bangin Noreaga
When I’m done I light the bogie (what, what)
40 on the floor mat
Aaliyah holy moley
Banana in her tailpipe
Will make her Axel Foley
Eatin’ on perogies
Goose mixed with Sobe
Smokin’ on an OZ
Pimpin’ like an O.G.
If it never knew me, then you probably never know me
Blade on me, homie, mask on like Shinobi
Ball so hard, gotta MVP trophy
Smoke so much kush i forget the hoes that blow me
Thick white bitch, slurp a nigga like a Kirby
Hoes on a nigga and they all look thirsty
Say they 19 and they all look 30
Everyday clean y’all always dirty
Chronic coming in same bag as a turkey
Dark color purple and its tasting like Hershey…”
Danny Brown on “Black & Brown” from Black Milk’s Album Of The Year.
Listen to it here:
Also, off his album, The Hybrid, “The Nana Song”. Shot entirely in night-vision.
Get ready to hear a lot more of this dude.
Not really relevent but funny as hell though. Watch as Camron shows Cousin Bang, whose fresh out the bing, the new iPhone 4 app FaceTime. LOL @ Cam’s reaction at the end.
Not sure who this Killa Kyleon dude is…pardon me, I don’t stay up on EVERYTHING. This ish does go hard though. I’m kinda feeling this, how ‘bout you?
From the MTV Music Awards, Live. Can’t wait the album.
In other related news, Pusha T’s mixtape has been pushed back and will not be out on Tuesday the 14th. No word yet when it will be available, but you can best believe you will find it here when it’s released.
Also, on Friday ‘Ye continued the weekly trend of releasing one song. This time it’s called “Good Friday” featuring everyone from the roster. It’s kinda light compared to the last few leaks, but its still nice. Check it out.
It’s been a long weekend and I’ve been in a pissed off mood today. Whenever I’m feeling like this I usually put this on, put a ‘lil something in the air and vibe out. I’m not sure if its because after listening to his problems, mine really aren’t that bad. Or maybe it’s because I can relate to some of the situations, I don’t know. If your familiar with this mixtape series, then I apologize, nothing new here.
I remember when I first heard Joe Budden’s “Pump It Up” and was excited to hear more from him. I got my hands on his album through the net and boy was I disappointed. With the freestyle that DJ Clue used to pit Jay-Z against Buddens, I knew dude could spit. Seemed Def Jam was trying to force a certain type of music. That was probably the last I had heard his music for a couple of years.
Later on I stumbled onto his Mood Muzik 2 mixtape on the internet and people seemed pretty hype about it so I thought I’d check it out. First listen, I was really impressed. Over time, it has grown on me even more and I consider it one of my favorite projects ever, including albums.
With a chip on his shoulder, Joey goes in on all original beats. Don’t get it confused, this ain’t for the radio. It’s not for the clubs either. This is something to twist up and chill to. I can’t stress how super dope this ‘tape is enough. The lyrics are dope, plenty of punchlines and if you’re a fan of the New York hip-hop sound, this is for you. I suggest taking the time to really listening to this tape and the next one as well.
There is a Vol. 1 and 3 as well. The first, I never really liked. The third is nice. I just like the second better just because it was what really put me on to Joe Budden.
Late October is the last I heard. I’ll definitely let you all know when it drops. Until then, this’ll hold you down.
Just got my hands on this and am already listening to it. I’ve been waiting on this to drop for a while. It’s been way too long since Dirty Harriet. A few songs in and I’m noticing a trend. Digga is clowning and making her presence known. I’ve heard a few tracks prior to getting the whole project. If you’ve visited here before, you know how I feel. So far, so good. 10 songs, 33 minutes long…er, short. I wish there was more, but for how most albums go these days you get a bunch of filler, or bullshit, whatever you wanna call it. I haven’t heard one song so far that I don’t like. This ish bangs and the lyrics are dope, what more can you ask for? Classic? I don’t know, if it ain’t, it’s damn close. Definitely Speaker Worthy, cop it this coming Tuesday and support real rap.
Just got my hands on this. I’m not gonna post the leak here, get if for yourself if you can’t wait. I haven’t listened to it yet, but if it’s anything like the few leaks I’ve heard already, this’ll(I know that’s not a word, I’m saying though..) be one of the best this year. Hmm…maybe Album Of The Year. Check it out for yourself. I’ll let you know what I think tomorrow after it soaks in.
The wait is over. It was worth the wait. Get your copy now..Boi. Tracklist & link after the jump.

araabMuzik is crazy dope on the MPC. If you are witnessing his skills for the first time, you will be amazed. This wasn’t my first and I still am amazed. I am certainly looking forward to hearing what kind of concoction these two cook up. Until then, enjoy this.
I never really like a whole mixtape anymore unless it’s from one artist and not a collection of emcees. The case is the same for this as well but it does have its gems. I suggest grabbing this and deleting the B.S. that you don’t care for. There is a song called “Most Kings” by Jay-Z feat. Chris Martin that’s pretty nice. It was supposed to be on Kingdom Come but the never found the right beat. Nas went off on “Power, Paper & Pussy”. There’s also a few freestyles I liked that I never heard before. Check it out and let me know what your favorite song is. Link below.
I always enjoy AZ’s music, it’s what I feel like Jay and Nas’s ish should both sound like. Maybe its that he never reached his peak or achieved the same success as some of his peers. Maybe its that I have a hard time relating anymore to Jay-Z’s money or Nas’s…whatever it is he’s on. He doesn’t drop stuff on the regular like most of your favorite rappers and that’s okay. I’ll take quality over quantity any day. Check out the gem Sosa just let loose below. If you like it, look out for his re-release of Doe or Die on its 15th Anniversary, on October 10th. This song will be on the album.

I was perusing the internuts this morning and saw a new track from DJ Kayslay's newest mixtape. I always enjoy Redman on the mic and Uncle Murda is....always entertaining, to say the least. The two together on a song was not something I would have imagined, nor would I think they'd ever dream of the pairing either. Only Kayslay could have done something this bad. I couldn't even finish listening to this nightmare of a collab. So just to save you all some time (time is $$$, right?), I thought I'd forewarn y'all. It's moments like these that reminds me of why the South is still winning.

This has got to be one of the worst ideas EVER in Hip-Hop. Are 15 year old girls really gonna run and cop the re-released Cuban Linx 2: Gold Edition? Hell no. This has no benefit to Rae. I remember Raekwon talking shit on rappers in the game that went “pop”, this was something like 2001. His music might be dope but dudes a flake. This is, to me anyways, one of the biggest “sell-out’s” in a long time. Raekwon’s next big move---signing to Disney Records. Just kidding, but hey, it could happen.

How do you feel about this?
“The connect’s confidential, and the weed’s continental…”
For your wake and baker’s out there.
Rah. Digga. September. 14th. This album is gonna be fire. I can’t wait. FYI, do some neck stretching before you listen to this one. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya. Haha.

Side note: This is something I seen on Facebook yesterday.
“oh yeah that new "bottomz up" song with trey songs and nicki minaj goes hard! nicki spazzed on it. shes by far the best female rapper ever.”
The comments got worse. Other name thrown out: Foxy Brown, Shawna, Sole, Trina, Lil Kim & Marvelous.
Are you fucking kiddin’ me? Has these people ever heard of Digga or Jean Grae. I admit, Foxy Brown & Lil Kim paved the way and they were both dope in their own respect, but please don’t ever, ever (“forever, ever” *3 Stacks voice) mention best female rapper ever and Nicki Minaj in there until she has a few albums and sticks around for some years.
Beans talks about having a nationwide State Property and spits some bars. Smh. The freestyle is the highlight of the video. The best part, he isn’t dissing Jay-Z and sounds like he hasn’t missed a step. You already know this shit is hard. <pause>
