I remember trying to write a P4k parody review of "Laffy Taffy," though I did actually like it a lot. I'll have to give this a listen when I get home.

When will people (people, aka Spike Lee, Little Brother, these bufoons) realize that ironically co-opting the imagery of minstrelsy to make a point is not funny or clever or satirical or anything they think it is, and is nothing but insulting to the intelligence of the people who consume it.

Questions end with question marks.

― The Reverend Rodney J. Greene (R. J. Greene), Monday, 8 January 2007 05:06 (eighteen years ago)

On a trip to Brooklyn, NY - one-time home of Jay-Z, now home to a lot of hipster art students - a friend and I were taken on a tour of a part of town that seemed to have been suddenly deserted in around 1999, leaving empty buildings and grass growing through the cracks in the road. Though I naively assumed this was probably down to the rise of mp3 blogs, our guide put us right: "Snap music did this," he said (really, he did), claiming that, in killing the last traces of hip hop, the nightmare genre had also done for his community.

― am0n (am0n), Monday, 8 January 2007 05:24 (eighteen years ago)

Riiiiiiiight.

― am0n (am0n), Monday, 8 January 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

People who hate on "Laffy Taffy" act like it's the only hip-hop song that came out in the last 14 months. And act like any snap artist broke in the last 14 months BESIDES D4L.

We apparently live in some snaptacular dystopia where kids with unspilled drinks walk around going "Oh, did Nas and Jay-Z put out new albums? I've been too busy listening to this here Trap Squad."

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 8 January 2007 08:12 (eighteen years ago)

well, Dem Franchize Boyz were at least as big or bigger than D4L, although I guess technically they broke more than 14 months ago. still, even without any platinum albums by artists that are categorically 'snap music,' you have to admit as a production aesthetic it's been pretty ubiquitous on the radio over the past year or two. anyway let's whip up some real arguments on here so that this thread isn't continually dwarfed by the "teenpop" thread like it was last year.

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:13 (eighteen years ago)

saying that they singlehandedly killed rap is giving them a bit too much credit obviously. and isn't this just a redux of the age-old "we must elevate the genre" complaint?

― am0n (am0n), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

never mind New York's own inferiority complex

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

Did you guys hear that Dem Franchize Boyz' new song "We Fuckin Up Hip Hop"?

(seriously - http://xxlmag.com/online/?p=6740)

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

"You have to admit as a production aesthetic it's been pretty ubiquitous on the radio over the past year or two."

Dem Franchise Boyz, D4L, a few Mr. Collipark productions (mainly in 04 and 05) and a stopgap Lil Jon single do not make ubiquitious. And if a hooting owl was the new hyphy, Lil Jon would have a track made with nothing but owls!

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 8 January 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

oh come on, chris, the sorta pared down snap thing was all over the radio this past year

― waterfalls of el-poppage (dubplatestyle), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

not that it had to feature snaps even!

yeah, when I said radio, I meant including R&B, of which there's been a ton of vaguley snap music-derived hits (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

also Chingy tried to jumpstart the hooting owl trend in 2004 with "Balla Baby," to no avail

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

so that new chamillionaire mixtape is pretty raw

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 8 January 2007 17:58 (eighteen years ago)

I'm weirded out by all the anti-snap hate because the argument seems to be that D4L and DFB are the new minstrels, which would imply that white people are listening to D4L or DFB en masse--but most white people I know hate the snap acts. But maybe I just hang out with lame white people.

― H.G. Monopoller (HGULTRUILLUM), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 03:03 (eighteen years ago)

Nathan Rabin's "Ten Overlooked Hip-Hop Classics" list is kind of silly in parts - InI are really boring, and in no way was Edan overlooked - and Rabin can be a total cornball (see his review of Tru's greatest hits or, uh, several of the blurbs in this article) but you have to respect his unwillingness to hop on the trendy album bandwagon - although i'm sure his ballot this year will include ghostface (he didnt vote in jackin pop that I could see) his ballot from last year seems to stay consistent w/ underground hip-hop regardless of crack rap fetishes or whatever, which is refreshing. Then there's this list, and you can't blame him for hitting the ghostface/clipse/deltron contingent with Alkoholics, J-Zone, Devin, Charizma or Count Bass D (probably the only one here who's, like, super-overlooked and has almost no fanbase to speak of).

that said i've never heard 'hip-hop for respect' or that lifesavas album but can't think of any reason why i really would want to.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

count bass d has a huge nerd rap fanbase

his first album is pretty good

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:46 (eighteen years ago)

you cant really claim shit is overlooked when your only exposure to it is a heavily marketed re-release in 2003

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i honestly don't know why anyone would want to read that list or consider most of it really 'overlooked' when stuff like Noz posting endless cassingle b-sides is already on the internet. (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

Tracks like "I'm Fuckin Up The Money" convey a social consciousness J-Zone pretty much abandoned on subsequent releases.

incidentally that is also the most obnoxiously lame song zone was ever involved with

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

wow so like every record but 2 of these is from the 00s?? seriously, im not posting killarmy mp3s on the jackin pop thread so this fool can act like edan or anything dropped on quannum is overlooked

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

Al well fuck there's no one but Noz posting cassingle b-sides, of course everything is overlooked compared to that.

And yes I know that for people who actually follow rap none of these dudes are overlooked but i'm assuming we're talking about the onion's regular readers here, who might have heard Devin and Edan but beyond that they're still rocking Deltron and Prince Paul's last album of skits.

Oh here's rabin's list:

Nathan Rabin
1. Ghostface Killah, Fishscale (Def Jam)

2. Rhymefest, Blue Collar (J)

3. Lupe Fiasco, Food & Liquor (Atlantic)

4. The Coup, Pick A Bigger Weapon (Epitaph)

5. Pigeon John, And The Summertime Pool Party (Quannum)

6. Georgia Ann Muldrow, Olesi: Fragments Of Earth (Stones Throw) Stones Throw chanteuse Georgia Ann Muldrow released a lushly organic debut of hypnotic soul, wiggy jazz, and blunted soundscapes that was inexplicably ignored by critics and fans alike.

7. The Roots, Game Theory (Def Jam)

8. John Legend, Once Again (Good)

9. Lupe Fiasco, Touch The Sky Mixtape (Mixunit)

The year's best mix-tape.

10. Snoop Dogg, Blue Carpet Treatment (Geffen)

Call it a comeback: Blue Carpet is Snoop's best album since 1999's underrated No Limit Top Dog.

11. RJD2 and Aceyalone, Magnificent City (Decon)

12. Bubba Sparxxx, The Charm (Purple Ribbon)

13. Mr. Lif, Mo Mega (Definitive Jux)

14. Busta Rhymes, The Big Bang (Aftermath)

15. J-Dilla, Donuts/The Shining (Stones Throw/BBE)

Beloved producer Jay Dee went out on a high note with the revelatory beat odyssey Donuts and the stellar, star-studded production showcase The Shining, in addition to landing beats on huge releases from Ghostface Killah and Busta Rhymes.

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:51 (eighteen years ago)

as for count bass d's huge rap fanbase...really??

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

in his defense that charizma album did kinda drop at the wrong time, i remember hiphop connections entire review was devoted to clowning it in favor of their new obsession with shitty 04-era lil flip

xpost damn that list is weird - bubba sparxxx?? really??? must be residual whiteboy cred from deliverance cuz i dont see rabin on the mr collipark BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN ERRRRYWHERE steez

well i dunno from experience but ex-g&w/ilx poster mia trill was a member of count bass d's official msgboard in h.s. and apparently it was well-stocked even then

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

haha in that case i retract my statement
i don't mean to be captain save-a-Rabin or anything, but this does vary from the usual rap lists so I figured it was interesting

― deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

hilarious story about when bass d put on some local tennessee cat on his record and the nerd rap stans on the msgboard got all bitchy cuz dude was more scarface than another alt-rap goofball

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i dunno i love folks who still keep the rawkus torch on burn but this cat is pretty herbish & seems to only fuck with rap when iit features white dudes, goofy black weirdos, or left-wing politickin

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

Man, guys, its just a list of stuff that he likes. It's not purporting to be some definitive overview, like repping, Original Concept and Cash Money And Marv or something. I would question the word "classic" more than "overlooked" in this case.

And, oh yeah, that Lifesavas album is FANTASTIC--total sunshiney optimist-hop with classic Quannum beats. Quit doing "rap critic in the art of pretend backpacker-dismissal."

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

chill poindexter i didnt say shit about lifesavas except quanuum is hardly overlooked by dudes who read the onion

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

for real im not saying dude has to be all young bleed and playa g but if youre gonna come with 'overlooked' at least give me shit that isnt conscious rap canon already

― and what (ooo), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

xl I'm not doing that! I'm doing 'rap critic in the art of pretend christian rap-dismissal.' I said I'd rap for half of his backpacker list already.

Haha yeah I was gonna say Ethan intro'd me to Young Bleed maybe two years ago, I've been listening to him a lot since actually. My Own is real good, so is his album from last year, his first album on No Limit and that Concentration Camp album Da Halocaust (which gets more "WTF!?"'s than anything else in my CD holder) is totally worth hearing. I haven't heard one of his records from I think '03? There's also a video out from earlier this year or last and he was also on one of my favorite singles from this year.

The beat for "Mr. Me Too" is little more than wheezing synthesizers that suggest an unusually funky life-support system.

LOL...HOMONYMS...

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 23:31 (eighteen years ago)

When I was in the second grade, my teacher introduced me to "homonyms," those words, like "caret" and "carrot" that are pronounced the same, but are spelled differently, and that have different meanings. The concept intrigued me, and for months, I maintained a dog-eared pad of yellow paper with an ever-growing list of homonyms. I eventually lost that yellow pad, but never my interest in these odd, quirky English words.

I consider homonyms to be the prime numbers of the English language. Like primes, they cannot be predicted by any rules of grammar or diction. In the way that you can't search the number line for primes, you cannot systematically search the dictionary for homonyms. You just have to find them, like Easter Eggs in the dictionary.

The best part about homonyms, though, is that they are the raw material for puns, a truly sublime form of humor. With a robust knowledge of and appreciation for homonyms, you will never be embarrassed when a pun-battle breaks out in public.

A few years ago, when my oldest son, Scott, was in the second grade, he came home with the assignment of compiling a list of homonyms! I was in heaven, reliving a joyous, quasi-literary moment from my childhood. Scott and I, along with family and friends, worked for days putting together as complete a list as we could of homonyms. Scott has moved on, but I still maintain the list with a fervor

was he? I dunno anything about that, unless it has something to do with his whole rep about robbing Mobb Deep's crew and his people showing crazy guns in the Beef DVD. the Tru Life wikipedia page is totally bonkers. there's a bunch of stuff in there that's funny on purpose, like "In 2000, Tru Life was involved in a sex scandal involving 5 gay midgets." but then there's also stuff that's funny not on purpose like "People Called him Tru-Life because everything he would rap about would be so personal and everybody around the way would always used to tell him how they've been through that, like it’s the truth. He would just talk about true life things that he's been through."

that boss hogg outlawz is pretty great yeah but i don't hear the toomp/m83 influence at all. The beats don't sound that epic to me - its more like slow-rolling spacey weed music or something.

― deej, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:29 (eighteen years ago)

i am not checking for consequence at all

Buck, 8ball and MJG and Devin is a pretty good lineup for the next two weeks

― deej, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:30 (eighteen years ago)

Kottonmouth Kings is on X-Clan too.

Why would one of the best pro-black rap groups ever have such a soft spot for the shittiest white-people-aping-black-music music possible? Worse that fucking Chuck D on that Vanilla Ice album.

Someone buy dudes a Mastodon album or something!

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:32 (eighteen years ago)

Cool... I will be copping all those too!

Hopefully Quence can finish what Rhymefest started, but it don't look too likely.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

"Recognize a Playa" is a great single, Killa Kyleon kills "Badge on my Neck" and I really like the bass part on "Wood Wheel" and the widescreen spaciness of the C. Ward feature

― deej, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

(talking about boss hogg obv)

― deej, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

love that cover, dotting the 'i' with a pot leaf is a nice touch

― am0n, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

Is "Recognize A Playa" a single?

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

yeah it looks like they just did a video shoot for it too which should probably pop up soon.

― deej, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:38 (eighteen years ago)

The Melle Mel was co-produced by Romeo from the Boogie Boys!

WHERE ARE THEY NOOOO-OOOOW?!

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:40 (eighteen years ago)

Man, Melle Mel is really ripping it on this album.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

It's almost as if he's had 30 years to practice.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:53 (eighteen years ago)

He's still doing that "I'm going to preach at you in a way that still sounds like I'm glamorizing temptations just a little" thing. But he's updated his flow to maybe 1993. A few songs are pretty damn good!

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 10 March 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

― Dan I., Monday, 12 March 2007 01:15 (eighteen years ago)

thats soulja boy. i don't know who did the beat but he also did a version of 'throw some d's' called "just got my report card" that also has a weird redone version of the track that combines d's and "Ballin"

― deej, Monday, 12 March 2007 01:20 (eighteen years ago)

I'm excited about the Young Buck mainly because ain't shit been popping off in 07.

[Removed Illegal Image]

― luriqua, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:12 (eighteen years ago)

yeah "It's Me Bitches" = jam of the year. I hope the whole Swizz album is that crazy. definitely at least gonna be better than the Timbaland album.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 12 March 2007 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

So I'm about halfway through the Twisted Black album, pretty hit-or-miss for the most part so far. But it kinda feels like every step forward gets erased by the two steps back on the next track. "How You Feel About That" has this really nice g-funk via dirty south sample snaking through it and the relatively minimal beat on "Bout That" would have been killer with some decent verses.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 04:42 (eighteen years ago)

srsly, how many more "Thugz Mansion" remakes do we need every year?
re: "Hustler's Prayer"

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 04:57 (eighteen years ago)

alright, one more.. "I'm A Fool Wit It" is fucking great

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 05:04 (eighteen years ago)

what i've been told is that the twisted black is a) a collection of old tracks and b) some pretty average new ones.

― deej, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 05:09 (eighteen years ago)

can't say for sure since this is my first exposure to the guy, but a lot of it is pretty average.
do check out "Fool Wit It" if you haven't heard that one yet

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 05:18 (eighteen years ago)

i've got the 12", thats a great song

sasha frere jones on why hip hop is great, alive and well, and snap is a return to hip hops roots. no ones ever said that before to my knowledge. hmmm, how novel. far as i remember though, busy bee, melle mel and cowboy werent making rhymes about selling crack in their party tracks.

― titchyschneiderMk2, Friday, 16 March 2007 11:43 (eighteen years ago)

lol

Hip-hop has never lacked for detractors. They come in waves, crying "Babylon!" every few years.

is he talking about reggae dudes?

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 16 March 2007 13:10 (eighteen years ago)

Fellow New Yorker Nas, who has long been considered one of hip-hop's finest MCs - a felicitous state of affairs for a rapper who made his one good album 14 years ago - released an album called Hip-Hop Is Dead last November. What exactly killed hip-hop is not entirely clear; it could be "commercialism", "self-hatred" and lack of organisation within the black community, or the inability to quote Big Daddy Kane in a timely fashion.

I like Sasha's Big Daddy Kane bit though.

seems silly to spend all that time arguing for party/dancey/catchy and then drawing for some Proper Albums by way of example? esp when theyre both so dull and shitty.. (also, rich boy's album ="musically simple"? sounded needlessly complicated to me, almost dj shadow-esque even :$)

― strongohulkington, Friday, 16 March 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

it reads like he wrote it over a year ago (y'know, when snap music was actually popular and Ghostface dissing "Laffy Taffy" was a hot topic), and just shoehorned references to Rich Boy and Hip Hop Is Dead in at the last minute when he decided to finally publish it.

if i was president, people would have to be required to quote big daddy kane when asked by an police officer.

it would be like "lets zee if your papers are in order" except more funky.

also Nas has made way more than 1 good record.

I don't really "get" the article. So, it's just meant to tell us that it's "okay" to like "Throw Them D's"?

that Nas and Ghost are grumpy old dudes?

I don't really think this is a news flash.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

Guys it was just a paycheck.

― Alex in SF, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

damn I wish I wasn't at work and could listen to that right now. Swizz said in an interview that the remix would feature Kanye, Jadakiss and Cassidy along with R., but I guess that's almost an even trade for Wayne instead of all of them.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

i like his pictures of walls.

― artdamages, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

"that Nas and Ghost are grumpy old dudes? "

its lazy to say that theyre just old which is why theyre unhappy with how things are though.

― titchyschneiderMk2, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

Well he actually says they are grumpy because these guys are outselling them, which probably isn't entirely inaccurate.

― Alex in SF, Friday, 16 March 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

anyway that piece was just meant to be like the pieces on funk and reggae wasnt it? to goad the reader. "john harris is away this week" lol.

i mean really the original was just made to be remixed. Why else have Swizz's first verse played twice in the original song? Other than to make it longer than a minute thirty seconds obv

― deej, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

i hope they dont this on the radio because it made me feel really dizzy and nauseous (in a good way, i guess) and might cause car accident.

― artdamages, Friday, 16 March 2007 17:14 (eighteen years ago)

disorienting shit that makes me want to crash my car (in a good way) = my general feeling about almost everything Swizz has done in the past 3 years, which is why I'm so hyped about his solo album

Another thing about Crime Mob, someone explain to me why the lead singles off both of their albums "feature" Lil Scrappy when all he seems to do is say 5 words at the beginning of either song. I mean I know they're on the same label and he's slightly more famous then them, but what the hell is even the point of that?

OTM!

Buck has always bored me to tears but I might have to give this album a shot. A few weeks ago I saw some vacant houses in north Baltimore with "BUCK THE WORLD 3.20.07" spray painted across the door and I was like wow, G-Unit's street team is really getting desperate. The fact that they pushed the release date back a week after that made it even funnier, if City Paper had given me the digital camera I was supposed to have by now I totally would've taken a picture of it.

― artdamages, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think frequenting rap blogs would help you keep up on mixtapes these days, it's all longass debates, BET Uncut-esque YouTube videos and corny rapper/athlete analogies.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 16:37 (eighteen years ago)

that Prodigy/Alchemist record is dope, though.

there was this group blog that was hating on all those album dump blogs that pop up and they had a weeks worth of rare hip hop tracks. one of them was from Lost Tapes and it wasn't even that great and then there was a track off the first Organized Konfusion album. i don't think i've fucked with rap blogs since.

i like oh word in theory but it practice its some hiphopsite.com bullshit - i know we went over this already w/ rabin but if youre gonna be a snotty dick putting heads up on 'rare rap' your ego trip dickriding ass better be on some noz cassingle shit instead of reign of the tec and shit is real premo mix

― and what, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

like 9 years ago i used to read this hip hop site and i can't remember the name - maybe someone could help me out. it was all indie stuff and they voted Sole (i think? someone from anticon...) the best MC like 2 or 3 years in a row. they sold stuff too. i don't think its around anymore though.

― artdamages, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 17:56 (eighteen years ago)

for a while they had forums and people would freestyle on them and that was like some proto-youtube shit.

― artdamages, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

no idea, man, 9 years ago the only rap sites I had bookmarked were the AOL message boards like the Roc-A-Fella forum where I peeped the tentative track list for Hard Knock Life with "Imaginary Player Pt. 2" on it.

my fav is quik is the name just for classic high school cassette status

most listened to now is probably rhythmalism or this non album/b-sides mixtape i bought in london with crazy uncleared sample shit on it

btw i am listening to dj quik at work

― and what, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

Have you heard the trauma mixtape? I was wondering how much it differed from the actual album

― deej, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:33 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think the Oh Word 50 every purported to be "rare"

Rare is such a pointless goal in blogging too. If you spend all day trying to find Funkytown Pros cassingle B-sides, you might be missing a chance to turn on someone to JVC Force.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Patrin slipped up by his use of the word "slept-on," but otherwise it was just a solid list of not-too-incredibly-popular rap albums.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:36 (eighteen years ago)

I think 'rare' is misleading.

One of the tracks Noz posted was a Beanie Sigel/T.I. collab that isn't 'rare' in any qualitative sense, just really has no position in internerd rap discourse. Its less about the song's stature in terms of how available or accessible it is - i don't think it has to be cassingle b-sides - but how much attention is actually paid to it.

I guess for lots of people who are passive rap fans its cool to find out that Fat Joe used to spit over Premier tracks but they can also read about that on blogs X, Y and Z

― deej, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:58 (eighteen years ago)

Rap has enough songs left to 'uncover' that you don't need to lose quality by digging a bit further than the Beatnuts breakthrough single

― deej, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 19:59 (eighteen years ago)

I donno I mean I admired the attempt and there were some songs in there not posted by Noz that were relatively 'undiscovered'...it was just real inconsistent that way

― deej, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 20:01 (eighteen years ago)

Speaking of uncovered songs has anyone heard the Infamous Archives thing that just came out. I recognize a few of the tracks from that unreleased Mobb Deep songs list in the Ego Trip book.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't heard it - that sounds pretty cool though
have you heard the big noyd EP from '96? thats a similar sort of thing, all the production was by Havoc.

http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=8680
^^^Noz posting about chicago shit before me : (
he's right about it being all over the radio. Its pretty cool but it doesn't seem that abnormal really....it fits in with chicago radio in a way it might not elsewhere, since our DJs spin juke and rap in the same sets.

― deej, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 21:04 (eighteen years ago)

But, as I recall, the list was like 50 Great Rap Songs You Must Hear Now... You guys are forcing "uncovered" on them.

And I still bet "Reign Of The Tec" would be new to over half of ILX.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 21:07 (eighteen years ago)

"have you heard the big noyd EP from '96?"

Nah. I have the Free Agents mixtape and there are some Noyd tracks on the Unreleased thing part, but those are more recent IIRC.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

"And I still bet "Reign Of The Tec" would be new to over half of ILX."

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 21:19 (eighteen years ago)

There's also ANOTHER Ghostface collection out, although this appears to be 75% made up of various tracks from those Hidden Darts mixtapes (which were great.) Not sure why "The Sun" can get a release on this, but get pulled from Bulletproof Wallets but whatever.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 21:22 (eighteen years ago)

Because it's being released on a small indie that isn't nearly as visible as Epic.

I have the Mobb Deep rarities thing, but haven't gotten around to giving it an ear. The Prodigy album, btw, is fairly incredible.

Al, I think First Mariner Arena was called the Baltimore Arena or Baltimore Civic Centre when old man me saw Eric B. & Rakim on a bill there. I tried to interview Rakim for Option magazine at the hotel before the show. What a disaster. He did not want to say much of anything other than "I think it is important that I tell people not to do drugs." His eyes looked blood shot and he seemed thoroughly uninterested in talking.

― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 13:31 (eighteen years ago)

It was called the Baltimore Civic Center and then the Baltimore Arena and then the bank bought and renamed it like less than 5 years ago, so yeah, same place. I've only ever been in there a few times in the past couple years to write about concerts, though.

Speaking of me running a theme into the ground, I did write to NPR and commented on their "All Songs Considered" webcast concert series being actually "All Indie-rock Considered (except for a James Brown show and a Toots & the Maytals one, it's about 20 some rock shows even though on NPR they have Christgau and others talking afropop and crunk). They have recorded shows at the 930 club and the Birchmere and maybe Strathmore.

― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

considering how many times brother ali and gza have probably played strathmore that does seem a bit strange

― deej, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:04 (eighteen years ago)

I knew that was coming. I was actually pushing the more NPR-friendly afropop and stuff, but the Roots at the 930 or some neo-soul singer or Chuck Brown at 930 or Strathmore (when he opened for the Meters) might have worked.

― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

how much do i love the cover of the new redman?

a: lots.

― strongohulkington, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

yeah it is a pretty awesome cover. that and the appended "Thee Album" kind of make up for the fact that it seems like he picked a current pop culture reference for the title 5 years ago and just stuck with it even after it got pushed back over and over (see also: There's Something About Remy).

I totally didn't except to like the new LL Cool J song w/ Lil Scrappy (talk about G-Unit b-lister matches made in hell) but it's kinda nice.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

man I have the worst schadenfreude ever for Lil Scrappy. right before his album dropped he did an interview where he was so confident that he'd go platinum that he literally said that if he didn't he'd probably have to kill himself, and I had a good laugh when his SoundScan figures trickled in.

I didn't give it much of a try, but what I heard of the Redman album was pretty ugh.

― da croupier, Wednesday, 4 April 2007 22:47 (eighteen years ago)

i could see not liking a redman album...but if someone says they don't like redman, i dunno...something is wrong w/them...like that one thread about CCR...maybe redman is the CCR of hip hop. that kinda makes sense. he's chooglin.

but rap wise i like east coast mostly... but i like some stuff from the south and west coast. i like these threads because i would never hear about anything from the south or west otherwise, and some stuff you guys post to is pretty cool. i listened to some twisted black on his myspace i thought it was good.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 6 April 2007 14:55 (eighteen years ago)

wtf errelevant asked to be friend w/maps of norway AGAIN today. i thought i already approved him...what kind of hyphy rapper wants to be friend w/ a nu wave band from MN??

the beat to "gone (the return of malcolm" is so wierd! it's always swirling strings but it keeps changing the whole time...is that a new beat, cuz some are recylced on this?

― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

just a wild guess, but it sounds like you might be describing the beat from "Gone" off of Kanye's last album?

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

yeah that's probably it...sounds like kanye now that you mentioned it.

― and what, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

yeah it's not really touching "Holla At Me" as far as I'm concerned but I like it too. good use of the beat changing and dropping out for dramatic emphasis on certain verses. I kinda hate Akon on there, though, I didn't know he could sound that strained reaching for high notes. (xpost)

t.i. verse... cmon

every time i listen to that i listen to the ti verse and then skip to the wayne verse (which is all kinds of weird and fun), and thats not the say that the rest of the verses suck but those two are pretty great ("i dont even talk i let the visa speak"). also, fat joe's jacket in the video is totally radical.

Rapper's Change Of Face
Beaten Cam'ron once had no problems cooperating with the fuzz
APRIL 19--So the rapper Cam'ron is appearing on "60 Minutes" this Sunday to explain why he would never help the police, even if they were investigating a serial killer who lived next door to him. The performer (real name: Cameron Giles) believes that his CD sales and popularity would sag if fans saw him aiding law enforcement. But Giles, 31, hasn't always been so down on the fuzz. In fact, New York Police Department records indicate that he cooperated with cops after he was assaulted at a Harlem playground. According to an NYPD report, Giles--who is listed as "compl," or complainant--got into a "verbal dispute" with about 15 black males "while at basketball game" in August 1999. After the perps knocked him to the ground, Giles was kicked in the head and groin. Giles was debriefed by police at Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated and released. The incident report (and an information sheet including a mug shot of Giles) was included in a 500-page rap world dossier compiled by NYPD officials. The report--excerpts of which you'll find here--includes mug shots, rap sheets, and incident reports on many of hip-hop's biggest stars, as well as members of their entourages

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think he's wrong that females are obviously underrepresented in rap or that few of my favorite rap albums are by females but for a post titled "why janey can't rap" he doesn't actually push any theory about "why," just reiterates that she can't.

never mind sticking to this standard annoying internet rap nerd habit of differentiating between unimpeachable classics vs. everything else and why can't rap record by female artist A be more like rap record by male artist B? (aka the 'girlmatic' comment which i did laugh at)

― deej, Thursday, 26 April 2007 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry negroes.

I wish I could say otherwise, but Black scientists are usually not that great.

Period.

The best Black scientist of all time is Dr. Yakub. There is no question about it. Creating the white race is really the only Black science that even belongs in the list of great scientific acheivements, but even that narrowly misses the cut as far as my personal taste goes.

I guess I just don’t see too many black scientists who could accurately be put on the level of an Einstein/Curie/Oppenheimer/Robotnik or even one with the personality of Honeydew/Robotnik/Moreau/Strangelove. Let alone one who fuses these traits and can hang with the white dudes.
You might think that makes me a racist pig, but it merely makes me a discriminating scientist rater. Wait, not that kind of discrimination…

Perhaps there are systematic socio-cultural norms in place that prevent Black scientists from achieving their full potential. I’d believe it - many of the aforementioned doctors have consistently gotten the short end of the industry rule 4080 stick. Maybe the white dominated science industry is purposely keeping Negronium in the vaults, scared that if it sees a release that Blacks will take over the chemistry game and the men will have nobody to pour champagne on in their videos. And if so, that’s fucked up. Because I’d like to hear that album and drink that champagne.

But I’m a physics critic and not a social one. Until there is a Black scientific discovery that I think is truly amazing, I see no reason to include it on a great breakthroughs list. Frankly, I think this approach is a more honest one than the affirmative action agenda perpetuated by an industry that wants to pat itself on the back for giving a bunch of Nobels to Shirley Jackson.

Still, never stop reaching for that rainbow, Urkels.

Category: Life

CAN U IMAGINE BEING TRAPPED AND FEELING LIKE U'RE ABOUT TO DIE ANY MOMENT? DO U HAVE A JOB THAT HAS U LIVING PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK? DO U HAVE A CAR?, AND IF SO DOES IT GET U ONLY FROM POINT A TO POINT B? DO U HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 10? DO U CHECK ON OR LIVE WITH ANY OF YOUR ELDERLY? THIS WAS MY FAMILYS SITUATION DURING THE EVACUATION WHEN KATRINA WAS ABOUT TO POUNCE THE GULF COAST. FIRST THE ELDERLY DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE THEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN AFTER SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR 14 HRS DID I MENTION THEY WERE STILL IN THE CITY? THEY CHECKED INTO A HOTEL THE STORM SENT GLASS FLYING SO THEY GOT CUT. WHEN THE STORM PASSED THEY WERE PUT OUT OF THE HOTEL BECAUSE THE LEVEE BROKE. THEY HAD TO WADE IN THE WATER WITH AN INFANT SMALL CHILDREN A CANCER PATIENT AND AILING ELDERLY. DID I SAY THEY WERE ON A SMALL BUDGET BECAUSE THEY HARD WORKING REGULAR FOLK LIKE SOOO MANY PEEPS. 5 DAYS THEY WATCHED PEOPLE DIE OR BE KILLED IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES 5 DAYS THEY SAW BODIES BLOAT AND DECOMPOSE IN FRONT THEIR EYES THEY HEARD SCREAMS PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEIR KIDS WERE MISSING DEAD SEXUALLY ABUSED. WE LOST 5 FAMILY IN ALL, AND I STILL HAVENT PROCESSED THE LOSSES. THESE STORMS THAT LEVEE COULD HAVE HAPPEN ANYWHERE TO ANYBODY KEEP THAT IN MIND CAUSE MOTHER NATURE CAN DO HER WHEN EVER SHE FEELS. THERE HAS BEEN LIMITED MENTAL HELP FOR THE POST TRAMATIC STRESS . MANY FOLKS ARE FUNCTIONING OUT OF THEIR NORM DO TO THIS TRAGEDY. I GET GROSSED OUT TO SEE A DEAD ANIMAL LYING AROUND TO LONG IMAGINE BEING TRAPPED LOOKING AT HUMANS DEAD YOUR OWN FOLKS. I WANT EVERYONE TO PUT 50 CENT UP EVERYTIME U MAKE A $2.00 AS YOUR EVACUATION FUNDS.BEFORE WE GO FASHION CRAZY MAKE SURE THAT CAR IS DEPENDABLE. EVERYBODY NOT JUST MY KATRINA/RITA PEEPS ALL YALL. I WANT U TO ALSO REFLECT ON THE MENTAL STATE OF SO MANY MAYBE THIS WILL MAKE THEIR CURRENT ACTIONS A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDING. AND TO EVERYONE WILDIN OUT STOP U ARE MAKING IT BAD FOR DECENT FOLK JUST TYRING TO SURVIVE LIFE AFTER KATRINA I HOPE TO SEE YALL HOME FOR THE MARCH REAL TALK.AND TO ALL MY SURVIVORS KEEP YA HEADS UP

Funny that T-Pain is on one version of another of all of the top 3 records on there. I interviewed the kids who did the "Pop, Lock & Drop It" beat a while back, not a great song but some cool noisy shit going on in that beat.

I like "2 Step" way more than "Walk It Out." Runners got my respect with those last 2 Jeezy singles. But I can take or leave almost everything else on that list.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 11 May 2007 15:17 (eighteen years ago)

"I'm a Flirt" & "Rock Yo Hips" are the best of that batch. The Mims, Unk, & Shop Boyz songs are fun. "I Tried" is boring. "Pop Lock & Drop It" is annoying. Haven't heard the Boosie song. The other two I could take or leave.

Trillville
“Some Cut [ft. Cutty]”
[2006]
Star

It's difficult not to feel sorry for Trillville, the crunk journeymen who remain hitless despite the backing of Lil Jon, consistently overshadowed by split-album-mate Lil Scrappy. Scrappy also talked a lot of shit about the group in interviews, describing Trillville as fake thugs from the suburbs. But then Trillville have a decent little catalogue of crunk bangers that could easily be hits, and their relative obscurity is probably their own fault for ignoring those songs and instead releasing this bullshit sex jam as the single.

When the dudes in Trillville talk about sex, they sound like 15-year-olds who once read a copy of Penthouse Forum and then bragged to their friends about all the sex they were having. It's honestly completely impossible to imagine any girl in the history of the world ever swooning for a pickup line like "What it is, ho?/ What's up?/ Can a nigga get in your guts?". This is the song's chorus, and it's at least a whole lot better than other lines like "You a certified head doctor/ Number one scholar that takes dick in the ass and won't holler". Ew, Trillville! All this lovely pillow-talk is ineptly grunted over Lil Jon's unbelievable obnoxious attempt at a smooth, slinky beat, which is unfortunately built from the sound of a mattress squeaking. Honestly, Trillville, you have no one to blame but your dumbass selves.

it's not exactly news that Pitchfork comes up in the top results anytime you search for an artist they reviewed. but you can say the same for Byron Crawford and compared to him PF is actually "credible." besides, ethan, don't you want your Obie Trice review to be the definitive text anytime someone searches for information about him?

Amazing interview w/ Mike Heron, the dude who produced for Screwball & Blaq Poet, A&R'd for Kool G Rap, was involved w/ the making of the "My Life" KGR record, worked for Tommy Boy, Rawkus, and was in charge of releasing Big L's "The Big Picture".
http://www.unkut.com/2007/05/hydra-special-mike-heron-interview/#more-348

Rawkus were like the kids in high school that buy everybody ice-cream. ?We?re having a pizza party guys!? They tried to sit at the cool table, and motherfuckers sent them to go get sodas and shit. They weren?t at the cool table and they tried desperately to sit at the cool table, and motherfuckers weren?t havin? it. It?s as simple as that. When somebody?s always talking about ?Yeah, this is sexy, I?m ghetto fabulous??
(laughing) These motherfuckers used to say shit like that! Telling a black dude how to make a ghetto fabulous record! Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? They're very wealthy kids who went to school with Rupert Murdoch's son, and got off! They never worked a day in their life! Think about it - they went to high school, prep schools, then they went to college with Rupert Murdoch's son - when they left school, they had a fuckin' label! Rupert Murdoch's pops put up all that money - millions of dollars for a label. They never worked! They went from fuckin' grade school, to high school, to college and then to school again - which was the record companies. They've never worked, they don't know what it is to take the train, to get up early in the morning, to wake-up and your fucking lights aren't on, to wake up to roaches, to wake up to 'I hit the lotto and I'm gonna go and spend the money in the after hours' - that's ghetto fabulous! Who the fuck are you to tell me about ghetto fabulous motherfucker! That's ghetto fabulous. Hitting the number and going out and dancing with your girl and getting some nice shoes, wearing your Sunday clothes on Saturday night and going to church on Sunday with liquor on your breath! That's ghetto fabulous, motherfucker! You don't know anything about that! So don't tell me how to make 'ghetto fabulous' records!

― deej, Saturday, 19 May 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

Who's the most difficult artist that you've worked with in the studio?
I don't know, man. Everybody's been pretty cool. Everybody's weird, you know, everybody's nuts. Everybody's got their quirks and shit. I've been doing it for a minute, and I hear a lot of horror stories and I've been part of them, but after a while it's just like 'whatever man'. I don't think anyone's been worse than any otherâ¦they're all pretty bad, man. They're all really, really bad, homie. I can tell you who's really easy to work with - Nate Dogg. Let me put it to you this way - the positive, underground, 'cool' rappers that everybody thinks are really cool are the most difficult pieces of shit you'll ever fuck with. The positive, coffee-shop rappers are the most difficult. I'll leave it at that. They're always late, theyâve always got a complaint, they're always high, they're always bitching and moaning about bullshit - they're the worst. Unprofessional assholes. Underground rappers are the worstâ¦from my experience.

haven't heard the song but Styles P./Extra P seems like a good idea. I think Ghost Sessions is an indie album but all new material, just happens to be dropping 5 months after his last album because that one was delayed for 2 years.

Noz has a new Weezy track. Could be a Carter 3 leak or just some random mixtape ish. Creepy psychedelic hook, lyrics on some trippy shit, I really like it.

Music Review | Summer Jam - Hot 97
In Search of New York at a Hip-Hop Summit

By KELEFA SANNEH N.Y. Times
Published: June 5, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., June 3 — Every summer the radio station Hot 97 organizes Summer Jam, New York’s foremost hip-hop concert. (Though it’s held across the river.) Titans clash, stars show up unannounced, fans render their ruthless judgment. It seems that every year Summer Jam proves a point.

A point was proven this year too, though not by one of the headliners. Sometime around 6:30 the Washington Heights-raised rapper Mims — better known as the “This Is Why I’m Hot” guy — hit the stage to tell the crowd why he is hot. (It’s related somehow to his flyness.) Then came the reggae remix, with Junior Reid and Cham. Then he was gone, ceding the stage to a bunch of crooners and out-of-towners. At New York’s biggest hip-hop show, the one-hit-wonder Mims was the only local rapper on the bill.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/05/arts/music/05jam.html

And Lil Wayne, from New Orleans, proved for the umpteenth time that he’s the wittiest rapper around. Accompanied by his mentor, Birdman, he delivered a series of pun-filled rhymes — “Hit him with a Glock, put him in a coma/Now what that boy got? Uh, glaucoma” — then stalked offstage.

Pioneering Hip-Hop producer Marley Marl suffered a heart attack yesterday (June 5) sources told AllHipHop.com. While details are sketchy, sources said Marley Marl, born Marlon Williams, is in a New York area hospital and is in stable condition. Marley Marl is one of the most influential producers in the history of Hip-Hop. In the early 80's and 90's, Marley crafted seminal records for rappers like Eric B. & Rakim, MC Shan, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, TLC, Masta Ace and Kool G. Rap. Marley Marl's Juice Crew was also involved in rap's most famous feud with KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions, a beef which produced a number of classic Hip-Hop singles like "The Bridge" by MC Shan and KRS One's answer record, "The Bridge is Over." Marley Marl and KRS One have since ended their feud and released an album together titled Hip-Hop Lives, which was released last month via Koch Records.

Joell Ortiz is right under the Devin and El-P for my current top hip-hop album of '07. He just rips it in the New York circa 97 way.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

Punchlines galore!

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 21:25 (eighteen years ago)

joell is good, that single though is kind of a chore to enjoy. But i don't mind working?

i do like this style p ghost sessions record

― deej, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 21:58 (eighteen years ago)

i still think royce - the bar exam is my fav rap thing this year.

but i like joell a lot. and i just got brother ali, which i'm digging a lot.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 22:11 (eighteen years ago)

no, is it good? i've never loved d-block dudes as much as i wanted to.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 22:30 (eighteen years ago)

i think its pretty great, fits in well with this MOR rapper rap i've been into lately (cf i imagine royce, prodigy, joell ortiz, etc)

― deej, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 22:34 (eighteen years ago)

haha yeah workmanlike lyrical dudez is the flavor!

also this crooked i freestyle is like the best thing i've heard lately, they posted it on nahright...

Thread question: Where do you guys usually get your mixtapes? I usually have get them from mixunit.com or get em from a a friend if they are something big like kanye.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 8 June 2007 05:17 (eighteen years ago)

Black Milk is out and hot. Rhymes aren't anything to write home about, but dude will be the first to tell you he's a producer by trade. Brother Ali record starts real slow (I'm mad! I'm loud! I'm from Minneapolis!) and then picks up at the end when he starts talking about his fam and it gets all emo.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 8 June 2007 05:18 (eighteen years ago)

^^
Cosign re: Black Milk, I've really gotten into the sound but the rhymes are pretty boilerplate. I'll beg to differ on Brother Ali though.

The slower Kanye + big drums stuff doesn't really hit me at all, but the louder/faster shit really knocks. When he sounds mad I hear Ice Cube. I just realized today that I can recite "Lookin at Me Sideways" and "Uncle Sam Goddamn."

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 8 June 2007 05:38 (eighteen years ago)

You're not the first person I head that from re: Ice Cube. I really wish i liked his album more. He's the type of rapper I want to push to my indie-rock friends.

ghost sessions, first rap album i've paid actual money for in a minute and i think its great. one of my favorite rap records this year easy, up with bone thugs and z-ro mixtape

― deej, Friday, 8 June 2007 15:13 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i actually like the i'm loud and mad and from mpls thing abt bro ali, but you know, i like lots of people that are loud and from mpls, too much time in an indie punk ghetto.

actually though the second half stuff has really grown on me. i like how he can get kinda "conscious" without being overly preachy, he sounds pretty downhome and humble about it....sometimes he reminds me of Ronnie Van Zandt from Lynyrd Skynyrd, songs like That Smell or Saturday Night Special.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 8 June 2007 15:27 (eighteen years ago)

wanted to like the bro ali but when i saw that single video i was like zzz. not loud and angry enough, really

Apparently at the Grammys he said some shit about "When people see Tip's mother at the grocery store, they'll help her out with her bags because they know she's Tip's son. That's what's valuable to him, credibility amongst his neighbors and family and friends. TI thinks these (Grammys) are more valuable."

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 23:31 (eighteen years ago)

haha I love when T.I.P. criticizes T.I.'s velvet blazer and silk ascot. he should go all Beanie Sigel and be like "You wearing Louis Vuitton driving shoes. Like who does that in the hood? Who dresses like that? Silk shirts, with the buttons and chest hairs all out..."

hey do you guys know this song...i heard it on the radio this morning...it's def. southern...i think maybe i heard the one guy say he was lil' boosie, whom i'd never heard before...the chorus sounded like "wipe it out, wipe it out"...then at the end they said "shoulder, chest, pants shoes" over an over...

July 17th last I heard. that cover image has been out forever so maybe am0n posted it because it just leaked or something, though?

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 15 June 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

'top back' didn't bowl me over, but looking at this tracklist it aint on it so that's ok! there were a couple of other ones with cassidy and diddy i heard as well but i don't see them either. dunno if this is the real thing but "8. Midnight Marauders (w/ Q-Tip)" is so very made up and so very possible so...

1. Product Man (Intro) [Produced by The Individuals]
2. Part Of The Plan (w/ Chris Martin) [Produced by Swizz Beatz]
3. Come & Get Me (feat. Cassidy) [Produced by Buckwild]
4. Its Me Bitches [Produced by Swizz Beatz]
5. Big Money [Produced by Swizz Beatz]
6. The Funeral (w/ Bone Thugs-N-Harmony) [Produced by Kanye West]
7. Live (w/ Cassidy) [Produced by Swizz Beatz]
8. Midnight Marauders (w/ Q-Tip) [Produced by Swizz Beatz]
9. I Asked U First (w/ Eve) [Produced by Sean Garrett]

14. Take A Picture (w/ Mary J Blige) [Produced by Swizz Beatz]
15. Money In The Bank [Produced by Young World Music]

is 'money in the back' getting any radio play? i like it in theory but it's something that requires addiction forced on you i think

― r|t|c, Friday, 15 June 2007 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

I think I would like to hear (a previous incarnation of) Q-Tip over Swizz Beatz production.

Sidenote: I hate it when producer-cum-rappers outsource the production on their own albums. WTF? We aren't buying your album to hear you rap, muhfuck.

― The Reverend, Friday, 15 June 2007 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't heard "Money In The Bank" outside of mix show spins so far, and even there only a little. I think he should've dropped the album at the height of "It's Me Bitches"-mania but now it's pushed back to fucking LATE AUGUST COME ON. Curious what he's got up his sleeve for the records with Kanye and Coldplay that are supposedly gonna be singles.

(xpost The Reverend OTM, although Needlz and Nottz and Neo Da Matrix will probably hold down the Swizz sound as well as Swizz himself o nthe album)

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 15 June 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

(there are like five different tracklists for the album out there and those 3 producers are on at least some of them, although mostly not on the one above. either way, who knows what'll actually be on the album in 2 and a half months if it still drops then.)

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 15 June 2007 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

I guess The Pack only putting out an EP after "Vans" was close to that.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 15 June 2007 22:22 (eighteen years ago)

"Ringtone rap" is great phrase. Thank you for that.

For some reason I have it solidly in my head that "Party Like a Rock Star" is by Dem Franchise Boys, even though I know this is not true. So, in what ways is their album bizarre?

Oh, I haven't mentioned this before, cause I just saw it a couple days ago, but OMG THE VIDEO.

― The Reverend, Saturday, 16 June 2007 05:28 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think it's at all unreasonable to not know the name of the group that does that song. for a while I was trying to see how long I could go with it being a hit before I could remember who it was by, but eventually the words "Shop Boyz" got stuck in my head, and I was pretty disappointed. now I'm trying not to remember anything about any of the verses but I can still remember the one guy going "i DO it like i DO it."

I heard Swizz's "Money In The Bank" in the club tonight and it was like OK, I finally get that song.

Speaking of hyphy biz....Anyone else heard Mistah F.A.B's The Baydestrian? He put it out in place of his major label debut which has yet to materialize. I'm not that hot on it, to be honest. Most of it is a lot calmer and less party-oriented than what I want from him. His voice gets a chance to become annoying when he's pontificating rather than going dumb.

The Pack is already halfway over and awesome so far. Hyphy, in its ADD-ness, seems particularly well-suited to the EP format.

Shop Boyz album is better than the Pack EP (which I like a lot), even though my very first reaction was "they should have made an EP like the Pack did. In fact, everybody should just make EPs."

Here is my Shop Boyz review, the edited version of which ran in a major trade magazine this week:

In which three Atlanta car shop kids score a big moshing novelty hip-hop hit about partying like rockstars, a fantasy that primarily concerns golfing with Ozzy and repeatedly chanting “t-t-t-totally dude!” like Jeff Spicoli or Bart Simpson. Their debut album, seemingly too tossed-off to ever lose its Field Mob-style sense of fun, features plenty of gratifyingly good-natured shout-and-fight boisterousness, a pinch of eerie reminiscence about their Bowens Homes ‘hood, some heavily wah-wahed funk-metal that could be Fishbone in 1985, and assorted oddball space-synth and classical and tuba snippets. In two obligatory inoffensive crunk’n’b slowdowns, girls even get mentioned. But give or take the smash single and its well-earned clones “Totally Dude” and “Rockstar Mentality,” the most spirited moments concern the Shop Boyz’ obvious true love. “My Car,” spare and wobbly, dreams of Mazeratis; the wonderful and entirely unexpected early Beach Boys imitation “Rollin” appropriately documents a ’64 Chevy.

And here is the (pre-edited) version of the Pack EP I wrote a few months ago for the same publication:

Six songs and one remix (perfect hip-hop length!) by four teenagers (just like rap groups a quarter-century ago!) from the Bay Area extremely proud of their “punk rock shoes”, as their irresistibly cute hyphy-identified hit “Vans” makes clear. Their Vans cost $36 and “look like sneakers,” the Pack confusingly inform us; put them on and you’ll feel like a grown man (“bout 30.”) The lime green ones make you “flyer than a space ship,” and Young L’s minimalist electro-beats all over the EP gurgle through the stratosphere like “Planet Rock” gone dub. The other catchy tracks whisper about too many strip clubs (wouldn’t they get carded at the door?) and not enough skateboards, but choruses of “Ride My Bike” of “Freaky Bopper” connect to bawdy old-timers Queen and Ian Dury, of all people. Highlights include the part about Young L’s Fruit Loop bicycle chain and the part where they see your underwear.

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 09:33 (eighteen years ago)

Part of a rolling-metal/teenpop-thread post I made one week ago, also in reference to the Shop Boyz (with a little information not in the above review):

Heavy Metal video of the year, easy, is Shop Boyz' "Party Like A Rock Star," ... just think that video is hilarious -- all the way to the car blowing up into hook'em horns hands at the end. The video is even more fun (and also a lot more metal) than the song. ...the severely wah-wah-ed "Sumthin' To Talk About" sounds like Fishbone imitating Westbound-era Funkadelic... (According to their press release, they were "part of a large group of guys who used to hang out at a local car shop" in Atlanta's Bankhead section. It is also said that their hit has inspired a "new punk wave among hip hop heads in the South complete w/ crowd surfing and slam dancing, mosh pits."

As for the Pack EP (which again, I like, honest!) (and which came out last year, duh) being better than any major label rap LP this year, I think I'd take Rich Boy (which nobody else here seems to like, for reasons I still can't figure out) and Crime Mob's LPs over it. But not by a whole lot.

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)

A few other random tidbits about Shop Boyz LP:

-- The two crunk'n'b-ish tracks, "Baby Girl" and "Next To Me," either one or both of which has some girl singing with them, might be the two dullest things on the record.
-- I don't much like "They Like Me," which appears to be about gold digging women trying to get their money and jewels or something. It's like the token disrespectful track or something; who needs it?
-- The two really fun oi!-shouted crunk songs are "Flexin'" (which has eerie synth backup and a real catchy swing to it) and "Showin' Me Love" (where they switch off voices and yell out east coast! west coast! and it sounds very friendly).
-- "Totally Dude" is actually about "Party Like A Rockstar", since it says "we've got the whole world yellin out 'totally dude'" and "we still party like a rock star" etc.; also, it's the one with the weird classical music free-lunch at the end.
-- "World On Fire" has a smidgen of Fishbone in its chorus, too, plus tasty electro-blipping.

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 12:26 (eighteen years ago)

And fuck it, if I'm going to hijack the thread, I might as well go all out. From the country thread, earlier this year (hey, at least I'm not going to transfer the posts about Cowboy Troy) (whose new album pretty much stinks, for whatever it's worth):

I'm still pretty sure I like "Role Models" and "On The Regular" (and maybe "Lost Girls" and "Ghetto Rich") (and obviously "Get To Poppin,'," duh) at least as much if not more than "Thow Some D's," which is a pretty darn good hit single.
-- xhuxk, Saturday, March 17, 2007 1:34 PM (2 months ago) Bookmark Link

"Boy Looka Here" (cool marching band beat) also fun on the Rich Boy album. And "Hustla Balla Gangsta Mack" has New Orleans (more era than one probably -- the Meters one and the Cash Money one) in its rhythm and some lively gurl responses from Divinity, and "Let's Get This Paper" does ominousness pretty well. But "Role Models," featuring David Banner and Attitude, totally kicks like party-in-the-background frat rock as far as I'm concerned. Least enertaining tracks: "Madness" (which does ominousness shittily), "Touch That A**" (spare sound is okay, but would be more fun with less retarded words.), "What It Do".
-- xhuxk, Saturday, March 17, 2007 5:37 PM (2 months ago) Bookmark Link

People on the Rolling Snap Thread were savagely but inarticulately disliking the Rich Boy album; I like "Throw Some D's" and love "Get To Poppin'" (my number two single of 2005, wedged between "Since U Been Gone" and "La La"), though more on the basis of the sample than the rapping, and the remix f. Pitbull might be the best version but I only recall it from the local (now-defunct) reggaeton station. Haven't heard anything else by the guy.

I think the intention is to show that it's OK to let your Vans get dirty. Especially since "so fresh, so clean" hip-hoppers are obsessed with keeping their kicks the whitest. They're a punk rock shoe, so it's acceptable to allow them to get fucked up like regular shoes.

the two most humiliating moments so far, aside from the hot chip ipod embargo, were definitely my nothing band being forced to do a "signing" at a table directly next to tom fucking morello, who had a giant snaking line going throughout the entirety of bonnaroo. of course we had ONE DUDE (far more embarassing than zero dudes) covered in tenderhooks paraphernalia and getting autographs on it. everyone in line acted like he was completely insane (he probably is). Then the Newbury Comics staff actually had to kick us out to make way for Brazilian Girls.

The other embarassing thing is this: my friend (who is also in a nothing band) was like "hey, they're giving out free tents to artists! go get one!" so i walk over there and ask for a tent and they also have these really nice bags. i ask for just the bag and the girl is like "oh, someone from your band already claimed yours actually." untrue, she just didn't want to give one to such a non-fame. and then she was all "YOU CAN HAVE A FREE SPIN MAGAZINE THOUGH." humiliating

did i mention we have to camp next to Wolfmother? talk about pricks. we basically have a feud going at this point. the guy with ridiculous pants and hair (is that all/both of them?) makes fun of constantly, because we think we are a band, and he is also in a band and wears long pants, or something. he's retarded, and i hate him.

Single was on my poll (and Kogan's) too ("Vans" dropped in like August). But NO ONE has the full EP on their list because it came out too late.

"I like it for poppist reasons, not hip-hoppist reasons"

I like the Pack for the same reasons (hooks, catchy phrases, instant memorability, smart dumb fun) I like Rihanna or Madonna or Gnarls Barkley or Mims. Not for the intricate rhymes that draw me to Devin or Jay-Z or El-P). Its the alternate side of the coin to, say, Big L, who makes great hip-hop music that doesn't really work well as pop music.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 16:32 (eighteen years ago)

The -ist suffixes carry too much weight on ILX.

Let's just say I like them more "as pop" then "as hip-hop"

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

I was probably misuing the word "popist" too.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 16:37 (eighteen years ago)

NO ONE has the full EP on their list because it came out too late.

Whiney, again -- check the link to my Idolator list I just posted (don't worry, I'll only post it once), and scroll down to album #168 (which was technically my 178th favorite album of 2006, but never mind) (even though it was technically an EP not an album.)

I have always liked the hip-hop I like (just like any other music I like) for hooks, catchiness, instant memorability, smart (which usually doesn't mean dumb) fun, beauty, whether it's got a good beat and I can dance to it, whether it reminds me of other music I like, whether it reminds me of what I had for breakfast, and thousands of other reasons, including the same intricate rhymes I often enjoy in plenty of pop music. The idea of subjecting individual genres to litmus tests specific to their genres just seems bizarre to me -- In my case, it would be downright dishonest. But to each one's own.

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)

Re: Litmus Tests,

It's def a "to each one's own" thing. But people do it to rock bands all day long on ILX

I like "Careless Whisper" more than "Blowin In The Wind," but I wouldn't say Wham! is better than Dylan, y'know?

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

Or should I say, I wouldn't say Wham! is a better "rock artist" that Dylan.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

xp But if Wham! had as many songs that are better than "Blowin in the Wind" and "Carless Whisper" as Dylan does, you might. (I don't really get your point there -- saying Artist A is better than Artist B never necessarily means that ALL of Artist A's songs are better than Artist B's, does it?)

And I'm not sure what being a "better rock artist" means. If you like them more, you like them more.

people do it to rock bands all day long on ILX

Sure, and they don't make sense to me, either. (Lots of hip-hop records are good because they rock and pop, and lots of rock and pop records are good because they hip-hop. How is that not obvious?)

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

I'm separating myself as a critical entity from myself as a human being who listens to music. I don't understand why I can't say "As a human being, I listen to and enjoy The Pack more than Devin The Dude, but if I sit and think critically I will gladly admit that Devin The Dude is a better hip-hop artist than the Pack."

I've seen Citizen Kane once, and Clerks 23 times and I'm pretty sure that--even though on a lazy Sunday, I would rather enjoy boner jokes than deconstruct mise-en-scene--that Citizen Kane is a "better" movie.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

xp I mean, I guess I'd understand if you said that, say, Miranda Lambert is not one of the best hip-hop albums of the year, since she has no hip-hop in her music (just like Wham! don't have much rock in theirs). But to say the Pack isn't one of the best hip-hop albums of the year, when you like their record much, and when hip-hop is clearly the genre they come out of, just sounds like a contradiction. ("Party Like A Rock Star"'s video is clearly metal to me, so therefore it should clearly be in the running as one of the metal videos of the year, even if it doesn't do whatever arbitrary stuff metal videos "should" do, whatever the heck that is.)

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

xp Okay, now you've changed the discussion to the difference between "best" and "favorite," which I've never understood either, but that's been argued many times on many other threads ad infinitum by me and lots of other people, so I'm not gonna go there now.

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

Basically, if I sit and think critically, my job when I do so is to figure out (and communicate in my writing, if I'm writing about it) why I like the Pack more than Devin the Dude, or the other way around. Anything else strikes me as deceitful, and pointless. I don't want my conscience telling me, "Nope, you just like music that tastes good, but music with good taste is better." If anything, the problem with music criticism is that it does that way too much. And it's boring as fuck: Eat your peas, young man! The purpose of music is to be listened to, so if I want to listen to this music more than that music, this music is better serving the purpose. And so on. But this is really derailing the thread now. Like I said, there are threads that deal with this issue all on its own...

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:20 (eighteen years ago)

I think the fact that I sometimes make a distinction between "best" and "favorite" when it comes to making lists is why there's a disconnect. So we should leave it that.

But really, how can you say my scale for what a good hip-hop album should be is more or less arbitrary than what your criteria for a good metal album should be? I feel like I'm the kid in the anti-drug PSA being caught with a copy of The 500 Greatest Metal Records under my bed.

(Also, I think Tom Waits and Joanna Newsom make great hip-hop records)

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:22 (eighteen years ago)

Also, to see more best/favorite list-making guilt... wait to see if I decide to put Battles (best) or Big Business (favorite) on the top of my P&J&JnP list this year.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:24 (eighteen years ago)

My criteria for "what a good metal album is" is "do I like it?," Whiney! (Believe me, if the albums in my book are subjected to a litmus test, I'd love to know what it is. If there is one, it certainly isn't one that many other metal fans would agree with, and I seriously doubt it's in any way specific to metal. Jeez, have you looked at what albums in that book?)

(Battles and Big Business both made me snooze, fwiw.)

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

I always imagined you had some sort of criteria to decide what made the cut. I guess I'll have to read it some more with that in mind. And then figure out which way to go when I start writing The 500 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums book (or blog)

(As do Tom Waits and Joanna Nuisance, as my daughter calls her, but if you think they're hip-hop, more power to you.) (Buck 65 does Waits better than Waits does. Though he doesn't do Tom T Hall as good as Tom T Hall does. Or at least as good as he used to.)

"'Indestructable Sam'... tells the 100% true story of a man named Samuel Dombey who dug graves down New Orleans way in the years following the civil war and the attempts made by his competitors and the nasty "magician" Dr. Beauregard to kill him. It's an amazing tale, and the song features Old Man Luedecke's banjo."

criteria to decide what made the cut

Uh, yeah...loud guitars, mainly (as the intro says.) But the criteria to decide what order they're in in the book was "which album here do I like the most?"

If I did a book about the Top 500 Rap Albums Ever, my criteria for making the cut would probably be "is there rapping on it?" And then I'd use the same criteria for deciding how good they are that I used in my metal book (and probably toss in a few hip-hop albums where nobody rapped, just to confuse things.)

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)

(Actually, criteria was "are there loud guitars on at least 50 percent of the album, or is this an act people would have considered metal at some time, or that has sufficient music in common with some other act that people would have considered metal at some time?" So adjust my rap-book criteria accordingly -- rapping in just one song probably wouldn't be enough, for say the Bellamy Brothers or Ian Dury.)

I will try to check out that Buck 65 track. Would have done it sooner, but listening to music on the computer tends to be more bother than it's worth.

― xhuxk, Saturday, 16 June 2007 17:44 (eighteen years ago)

i really am not feeling the devin the dude album which pisses me off cuz it would be the perfect album for me to be all "hipster love doesn't affect my opinions" about when folks get mad at me for hating nu-lilwayne. But i donno, there aren't any songs as strong on it as his other albums! Its like everything is just off slightly, like the snoop+andre song sounds good in concept but i can't really think of a context i want to hear that in, no mixtapes for girls, no driving around the city, not on the radio (not that this is an issue) and not at my job (where i fucking hate my job, f.u. devin, go smoke some weed in the studio and make me feel shitty)

― deej, Saturday, 16 June 2007 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

no driving around the city

man i love bumping 'what a job' when i'm driving home from work at night.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 16 June 2007 21:39 (eighteen years ago)

dont take that too literally dude, i can listen to it doing anything but its not *resonating*

today i kicked a homophobe out of the hotel ... what a job!

― deej, Saturday, 16 June 2007 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

Right, I mean it's especially resonant for me on the way home from work at night. Just got off work and am exhausted, fantasizing about Devin's job/sympathizing with working hard hits home; also it's just laid back enough for driving home at night.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Saturday, 16 June 2007 22:00 (eighteen years ago)

yeah deej im w/ you; the whole album is just sort of weirdly mediocre. and its not like he changed his style or his subject matter or anything (maybe thats the problem!)--its just that nothing's interesting on the album. i think hoos is right--"what a job" is great for post-work fantasizing and andre's verse is pretty strong. but yeah the album as a whole is really disappointing.

Being able to distinguish "favorite" from "best" is a cognitive breakthrough that most people achieve by the age of 12, xhuxk, which is why when you rage against even acknowledging the difference, you sound like someone who got bumped on the head at a very young age, or at the very least about as rational as a Clay Aiken fanclub member. I agree that any objective idea of the best music is kind of ridiculous, but I don't think it's "deceitful" to have a favorite record and love it without reservation while not actually thinking it's the best record ever made. And if you don't like thinking in terms of genre, that's fine, but the whole "metal/rap is whatever I say it is" schtick just isn't cute anymore.

The DJ Khaled album is really dire, and I thought his first one was a pretty decent compilation. The new one's way shorter and has like one or two good songs besides "We Takin' Over." I was wondering if Cool & Dre fell off or their rep just cooled down and they were getting less work, but based on all their tracks on this they definitely fell off.

― Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 17 June 2007 00:46 (eighteen years ago)

Chuck has a point in that when people sweat the difference between "favorite" and "best" they tend to be incorporating too much received wisdom in their criteria, not trusting their own values. That said, I think "favorite" is a preferable descriptor to "best" when making lists and the like - its more honest, less solipsistic. It acknowledges subjectivity and the idiosyncracies of taste (which I think would be healthy for more crits to do), and it that sense there is a difference between the terms. But if you don't think an album is one of the best you've ever heard, then you inherently don't love it without reservation.

― da croupier, Sunday, 17 June 2007 02:10 (eighteen years ago)

more on the subject of this thread, if anybody could recommend some recent rap where the beats are more JB/P-Funk than click track, hook me up plz.

― da croupier, Sunday, 17 June 2007 02:17 (eighteen years ago)

the Prodigy/Alchemist record, I guess? and parts of the Redman album.

― Alex in Baltimore, Sunday, 17 June 2007 05:11 (eighteen years ago)

The Prodigy album has a weird Madlibby vibe to it which i like.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 17 June 2007 06:09 (eighteen years ago)

Being able to distinguish "favorite" from "best" is a cognitive breakthrough that most people achieve by the age of 12

and grow out of by college age, hopefully? and i'm not trying to talk anyone down, I honestly do not get what it would mean to be able to parse best from favorite from a personal standpoint(ie. divorced from questions of consensus, accessibility, and the like).

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 19 June 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i don't know, maybe it'll grow on me, but it's weird i hadn't ever heard it until last weekend and after that i've heard it like a zillion times. i guess this kinda fits into that "ringtone rap" thing maybe.

"Hip Hop Police" and "Not A Criminal" are okay but it's kind of hilarious how desperate Cham is to repeat the fluke success of "Ridin'." Are all his singles gonna be about being harrassed by cops from now on?

yeah i like this chamillionaire. though err, probly the last thing 50 needed in his life was his karaoke twin "go,go,go,go"-ing over a fake dre beat. slick rick sounds great too.

also cham totally smashing this ugk song before its even out is one of my fave things this year, i think

― r|t|c, Thursday, 21 June 2007 14:41 (eighteen years ago)

speaking of 50, i like the guy overall, and end up defending him to people at work all the time even though i barely listen to him..but goddamn "Amusement Park" is one of the fucking lamest songs I've ever heard....I like how Magic Stick devolved into Candy Shop which has now devolved into an even worse song.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 21 June 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

I just listened to "Magic Stick" for the first time since it was a hit and it really does own. I appreciate that Fiddy & Kim got an awesome faux-Rza beat to #2, and without a video, too. Is Kim out of jail yet?

nothing really stood out for me the way each of the first four had a few instantly noticeable "okay, this is the one" type tracks, but it sounded really good as a string of generic bangers blurring into the noise from the air conditioner this morning. i'm sure when i listen to it on headphones a few times, i'll start noticing lyrical boners and wack synth noises or whatever and downgrade.

― strongohulkington, Monday, 25 June 2007 15:32 (eighteen years ago)

am digging the new pharoahe, with some reservations...i'm not too big on his kinda sing-songy thing that he likes to do on some hooks and verses now...also i wish there were more uptempo real wild-out songs...and push seems like kinda of half-assed,just let the music play for a long time and then one verse...

but that said, this is really good...goddamn he is such a great rapper, such an authoritative voice....weirdly i really like the terrordome cover against all odds...the flow works well with the more soul/r&b feel and i like the new lyrics he sticks in the last verse.

yeah no doubt! 50's losing battle with his own cynicism is kinda heartbreaking tho. did anyone else read about all that stuff last year about him wanting to change direction, do something soulful and different (building on the V SLEPT ON get rich or die trying ost i guess), getting rich harrison in and making him the rap amerie or whatever? and then calling the album BEFORE I SELF-DESTRUCT!! man he totally bottled it.

i think that's really what kills it - he makes out like he's doing it for the money but he so isn't! he's just... insecure.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 6 July 2007 03:26 (eighteen years ago)

that whole weird thing earlier this year with him and styles p on the phone together on the radio was interesting as well: 50 starts off all cocky like it was nobrainer cam'ron beef but gets all bothered when he realises styles is an honourable dude who just doesnt care about his money and fame and all that, and then gets really flustered trying to get his head around how the love of the streets matters more to some people

it was some rare when worlds collide moment.

Yeah the "Amusement Park" beat is nice. Now that it's apparent that it won't be omnipresent on the radio for months on end, I can actually enjoy it for what it is, and it's a pretty funny song. Apparently "Ayo Technology" is titled "She Want It" now, and the quick snippet on YouTube isn't very promising. How the hell are people excited about "I Get Money" though...I liked that beat better the first time, when it was called "I'm A Hustla."

Totally still pumped about the 50/Rich Harrison thing, hopefully he didn't scrap those tracks already.

― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 6 July 2007 04:15 (eighteen years ago)

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper:”The track is an analogy for watching porn. The word ‘technology’ was put in as a way to replace what they really wanted to say - ‘pornography’.

“It’s all about being fed up with having to make do watching dirty movies and how desperate they are to have real-life stunning girls.”

Justin and 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - will reportedly film the video for the song this weekend with Los Angeles director Joseph Khan. It will see the pair star as sex-obsessed ‘Matrix’ style secret agents who spy on women. The source said: “They will wear hi-tech gadgets and night-vision goggles which enable them to see through the girls’ clothes. “It’s a cat and mouse situation with car chases and gadgets galore but spying on the girls is the main theme. It will be creepy and sinister. They are going to push the envelope.

ima look for that snippet. can't remember it at all now but i think i liked that one with robin thicke too?

sigh, more 8-bit warp zone stuff. IF YOU LIKE THAT SORT OF THING. it's alright for bobby val, but 50 may have strayed a bit far for his own good - it's a little "featuring 50 cent"-ish unconvincing. expected a doubletime verse that never came, too. meh.

am i the only one who's astounded that lil jon finally did something so un-lil jon?

"i beat that pussy up then i stuck it in her butt (in her butt?)/ yeah, nigga, i stuck it in her butt" is easily the most redeeming moment of lil jon's rapping career, if only because he calls the chipmunk voice "nigga."

― Jordan Sargent, Friday, 13 July 2007 05:15 (eighteen years ago)

i actually kind of like it, the brunt of the convo was that 'i feel like dying' and 'i'm a j' (which i like) were going to kickstart a trend of coattail-ridin shit i'd hate.

rafi does actually hate it, though, i think.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 13 July 2007 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

sorry if this has already been brought up (i did a cursory scroll-through of the thread only) but what are everybody's thoughts on "a bay bay"?

in terms of 2007 catchphrase songs i like "pop lock and drop" it a lot more, but it's storming up the charts and i can't seem to go like two hours in public without hearing some type of reference to it.

(im kind of bothered that its basically a courtship in the club song by a kid who is 16, but i guess i've looked past worse irregularities in rap before.)

― Jordan Sargent, Saturday, 14 July 2007 02:49 (eighteen years ago)

"pop lock and drop it"*

― Jordan Sargent, Saturday, 14 July 2007 02:49 (eighteen years ago)

a bay bay is great and has been my ringtone for months

― deej, Saturday, 14 July 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

i find the verses on "a bay bay" more tedious than i do on most snap/catchphrase songs.

― Jordan Sargent, Saturday, 14 July 2007 07:53 (eighteen years ago)

Both those songs are terrible.

― The Reverend, Saturday, 14 July 2007 09:31 (eighteen years ago)

haha I think I already mentioned this so I apologize for continuing to namedrop but I've interviewed the producers for both "A Bay Bay" and "Pop, Lock, & Drop It," but I think they're just OK as songs. the "Pop" remix is great, mainly because T-Pain sounds like a malfunctioning robot on it. I'm really kinda getting teenage-rapper-radio-jam fatigue in '07, though.

― Alex in Baltimore, Saturday, 14 July 2007 15:27 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I've heard the "Pop" remix.

― luriqua, Monday, 23 July 2007 18:40 (eighteen years ago)

You know that place they call motherfuckin Bronx River
But I always kept low-key motherfucker
Cause I know it's hard out there
Y'knahmsayin I'd be sittin on the sidelines, up in the PJ's man
And I was there when shit was goin down
With them niggaz Bambaataa, and Kool Herc nigga
Yo Fab 5 Freddy~!
Yo these niggaz really need to know what the fuck is goin on man
Cause when you did motherfuckin, Yo! Raps
You really told it like it was
But these new motherfuckin made brand motherfuckers
that don't got no motherfuckin life
Just livin paycheck to paycheck
and lookin for a fuckin squirt-off for the night

― luriqua, Monday, 23 July 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Just like them niggaz be up at Sufy Rendezvous, fuckin around
Pullin they dick out, thinkin they can get they shit licked

You don't even go to motherfuckin Timbuktooth

the "My Drink n My 2 Step" cousin cole remix is absolutely ridiculous, i've literally played it 20 times since i downloaded it. this and Weezy Haters (La La La La) are my summer jams in that Intl Players Anthem type of way right now...neither of these are Snap but none of the other tracks in your little summer 07 shit is either.

that's from last year lol. And "Rock Yo Hips" is like a few months past it's peak, so it doesn't count as a summer jam.

― The Brainwasher, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 15:30 (eighteen years ago)

practically every song people have mentioned in this whole summer shit subthread has been out since March or earlier, but I wasn't gonna say anything because I didn't wanna be some "get with the times, man" asshole. I really can't believe you guys aren't already way sick of most of those songs already, thoguh.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 15:39 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i didn't know when it came out. this is all based on what they play on my local radio station. they still play the the hell out of make it rain. so sorey dudes.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

haha no it's cool, i'm not hating. i remember when Whiney started a thread a while back about 'the 3 big songs of 07 so far' or something and it was like Make It Rain and Throw Some D's and I got into some pretty serious release date pedantry, but it really doesn't matter.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

"bitch, Proclaimers in 93?! 500 Miles came out like five muthafuckin' years ago!!"

― da croupier, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 16:14 (eighteen years ago)

i'd guess that the 'date pedantry' comes mostly from being sick of/having already played out the songs, rather than anyone really caring about release dates vs. enjoyment. I mean, plenty of songs peaked for me ages after they came out but (i.e. that one chance song w/ fabo i've been playing a lot lately) but i'm steering clear of 'song of the summer'-type shit

In a Perfect World is the upcoming debut album by R&B artist, Keri Hilson.[2] The album will include production by Hilson's common collaborators, Timbaland, who executive produces the album, Danja, Polow Da Don and others while boasting writing credits from fellow Timbaland-collaborator, Justin Timberlake and her writing and production collective, The Clutch.

O_o

I will keep an eye out, thanks for that.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 22:36 (eighteen years ago)

Keri Hilson has been writing music for individual artists since 2000. She has written music for Britney Spears, Xzibit, Fat Joe,Toni Braxton, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Ciara, the Pussycat Dolls, Avant, Ruben Studdard, B5, Diddy, Chingy, LeToya, Rich Boy, Shawn Desman, Kelly Rowland, Nicole Scherzinger, Lloyd Banks, and Timbaland.

also she's the cute chick in the blue hoodie in the "throw some d's" video.

incidentally I know Timbaland is commercially invincible right now but how weird is it that he managed to get a single into the top 5 featuring his goofy ghostwriter brother and the weed carrier who he had diss Scott Storch for him?

The top 40 station here plays the (superior) album version of "The Way I Are". I'm more impressed with him doing this well with a song that is for all intents and purposes hip-house, although "SexyBack" certainly points in that direction.

― The Reverend, Thursday, 26 July 2007 05:16 (eighteen years ago)

I just picked up Know What I Mean? Reflections on Hip-Hop by Michael Eric Dyson today. Good shit so far.

Also that "Assorted Donuts" Dilla blendtape that Ethan (I think?) linked to back on the Sandbox still gets play, and it still knocks.

this is all pretty surprising coming fom chamillionaire, cause "ridin' dirty" is pretty trite.
also: slick! rick!

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 03:21 (eighteen years ago)

video of the year

― am0n, Monday, 30 July 2007 03:22 (eighteen years ago)

"ridin' dirty" is pretty trite.

oh?

― deej, Monday, 30 July 2007 03:40 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i think so.
especially when compared to his new two songs, "ridin'" is way too celebratory of having a nice car and a playstation and great rims. the song is basically "i got a nice car with a tv and playstation in it and i picked up a hot girl who i just want to bone and by the way fuck the police but seriously do you see these rims man?"
in contrast "hip-hop police" a. tells a story and b. goes through seemingly realistic situations a rapper would have with (ignorant, racist) cops i.e. "i see you in this picture with snoop, what is that about?" or "you said x and y in your songs, do you really do x and y because you know that is illegal."

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 05:28 (eighteen years ago)

on the other hand, 'ridin' is eminently more listenable

i do appreciate the video as spectacle tho

― deej, Monday, 30 July 2007 05:33 (eighteen years ago)

'ridin' is eminently more listenable

aka it has a nice hook. the verses are clumsy as fuck and really kinda amateur, especially considering what he is capable of.

i do appreciate the video as spectacle tho

i agree with this. very kanye, in a good way.

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 05:37 (eighteen years ago)

"Ridin" is great.

But I might actually like "Police" more?

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 30 July 2007 05:42 (eighteen years ago)

argh, "ridin" is one of the few mega-popular rap songs from the past few years that i really haven't liked all that much. the verses are so... "i'm crazy like krayzie bone."

i love the "guilty conscience" vibe re: police. and oh yeah, slick! rick!

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 05:45 (eighteen years ago)

oh yeah, slick! rick!

YES

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 30 July 2007 05:54 (eighteen years ago)

also i don't much care for chamillionaire, but i hope this song is HUGE.

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:05 (eighteen years ago)

"I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone" would be a random/stupid line if it wasn't an obligatory shoutout to the other MC on the track. And Krayzie's verse on that song is awesome and redeems any weaknesses of Cham's usual awkward syllable-jamming.

"Hip Hop Police" sounds super cheesy, the poduction and the hook and everything, and the video veers kinda close to corny (although the fact that the new Yung Joc video is on some similiar wannabe Eddie Murphy shit but is completely horrible kinda makes it seem better), but it's funny and daring enough that it makes the song seem way better than it is.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:05 (eighteen years ago)

i'm not really a fan of rap meta, but I really like "the production and the hook and everything" and omg more tracks need Slick Rick to show up in the last third.

― da croupier, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:12 (eighteen years ago)

"you a pirate? why you got that eye patch on for?"
"funny."

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:14 (eighteen years ago)

also i'm with alex re: the video makes the song infinitely better.

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:17 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah SR really improves the song tenfold as soon as he starts ad-libbing on the second chorus. I hope Cham keeps making a habit of putting great rappers who haven't had a hit in 5-15 years on his singles. (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:17 (eighteen years ago)

I vote for Prince Be next!

― da croupier, Monday, 30 July 2007 06:23 (eighteen years ago)

The only way Prince Be was gonna get invited to participate in a hit record these days is if someone else sampled Spandau Ballet and got him for the remix, but Lloyd didn't bother.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 30 July 2007 12:47 (eighteen years ago)

"And Krayzie's verse on that song is awesome and redeems any weaknesses of Cham's usual awkward syllable-jamming."

krayzies verse is also stupid as it totally ruins any argument cham had for the police unfairly pulling him over. hes smoking, drinking and holding a gun! (hopefully this hasnt been posted already - didnt have time to read thru the whole post)l.

― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:01 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, when I said his verse is awesome I didn't exactly mean he was making a trenchant, logical supporting argument for the song's message.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:05 (eighteen years ago)

of course its corny, its an extended snl/chappelle skit ffs. still gr8 though

― am0n, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:50 (eighteen years ago)

Cham's at least got better white guy newscaster makeup than Chappelle, who always just kind of looked creepy and had a skin tone that didn't resemble any normal person of any race.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 30 July 2007 13:59 (eighteen years ago)

krazyie is a great rapper....

― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 30 July 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

krazyie bone's gotta great voice basically, and i guess that's cool but he is by no means a "great rapper" imo.

slick rick's cop makeover is still killing me.

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 16:27 (eighteen years ago)

this slick rick-cham collabo is underwhelming IMO. ricks appearance is too short. and the beat is pretty sucky.

― titchyschneiderMk2, Monday, 30 July 2007 16:34 (eighteen years ago)

ok when I say "great rapper" I'm not putting him in the top 5 dead or alive or whatever, I'm just saying he's talented and he's got a long track record, christ.

― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 30 July 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

and i'm not putting him in the same class as huey.

re: cham/slick rick. i guess i would have a hard time saying any collabo with slick rick is "underwhelming" cause it's crazy exciting just to hear rick on a track, especially one getting such a promotional push. that said, his verse is awesome, especially that "unmarked tailin' a brotha" part.

― Jordan Sargent, Monday, 30 July 2007 16:46 (eighteen years ago)

2. Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry
1. Hurricane Chris - Ay Bay Bay

"Wipe Me Down" is raw

seems less intersting now i can hear it in full

"Lip Gloss," too.

They're playing these songs a lot on rap radio here:

Swizz Banks - Money in the Bank (I HATE THIS SONG)

50 Cent - I Get Money
T-Pain - Bartender
Keyshia Cole - Let It Go
Plies - Shawty
Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls (ARGHH)

not so bad I guess...

xpost

yeah but i'm not downloading a million blog house mp3s either. i like some of this stuff! (i love "pop, lock, and drop it" for instance, especially the remix.) emphasis on the some. whenever rap (or a lot of stuff) comes up on ilm these days, folks seem incapable of saying something sucks (perhaps a subconscious response to the endless, exhausting sociological ruminatin' on the supposed demise of popular culture circa 2003/4) or even just that it's not very good or mediocre or clogging the airwaves unless it's an easy target like a new kanye single or 50 cent or something. everything's "so awesome!!" or at least "pretty good." yeah yeah subjective blah blah blah fuck you, but having spent about 12 hours in a car with only a radio to entertain me this weekend, i can say that there's a lot out there right now that barely falls into "passable" or "doesn't make me want to change the station/drive the car across the median and into oncoming traffic" on hip-hop and crossover all-hits pop radio at the moment.

also i learned there are only 27 artists in the history of the world. fleetwood mac and sean kingston are six of them.

i mean radio has never had "higher standards," just the music's been better. our number one songs now are "it's going down" and "this is why i'm hot" which are great but are no "drop it like it's hot" or "gold digger" or "real slim shady" or even "my love" etc.
plz don't give radio stations that much credit.

Uh, last I checked, there are 30+ hip hop singles better than "Like This" and "Party Like a Rock Star."

Look at what happened to one of the greatest, "Lip Gloss." Peaks at #10 two weeks ago. It's already down to #50.

from wikipedia, at least this second: Sean Kingston was born in Miami, Florida and was raised in Jamaica,he was not raised in jamaica lying self he ja fakin. He is the first artist to be signed to Beluga Heights, the upstart record label owned by Jonathan "J.R." Rotem in a joint venture with Epic Records.

After seeing Kingston's picture (I'm listening to his album on aolmusic. if I'm not mistaken track #4 interpolates UB40's "Red Red Wiiiine"), I was kinda disappointed to discover he didn't play Biggie in the "Sky's The Limit" video.

― da croupier, Monday, 30 July 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

anyway i share strongo's resentment towards the crossover station w/ the t-pain exception but i do think rap radio is at its best right now in the extremely polarizing southern sounding shit, the ay bay bays and wipe me down's and assorted others ... seems like the big crossover smash-sounding tracks (that may or may not actually do that) that i also unreservedly love are pretty few and far between (i.e. "Get Buck"). Can't stand pretty much any of the big mythos hype machine rap at the moment, the kanye's and jay-z's and dipset's and lil wayne's (he's alright from time to time, actually - but only cuz he still bridges this gap.

GENIUS!

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 00:08 (eighteen years ago)

tape store since we live in the same city we should be on the same wavelength re: "like this." i've honestly never heard it on the radio before. i doubt you actually hear it twice an hour, but i usually get a heavy dose of fab & ne-yo, t-pain, rihanna and then a bunch of bad rock i never want to hear.

i'm not gonna go song by song through yr list of 30 and debate them v. "party like a rockstar" but just so you know where i'm coming from, i've heard about 25 of the songs on that list (i'm discounting "us placers" and "la la la" which aren't actually singles, don't play) and i'd say i like "party like a rockstar" better than about all except about 10.
(btw i think hoos was xposting the wikipedia mention)

I like most of that list.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:24 (eighteen years ago)

Do you listen to Q106.1? They've been playing the shit out of it (I listen during the 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock hours). I've heard it at least 8-10 times the past week, and I haven't driven every day.

And we must be listening at different times. I rarely hear Ne-Yo or Fabolous. T-Pain, yes, all the time. Rihanna much less. Yamin a lot (couldn't be happier about that). Akon all the time. Shop Boyz, too. And Gym Glass Heroes.

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:27 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, call it "hip-hop" radio if you want, but that's not really what the format is for and as such complaining about a dearth of hardcore rap on the charts seems kinda silly.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:27 (eighteen years ago)

By five best I mean "Me & U", "Icebox", "My Love", "Promise", and "Tell Me When To Go", if that wasn't clear enough. I might actually take one or two of the newer songs over "Icebox", but the point still stands. There's nothing exceptional on rap radio here that hasn't been out for 9-18 months.

So do I, HOOS, but most/all of those songs are some combination of merely decent and old-as-fuck. There's nothing that makes me sit up and take notice that I haven't heard 8000 times before. And there are about five songs on that list that make me want to punch the nearest person.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:34 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not complaining about a lack of hardcore rap, I would be the last one to do so. I'm complaining about a lack of anything that is a) new and b) interesting. Even the good (newer) songs seem like they would be the mid-level songs at any other time.

CIARA Like A Boy
TIMBALAND The Way I Are (f/Keri Hilson)
LLOYD You f/Lil Wayne

^^^^^These are better than "Icebox" and "Tell Me When To Go"

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:42 (eighteen years ago)

NOTHING IS BETTER THAN TELL ME WHEN TO GO

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

"Tell Me When To Go" = single best thing that has ever happened in history.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:45 (eighteen years ago)

I would be happy if I didn't hear "Umbrella" again for a year. I'm fucking sick of it. "The Way I Are" was one of the songs I was thinking of when I said one or two might be better than "Icebox". "Like a Boy" is very well-written, but poorly executed. "You" is so full of meh that there is excess meh leaking out the top.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:48 (eighteen years ago)

"Umbrella", especially now since all they play is the fucking Chris Brown version that makes me hate life.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:49 (eighteen years ago)

Lloyd is PERFECT on "You." And those strings? AAWWWW man, it's so gorgeous.

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:49 (eighteen years ago)

ONE WORD FUN (not really)
"The Way I Are" = sweet
"Like a Boy" = fierce
"You" = luscious
"Umbrella" = magical

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:54 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry, but Lloyd does nothing for me. I like "Get It Shawty" (also better than "Icebox", now that I think of it) for the production, but that's it. I'm prejudiced against eunuchs, you see. (xp)

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:57 (eighteen years ago)

"Like a Boy" = fierce

Tape Store = the new Lex?

"Umbrella" could get back to "magical" (it started there, to be fair), I'd just not have to hear it for a very long time (AND NO CHRIS FUCKING BROWN) for it to do so.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

AYO TAPE STORE. this is what i heard on the radio flipping between 106.1 and 106.9 off and on between the last half hour:

"beautiful girls"
"lovestoned"
"hips don't lie"
"lip gloss"
"party like a rockstar"
"summer love"
"stronger"
"big girls don't cry"
"big shit poppin"

re: that list, there are about 10-15 songs on there that i really love. glad to see plies, crime mob and "tell me when to go" getting some shine.

― Jordan Sargent, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:29 (eighteen years ago)

I like T-Pain on the Plies song, but Plies himself is despicable and ruins his own song. "Tell Me When To Go" has been getting played the fuck out here for almost two years and I'm still not tired of it. "Rock Yo Hips" is mad cool. For some reason I didn't notice it being on that playlist.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:35 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, and three out of the four rap songs suck.

― Tape Store, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:35 (eighteen years ago)

It's probably the fact that I end up listening to the radio while I work for seven hours a night that has me all grumpy about it. Commercial radio is not made to be listened to for extended periods of time.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:38 (eighteen years ago)

On second thought, no. I get way more out of the top 40 and Movin' and even the alt-rock station at this point, so KUBE can blow me.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:44 (eighteen years ago)

tape store, we're gonna have to agree to disagree if you think "party like a rockstar", "stronger" and "big things poppin'" suck.

i don't even really want to get into this but,

a. we were "talking" about "rap," the radio thing just came about because tape store was complaining about the radio and we live in the same city.
b. if you don't want to read it, just scroll down and post something else. we definitely weren't derailing anyone else's conversation.
c. can we stop with this preserving the sanctity of the snap thread bs? it's alright for people to post about books, pimp c radio interviews and what some guy from the a.v. club thinks are the best albums of 2006, but we cant have a 15 post discussion about songs that get played on the radio?

anyway, here is a funny link, it's a biography of gucci mane written by a women named "joy johnston," and i'm challenging her hip-hop cred.

and the new kia shine song "tech game" on the fader website is really funny. "gimme your full name cause i'm about to google ya" etc.

Anyone heard the new Camp Lo album? (Or the second one for that matter? "Glow" was a great single.) I'm a bit obsessed with the Uptown Saturday Night right this moment.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 23:26 (eighteen years ago)

"Chrome Plated Woman" = the jam

― deej, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 01:09 (eighteen years ago)

the trae is v good

― deej, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 04:28 (eighteen years ago)

Camp Lo is an American hip hop duo, formed in 1995, which hails from The Bronx, New York. The duo consists of rappers Sonny Cheeba (Salahadeen Wilds) and Geechi Suede (Saladine Wallace). They are most notable for lyrics that consist almost entirely of Blaxploitation-style Dadaist slang.

― The Reverend, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 04:40 (eighteen years ago)

If Camp Lo = Dadaist slang, then Hyphy = yadadaist slang?

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 15:34 (eighteen years ago)

the best part about the trae mixtape is it feels like its verifying all these pop-rap tracks folks are hating on are really good, like the 'real lyricist' spitting over 'on the hotline' or 'shawty' just sort of verifies my defense of them.

still not feeling 'rock star' tho the nirvana remix = fire

jordan sargent vs The Word!! With Desmond Devlin

Hey rap fanatics – this is Brit-Hop journalist Desmond Devlin with The Word! - the monthly internet rap gossip page to let you know what’s hip and what’s hop! Starting off this week’s news, it seems that if Roc-A-Feller Entertainment artist Cameron is in big trouble for his recent gun possession charge – keep your head up Cam! Next up, Stone Throw Records DJ, Peanut Butter Elf will be releasing a new CD called “My Vinyl Ways Atone” – sounds awesome! Speaking of DJ’s, has anyone checked out the new album from R2DJ, “The Terror”? If you like Star Wars, you will love this, even though it has nothing to do with it! ….Trouble in Splitsville! Rumor has it that the J-Lo and B-Lo wedding is a No-Go-Lo – say it ain’t so-lo!!!.... Sadly, Doctor Dre has dropped Eric B from his Aftermath Records roster. His album “Oh My God”, will not be coming out but fear not, he has already signed a new deal with Dreamworks, who also makes really great movies…. What’s all this fuss about 50 Cent?? Too me he just seems like a lot of muscle and teeth…. While Kobe Bryant has been the center of a lot of controversy lately after being caught in possession of child porn, I pulled out my copy of his solo album “K.O.B.E.” for old time sake, and it is not half bad…. Say, wasn’t Eminem great in 8 Mile? He also has a starring role on the new O.B. Trice album, “Cheers”. However, I double checked with my sources, and this is not to be confused with the T.V. show of the same name…. And guess what folks, Outkast have dropped another album, and this time it’s a triple CD, including three separate solo discs from Big Boy, Andre2000, and Witchdoctor!! And it so far it sound great, even if there isn’t a lot of rapping!!... There sure is a lot of controversy surrounding the recent beefs between The Source and XXL magazines!! Word on the streets is that co-owner of The Source, Ray Zamboni, showed up at the XXL office and was very upset!! Stop the violence, ya'll!! ….. Chew on this, Aesop of The Living Legends has just dropped his new solo album “Bazooka Teeth”. I don’t know what the heck that means, but from a first listen, this album sounds like pure genius! I only wish it came with a lyric book, otherwise I wouldn’t have to write the lyrics down so I could rap aloud with them….. Until next time, this is Desmond Devlin, and I am outta here!

just saw the video for his new single ("hood figga") and it took me like three minutes to figure out that the chorus was the chorus cause he moves straight in and out from his verses and it's pretty awesome. basically continuous rapping, which is only pretty good, but that voice makes up for the rest.

According to wikipedia, "Good Life" features T-Pain, is co-produced by Kanye, DJ Toomp and Jon Brion, and samples Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)." I really hope it turns out to be as good as I'm imagining it in my head.

considering that he had similiarly goofy artwork to accompany the frigging leak of his first single and shit, I wouldn't be surprised if he had special artwork made just for the tracklist announcement and will have something more big-budget-looking on actual album cover. but I'm probably wrong.

― Preview of the Matrix 12, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:26 (eighteen years ago)

Landing on The Massacre, 2005's highest-selling album, quickly cast Disco as hip-hop's next big thing. He was soon the toast of the mainstream media ("50 Cent Takes the L Train," trumpeted New York magazine, noting Disco's Billyburg address) and hip-hop publications (in tribute to "Ski Mask Way," XXL devoted its producer's column to him). Even the notorious, hard-to-please, rock-critic website Pitchfork identified "Ski Mask Way" as the moment when "the tide shifts" on the otherwise half-assed Massacre.

He basically took out the blander songs and anything produced by Jazze Pha.

His album is more consistent, but three of my fave songs are the G. Rap/Kane collabo, the "Like That" original and the T.I./Swizz song--all of which sound totally out of place on a UGK album, but are much more fun to listen to then, say, "Gravy"

any thoughts on noz's "single disc edit" of the new ugk?

no 'heaven' = no credibility

― deej, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 16:41 (eighteen years ago)

deej regardless of the verses, it seems like they ran out of beat ideas toward the end of disc 1. it's like ok walking bass line, wah-wah guitar, repeat x 20. i like most of disc 1 and a handful of things on 2 (candy). also LOL @ following up a track like "two types of bitches" with the conscious (for ugk) "real women"

anyone else care about the new swizz beatz album? i doubt many people around here will like/ are interested in it, but it's pretty good.

it doesn't even sound like a rap album to me. it's almost more like the go! team with these huge, dumb (in a good way) chants and rapping that's nearly 100% tied to the diction of the beat with no regard for saying much of anything (none of this bothers me, obvs). this could end up being the I Get Wet of rap or something.

the chris martin collabo is nice, too.

A few months ago Swizz Beatz was probably my most anticipated album of the year. My fervor's died down a little after all the release date delays, but I'm still pretty psyched about it.

Nas is preparing to release a greatest hits album this November through his former label, Columbia Records. The compilation will feature 12 songs from his eight studio LP’s, plus two newly recorded songs. One of the tracks, “Less Than An Hour,” debuted on AOL Music on August 10, and features Cee-Lo Green of Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley fame. The track is a new take on the theme to the hugely successful Rush Hour film trilogy starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, and will appear on the upcoming Rush Hour 3 soundtrack.

who wants to try and guess the 12?

― Jordan Sargent, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

(in alphabetical order, obvs. and since it's only 12 songs i'm assuming they're all singles. i got 4 off illmatic and none off nastradamus.)

Got Ur Self A...
Halftime
Hate Me Now
Hip-Hop is Dead
I Can
If I Ruled the World
Life's a Bitch
Made You Look
One Mic
Street Dreams
The World is Yours
Theif's Theme

(pretty strong album, no?)

― Jordan Sargent, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 07:37 (eighteen years ago)

i wouldn't want any illmatic tracks on it and how are you gonna skip 'nas is like'

― deej, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 07:38 (eighteen years ago)

er, 3 off illmatic.

― Jordan Sargent, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 07:38 (eighteen years ago)

well i guess i figure since illmatic is illmatic, he might do 3-4 off that. plus his most commercially successful stuff ("i can," "made you look," "street dreams") plus some later stuff. that's already like 10 songs. i might have done this too quickly. maybe he'll include that track with his dad or something. i mean 12 songs for a nas greatest hits is kinda wild, which i think is why it would be fun to try and predict.

― Jordan Sargent, Tuesday, 14 August 2007 07:41 (eighteen years ago)

also i should note that these aren't necessarily my 12 favorite nas songs, but the 12 i think will end up on the thing.

pick only 12 or whatever is probably best suited for another thread (if it isn't already.)

Talib Kweli & David Banner fume over Sharpton comments

Banner refuses to bow down to pressure, claiming he has the right to freedom of expression.

He says, "I might change the name of my album from The Greatest Story Never Told to F**k Al Sharpton. I hate Al Sharpton.

Kweli adds, "First, I'm an artist and I'm gonna say what I want to say. Nobody's gonna tell me what I can or can't say. What (Sharpton) says is important and it's relevant but I think we need our own leadership so that we can respectfully disagree. But we can't cow tow to them either."

I just received the new Paste (don't ask), and Kanye's on the cover. The article was really terrible (soooo much dick-sucking...), but it had some hilarious Kanye quotes.

"I'm one of the nicer people I know"

"And, of course, people always have a negative connotation whenever you bring up Michael Jackson now. But the positive thing is, he really did do stadiums. He really was that one. And I feel like I'm that one."

"But I'm tired of just winning the black Grammy. Give me the real shit."

― Tape Store, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 04:33 (eighteen years ago)

It also has a semi-review in it...it basically praises every song (except for one..."Drunk and Hot Girls," which it REALLY, REALLY lambasts..."'Gold Digger' without the energy or sense of humor").

After a five-year absence from The Billboard 200, UGK returns to the tally in a big way as "Underground Kingz" debuts at No. 1. The hip-hop troupe's first chart-topper, the Jive set moved 160,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the best sales week ever for UGK and its members, Bun B and Pimp C. UGK's previous charting and sales best came with 2001's "Dirty Money," which bowed at No. 18 with 98,000.

― deej, Wednesday, 15 August 2007 16:36 (eighteen years ago)

“F*ck T.I. I’m not trying to hate on him,” Havoc said. “He’s definitely on my list, he's a good artist, I love him to death as an artist but he can’t f*ck with Mobb and anybody down there can’t fuck with Mobb.”

“I love what the south is doing but don’t get on your own d*ck,” he continued. “New York artists are scared. They like ‘Oh yeah we love the south. I got no problem with the south. I ain’t got a problem with the south but they need to get off their own d*ck.”

“This is where it started; this is where it will end. When the bomb go off it’s gonna end here,” he said. “Quote me, this is where it started, this is where its gonna end. It might not be here now but it’s gonna be here you feel me.”

“If anything comes out of this interview, I’m not shitting on the South, Atlanta, Georgia. All I’m saying is don’t get on your own dick so fast. What is given to you can be taken away so fast and that’s what happened to New York,” he continued. “New York got so comfortable, thought that there were doing this and doing that and it got taken away from them.”

That's an OK Kanye selection but a lot of joints in there I wouldn't put anywhere near his best work (Apologize, Doin My Job, Dreams, Poppa Was A Player, Selfish), plus Kanye didn't even produce Touch The Sky, presuming it's supposed to be a list of his productions and not just anything he rapped on or produced.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:21 (eighteen years ago)

It's kind of amazing how much "Barry Bonds" sounds like it's a Kanye beat anyway. But then Nottz always seemed pretty versatile with no one 'sound' so I guess he can adapt to who he's working with.

Speaker - David Banner f/Lil Wayne, Snoop & Akon

^ pretty good i think

Snoop is kinda in Andre half-talk-half-rap territory here, but at least Akon's pretty tolerable and there are loud horns.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

Now just because I appreciate and respect the Kanye doesn't mean I falsely (and lamely) try to emulate it. It has its place. That place just is not in my house or on my body. Like I said, I'm white and I deserve khakis and loafers with pennies in them. When I see a white kid from Rye County or Long Island or any other blessed region dressed in argyle sweaters and a tweed jacket, I think to myself, "That's a shame. That kid has no identity."

― and what, Thursday, 16 August 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

oh those are synths. at least akon's tolerable and banner still sounds gravelly?

at least wayne has 2007 punchlines to recycle.

Kanye & 50 posing for Rolling Stone Cover, YN ain't real happy:

This just in rap fans: 50 Cent and Kanye West have decided to join forces and pose together for a Rolling Stone cover. When the white man comes knocking, niggas sure go jumping through hoops to please ‘em. You’d never see this happen for a Black magazine. Truth be told, I’m mostly salty cause I have the Internet’s favorite on my next cover and this may outshine me a bit. You think?

what do you think of that fam lay single? A lot of people love that and its basically the same song. 'give it up' is the worst song he's dropped from this but i don't think its awful.

― deej, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:13 (eighteen years ago)

he also said in his last redeye column that they shot a video for 'pimp like me' too, and that track is great

Wow, this is great. The Houston/screwed&chopped hook is kind of played out, but I love that sort of house-like beat in the chorus, it's the same trick from "Watch My Feet"... I totally didn't see it coming.

Does this style have a particular name or is it a new/developing thing? It's pretty crazy.

― The Brainwasher, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

its just juke house, this stuff has been played around for years. DJs on power 92 mix the two all the time - when i first heard 'watch my feet' i just assumed it was another juke remix of some rap song i hadn't heard before. This track will get some heavy radio rotation

Hmm, what are some good juke house artists/songs I can check out?

― The Brainwasher, Sunday, 19 August 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

i'm not really up on who does what right now ... its hard to be, because you basically only hear it in mixes, so unless yr actually working with those dudes its hard. I know boolumaster does some, but dj nehpets is the big name dude power 92 has doing juke mixes. its hard to keep up with, yr talking about a bunch of mixtapes or whatever. I always recommend people start with DJ Funk's Pump'N the Trax, basically dance mania stuff, early ghetto house.

as far as recent stuff, there's this 17 year old kid whose stuff is crazy. i tried to post about it in the fidget house thread but it didnt really get a response, prob because no one checks the fidget house thread.

kelefa sanneh in the NYT on the new hurricane chris' mixtape:

HURRICANE CHRIS
“Louisi-Animal”

Hurricane Chris, a previously obscure 18-year-old rapper from Shreveport, La., scored one of the summer’s biggest and most addictive hip-hop hits with “A Bay Bay,” currently No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. And yet J Records doesn’t plan to release his debut album until Oct. 16. What’s an impatient hip-hop fan to do? (And is there any other kind?)

For now you can find his new mixtape, “Louisi-Animal,” online. (Like most mixtapes this one can’t legally be sold or given away; by cracking down on gray-market mixtape vendors, the recording industry has all but forced listeners online, to file-sharing networks and one-click host sites.) As you might guess from the title, “Louisi-Animal” reveals Hurricane Chris to be a raucous but playful rapper, never happier than when he’s using his adenoidal voice to say something ridiculous.

“Louisi-Animal” includes plenty of shouted interjections from Don Cannon, the host, alongside the eight-minute remix of “A Bay Bay,” featuring the Game, E-40, Jadakiss and others. But no one outshines Hurricane Chris, who delivers a series of casual but nimble rhymes. In the second verse of “Let My Shirt Go,” he switches the rhythm, shifting between dizzying double-time and hard-swinging triplets.

Elsewhere he turns gunplay into slapstick: “I’m from the city where you could get jacked for pulling cash out/The pistol that I tote’ll make you look at it and pass out.” And in a truly inspired freestyle he indulges in some zoological free association (“I am a dog, you is a cat/I am a bear, you is a rat”) and explains why he prefers shootouts to fisticuffs: “Wanna fight me? Well, I am too small/So I’m-a pull it out and make all y’all fall.” Good news and bad news: This mixtape makes it even harder to wait for the album. KELEFA SANNEH

Ludacris on the "I Get Money" beat is pretty cool, it's almost like throwback over-the-top Luda from back in the day.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 23 August 2007 04:11 (eighteen years ago)

luda's still a little too self-righteous nowadays for my taste (ain't a DAMN thang changed). maybe i should say he sounds like he's trying too hard. also, old luda would have never resorted to as bland as "fruity pebble diamonds, they say i'm on rocks." that's kinda yung jocish.

"i get that gu-ap-a-lay, own 12 propertays/ only game i play is real like mon-op-o-lay" made my heart skip a beat.

would anyone be interested in a Best Luda Guest Verse Poll. i was going to do it today but never got around to it. the choice would be nearly impossible.

"some n!ggaz is just stupid, they don't have no business sense... they think cause they gangstas they can do something so they go up to the record labels and be like [look check this out n!gga, i'ma muthafukkin' gangsta and you better sign me 'cuz i wanna make money] -after they scare the label execs they ask them [ok we'll sign you, how much do you wan't] these n!ggaz is so stupid they be like ummmm i don't know... the exec says you want a dollar?? and they like YEAH N!GGA GIMME THAT MUTHAFUKKIN' DOLLAR!!!!!!!!! but these n!ggaz is so stupid 'cuz they probably could've got 10 dollars an album, now they only gettin' 1"

One time Dre came up to me and said, I want to be white suge...Can you help me be white? I looked at this n!gga like, is this n!gga really serious...I told him you can date a white woman, move to a white neighborhood, but I cant physically make you white...

Suge talkin about Prince:

"I seen Prince (The Artist) up in the clubs a few times and I hollered at him. Then the mutha****a was walkin' around with 'slave' written on his face. He was sayin' that he didn't want to **** with people at record labels. He should have stayed ghetto instead of runnin' back to Arista with his head between his legs."

Interviewer: "You`re free, walk in the streets, you walk into a party, standing in there is Puffy, Dre Snoop...what do you say?"

Suge: "You know I ain`t goin` to those type of party's...you know, I`m straight!"

"crooked i's album will be released" -suge knight

SOURCE (DECEMBER 2001):

"Matter of fact, even when he [Eazy-E] made all his muthafukkin` money, he still left his mama there (Compton). I guess that`s why god came and took him. He took care of that white boy Jerry, but didn`t take care of his own mama."

and again on howard stern he said dr.dre has a tatto on his ass cheeks that says WOW on it and that the W's were on the asscheeks...andsuge at pne point said he was changing and while in his boxers dr. dre was staring

WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW:

Wendy Williams: Since you and Snoop both live in L.A., are there places you both can & can't go?

Suge : There absolutely are. I can go anywhere I want, and Snoop can't go anywhere without 20 bodyguards

On Snoop:
"I'm just wondering how much money Priority will take from him on his new record. He need that money for lung cancer treatment."

"It's kinda hard to even go shopping, with Andre calling the police and snitching and stuff. Getting protection orders and stuff."-XXL

Q: Suge, if you knew who shot Tupac and who shot the Notorious B.I.G., would you tell the police?

A: Absolutely...not. It's not my job to helping the police find killers.

Suge Knight:"Everybody know when your dealing with me you gonna get the truth because that's what I'm about. I already saw 8 Miles and yeah I'm proud to say I bought the bootleg because first of all I'm a real ghetto n!gga and second, I don't believe in supporting capitalism by coporate America of our hip-hop culture. I laugh my guts out everytime I see the updated version of Elvis Presley dance around his videos like a clown then the next minute he want to be serious and all violent. Eminem in my eyes is money-making character master-minded by Dre & Jimmy Iovine to make him feel invincible in culture that us blacks worked hard to build. Nobody back in the '80s when this **** first started would have predicted that at one time or another that a '******' or wannabe ***** as I like to call him would be the number rapper. Disrespecting the woman who gave birth to you ain't cool at all. This kid loves to portray himself like a violent guy who's a threat to society but in reality he's getting paid by a culture who is feeding into his gimmick. But it all goes back to Dre because Dre is basically the master of having people believe he's something he's not. There's some rumors going around in the industry regarding Em's sexual preference and I have people working for me to help bring this innuedo to life if it's true. Haha. Look out for Eminem's second bring screen endeavor very soon called "8 Inches" starring him and some Aftermath's finest, hahaha."

"I asked Jerry Heller for the contracts, and he wouldn`t let me see them. I went to his office one day, and he was gone, but had some muthafukkaz up there who was supposed to stop me. I didn`t hurt nobody, just made his boys get on they hands and knees, walk around like a dog, you know. Fukkin` wit `em. Finally Jerry called and said `OK, I`ll meet with you, just don`t hurt me.´"

SUGE ON THE XZIBIT ALTERCATION AT THE IN DA CLUB VIDEO SHOOT

"Dre's little Mexican buddy there? Yeah, I like him. I actually did see him a few times but what we talked about is between me and him."

If me and Puffy Combs were on a deserted island together, it would be cool. I wouldn't have to tell him nothing. He would get the fish, cook the fish, get the firewood, start the fire."

"me and JFK Jr. used to through the football around"

"ill give you a new mercedes if you cut snoops hair"

SUGE ON 50 CENT

How could you be from the ghetto and be a rat?
Suge Knight

XXL: Speaking of Dre, you were there for what went down at last years Vibe Awards?

Suge: I seen dude hit Dre three or four times. Not cool. Slapped him in front of his wife. Now that was a sight to see.

HOWARD STERN SHOW

HS: who you at war with with now suge.............50 cent

Suge:naw I like 50 cent I suport him

HS: Really? but he's with beefing with ja ain't ja your guy who's side your taking?

Suge:I'ma tell you like this I don't play both sides I'ma ride with who I ride with

HS: so aight so you got snoop dogg, dr dre & 50 cent let me know I'll contact them lets get this going

Sugek you bring dre down here bring alize ummm snoop dog or as ja would say the B!tch with curles bring any body I will kick they ass and all the proceeds from me whoopin their asses will go to the kids

On future plans for Tha Row.......... "We might do some rock, white cats steal our music, we gon' do some stealin' ourselves"

Interview for Premium Networks:

-What's your relationship at the moment with Dr. Dre?
"The thing is, I don't have anything against Andre. What Andre did was what you call a ***** move. He went to my PO and lied. He's trying to take me away from my kids again. So that's a *****. They put another condition on my parole because this guy goes and says that he fears for himself and all his cowardly acts. And so he went out to get a restraining order. But I'm not pissed. It's more like disappointed that he's being such a *****. Because I thought I taught him better than that."

When Suge got out of Prison he was invited to USC to do a business type of speech for the students there......

When he got on stage and behind the podium he lit up a cigar and told the students and other guests:

"Don't listen to your Teachers because if they were that smart they would be running successful companies not teaching"

"Everyone in the Industry fukked Chili(TLC), she gets on her knees more than a nun in church"

Then he talked about how Usher tried to defend his girl (chili) and how he(suge) punked him.

wendy williams:do u really have a x-rated video of j-lo?

suge:"ooooooh oooooooh*puffs on cigar*..."you call me liar and ima have to prove myself"

"When Snoop came to me he was Snooper Duper and he had more of a Special Ed look...If you look at his first video you will see that..It was me that told him to grow his hair out."

"if u don't want the producer dancin all in the videos......come to death row"

"I remember at the MTV awards. Snoop went to a New York radio station and said it was 'Pac with the East Coast-West Coast bull****, not him. Snoop said he would do a song with Puffy, Biggie or anybody. 'Pac went crazy when he heard it on the radio. He was like, 'I'm covering this mutha****a's back when he was out there shooting that video for "New York, New York." Mutha****as shot up the trailer. They was cryin'. I went and smashed for them. I'm doing all this good, and here he is speakin' about hookin' up with my enemies? Me and him gotta get down.' This is what 'Pac told me. 'Pac went back and wrote a whole 'Hit 'Em Up' version of his dissin' Snoop, from beginning to end. But I ain't never put it out because of the simple fact that I thought 'Pac was angry then and might have just been talkin' because he was pissed off. I have no intention of puttin' it out, but it's there."

When questioned about Daz's supoosed 'Death Row Killa' album and Puff bein on it.........

S. KNIGHT - Look dogg I'll tell you this now, there's no way in hell Puffy will be on that record. And if he is, well there's no, no, no, no way that he'll be saying anything about me or my record label. They might have some little skit where he's saying something, but you can bet right now he won't be throwing no disses out there. Puffy is one man I know is a scared little negroe. What you gotta understand is, I've tried to meet this guy like four times since I been out of jail. In New York, I said come down, let's talk. But nothing. I mean I wanted to sit down and talk with this guy in the middle of Manhattan in a damn restaurant and still this guy dont wanna see me.

"A lot of these mutha****as let these white executives pump them up. But when Dre gets into a fight or beatdown, Jimmy Iovine is not gonna get outta' bed and go fight for Dre, is he?"

"I would like to educate thug n!ggas on some million-dollar game: When Steve Stoute wants to get one dollar, he has to ask Jimmy for it. I bet you that when they was thinking about putting Puffy in jail, Clive Davis called up and said , 'Let's try to work something out because this n!gga has to pay me back all my money."

Speaking to urban magazine THE SOURCE just before his latest spell in jail, Knight explained, "I'm into wildlife so I ride horses to the point where at night, I chase coyotes and mountain lions. I **** around"

Those (Ruthless Records) contracts were like the days of Chuck Berry and Little Richard, when the acts had to tap-dance for a deal, like strippers with $20 in their G-string."

Tupac was laughing and smoking a cigarette on the way to the hospital". - Suge BET interview right after Pac passed

Suge said Pac couldn't even really talk and was half passed out but squeeked out "Suge....don't let that *** put his mouth on me...."and passed out.

"...There would be times,I'd be changing in front of Dre an' ****,and you know he could have been lustin' after me."

SPEAKING ON SNOOP DOGG AGAIN

He continues, "Any way you want to handle it, let's handle it. Keep the police out the business. A boss is supposed to go get down with the boss. So that mean he supposed to tell his people to hold up, I'ma tell my people to hold up, and we could make a circle, and we get down.

"And believe me, after that, we'll see who the ***** is. We can do this anytime, anywhere... except for at the police station or on camera."

― max, Sunday, 26 August 2007 02:41 (eighteen years ago)

just got back from rock the bells

first off the whole thing was kinda fucked from the beginning was supposed to be outdoors in the metrodome parking lot, woulda been nice was hella good weather today...but i guess it wasn't selling so they moved it to this cheesy ass new mega nightclub called the myth in (whoop-de-whoop) maplewood.

traffic was fucked so we were late, got in caught about half of pharoahe who went on early because (AS THEY NEGLECTED TO TELL ANYONE UNTIL YOU GOT IN) slum village and mf doom were no shows.

pharoahe was alright, too much of that singing r&b shit he does on his new one, but simon says was the last song that was hype. had a kinda cheesy live band w/him.

GOD BLESS SUPERNATURAL. yeah he's some washed old freestyle dude but goddamn he pretty much singlehandedly saved this show. because of doom and slum, he played 2 FULL sets all nonstop freestyling. plus, he got on and tried to keep the crowd hyped between every set. fucking hard working dude...plus, his gimmicks are cheesy but in a live environment they KILLED..he did imitations of slick rick, busta, and biggie on that "3 MCs" song...best part was when he ventured into the crowd and had people hand him things like lighters, cups whatever and worked them into his freestyle on the fly....some chick took off her panties and handed him her thong, he was ever surprised by that.

the whole night the sound SUCKED HORRIBLY. fucking terrible. all you could hear was these massive subs, like hitting your chest, louder than any show i've ever been to. terrible, muddled vocal levels, couldn't hear shit. really frustrating.

talib came on...he was fine, kinda boring as i guess i'm not too surprised, did that "shot holes in the sky til she bled sunshine" song i like off the black star record...his voice and flow really suffered in the bad sound, because he talks fast and his voice doesn't really cut through the mix which didn't help....strong arm steady (phil the agony, krondon and some other dude) came out, cuz i guess they are signed to his label...good for what i could hear, but the mix sucked again.

Nas was next...game out in a t-shirt with bobby seale or whoever from the black panthers sitting in that jungle king type chair with the guns and a shiny cross diamond piece and a mets hat...set was all classics, long mini-set of illmatic stuff...got yourself a gun, made you look, if i ruled the world, street dreams, hate me now, get down, one mic, etc etc...seemed really into it was awesome to see him in the flesh....but again the fucking sound even one mic sounded like DJ magic mike or some shit.

wu-tang - everyone showed! surprise surprise! did shitloads of everything....cappadonna was drunk off of a big bottle of white wine he was spitting on people....method man is a fucking rockstar, always diving in the crowd, totally the best frontman by far....GZA and ghost seemed REALLY not into it...ghost stood on the side of the stage barely doing anything and GZA left stage on occaission....they were all complaining about the sound, and were trading mics around to find one with a good level....rae is really chubby now damn. RZA seemed to be having fun....they treat Street Life like he's a real member of the wu now...rae talked to the crowd alot.

they had ODB's kid onstage looked about 13 or so...he got to sing shimmy shimmy ya with the crowd.

overall it was fun, got to see nas and wu-tang who i love...am very glad i didn't pay though (i have a girl at work w.a clear channel hookup on guest list) if i would have paid i'd be pissed...bad sound, plus some dudes were really fucking bummed cuz they mostly went to see MF doom and he didn't show.

i missed jedi mind tricks and immortal technique.

weird thing i noticed was that immortal technique sold a TON of shirts to dude...all sorts of them spotted walking around...must've been good i guess.

all in all, i don't know if i'd go again, at least not at this venue.

yeah i don't know that much about those dudes other than old 80s rappers upping them a lot

yeah i made it sound worse than it was, but the sound was such a bummer.

i have a feeling with good sound that that nas show would have been mind blowing, he seemed to really be putting a good performance.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Sunday, 26 August 2007 05:20 (eighteen years ago)

i felt bad for my buddy's bro, cuz i could only get one +1 and he essentially paid full price just to see doom and then found out he wasn't there.

kanye in the NYT today:

“I love TV on the Radio’s production,” he said, referencing the critically acclaimed Brooklyn indie-rockers, “but man, at the end of the day, Keane and the Killers have bigger hooks.” Mr. West stops, considers, then laughs. “The last thing I need now in my quest to be cool is for somebody to think I dissed TV on the Radio.”

― Jordan Sargent, Sunday, 26 August 2007 19:00 (eighteen years ago)

(he's right about the Killers and "Somewhere Only We Know" (what else has Keane done?))

prof. nazty fresh Says:

August 27th, 2007 at 7:10 pm

I realize this isn’t really the point of the post, but how much of Whodini’s catalog, save for “I’m a Ho,” couldn’t really be called “vapid and inoffensive dance records” as well?

noz Says:

August 27th, 2007 at 8:32 pm

Nazty you raise a good point but I’d say from a strictly aesthetic perspective they had more of an impact. I think a lot of people who diss modern day synth rap should go and revisit those whodini records.

― deej, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

'making an impact' = he's a dude

― deej, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

jk but seriously how superficial is that defense??

― deej, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:26 (eighteen years ago)

I can kinda understand, if you're not a Missy fan, being put off by the amount of accolades she's gotten relative to other female rappers. But he'd be better off with the same "half the time she's singing anyway" defense he uses to push Lauryn Hill out of the great MC's discussion.

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:30 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i mean don't get me wrong, i have zero interest in participating in another MISSY IS THE GOAT ilx thread discussion but even around here folks have cooled down (thnx to a stream of largely disappointing singles). But still, this whole women-can't-rap thing is totally suspect

― deej, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:40 (eighteen years ago)

yeah I'm incredulous just because I live in a city where the women are pretty much out-rapping the men right now, but if Noz doesn't wanna budge from his position I'll let him.

btw deej have you heard of a Chicago rapper named Hipno? somehow dude hooked up w/ Blaq Starr from Baltimore and is on a bunch of tracks on his new mixtape, kinda does the super-fast Twista thing but he puts his own spin on it, pretty good.

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

nah I haven't, you have any idea who he's associated w?

― deej, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:48 (eighteen years ago)

no idea, couldn't find any info on him besides what i just said, could be just some random dude.

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)

i have a problem w/ this:
It’s just that her empirically more talented and significant peers - Foxy, Kim - are often left out of these proceedings, presumably because of their explicit sexuality.

and all told, is lil' kim really THAT much better of a rapper than missy over her whole "career"? even kim's sex raps are equaled if not bettered by missy in some respects. and i mean, not that foxy can't spit, but it would seem pretty foolish to induct her into a hip-hop hall of fame or whatever this shit is at this point, right?

― Jordan Sargent, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

i mean the fact that he spends so much time defending 'vapid dance music' by snap artists makes this a total wtf

It’ll be a clash of hip-hop titans on Tuesday when Kanye West and 50 Cent meet on the Sept. 11 episode of BET’s 106 & Park, the same day their two highly anticipated albums are released (you’ll remember Fitty said he’d retire if West’s Graduation outsold his Curtis).

ESPN’s Stuart Scott will even appear to provide a statistical analysis of the two heavyweights, the AP reports. But don’t be fooled, there’s no fighting on the card.

Offended? The Rap's on Me.
By Justin D. Ross

When it comes to sexism and racism in hip-hop, I'm part of the problem.

Let me explain. I love hip-hop -- have ever since it first came on the scene when I was in elementary school. Over the years, I've bought hundreds of tapes, CDs and downloads, gone to countless rap concerts, even worn my favorite artists' clothing lines. We used to think of hip-hop as just a black thing, but it's not. The largest share of rap music sales in America goes to white listeners. That would be me.

So I'm not just sounding off when I say this: It's time for a boycott of all rap music that stereotypes African Americans or insults and degrades women. And in particular, the people who need to be doing the boycotting are white fans like myself.

In the current debate over whether hip-hop has become degrading to women and harmful to race relations, I've heard quite a bit from black activists, some of whom have fought for years against the sort of lyrics I'm writing about, and I've gotten several earfuls from black rap artists. But I haven't heard a peep from the white fans who essentially underwrite the industry by purchasing more than 70 percent of the rap music in this country, according to Mediamark Research Inc. I don't presume to tell any artist, studio executive or record label what to record or not record. But I will presume to ask young white customers: Why are we buying this stuff?

Across the country, white kids in comfortable suburban neighborhoods (mine was Greenbelt) sit in their cars or bedrooms or studio apartments, listening to the latest rap music that glorifies violence, peddles racist stereotypes and portrays women as little more than animals. We look through the keyhole into a violent, sexy world of "money, ho's and clothes." We're excited to be transported to a place where people brag about gunplay, use racial epithets continually and talk freely about dealing drugs. And then we turn off whatever we're listening to and return to our comfy world in time for dinner.

But music is powerful. You can't just turn it on and off with a switch. Back in 1989, rap music had this white kid wearing a leather African pendant and reading Malcolm X because Chuck D did. Before I graduated from Kenmoor Middle School, I was ready to "Fight the Power" because Public Enemy told me to (even though I didn't really know what that meant).

But it has been a long time since Public Enemy. Some hip-hop artists (the Roots, Talib Kweli, D.C.'s own Wale) still succeed without using stereotypes and misogyny, but too much of today's rap goes another way: It's full of drug dealing and killing, and it portrays women as sex objects. A generation ago, at least some element of hip-hop remained loyal to the civil rights movement. Now songs talk so casually about selling crack and committing murder that listeners are desensitized to the words' effect.

Let's be clear about what we -- rap's huge white audience -- are becoming insensitive to: crime against black people, drugs being sold in black neighborhoods, black people being killed. I think this desensitization is partly responsible for the absence of discussion about the cruel fact that, according to a 2001 study by the Department of Health and Human Services, the leading killer of African Americans ages 15 to 34 is homicide. It may also help explain why you'll seldom hear politicians talking about another awful statistic: According to the same study, African Americans are five times more likely than whites to be victims of homicide.

So who are the rappers really aiming at? Many rap songs use the "N-word" a dozen times or more. But I can count on two hands the number of times I've heard the words "whitey" or "cracker" in rap music. I wonder: If the Grand Wizard himself owned a record label, how much different would the music sound?

I also wonder what would happen if rap artists started talking about selling dope in the suburbs, or shooting white people or beating down white men. Would rap's comfortable white fans continue to consume it? I suspect the record companies wouldn't even sell it. Like the majority of people who buy rap music, the majority of people who get rich off it are white. That sort of thing might hit a little too close to home for hip-hop's fans and profiteers.

The other day, my 3-year-old wanted to listen to some music on my iPod. Before I let her, I checked out what I had on there. Much of it was trash I wouldn't let her listen to. I've been waxing intellectual for years about the state of rap and how it needs to change, and there I was, looking at my iPod and seeing songs such as "Hustlin'," "Bury Me a G" and "Poppin' My Collar," all of which are guilty of the very offenses I just decried and all of which I purchased within the past year.

That's when it hit me: I'm the problem. It's time for me and others like me to own up to our role in peddling degrading hip-hop. Of course, I can't legislate a boycott of offensive rap, except for myself. And that's exactly what I plan to do.

"I sat down with Masta Killa and listened to 8 tracks off of the Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming new album 8 Diagrams. Some quick thoughts. I heard sword sounds, dark cinematic sounds and driven MCs.

Weak Spot - A track that has Raekwon burn right through the minimalist yet big sounding beat produced by RZA. Not as gritty as we're used to from Mr. Diggs, almost somewhat cinematic.

Take It Back - Produced by Easy Mo Bee with co-production by RZA. A great mid-90's beat that sounds like it would've been great for an early Jay-Z or Biggie to rhyme over. Again a cleaner sounding track that what we're used to. Great bass scratches accent the beat as Ghostface rides it with his trademark flow.

Thug World - Produced by RZA and LA's radio DJ King Tech with starring roles for Inspektah Deck and RZA on the lyrics. Great dark beat with lots of atmosphere. Semi-sensical and conscious lyrics from RZA.

Watch Your Mouth - My least favorite, you can hear it here for yourselves. Produced by DJ Scratch and co-produced by RZA.

They Want To Stick Me For My Riches - Clearly Morrissey and/or Sufjan Stevens inspired in its titling. Produced by Mathematics and co-produced by RZA. Features a lot of singing, in an almost R. Kelly gospel-soul kind of way, which was offputting at first, but grew on me. Method Man shines. Mathematics wrote the lyrics for the parts sung and the singer is Gerald Alston of the legendary Manhattans.

Wolves - Produced by RZA, dirty beat. Very Wu Tang Forever with U-God going hard and taking the spotlight.

Life Changes - Produced by RZA, dedicated to ODB with emotional verses and great lyrics. Takes a sample from the Freda Payne song 'The Road We didn't Take'.

My People Gently Weep - Produced by RZA and George Drakoulis. Samples George Harrison's 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and features Harrison's son Dhani and John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on guitar. Ghostface sounds insane and amazing and the whole thing is a cluster fuck of sounds and ideas that ends up working very well.

My high hopes for the album were tested and got higher after hearing these tracks."

unless he's talking abt this, but damn that would be obscure:

He was the one to start the whole thing. He was the one to start Slayer. He got together with Jeff at first. Then they met with Dave Lombardo, who they could use, because they was looking for a drummer. In 1983, Kerry helped out Megadeth a few times, during concerts, because Megadeth had some problems finding a guitarist.

"50 Cent has backtracked on his word that he will retire if his new album doesn’t sell more then the new Kanye West album.

He said: “To be honest, the process of selling this record hasn’t been fun. I’m happy with the performance, but I’m not happy with the set up. It was the label. They’re dropping the ball all over the place. I’ll release my next album and then I’m a free agent.”

Rather than retire, 50 has vowed to “put his face paint on”, and “go to war” with Kanye’s record label Def Jam.

50 is going to go to war with Def Jam and he has 1,000 different versions of “Candy Shop” don’t piss him off or he’ll release them!"

NEW YORK - Hip-hop has such a negative connotation in some circles that some people equate it with thuggery or crime — an unfair depiction that DMC of the legendary rap group Run-DMC is trying to dispel.
ADVERTISEMENT

"Every time — if it's pimp, pusher, drug dealer — they relate it to hip-hop. Those are just elements of society. But for some reason, whether it's a dogfight, whether it's the n-word or the b-word ... It kills me," he told The Associated Press. "'Yeah, you know Michael Vick — he hangs with thugs and that's the hip-hop lifestyle.' No. What (do) you mean that's the hip-hop lifestyle?"

DMC aims to fight rap's bad rap by highlighting the hip-hop community's positive contributions with the J.A.M. Awards, set for Nov. 29 in New York City. Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, De La Soul, Cassidy and Snoop Dogg are among the confirmed artists.

"Hip-hop is more powerful than politics and religion. It's the only thing that brought black people, white people, German people, Asian people, African people (together). I traveled the world — hip-hop changed people's lives," he said.

Organized by The Jam Master Jay Foundation for Music with other sponsors, the J.A.M. Awards will honor one contributor from the hip-hop community, in the respective fields of social justice, the arts and music. The winners will be announced at the event, DMC said.

"It's not about the videos. It's not about the records. And it's not about the celebrities, that are just byproducts of the hip-hop culture," DMC said. "(The) purpose of the J.A.M. Awards is to show that hip-hop didn't just create rappers, it created journalists, writers, directors, designers. We're putting the focus back on the positive creative influence of the culture, not just the music."

DMC said that the inclusion of rappers such as Snoop Dogg, who is known for songs about the pimp and gangsta lifestyle, doesn't detract from the J.A.M. Awards' mission to celebrate the positive elements of hip-hop culture, and says a lot of the youths are just rapping about what they know.

"It's OK to make a record about a gun, but if you make a record about a gun, you gotta make a record about not using a gun," he said. "It's not about censorship. You can rap and talk about whatever you want. This is about responsibility."

The awards are also to honor Run DMC's Jason "Jam Master Jay" Mizell. The DJ was fatally shot in his Queens, N.Y. music studio in October 2002; the case has never been solved. DMC is set to co-host the event with Mizell's widow, Terri Corley-Mizell.

DMC said Run-DMC epitomized hip-hop responsibility.

"We came from the streets ... but when we got those microphones, when we made our record — we didn't talk about the poverty and the things that we didn't have," he said. "We talked visionary, educational, inspirational and motivational things when we picked up that microphone."

You’ve conducted some interviews recently that expressed some pretty offensive opinions, but you only apologized for your “Atlanta ain’t the South” statement. Any other apologies you wanna make?

Let me say this: That statement about Russell Simmons had nothing to do with his sexual orientation. It had more to do with a disagreement [we had]. I don’t know if the man likes Martians, squirrels or whatever, so I ain’t gonna speak on something that I didn’t see. It’s no gay-bashing with me. It’s just, be proud of what you are, instead of hidin’ in the closet. And if ya fuck boys in the ass, then don’t be tryna fuck with the girls, too, poisoning the pussy population wit’ ya shitty ol’ dirty-ass dick.

So Pimp C is not a gay-basher?

I’m not a gay-basher, because gay people buy my records. Why would I be offended by your sexual preference, unless I’m in the closet? If ya like boys, go get all the boys ya want. And whatever you did that you ashamed of, don’t do it no more.

Do you ever feel any compassion for Bun B, for being in a group with a man like yourself, who is unfiltered and can be bullheaded in his ways?

You been programmed to think I’m bullheaded. I just know what the fuck goin’ on. I know who’s a faggot, I know who lettin’ them girls fuck ’em in the ass with them dildos, I know who really sold dope, I know who didn’t. I be in Houston. The only nigga I see [in Houston] goin’ to the mall by himself is Slim Thug. Other niggas, when I see ’em, they got bodyguards around ’em. How you gonna be scared of the neighborhood you supposed to be reppin’? All them [Houston rappers] that think they stars, guess what, bitch? Ain’t no stars down here. Only stars is in the muthafuckin’ sky!

So the only Houston rapper you’re acknowledging is Slim Thug?

I didn’t say that! I said, again, the only nigga I see at the mall by himself is Slim Thug. You magazine muthafuckas need to have more responsibility for what you write and put on your goddamn covers. I couldn’t get on a Source cover ’til I went to prison. I had to go to prison to get on the cover of yo funky-ass magazine?

But, Pimp, you do know this isn’t a Source interview, right?

I know this ain’t The Source. I’m riding on them in yo book! So if they wanna give promotion off the negativity, then eat my whole dick and nuts at the same time. I’m not talkin’ to you, but, like, you gotta ask the hard questions. I gotta answer the hard questions in a hard-type manner.

Anything else would be uncivilized. In your Ozone interview, you referenced rappers lying about their drug rep—specifically, Mr. 17.5, which is Young Jeezy’s nickname. Why did you call him out?

So that’s your opinion? You’re basing your opinion that I went after Jeezy ’cause the same number that he calls himself is the same number that I used in my interview?

Uh, yeah, he’s the only person I know that calls himself Mr. 17.5. So, yeah, I guess you can say I assumed that’s who you were referring to. But was I wrong?

First of all, Jeezy is a cold muthafucka with a microphone who, in my opinion, gotta have something in him that’s street or somebody street around him that’s instillin’ something in him. Now that I gave him his compliment, let me go on. Don’t single out Jeezy, because he ain’t the only one that’s kickin’ numbers that don’t match. Have you ever sold drugs?

Excuse me?

Well, you do know there’s no water around Atlanta. So all the drugs in Atlanta either come from Miami or Texas. Ain’t no way those prices match up. If work in Texas is $15,000 to $16,000 a ki, you gotta pay a muthafucka $2,000 to $2,500 a bird to bring it back to your city. How you gonna sell it for lower than you got it? A muthafucka might be cold and go down to San Antonio to buy it straight from the muthafuckas that get it across the border for $10,000. But news flash: I know you muthafuckas ain’t comin down here to get it, ’cause we woulda saw ya. See, real niggas don’t swap it out. We get ya on the next batch. But Young Jeezy is my brother. I done made records with the nigga. I’m not gonna side with the media against my brother. It’s just that these dope prices… It ain’t even just the South. It’s a bunch of niggas lyin’ on records. Y’all ain’t gettin’ it like this on the East Coast, neither. Just stop, ’cause y’all know y’all gotta come get this work from us. Chuuch.

Crooked I's gotta be older than Plies, too, considering how long he's been kicking around the industry.

I'm pretty curious to know who the "10 mcs who just missed the cut" are. Boosie's just about the only guy on that cover who has a decent chance of really becoming a 'superstar' anytime soon.

yeah 50's verse was just alright for me but respectable, Diddy got a couple hot lines, Jay's I could barely listen to. it's more of an "event" than a piece of music.

quite impressed with twista's album being all brittle metallic tight n focused, but nothing's topping 'creep fast' still. shit is class! ooh also the "what would twista do if he wasnt rappin?" skit

― r|t|c, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

i heard one song off that twista...him and t-pain, thought it was pretty fucking amazing....twista's awesome. seeing him do that guiness book of world records flow shit in concert blew my mind...i heart gimmick raps for lyfe....it's kinda cool how he ended up figuring out how to turn his fast rap thing into a real cool flow that works well on singles and albums...

i listened to the cham on myspace. i was kind of excited after hearing hip hop police a bunch but damn that album is kinda sucky i thought..i don't like most of the production at all.

Saigon, Prodigy Involved in Fight at Havoc's Album Release Party

The video is all over the web this morning.
Havoc, Saigon, Prodigy and their respective entourage were on stage for Havoc's album release party at SOB's in New York when after Saigon finished performing 'C'mon Baby' he was grabbed by the shoulder and a fight ensued.
Saigon and Prodigy have exchanged words in the past so apparently there was still some tensions.

Saigon posted the following comment on his Myspace blog:

'I Finally Got Prodigy....

I know you all are seeing this YouTube video of like 25 Mobb Deep niggaz chasing me out the club...And helll fucking yeah I dipped up up out of there untouched.....

But that was after I snuffed little punk ass Prodigy...They can edit it and lie all they want but , But when you hear the nigga say 'Oh' the first time is when i rock him... right before you see my man rock him, The second time is when my man rocks him... I rocked him first, thats what makes the kid with the red hat try to get at me and got everybody hype..Why didnt they slow down that part? If you notice I punch prodigy right into my mans hands...And fuck yeah I got up outta there...Them niggaz was 30 deep and I went to their party, grab the mic, did my song and punched Prodigy in his face.. (I wasnt even on the bill to perform) This nigga told me to suck his dick so he got rocked, at his show..

I see niggas laughing cause I was running up outta that mufucka, damn right..I think the shit looks funny as hell too...And all yall talking about I wouldve stayed there and got my ribs broken and all that, ya frontiing....or ya fucking stupid..I had already rocked Prodigy, it was time to dip up outta there...Shout out to Big Chris for the human sheild technique, He said, you got em, lets gooo and we went......I toooold Prodigy I was gonna get him...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVL2ChhQEII

Right when they say Im supposed to be hiding under the table, You see right before my man rocks Prodigy I give him the overhand right...Thats when the guy with the red hat tries to get at me.. Thats what sent prodigy flying into my man, who rocked em again...And I never got touched at all, That fat nigga fronting at the end, ya fronting, Nobody hit me, I was grabbed from behind....Edit shit all you want to promote havoc album...P know I got him though...And dipped up outta there..smooth....hahaha... Lets get the facts straight people.......'

― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 September 2007 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, his recent songs have been lame, but if I get the patience to really listen to his verses they're usually impressive. I wish he'd guest on other people's tracks more often, if only because his own songs usually have wack singing on them, I don't think I've heard him do a guest appearance since "Touch The Sky."

I like the Trill Ent. album, although the one gangsta track towards the end destroys almost everything else on it. Over the summer got stolen and when it turned up a few weeks later they took my Prodigy and R. Kelly CD's but left a bunch of Boosie and Webbie mixtapes that I've been listening to lately, some good shit on there.

I put on the the Consequence album for the first time in a while. I soured on it pretty quickly a few months ago, but once you get past the weak beats, terrible hooks and cheesy College Dropout-wannabe concept/skits, he raps his ass off, I forgot how dense his verses are with low key wordplay in every line.

Coincidentally, I pulled out the Consequence album today, too. Dude's rhyme schemes are crazy. I like most of the beats, tho. The College Dropout wannabe-ness is the most annoying thing about the album.

I didn't realize this until I saw him live, but the wack singing on the Lupe records is Lupe himself. Also, dude needs to calm the fuck down. Having stage presence and using the whole stage is one thing, but hopping around like a spaz while you rap is ...

a lot of rappers seem weirded out by saying 'the n word' at mostly-white shows, understandably. i think gza pretty much edited it out of his set at pfork. i never saw any of the other rap shows there tho

― deej, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I saw Lupe live over the summer and he was really obnoxious, yelling "can you dig it?" between every song over and over. And he sounds like he learned to sing from Pharrell. The shame about "Superstar" is that I really liked the song w/ Matthew Santos on the last album, "American Terrorist." (xpost)

According to last.fm, "Nut Reception" is my most listened-to track released in 2007.

― Dom Passantino, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

When I saw Common do a show he was using "the n word" freely up until about halfway through.

He said "We're all different here today but there's one thing we all love..." The almost all-white crowd went "muuuusiiiic wooooo," and suddenly he had this moment of realization or something. He awkwardly said "That's right, we all love hip-hop," then didn't use "the n word" for the rest of the show.

from Prodigy wikipedia:

Recent events
He is currently working on his second solo album H.N.I.C. 2, which will be previewed by his upcoming official mixtape The Return of the Mac on the independent label Koch Records. The mixtape single and mixtape video is called "Mac 10 Handle," and it shows Prodigy once again reverting to his trademark braids that he had prior to the release of Mobb Deep's 2004 Amerika'z Nightmare album from the short fade he had from 2004 to 2006.

In April of 2007, Infamous Films announced that Prodigy will star and Executive Produce his next indie-film H.N.I.C. In addition to Prodigy, the film will star Hassan Johnson (HBO's The Wire), J.D. Williams (HBO's The Wire), Davetta Sherwood (The Young and The Restless), Rick Gonzalez (Coach Carter), among others. The film is described as a genre-bending story, though the exact story and the details are being kept under wraps. Production is scheduled for Spring 2007.

Few weeks ago, he was knocked out by Saigon, who punched him in the eye two times.

Hood is only calling you out, not Jadakiss or Styles. What is that?

I swear to God, I go outside and my niggas say the same thing, “Yo, Louch, this nigga, he want it with you.” I didn’t even have the talk with him. Him and Styles had the talk about going their separate ways. I don’t know why he’s calling me out. Yo, Hood, when your stepfather was touching on your body, fam, I went and ran in your house and got ’em. Me and my goons ran in and got your step-pops for you. And a list of other things, but I just want to throw that one out there to sting him a little bit. That was me. Remember, Hood? That’s big homie.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

yeah Jae Hood is really playing himself and Sheek comes off sounding like the most honest dude in the industry.

I've had multiple conversations this week about the meaning of the phrase "touching on your body" there.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 27 September 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

i was assuming it meant he was getting molested?...yeah he looks stupid, i saw some youtube clip of funk flex saying how often they would come in and make him play hood tracks on the radio and he won't anymore after this...same with remy ma/fat joe situation...

Hip-hop producer Hi-Tek is slated to release his new album, "Hi-Teknology, Vol. 3: Underground," in November via Babygrande. Thus far, the soft-spoken producer has wrangled Talib Kweli, Gorilla Zoe, Snoop Dogg, British songstress Estelle and newcomer MC Riz for guest appearances.

Describing his new production direction as "poppy, upbeat and a little corny but still hot," Hi-Tek is taking his new disc in a mainstream direction while being careful not to alienate his traditional hip-hop fan base.

Hi-Tek also tells Billboard.com he's in talks with Kweli to record a follow-up to the pair's 2000 album, "Reflection Eternal: Train of Thought." However, Hi-Tek says Kweli wanted to focus on his own new album, "Eardrum," first.

Hi-Tek made a name for himself in the late-'90s as a producer for Rawkus Records and most recently produced tracks for 50 Cent and the Game.

his last album was so-so for me but I might buy this just off the strength of him going ahead and calling it corny.

Rapper Big Pooh and Nottz working on album together

It looks like Rapper Big Pooh is going to be hopping on I-95 and heading up to VA to work with Nottz on an album.

“Me and Nottz officially decided to go ahead and do this project Home Sweet Home,” Rapper Pooh told HipHopGame. “It’s going to be Nottz on production and me rapping. I’m trying to get Nottz on the mic a little bit. It’s going to be with all VA artists. I’m trying to link up with Fam Lay out of the Star Trak crew and Pusha T and other artists out of Virginia.”

fuckin lupe

"I don't think people got it, honestly," he said of his debut. "I still don't think people get it. I think I'm still a little bit too complex, and I still think it goes over their head just a little bit, where it misses a great mass of people. And you got to bring it back down. I think I'm Reasonable Doubt right now; at first Jay-Z was like [he makes the hand motion for out there] and everybody was like, 'Huh?' But it was still ... some of the stuff was still relevant enough to everybody where everybody could relate to it, just because it was a good record, but the actual core was like, 'Yo, this kid is weird,' you know?

"You gonna have mad poppy beats," he added of his upcoming project. "Everyone is going to dance to them. But when you listen to the records, it's kind of ... you can enjoy it, but wondering, 'Should I really be dancing to this record?' "

― Jordan Sargent, Saturday, 29 September 2007 23:00 (eighteen years ago)

You get the feeling that maybe Jay-Z knows the "truth" that it's all been said. It may well be true, but it weighs down his art like an anchor. Meanwhile, Lil Wayne burns on.

ugh I'm not even gonna listen to that.

"I'm So Hood" remix is kinda dope, and I hated the original. At least, the first half with Jeezy/Luda/Busta/Big Boi all doing crazy doubletime flows is awesome, then Weezy's verse is all lethargic and shitty and everyone after him is boring too:
http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=14348

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 03:17 (eighteen years ago)

Agree with you on every point regarding the "I'm So Hood" remix Alex. I think I'm most impressed with Jeezy's sped up flow. It's almost like from Weezy on, the verses were recorded in halftime or something. It doesn't work.

― matt2, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 13:58 (eighteen years ago)

hopefully this + his 'i get money' remix means luda's turning the clock back to 2001-2003.

― Jordan Sargent, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 14:01 (eighteen years ago)

yeah Luda getting hungry with the remixes lately is kinda exciting, hope it leads to better solo stuff. I hated Jeezy's last album but his remix spots lately (especially "Money In The Bank") have earned him back some of my respect.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

altho since 'moneymaker' and 'runaway love' were like his biggest hits ever, i doubt it.

― Jordan Sargent, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 14:10 (eighteen years ago)

Luda seems like he's slowly drifted into the same space as guys like Snoop Dogg, where he still has hits, still sells roughly as much as T.I. or Wayne or whoever's hot at the moment, still gets big guest spots, still pretty much as good a rapper as he ever was, but just has no buzz, never gets even mentioned on lists like that MTV top 10. And yet he still talks about every album like it's going to be the classic that cements him in the pantheon, moreso than even the usual pre-release hype, seeming to completely believe it even as people like his records less and less.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

his last album was worth it for 'grew up a screw up' alone. our problem (as people who want a good rap album) is that he released it as a single and it didn't even chart on the hot 100, and i think we all know that's where his heart lies.

(i guess another problem is it doesn't seem like he has another 'rollout' or 'saturday' in him, i.e. a song that will win him vmas but is still awesome.)

― Jordan Sargent, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 14:24 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, that's pretty much true (although I always got the impression that GUASU wasn't pushed as a full-on single, just a 'street joint' w/ a video in between the 2 proper mainstream singles).

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 3 October 2007 14:25 (eighteen years ago)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdwwz_BrkBY

props to T.I. for making a video for the hardest song on the album, maybe this means that terrible song w/ Eminem won't be a single after all.

WHAT RACE IS THAT MUTHAF**KA?! (THE RAPPER RACE GAMESHOW)

"Internet b-boys wanna know what race I am/ black white or spanish, you figure it out/ learn how to rhyme off line and take the dick out ya mouth" (J-Zone, 2001)

"Some debate about my race or may think I'm a mutt, no/ y'all act like y'all never seen no light skinned brothers..." (J-Zone, 2006)"Hell no ho, me and Zone won't answer race questions, faggots/ We in the detergent aisle cause we far from crackas" (Celph Titled, 2006)

Here we go again. At every show I do or public appearance I make, in youtube comments sections, on message boards, in my email box...The race questions and debates. They used to be amusing (the fact some people spent so much time on them as opposed to getting paid, laid, an education or their own success), but now they're getting annoying. Speaking to other "what the fuck is he?" and mis-diagnosed artists like Celph Titled, Louis Logic and Danger Mouse...it seems that although I have this problem the most, we all get pretty tired of it. Despite answering the questions in numerous interviews and in songs, it just seems to get worse. Once again something irrelevant takes on more importance than the music itself.

Am I funny looking? Fuckin A right! My name is Kill Pretty and don't you dare get it twisted, hoe. Handsome Heartthrob is never me...EVER! And I can see people being confused, but even when I answer the questions...it just doesn't stop. Somebody actually asked if my Grandmother (who is brown skinned) is really my Grandmother...hahaha wow. I live in a neighborhood thats mostly Black Caribbean, so you may see somebody that looks like me more often (just not as funny looking). But you see all different skin and hair colors, features, etc. and they're not necessarily a product of mixed race parents or grandparents. That's just how it works. Enough genietics I ain't no damn scientist.

Pete Rock and Heavy D are cousins. Think about that. I normally wouldn't bother to entertain retarted shit like this (I held it off for 8 years), but people can't seem to let it go. In message board forums and various name drops on the internet, I've been labled Black, mixed, Mexican, White, Chinese, Uzbekastanian, Eskimo, one of the best Latino producers, one of the funniest White rappers and of course "it don't matter, he sucks anyway". I love that one...Mwah!

So (insert drumroll) without further ado...I present the "what the fuck is he?" Rapper Race Chart!!!(Insert Game Show styled Theme Music here)

Here are our contestants-

J-ZONE: BLACK (and funny looking)

CELPH TITLED: CUBAN (with a flawlessly perfect beard)

LOUIS LOGIC: HALF BLACK/ HALF PUERTO RICAN (and little kids think he's Lenny Kravitz in the airport)

DANGER MOUSE: BLACK (and verrrry successful. making way more $$$ than you. green is the ONLY color that matters!)

MAJIK MOST: ITALIAN (and loves donkey ass and moonlights as a dolphin trainer)

MIGHTY CASEY: HALF WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN/ HALF BLACK JAMAICAN (and makes funny ass songs about White Girls)

waiting on confirmation from more "what the fuck are they?" rappers...more names to be added very soon...There's the truth once and for all...and we're all proud of our races, whatever they are. But all that matters is the music, so go back to saying we suck as artists anyway. We like that...

The fact that Jay-Z is a New York City boy who grew-up hearing hustler legends about uptown characters like Lucas and Nicky Barnes truly comes out in songs like the hardcore head bop of “Rock Boys” and the equally hot “Pray.” Both tracks, produced by Puffy and the Hitmen (who have five songs on the album), have the kind of superfly swagger that is pure 125th Street.

The Frank Lucas of Jay-Z’s imagination combined with the stark realism of his own autobiography reshapes the character in a kind of musical/textual metamorphous that is truly inspiring. American Gangster is what us Jay-Z fans who once rocked “Cashmere Thoughts,” “D’evils” and “Song Cry” have been waiting for since he first announced he was going back to rock the mic.

haha yeah, I noticed that too. but then, I think "Ignorant Shit" is one of the best things Jay's done in the past 5 years, so I kinda wouldn't mind that song getting more shine. really does lend credence to the theory that a lot of this album is gonna be thrown together old shit (the rumor that "Blue Magic" is a Kingdom Come outtake).

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 4 October 2007 12:56 (eighteen years ago)

Boise cops tell TMZ Wayne was arrested immediately following his concert Friday night at Boise's Qwest Arena. We're told he was picked up on a felony warrant out of Fulton County, Ga., for a felony possession of drugs charge. Authorities from Georgia contacted Idaho police and gave them the heads up about the warrant.

Cops tell us he was very cooperative and was arrested without incident. He is now in protective custody pending an arraignment and extradition hearing, which will take place Monday afternoon.

It's been said a bunch of times already, but noone's even faulting Lupe for flubbing the lines, if you watched it you probably wouldn't have even noticed it. OkayPlayerHaters only jumped on him for it because he'd made a big deal out of not listening to Tribe before, and it would've blown over pretty quickly if he hadn't rushed to his own defense and said a bunch of dumb shit.

Belo from Do or Die just pled guilty to murder

― deej, Friday, 12 October 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

Belo, one-third of the Chicago rap trio Do Or Die, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in Cook County court today (October 11) as part of a plea agreement and is facing 5 years behind bars.

Belo was accused of shooting and killing nineteen year old Raynard Pinkston in 2002 after a dispute over drug sales.

According to The Chicago Tribune, Belo received a ten year sentence for entering the guilty plea but he is more likely to serve five years. He was initially charged with six counts of first-degree murder.

Belo, 35, is scheduled to be sentenced on November 8th.

Assistant State Attorney Karen Kerbis revealed that Belo’s sentencing was delayed because of arrangements for the care of the rapper’s child. Belo’s girlfriend, Felicia Hamilton, was convicted in April and sentenced to five years in prison for witness tampering in the case.

Do or Die are well known for their 90’s hit single, “Po Pimp”, which helped break Twista’s career.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 14 October 2007 03:31 (eighteen years ago)

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Rapper T.I. was arrested Saturday as he allegedly tried to add three machine guns and two silencers to what authorities said was an "arsenal" of weapons that, as a convicted felon, he was not allowed to own.

The entertainer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was arrested without incident in midtown Atlanta, Georgia.

The entertainer, 27, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was taken into custody about 2:30 p.m. in Atlanta as he accepted delivery of the guns and silencers, the Department of Justice said in a statement.

Three other guns were found in the vehicle he was driving, authorities said, and police executing a search warrant at his home in suburban College Park, Georgia, found six additional guns, five of them loaded, in his bedroom closet.

Ja Rule is on ROIDS! holy shit. Also, his video has lots of hot chicks.

I like that Rhianna club song a lot. the kind of techno don't stop the music one.

On Friday night at New York's Roseland Ballroom, Nas announced the title of his next album: He said it will be called "Nigga" and released in December. A source close to the project confirmed the name on Saturday.

Personal life

Cassidy has a son whose name is Cassidy and a fiancee[28]. He has a stepfather named Tony and a brother named Terrence[29]. He also considers R&B-Singer Tyrese his brother. [30]. Cassidy has a brother-sister type relationship with Brittany "Bre" Scullark from America's Next Top Model, Cycle 5.

most tracklists for the Cass album don't have "You Already Know" on it. that song is great, though, I love the whole conceit of him and Beans doing the song and then Fabolous just stumbles into the booth and starts rhyming too. I don't think "It Is What It Is" is on the album either and that one sounded incredible for the 2 weeks it had a buzz.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 18 October 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

The Wu-Tang Clan have pushed the release of 8 Diagrams back from Dec. 4 to Dec. 11 so as to avoid conflict with the release date of Ghostface's The Big Dough Rehab.

RZA on the latest delay: "We didn't have him move, we moved ... I think that shows the kind of bigger men we could be. Ghost is my brother, I love him to death. But we're in this business, and it's hard to kind of discern what's right and what's wrong. ... But I will say that, when it comes to a Wu-Tang Clan album, I plan on making it a 60-, 90-day type of schedule. ... It turned out to be a 200-day schedule ... and I didn't want to wait until next year."

Speaking of taking shots, there’s a certain veteran Def Jam artist who continues to blame you for his recent sales problems. Are you surprised at what LL’s been saying?

You can market to death. The people ultimately decide. And the people are not saying that was a great album they missed. Let’s be honest with each other. Are the people saying, “That’s a great album we missed”? No one is saying that.

"Nas knows what he's doing. He's a smart brother. He keeps his name in the game," said Method Man. "Last year, when he put out 'Hip Hop Is Dead', I was being interviewed, everybody was asking me what I thought about his album. ... I think it's too much emphasis on just the word. I know a word worse than 'nigger': Darfur. Real talk. I'd like to see Reverend Al take a walk out there. Let's stop focusing on the wrong shit."

[Tony Yayo]
You can catch me in public housing, wit' bundles of D
Or in the Santa Monica mountains, bundled up to ski
Since, time is money, I rhyme on the clock
And walk through the strip with a nine in the ox
You seen the ice, you know it's top notch
And when it comes to dice, I'm seeing' shorty to the shot box
Banks stop, guns pop through your tank top
And leave you wet up like a sonar range drop
When I grind, I wear the same thing tomorrow
When you grind, it's Showtime at the Apollo
Damn near every rapper gotta hide sixteen
Well my flow's like a ho that's sixteen
I ran through niggas, dismantled niggas
They mad 'cause they see me in Cancun bitches
But I'm ghetto, straight from the 'hood my nigga
If there's no toothbrush I'ma use my finger
I got so many minks, and so many leathers
The crib is surrounded by animal protesters
I'm a grown man, still livin' like I'm young
With the mind of an old man, full of wisdom
Here the cops come, task force van
Rock so much ice, I'm called Jack Frost man
And while we sippin' on cris', you sippin' backwash man
Your team got heart, but your heart's in my hand
You want sixteen bars, in song format
Or sixteen cars, on your mom's doormat
What

considering that he says it right after namedropping another famous couple, I'm pretty sure it's "Jay-Z and B(eyonce)". Jay and Beans would be funny, but I think right now G-Unit are saving all the gay taunts for Wayne.

Dear Lupe,
I was watching the d-baggz on B.E.T. and I see you think you're better than everyone, beyond the game, preaching with your Jay-bit flow. You think you're lyrical, but you have no subtext, and, seriously, you're a self-conscious Cam'ron. I understand hating the game-- the game sucks, except Plies, but, really-- go back to your forensics meet, because yr borderline herb-hop makes me think you could hire my girlfriend as a ghostwriter and no one wld blnk at u.

does anyone call what is popular today "rap"?
-- pipecock, Monday, November 12, 2007 5:24 PM (12 minutes ago) Bookmark Link
Yes--just because something isn't a particular good version of the genre doesn't mean it's not a part of the genre.
Used to be humorous when black metal fans would come across an album they hated and would say it wasn't black metal as a result.
-- Bo Jackson Overdrive, Monday, November 12, 2007 5:25 PM (11 minutes ago) Bookmark Link
i was strictly referring to what people called this music, i never hear people call things "rap" at all, though i work in a hiphop record store so the people who come in there know what is up for the most part. but it is kind of ironic if people call it "rap" as the rapping involved is usually pretty awful.

okay if people are done being all like weird jr. high psycho on here, we should restart it by talking about how awesome "barrel bros" by ghostface w/styles and beans is fucking amazing and how i'm hoping this is going to be the best ghostface record since like maybe the first one...i like him rhyming over real mainstream glossy beats.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 15 November 2007 01:43 (eighteen years ago)

I dunno, I haven't heard anything beyond the single (although Ghost, Beans, & Styles all on the same track sounds promising), but as far as him rapping over glossy mainstream stuff goes, Bulletproof Wallets is one of my least favorite albums of his.

― The Reverend, Thursday, 15 November 2007 03:03 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 November 2007 04:29 (eighteen years ago)

i thought that ghost/beans/styles track was pretty good. the beat isn't as glossy as the one for "celebration" but i agree w/ matt re: wanting to hear ghost rap over shit that sounds really nice and expensive.

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 November 2007 04:32 (eighteen years ago)

i'm looking real forward to the Beanie and Styles albums next month, but that track doesn't stick with me no matter how many times i listen to it. i love posse cuts with no hook as a rule, but that one feels like it could really use a chorus or something more to it.

my knife work like a guillotine sword cuttin’
and niggas stop frontin’ til my killa bees swarm something
empty out the whole clip then reload
shotgun barrel leave it smokin’ like a broke stove
yeah and i’m all about that bullshit
the casket, the hearse and the pastor in the pulpit
I kill a nigga at the drop of a dime
just imagine what I do for a quarter
ain’t no tellin’ what I do for a dollar
pop a nigga right in front of his mom
son a nigga right in front of his daughter
and I’m nothin’ like your father
you couldn’t come from these nuts I got
and C. Baltimore suck this cock
I know most of y’all wouldn’t understand
get it… understand
some niggas will and some niggas won’t
like some niggas kill and some niggas don’t
you’s a fake it ’til you make it type of nigga
I’m a straight up take it type of nigga
pistol whip a nigga ’til I break it type of nigga
I’m hard on chumps most of these dudes is fags
put the guard on punks, push the broom up their ass
or the knife like American Me
American Sieg is Muslim, so I ain’t feeling Bush over seas
I think with the wisdom of Malcolm, got the soul of a panther
so by any means is the anthem
you gonna have to cut me out the track like cancer
I can’t stop won’t stop

From Saigon's MySpace :(

I QUIT........

You see I got into rap a very very long time ago, I didnt do it to become rich, I didnt do it to become famous, I did it because it was a way for me to vent about the bad things that were happening around me, It was therapy for me so to speak.....Ive realized now that sooo many people have gotten into Hip Hop, whether the business aspect or otherwise, its not really for me anymore...First of all, people need to know that I am a contraversial person period, before I ever was in a magazine, on T.V. in a studio, I was very very deep in the street shit..Contraversy has always followed me, Its unfortunate but it is what it is...Its my life...I dont try to start shit to cause contraversy, its the media, the press and yall who eat off contraversy who start the shit, try to make me look wild or out of control when Im just being who I am. Everybody is like, 'OMG how is gonna show up to a radio station drunk', hahaha, Im a rebel, I done showed up to court drunk facing 15 years and yall talking about a radio show.. This is the bullshit, hahaha its funny how people listen to all these rappers talk about all these guns they bust and being in the trap and hustling, and everybody loves the music and celebrates it, the second he gets caught up in some of the shit he was rapping about, everybody is talking about how stupid he is and all this shit.. ...I cant take turning on a computer and seeing my name being thrown around in all kinds of ways, Its not good for me, and not good for these writers, I am accident prone for life, I will take a page out of the Wu Tang book and beat the shit outta one of yall niggaz man, youre playing with fire.. Should I post my rap sheet on the internet to remind yall , Im not a fucking studio thug man, ... I never signed up for this so Im stepping away from this fake shit.....I did a interview on Shade45, the interview was 2 hours long mind you, we talked about EVERYTHING from what we need to do as a people to get on track to economizing and everything but you know whats on all the so called media outlets in boldface as the headline, 'Saigon Disses Whoever'...You know what part of a 2 hr interview people replay? Me saying something about someone...If I woulda said, Ill slap John Hardy Hawkins for his role in the Slave trade, they would never put it in boldface or re run it 1000 times, but If I say Ill slap a rapper or something, Its the headline news of the day....Thats ass backwards to me so Im done. I dont like not being able to speak my mind without some fucking clown being able to make a story out of it because Im a "rapper" and "rappers" shouldnt say those things....hahahah I didnt sign up for this..No more interviews, no more mixtapes, no nothing....Im not a rapper anymore, Im done.. Im back to being regular me...This shit is too fake for me, I found myself getting caught up in the bullshit but now Ill gladly walk away...These people are so predictable that to prove to my niggas who would say my buzz was dying or whatever, I would say 'oh yeah', watch this, then for fun, I would just do an interview and make a comment about someone because I knew they would run back like little bitches who instigate something to get the people talking. Then walah, my buzz is back, (nevermind the 10 great new songs i wouldve just put out)..But its not fun anymore...I look at the Prodigy incident, that started not because of anything but these media outlets...He told me to suck his dick in an INTERVIEW..Then it becomes physical, we both coulda got shot, stabbed or even killed...Had I been with my crew somebody wouldve died in there all over something that started in an INTERVIEW. You got this other guy throwing my name around on T.V. now thats going to get physical, Then watch, the same people who instigated it will be talking about how senseless we are..I dont give a fuck if nobody ever does a story on me again..I dont rap anymore, I dont need it anymore... I no longer have to keep pretending to be a certain way to care about a radio spin, or an interview, so I can address these people when I see them like I BEEEEN wanting to, and thats unbiased. NO MORE ASS KISSING FOR ME. All of that trying to be politically correct bullshit is just that, bullshit..There is no honor amongst theives...Now I can say what the fuck I want, when I want, however the fuck I want without people feeling like they have the right to ridicule me, judge me and talk slick about me because I have this title "Rapper" attached to my name, or because Im a "Rapper" who supposed to know how to talk to these media people who really dont give 2 fucks about hip hop or black culture period. How many of these outlets are owned by black people anyway? I know alot of people dont give a fuck about me stepping away, some people might but so what, its a wrap...Some people will say I was wack, I never had punchlines or funny metaphores , but that wasnt my thing anyway....I left enough great music behind for people to understand I was good at rapping, thats all I ever wanted out of it, But now Im back on my bullshit...I have no KIDS, I have nothing to lose..My reason for ever taking it to this level in the first place was to use the music to to try to get black people out of the stages of deaf, dumb and blindness and that was a fight I probably couldve never won anyway...I wouldve given my life trying to save my people and died in vein like alot of people did.. Oh, and to that rapper thats throwing my name around, U must be retarted or like hospital food or something, we have BEEF homie, not rap beef, beef beef I have no more to say about that, its a small world, Ill see him...Fuck this bum ass rap game anyway, its full of fake ass niggaz who pump poison to the kids, make a few dollars and act like theyre larger then life when they know their music is detrimental to their fucking communities, If it aint about sex, its about drugs or violence, where are the songs about getting an eduacation, or being responsible parents and shit, or stopping the Gang Violence...This shit is sickening...........SAIGON IS DEAD...Should I say Ill slap a rapper so they run and put it in all their news section and gossip columns..Okay Ill slap the shit outta EVERY Rapper hows that....I QUIT, Now I have time to focus on my non profit organazation, In Arms Reach/Abandoned Nation, Please if you get the chance, check out Inarmsreach.org and lend your support to the work we do for the children in NYC whose parent(s) are incarcerated, Thank You now I gotta figure out how Im gonna break this to Just Blaze......THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD....hahahahahahaha PROPHECY

remind me again why every rap album ever must be crowbarred into this last month of the year?

― r|t|c, Thursday, 29 November 2007 02:40 (seventeen years ago)

accepted wisdom is that rappers/rap labels are hungry for that extra sales bump from the holiday retail rush, plus these days under-promoted late-year albums get referred to as "tax-writeoffs" a lot these days but I have no idea if that is an actual factor for major labels and if it works that way at all. i hate that system, though, especially those first 3 months of the year when there's virtually no new hip hop albums and all the recent ones are technically from "last year".

― The Reverend, Thursday, 29 November 2007 04:36 (seventeen years ago)

i know a guy that only drinks amaretto & coke, when he's out powerballing. it is the worst thing i have ever tasted.

just listened to the styles record. it is not great, but i remember being real bored by time is money, and this wasn't the case right now. can see myself listening to it a lot while copping out of making big decisions on other major critical event albums. 'all i know is pain' is the moody hotness.

also yeah the full 'blow ya mind' video turned out wack but i forgot to realise it's exactly the same stunt swizz pulled with him on 'good times', the whole waking up in dreamland business. i wonder if styles doesn't have a bit of an ambivalent hyperreal gangsta uncola concept thing, always with his ghosts and phantoms. jacob the jeweller's ladder, oh god kill me now

yeah, not to be all backlashy, but none of his recent verses have been anything special.

― Alex in Baltimore, Thursday, 6 December 2007 17:05 (seventeen years ago)

i the two songs that have been basically locked in for carter III— "la la " and "gossip"— are pretty straightforward, carter I-era wayne. no bullshit warbling, no b.s. t-pain vocoder shit. i doubt wayne would admit that he uses other people's songs to indulge is more, um, "creative" side, but i doubt he would do something like "hello brooklyn" or a shitty, slow verse like "i'm so hood" on the album that's supposed to cement him as a legend.

i think when he knows songs are serious (i.e. to be heard by the mass public) i.e. that song w/ lloyd that he had two verses on, "we takin over" etc. he tones down the things that make him pretty love/hate. i think there's a reason why that dumbass franz ferdinand sampling track ended up on the internet, but "gossip" didn't until he did at the BET awards.

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 December 2007 17:10 (seventeen years ago)

i do like being back in the swing of having cable.

dj khaled must spend like a zillion dollars on every video. that 100 million song isn't that great though. his ad libs make him sound kind of special ed (not the rapper) sometimes, WEEE got MOOOONEY

one song that i hated at first but now i kinda love is "Superstar" by Lupe...the verses are really good once i got used to the Interpol type vibe track and singing...

― M@tt He1ges0n, Thursday, 6 December 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago)

the beginning of the "im so hood" rmx vid is a pretty historical moment in the cannon of khaled ad-libs.

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 December 2007 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

I had a conversation with someone the other day about favorite Khaled ad-libs. "WE THE BEST! WHO? WEEEEEEE" is a popular favorite, but I think I prefer the super-serious "GOD LOVES ME." Dude lists Allah as an executive producer on his album. Allah and Fat Joe.

wikipedia lmao

The tear tattoo is a symbolic tattoo that is placed underneath one's eye to create the impression that the individual is crying. This tattoo has multiple, regionally-variant meanings. In prison it is often used to signify that the wearer is a "sissie." Generally the prisoner is forced to get the tattoo by their "sugar daddy."

― am0n, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago)

I know one of the variations on tattoo tears is honoring dead homies, etc., i'm guessing that's the meaning of Wayne's (although am0n's version is funnier).

I’m really surprised at how un-gangsta Mos Def’s fans in the UK are. I mean, the last time I saw Mos Def was at this ridiculous little club in Brooklyn years ago, and even for an NYC hip-hop crowd, the room was insanely G’d up.

But not in Islington: it seems as though Mos Def attracts a lot of kids from King’s College – which, given the man’s benefaction to the world of rap, is a bit surprising. But really, that’s the beautiful thing about hip-hop these days; no longer can I expect a certain type of person at a rap concert. Rap music is finally beginning to unite different types and trends of people; whereas once it was something stereotypically associated with a certain type of person, with a certain type of style, the genre is opening itself up to people of all ages, race, and ‘scene’. Standing in Islington Academy, I’m thinking that maybe this is due to the fact that hip-hop isn’t something people need to feel shy about liking anymore, which was definitely once the case.

Nonetheless, this crowd is ruthlessly shy in terms of enjoying themselves, and my main man Mos Def is quick to point it out: “You London types are just too damn polite! I want to see you guys forget to be polite and just have a good time!” But, alas, being taunted by the man himself doesn’t seem to stir the crowd in the slightest, except for one complete psycho up front wearing a t-shirt that reads Dead girls are easy. Mos Def just looks a bit scared of him.

Still, the man born Dante Smith delivers an energetic and compelling performance, not letting his disappointment at the crowd affect his attitude or ability to bring some serious rhymes. The hits are there - ‘Sex, Love & Money’ from The New Danger; classics like ‘Mathematics’ from the seminal Black on Both Sides; and some new tracks from the forthcoming The Ecstatic. The latter, featuring some exciting guest production from Madlib, is to be released in February 2008.

All in all: pretty, pretty, pretty good.

I’m really surprised at how un-gangsta Mos Def’s fans in the UK are.

VIBE: What's the status of the Big Boi solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot?

BIG BOI: It's coming along great, man. I'm going to put 12 songs on there, I'm finished with like nine right now. Production is by Organized Noize. Speakerboxx was my first solo album, so just imagine what this is going to sound like. I'm very excited about it, and we just putting it together right now. I plan on releasing a single on December 31 at midnight going into the New Year, cause I want all the stuff to be '08, everything to be brand new. It's going to be a lot of surprises. We just really trying to bring that (good) music back.

you can buy the actual thing.

like the whole album. deej worded it so it reads like "buy samples".

― The Reverend, Friday, 14 December 2007 01:29 (seventeen years ago)

he went from the next jay-z to the last skee lo in record time

― deej, Monday, 17 December 2007 22:52 (seventeen years ago)

pump it up is still a classic
listening to the remix with jay-z was like watching espn with the sports references

― deej, Monday, 17 December 2007 22:52 (seventeen years ago)

hes a good rapper who relies a little too heavily on "hard" stories abt life in the ny metro area and sub-premo beats. still a bunch of sports references on this.

― max, Monday, 17 December 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago)

something about a "new guy in town who's not girardi"

― max, Monday, 17 December 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago)

he's also really good in such an ordinary way its hard to care unless he's already there for me to listen to.

― deej, Monday, 17 December 2007 22:57 (seventeen years ago)

but on the other hand i think a lot of people feel that way about plenty of chicago rap so ...

― deej, Monday, 17 December 2007 22:57 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, "Pump It Up" and "Fire" are great (what happened to JB's little hip-house thing he was doing for a moment? And why isn't he capitalizing on it now?), I just kind of forgot he existed.

yeah man, I loved that shit, Just repping his Jersey roots on shit like the Rah Digga song and that weird soundtrack joint with Nick Cannon and Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe.

Budden is OK but man I'm sick of seeing him looking all sad with his immaculately sculpted facial hair like he's A.J. McLean or some shit.

still love this, and the video. might be my favorite of this year :/ so it's an az track? why the fuck is it on ghost sessions saying "feat. az" or was that just a mixtape (unmixed) for styles? anyway i hope the rest of the new az is as good.

― am0n, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, wow. I'm rather amazed at the low Ghostface and Wu-Tang sales. Big Doe Rehab only had a third of Fishscale's first week sales, and this one came out in the Christmas rush. I thought the Wu album would sell at least 150k. Not that either album is that great.

Super Gangster, Extraordinary Gentleman: already like this better than any 07 album.

― Dom Passantino, Saturday, 22 December 2007 10:51 (seventeen years ago)

It has some weak spots for me, but yeah, it's good. An album cobbled together from the best of Time Is Money, The Ghost Sessions and Super Gangster would be a classic.
