It’s hard to believer that it’s been just shy of thirteen years since the world lost Tupac Shakur, but nonetheless it has. Over the course of that time the integrity of music has suffered more than anything. Besides a handful of living MCs, it’s like Pac was one of the last hip-hop icons. You know, one of those people who could do just about anything perfectly. His resume included rapping (of course), acting, poetry, and activism amongst other things.
I still remember riding to the mall the night of September 13, …
Daily downloads of the latest and hottest street releases before everyone else gets it in!
I know that most of you have been going bananas over this Drake cat but contrary to popular belief I don’t think he is the hottest thing since sliced bread. I will admit that I do love his new video which judging from the various reactions on Facebook today isn’t a fan favorite. I especially like the little pep talk that he gave the girls when they were down about 40-4. “Take the D like the champions you are!” That might just have to be a quote of mine for …
Now correct me if I’m wrong but for some reason or another I’m guessing that this cat is from somewhere out in Cali. I don’t know if it was all the yellow and gold or if it was the hood ass video shoot in front of the Staples Center (which just happens to be where the Lakers play basketball and where the Clippers enhance their chances of landing a lottery pick once every year) that ultimately tipped me off. In my opinion Dom Kennedy has nothing about him that would …
This new 50 Cent joint is off the chain. Even if the song isn’t all that hot at least the accompanying video offers a little Something hot and cutting edge. I love the beginning of this thing were the crime scene is in three-dimensional still life. I’m sure there is some fancy ass techy term for it but fuck it that’s not what I’m here for. Hopefully this can be the beginning of more creative materials to come from 50.
Man this dude Rick Ross keeps hitting the internet off with damn near a video a week. I guess it can’t be that hard for motherfuckers to be full time rappers and shit. I mean that is how they get paid. I’m sure people (rappers) are starting to realize that if you spend more time working instead of spending money you can ultimately make more. Just ask Lil Wayne!
This whole new Jay-Z thing is really starting to catch some wind. I really like the nostalgic feeling that Jay-Z’s latest process is bringing to me. It reminds me of 2001 when things were all good in my life right before the 9-11 incident. I’m hoping that history won’t repeat itself as Jay-Z releases yet another Blueprint album on that particular day. Here are a couple of clips of D.O.A. for your viewing pleasure!
This shit here just happens to be one of the few tracks that I really liked off of Kanye’s last joint. Even though its no your typical hip-hop it still has a nice vibe to it. Hopefully your boy Kanye hasn’t gotten too board with rap and maybe, just maybe he’s planning some fire shit in the near future. Otherwise I guess this whole Drake craze will be permanent. And that’s nothing against Drake, my respect for him went from 40% to 50% over the weekend!
Word is that this one is a little older than the other random videos of Ross’ but time after time he keeps me sayin damn. This dude has a crazy flow and if you can’t accept it then you’re probably a over zealous 50 Cent stan. Ross obviously took some time to figure out what beats he sounded best over. Deeper Than Rap is still the hottest rap album of the year!
This new Reflection Eternal track is like beautiful springtime music to my ears. It’s so good to hear somebody back on that real hip-hop shit. Hopefully this serves as another strong testament to the fact that ring-tone rap is finally dying out. Of course the kids out there won’t be able to get with this shit!
Though Saigon has been on the scene for sometime now he has yet to drop an official album. He surely won’t piss too many people off if he keeps droppin street heaters such as the one you are about to watch, or the one you are about to watch again. If that Statik Selektah joint was any indication of this dude’s capabilities then I guess the wait will be well worth it in the end!
It seems like the Clipse like to drop albums like once every five years or so. Though it’s only been almost three since their last effort the duo always manages to cause a ruckus well before they see any shelves. I have no idea when their next joint should come out but things are looking good again for the Virginia brothers.
I took the time to watch this shit last night and I must say that I was pretty damn entertained. I guess this is just a glimpse of what would happen if rappers were given complete control of record labels. Of course this is much different than your average business savvy hood cat who can kind of rap. This is an all out grimy ass rapper trying to run he whole building. My favorite part was when Ruck was like fuck internet promotion. Great idea huh!
I still can’t believe that I actually sat down and watched both of these videos earlier this morning. I’m not sure what was worse listening to Yayo talk about how much money 50 Cent has or him mentioning that the Suburban that he was riding in was bullet proof. Tellin cats in the hood that your Suburban is bullet proof basically means that they shouldn’t waste time shooting at your vehicle, instead just send head shots your way when you get out dumbass. Speaking of dumbass, this nigga had the …
After watching this very short clip it seems as though 50 Cent may have met his match. After all the cartoons, Pimpin Curly skits, and pornos Ross is still throwing blows at the G-Unit genera. I think that I can officially forgive Ross for lying about the whole C.O. thing. Besides we all gotta eat, even if that means fucking with the bad guys for a minute.
I was under the impression that 50 Cent sold his shares of Vitamin Water some two years ago. From this little ad spot it seems as though that can’t be further from the truth. While Pimpin Curly seems to be adamantly against Vitamin Water 50 Cent sees the advantages of pouring the shit over people’s heads in the middle of Manhattan.
Jimmy Kimmel has a knack for asking rappers the dumbest of questions. On this particular episode he refers to 50 Cent as the most shot at CEO in the world. If you thought that Kimmel’s interview with Eminem and the subsequent basketball game were fucking hilarious then you’ll definitely get a kick out of this shit.
