XXL Freshman 10: 2010

March 8, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Featured, Music, Recent Posts

Although still a big fan of rap music, I haven’t opened a new rap magazine in ages. I am old enough to remember when The Source was actually worth a shit, so to see the fall from grace in hip-hop reporting in general has definitely turned me off of the current magazines.
I guess [...]

UGH. NO HE IS NOT DEAD!
Horriffic news though – Guru from Gangstarr suffered a heart attack and is now in a coma. He is apparently clinging to life and the doctors are operating on him right now in order to save him.
This is a huge part of my youth here, Gangstarr was a group [...]

***download link at bottom***
A couple times I have mentioned a rap collective known as Slo Motion Soundz.  They are a collection of rap artists and producers from Huntsville Alabama.
I am not 100% on exactly who or is or isn’t members of Slo Mo but I think the best comparison is The Dungeon Family.  I don’t [...]

Obie Trice – Special Reserve Review

Filed under Music, Rap Reviews

Alright I have always been an Obie Trice fan – I liked his first album quite a bit and just thought he was overall a good MC.  One of my problems with him was the production he got when he was on Shady Records…Eminem is probably my least favorite producer himself, and as a whole [...]

Elzhi – The Leftovers Unmixedtape Review
If you haven’t heard of Elzhi you have probably heard of the group he is in Slum Village.  They have had a couple hits, or at least near hits.  They were probably best known for their production courtesy of the late great genius Jay Dilla.
Elzhi was a later addition to [...]

Hip-Hop Isn’t Dead…Right?

FREE ALBUM DOWNLOAD BELOW
I have mentioned it on here many times – but rap music isn’t dead.
The demise of rap music has been predicted since about 13 seconds after the birth of rap music.  It had been called a fad with no staying power.  Obviously time and record sales have prove that wrong.
Now people are [...]

Clipse – Til The Casket Drops Review
They are back! Can the Clipse deliver another personal classic?
Let’s find out…
1. Freedom (produced by Sean C & LV) – What a start. Haunting electric guitar licks are matched with some great drums and what sounds like some violin strings. Also a nicely used vocal [...]

Men Lie, Women Lie, Numbers Don’t: Jay-Z

Filed under Music

I think if you know me it is clear I am a Jay-Z fan.  He is one of my favorite artists and in general is just very interesting to me.
From a personal development standpoint I find it interesting he went from nothing to one of the biggest names in music.  Certainly not without his naysayers.
I [...]

New Clipse Video: “Doorman” – Are You Kidding Me?

November 19, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Life, Music

First off – I am an unapologetic Clipse fan.  Yes I know they re considered one dimensional.  They only rap about one thing, and that one thing is not a very political correct topic.  Everyone knows that Clipse rap about crack.  “Crack raps” have become pretty popular in the past years, and Clipse can really [...]
