I'm Back

Yo I aint update this in a minute. First off 50 is back and has the hottest song in the city in I get Money. The boy Saigon got a hot one in that Dont Cha Baby. Weezy still doin the thing wit that lyrical homicide track he got wit Game. Also the countdown begins, less than 2 months for the new little brother album, which everyones favorite Mr. F-Baby is featured on. That new Common dropped and i'm not feelin it too much, not to say that its not hot but its just not as hot as BE. I'm still bumpin the Clipse album and the Pharrell joint, plus I got that Out of My Mind. I think the wack songs became hot but some of the hot songs are not as hot. My quest for Nudies still hasn't ended. I need to get some for a reasonable price, Atrium had a sale but they ain't have my size in the ones I wanted. Havoc is droppin a solo which is sure to be hot. This summer in hip-hop has been pretty slow, but its not the same in baseball. This the first summer I been into baseball since 1996. A-Rod hit 500 today, Bonds been chasing 755 for about a week and a half. Tom Glavine goin for 300 tomorrow. Aint no hot kicks come out imo. I wanted those MF Doom dunks but stores was anally raping people for these. They were hot but not $200 hot. KG went to the Celtics. I started rockin fitteds since I got madd free LRG new eras. I have a new appreciation for the skit before can it be so simple remix. That shit is madd funny, I seen 5 feens around the nigga. Also I was thinkin about the skits before Q.U. hectic and cradle to the grave. I usually hate skits but these are some hot ones. I like the T-Hugs cause if you take out the dash imma thug. The battle is on for rap supremacy on 9/11: Kanye vs 50 Cent. Personally I think the Kanye joint won't be as hot. Im not really feelin stronger and im tired of this nigga, but nevertheless I still hope his album is hot. Has anyone else noticed the great programs that been comin on the Discovery Channel, History, Court TV, and other similar channels. In the past year all of these channels been steppin their games up. Freeway is killin it wit that Big Spender joint. Swizzy ridin wit his top down, thats another banger. Still aint shit change. I had writers block but im back wit a vengence promising the best hip-hop blog on the net for my loyal nonexisting fans, even though the reality is that I got a little temp job and forgot I had a blog.

Havoc and Alchemist: The 2 most underrated producers

When people name their favorite producers, the cliche people named are Kanye, Just Blaze, and the Neptunes. I agree that they are three of the top producers doing it right now but people forget two of my favorites, Alchemist and Havoc. They are the two remaining people with that grimey 90s style of beats. Havoc and later Alchemist crafted the Mobb Deep sound. The only one of my favorite Mobb joints not produced by one of those two is Drink Away The Pain which is produced by Q-Tip. These two have been doing it since the 90s and still are on a bunch of projects today. Havoc recently had a song How we Live on Styles P Time is Money, He did Fully Loaded Clip for 50 Cent, while Alchemist perfectly crafted Prodigy's Return of the Mac Mixtape Album. Just Blaze has been my my favorite producer for the past couple of years but I just had to address this issue. They are underrated because they do not work with everyone. Alchemist said that he likes to give some of his best beats to unknown rappers, but people seem to forget that Alchemist has done two of the most classic songs of this generation in We Gon Make It, and Keep it Thoro. Havoc has established himself while almost single handedly handling the production of Mobb Deep albums forever.

WTF is This Shit - Dances From Tha Hood

I'm sitting up in my sisters house the other day flicking through the channels and I turn to MTV and there is a show called Dances from Tha Hood. It has this ugly chick Tweety hosting it. This has to be one of the most racist shows MTV has ever had. If the name of it was hip-hop dances I wouldn't have such a big problem, but why do the dances have to be from the hood. Why not from urban areas? Why don't they have dances from the burbs, oh they can't cause most white people can't dance. My thing also is if your going to name this show Dances from the hood, have hood people on it. In the background dancing there are a bunch of white boys toe woppin. I'm like really. This show is why I need to stop watching TV. Even with all of my hate, I did sit there and watch the whole show and must admit it is a good way for white people to try to hip-hop dances, but I am officially boycotting this show. Half the people couldn't get the dances right Even though I probably won't boycott this show, but it is definitely an exploitation of hip-hop imo. While it as an exploitation of the hip-hop culture, they are trying to make it an exploitation of black/hood culture by having "tha" word hood in the title. I wonder how long can it last. There are not that much dances to do unless they start teaching the reggae dances, which white people probably won't be able to get down.

She A'int Got No Money in the Bank

When you have no money, you make amends to make your money last. With all my opposition to the "Chicken Spot" I decided that I must eat from there last night because of my lack of money. So my cousin and I start our journey to the chicken spot down the block. It was an average trip so far but as we were crossing Linden Blvd, something weird happened. There were no cars in sight but one. As we approach the middle divider, this one car slows up. We did not know what to think. Were we about to get jacked, was it someone we knew, all things possible was going through both of our minds. As this run down car pulls up to us my first thoughts were run, but this girl pulls up, rolls down her window, looks me in the eyes and starts saying "She A'int Got No Money in the Bank". I bust out laughing in the middle of the street as does my cousin. We talked about it as we were in the chicken spot getting our snack boxes, finally coming to the conclusion that young hoodrat girls do stupid shit when they have cars.

Little Brother=The Last New Real Hip-Hop Group

Let's name all of the true hip-hop groups; Mobb Deep, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, De La Soul, UGK,Run-DMC, etc, and Little Brother. If you want me to name the only real Hip-Hop group to come out during the new millennium, they are the only one. They make that real authentic hip-hop. They are not a gangsta group but they are not backpackers. The average teeny booper would classify them as backpackers but they are not. They are average dudes who can rap. They rap about stuff that us regular people go through. They perfected their craft. Anybody that tells me that Minstrel Show isn't atleast 4.5/5 don't know hip-hop. Most people hate on them before they even hear them (which I admit I did), but once you listen to them you realize they are great. With one MC who I would rate at a 8.5 (Phonte) and the other I would rate at 7.75 (Big Pooh), with a great array of Justice league producers, who are they not going to make a classic. I was a little scared when I heard 9th Wonder left but they released the And Justus For All mixtape which is classic imo. Little Brother is the album I am anticipating with the 50 album. All I have to say is that people need to stop hating and go pick up that Minstrel Show and push it to gold, and pick up Getback when it drops.

Why I respect Yung Joc and not D4L

I hate to hate on people getting money, but I hate on D4L. I love hip-hop but they are not hip-hop, while I think Yung Joc is still hip-hop. They may make similar types of music, but atleast Yung Joc attempts to rap. He is bad at it but he is still rapping. His songs just happen to have that motorcycle beat to it. He is from Atlanta and is heavily influenced by that dancing shit. And tell the truth, who doesn't enjoy doing the motorcycle (they even bought it back for this summer wit Buy U a Drank). On the other hand D4L makes dances and then comes up with the song. They get no respect from me. I will admit D4L and all these lame rap groups did do something, which is bring the fun back to hip-hop, but so did Yung Joc and he did it with having some (but minimal) rapping skills. Before this whole southern dance explosion (which started with crunk) Hip-hop was something you bobbed your head to and caught a little diddy bop to, but now these southern people got the thugs dancing instead of leaning back. Even though I give these lames some props, they are ruining hip-hop. They need to be eliminated. I would not want to eliminates the Yung Jocs and Young Dro (who can actually spit), but we can get rid of the shop boyz, d4l, dem franchise boyz, and everyone else who wants to make a song that goes with a dance instead of the other way around. Oh yeah lets really get rid of the Aunt Jackie.
