Raekwon - Molasses (ft. Rick Ross & Ghostface Killah)

I got into a discussion about the merits of Rick Ross rhymes. The person I was arguing with said Ross doesn't say anything. My reply was you like Rae and Ghost don't you? Well here is a collaboration with all three. If you can decipher what any of them are talking about I have $27 in the mail I will send you.

DJ Premier

In honor of DJ Premier's breakdown of his some of his greatest tracks in a Complex interview , I figured I would post some of my favorite Premo songs. While your at it check out Premier in his own words.

http://www.complex.com/music/2011/02/dj-premier-tells-all-stories-behind-classic-records/

Who knew "Mass Appeal" was a dig on mainstream radio at the time?

 

One of Premier's greatest beats in my humble opinion.  

 

Most hardcore hip heads will know this sample already but hear it is anyway.

Kanye, Rihanna and KId Cudi- All of the Lights

Something about this video strikes me as odd. Is it that Hype Williams directed a video titled "All of the Lights" and it didn't involve bright lights for the first minute, or is it something else?

Rick Ross Source Interview

During All-Star weekend, The Source caught up with Ricky Rozay and he explains what makes him one of the best beat selectors as well as his plans for MMG who he just singed to Warner Bros.

Ghost and Rae on Late Night

I may need to give the Fallon show another try after this and Odd Future's performance this past week.

J-Doe ft. Busta Rhymes – Coke, Dope, Crack, Smack

This songs is plain old crazy and Busta is the best double-time rapper in the universe.

J-Doe ft. Busta Rhymes – Coke, Dope, Crack, Smack

New Radiohead

I think my favorite rock group maybe on to something. In true weirdo/genius fashion, the group announced they were releasing their latest album just four days prior to its release.How many rappers could away with that?

Do The Glen Beck

Since it is a slow day in rap, I came across the most recent ridiculous rant by Glen Beck. While on the subject I think some down south rapper should start a Glen Beck Dance. I should file this under comedy, I know I'm not the only person who finds ignorance funny.

Dre Day

If you are in the city of Philly come celebrate the born day of the Doctor tonight.

Internet Gangsta

Shout out to the big homie Big OC Diesel who wears many hats including comedian. He hits the Internet Gangsta thing right on the head.

Redman "Lets Hang Out Bitch"

If I had to pick one rapper to run wild with a camera and film him doing a bunch of random shite, Reggie Noble would be somewhere on the list. I think at this point, Redman may have a new career in the making, it may not be a bad idea since his last album wasn't one of his best.

Odd Future

I don't know a great deal about these kids admittedly, but this is one of the most energetic performances I have seen on a late night show from a rap group ever.

Classic Artest Moment

If anyone warrants having a "best of", it is Ron Artest and last night was no one of them. After the Lakers and Artest were blown out by the Charlotte Bobcats no less, Artest was more interested in the fumes of Lamar and his Kardaisan wife's unisex perform. 

Cee-Lo "Bodies"

Fresh off his Grammy performance dressed as Big Bird. Cee- Lo delivers the video for one of the better songs off his latest album.

New Ross and Meek Millz

I have been meaning to Congrat the young homie Meek Millz on his big deal with the Boss. Let's hope this bodes well for other Philly artist. It's interesting to hear Ross and Meek go back forth.

Top Ways to kick someone off stage

1)When Prince commands a woman to dance, she better dance, even if your last name is Kardasian. If your going to kick the it girl of the moment off stage, you should at least be wearing a shimmering gold outfit.

2) One of the most effective ways is the Akon gorilla throw

3) Well if kicking beautiful girls of your stage or literally propelling fans off stage isn't your thing, you can always take the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys route and act like it was supposed to go down that way.

Happy Black History Month

Sad to say I could not really find anything current to update for Black History Month. So I figured why not go back in the day and let Ras Kass tell you some things, if you have a minute or eight to spear.

RIP J. Dilla

I was informed earlier today was J. Dilla's Birthday. I was honestly never a huge fan but looking at his production credits as well as his vocal and instrumentalist credits, consider me now informed.

Dilla played Bass on the Badu track which was one of my favorites off of Momma's Gun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1-dWqqy1A8

Dilla supposedly produced a bunch of tracks he did not get full credit for including "Runnin" by the Pharcyde and "Stakes is High" by De La Soul

When news broke a few days ago that Scarface was incarcerated since October, I didnt know what was more sad, that he was  knocked or that nobody knew for the past three months. I got hipped to the O.G. a little late in life, but here is one of his classics.

Happy Black History Month

Thanks for the support that I have been receiving for the blog. Sorry I haven't updated it in a few days. But I'm back and will try to continue with the Black History Month updates. Here is a video from the disappointing venture Distant Relatives with Nas and Damien Marley "Patience". I have no clue why this video was even released since the alum was released months ago but here it is.

Pun Day

"Dead in the Middle of Little Italy" well you can try to recite the rest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA7DvbWy7bs

Rare Pun

Pun slaughtered almost every posse cut I heard him on. Including songs featuring Nas, Kiss, Kool G. Rap, etc.."Wishful Thinkin" was no different, check the apology to his wife who he reportedly  pistol whipped.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx-VmxPykkU

RIP to Big Pun

Eleven years ago today, hip hop lost one of its most promising and arguably one of its best ever. The first time I ever heard Pun was on 60 minutes of funk volume 1 in the winter of 1995 of Wu Tangs "Ice Cream" instrumental.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQCzz66qd8U&feature=related

Happy Black History Month

I'm diggin the subtle and not so subtle ways that black consciousness has crept back into hip hop. Cyhi Da Prynce who I think stole the show on Kanye's posse cut "So Appalled delivers a video for Ring Bellz a little but right on time for Black History Month.

Mike Tyson vs Gucci Mane

Anytime Mike Tyson has anything to say about anything, I listen. When DJ Who Kid interviewed Iron Mike on Shade 45 he had this to say about Gucci Mane's tattoo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufAxwdfw7Ww

Creative Sickness

Move over Hype Williams, Creative Control makes the dopeset visuals in hip hop hands down right now.The main reason why I enjoy artist like Curren$y as much as I do is seeing what way they are going to surpass their last video. Creative don't use lighting or colors as well as Hype Williams did in his prime but what they lack bright lights and glamorous outfits they make up in premise. The Damon Dash backed group consist of Coodie and Chike who became famous after directing Kanye Wests' first video "Through the Wire"

http://www.creativecontrol.tv/www/#/music-videos/

Happy Black History Month

With rappers getting ice cream tattoo's on their face, it's a pleasant surprise to see Mid West rapper Freddie Gibbs get a life size tattoo of Huey Newton on his back. To be honest I was never a huge fan of Gibbs' music but anyone who gets a revolutionary like Huey Newton inked on his back is cool with me.

Ohio Loves Long Beards Too?

Being from Philly, I assumed we were the only folks that rocked long beards. Then I was introduced to Stalley who just know was a fellow Philly resident. I was wrong!! The Ohio native reminds me of a newer version of Diagble Planets with very jazzy fell to his music.

With that being said..I would like to introduce those who need a late pass to T.I., Kid Cudi and Kanye West's jam. Yea T.I stay out the joint but this song bumps
