Slug & Eyedea Freestyle - Wake Up Show

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.  This is freestylin'. Slug of Atmosphere and Eyedea, both on Rhymesayers, kick off the dome live with Sway on the Wake Up Show.  To me this is is battling, two MC's kicking back and forth feeding off of each other and not spitting a written rhyme.  This video is old, but what can I say Rhymesayers is the best indie label of all time...big ups slugo-TBart

Nappy Roots Tracks

I hope everyone else is as excited as I am that Nappy Roots is coming back.  They are one of the few southern artists to actually spit real lyricism.  Here are a couple of new tracks from one of my favorite groups...hey its Nappy Roots Day!

ALBUM REVIEW: Kidz In The Hall - The In Crowd


I had been waiting for this album to drop for awhile now, really ever since their mostly unknown debut album School Was My Hustle in '06.  I have to admit when their first single, "Driving Down the Block" dropped I was beginning to wonder if their new label and recent popularity would cause them to dumb down their lyrics are go more for mainstream success.  Then the video hits MTV and I was almost positive that this was the case, but as I began to listen to Naledge spit and I remembered what made me fall in love with the Ivy League Graduates in the first place.  Its nice to hear an MC with a vocabulary and original and intellectual thoughts, especially over the mostly soulful beats of Double O. The supporting cast was also strong with Sean Price & Buckshot rhyming on "The Pledge" while Black Milk & Guilty Simpson did their thing over the back-packing beat on the track "Middle of the Map Pt. 1."  Other underrated artists include Skyzoo, Phonte (Little Brother), Masta Ace & Chip Tha Riper. Driving Down the block was a little to mainstream for my tastes, but the cd did not disappoint as a whole.  Maybe not to many stand out individual tracks but solid from top to bottom.  I wouldn't put it up there with School Was My Hustle, but nonetheless an album worth checking out.

P.s. This is just the review, I will try and get the download link sometime later this week.

RATING: 7.5 out of 10

Jay-Z to Represent New Jersey Nets at Draft Lottery | Hip Hop News > HipHopDX.com
While Jay Z has helped bring in top notch picks like Kanye West & Beanie Sigel to Roc-A-Fella Records, he's hoping he can help bring in other top ballers to the New Jersey Nets.

After a few years of having a minority stake in the team, Jay Z will be representing it at this month's NBA Draft Lottery.  The lottery is set to air live tomorow at 8pm on ESPN.

"This is very exciting and I hope my nickname "Lucky Lefty" holds up," Jay said in a statement.

The Nets only have a 1.1 percent chance of landing the number one pick in the draft, which will commence Thursday, June 26.

Jay Z, Usher (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Nelly (Charlotte Bobcats) are the only Hip Hop/R&B acts with a minority stake in a professional sports team.  Jay has also been working to move the Nets from New Jersey to his own stomping grounds of Brooklyn, New York. -HHDX

Damn Jay Hov...my man. Hate him or love him he is a top 5 lyricist of all time with a savvy business mind...hes got the hottest girl in the game, owns part of a basketball team, sells millions of records and is rumored to be in talks with Apple about starting an exclusive record label...whats next for American Gangster...Lebron James in Nets Uniform when they open up in Brooklyn in 2010? You heard it here first...-TBart

Idle Warship (Talib Kweli & Rez) - "Fall Back" f. Chester French

supporter and this is one step closer to change.  Obama '08!
