WITH THE RECENT TREND OF RINGTONE BEATS AND BUBBLE GUM LYRICS IN HIP HOP I FELT THE NEED TO CREATE A BLOG DEDICATED TO REAL HIP HOP AND THE ISSUES SURROUNDING IT. HIP HOP CULTURE IS A MAJOR INFLUENCE IN MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND THAT EFFECT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NEGATIVE. THERE IS A LOT OF HIP HOP THAT NEEDS TO BE HEARD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS TURNED THE MUSIC I LOVE INTO POP. THIS BLOG WILL ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIP HOP AS I KNOW IT…HIP HOP ISN'T DEAD, IT LIVES UNDERGROUND ~ONE LOVE~
This is a really dope tracks from Common Market (RA Scion & Sabzi from Blue Scholars.) Their new album will drop shortly, hopefully this can hold you over until then. If you like mellow rhymes and feel good tunes, DONT SLEEP ON THIS TRACK!
A couple of DOPE tracks from Royce Nickel Nine. Taxi Driver is a sik track which may or may not be from his upcoming Bar Exam 2 album coming in late August. Damn Royce's Pac impression is CRAZY! The second track from MA's own Mister K.A. called Verbal Murder featuring Royce. Royce is straight cold! There are a few rappers that I will check out anything they touch and Royce is definitely one of them. DONT SLEEP ON THESE!! I recommend copping both these tracks.
So I remember hearing awhile back that Kanye, Lupe & Skateboard P were collaborating and forming a super group, but then the issue kind of passed...until now. Is an official mixtape the first step? Will we see an album in '09? I guess we will have to wait and see. Team 20/20 presents Rebel Music, a mixtape featuring remixes and remakes of Kanye, Lupe, Pharrell & N.E.R.D. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but it is nonetheless interesting. I think if a group were formed it would be guaranteed to sell records and if Pharrell stayed behind the boards and stayed away from the vocals (for the most part) it would be a great feel good album also. Check it...Mertz if their album had a couple J verses on it, that would have to be your favorite project of all time! Yezzir!
Buck talks about well...his whole life...on this one, from childhood to his falling out with G Unit. This is real talk here fellas...and honestly I would LOVE to see Buck and Game on a track again...the best two outta G Unit are no longer in G Unit, anyone else think 50 got a jealousy problem. The second track is Buck's response to 50 recording a conversation between him and Buck where Buck was speaking from the heart and putting trust in 'a friend'. Then 50 goes and releases the private phone convo for entertainment, WTF!? I mean really, who records a phone conversation? Brian McNamee & police, thats it! Regardless of what side you take in the 50-Buck-G Unit Beef...that is a bitch move...no way around it. I used to bump 50 back in the day, but is anyone else sick of his fake-beefs, outrageous claims and honestly bs music he has been putting out lately?
Ive said it before and I will say it again...Crooked is a BEAST! You knew I was gonna post this...haha
