“Make it Fast” is a bonus track off Jay Stay Paid that only appears on the vinyl LP. Both Bun and Term’s verses are great; I can’t decided whose I like more. Remember, this isn’t the first time you’ve heard Bun B and Termanology on a Dilla beat. “Bloodsport” is an album track featuring Lil Fame that I’ve been listening to all day at full volume. I only wish the first beat (the beat changes halfway) went on longer. It’s one of the loudest, most intense Dilla beats out there. Jay Stay Paid as a whole is amazing, if we haven’tmade thatclear already.
Alchemist came out of left field with this one. Both the vocal sample and the tune that plays before the hook sound like samples Madlib would use. Bun B totally owns this track. No comparison.
Random Axe, for those not in the know, consists of Sean Price, Guilty Simpson and Black Milk. I’ve been waiting on music from this supergroup for over a year now, especially since Black promised we’d hear it soon. This shit right here is extraordinary – P kills it, unsurprisingly. Now we just need an entire Royce Da 5’9/Black Milk album and I’ll be set.
Wow..I can’t believe this isn’t a parody or a spoof. This video is so amazing for a few reasons, Most importantly… DMX AND HIS CREW ARE ON ROLLER SKATES. I assume they chose this to get their speed fix because the law won’t them allow to operate those Ruff Ryder bikes. I love the audio/mic quality sounding something out of an Al-Qadea tape, along with the Microsoft Word fonts. Dedication to hip hop: interviewing rappers at a roller rink. Rappers: If you’ve sold Gold in the past, ML is willing to meet you at a mini-golf course or bumper car track anywhere in the US.
This had me laughing this morning, Fab probably wasn’t this mad when his chain got snatched! For all you under the rock living cats, this is a parody of DameDash.
Freestyling ain’t dead, people. It’s great to see Duck Down signing so many talented younger cats. Rock kills it, but Skyzoo and Torae both come off nice. Shouts to DJ SAV*ONE for the footage.
More footage after the jump, featuring Buckshot, Naledge, Steele, and more.
AlBe Back’s mixtape from April had more than a couple of bangers on it. Turns out it wasn’t a fluke. AlBe impresses again this time around, with a snazzy beat and standout verses from Naledge and 88-Keys. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more from him.
Off Pugs Atomz’ upcoming mixtpae, Road 2 the Top. Pugs and Finale are two of the more talented underground rappers from their respective cities. Pugs sounds more natural on this spacey synth beat, but Finale still holds it down with a fierce verse.
On the MTV Movie Awards Sasha Baron Cohen’s Bruno character (his 3rd best after Ali G & Borat IMO) dropped in a jock and landed his ass in Eminem’s face. Staged or not (I’m leaning towards yes, and hoping for Bruno’s safety sake that it is), this is must see.
