Metal Lungies

5-Year 50/50 partnership for Re-Up. We really are going to be praying it finally goes smooth for the brothers Thornton. We Got It For Cheap Vol.3 would be a nice christmas present.

Fuck the Kanye/ 50 “showdown”. Probably half of these will get pushed back but it’s a nice thought of possibly having all of these drop on one day. Our pick to chart highest? Wyclef. (Sorry Ghost, hey, we are realists.) What’s your pick?

aaaand Wu Tang was supposed to originally drop on this day too?

Damn it, We know we said we weren’t going to talk about Soulja Boy’s music again. But PD, who you may remember from great ML work such as the TITC recaps, sent this in to me and I was obligated to you, our readers, to post this. I didn’t know dudes from Wisconsin had such good rhythm.

By the way, Soulja is on his 14.5 minute of 15.

Yet even more new Foxy Brown, records breaking while you’re in jail, that’s a first.

MP3: Foxy Brown-Lights Go Out

Mp3: Foxy Brown Ft. Mavado-We’re On Fire

Damn Joe is everywhere right now! Here he is getting his ESPN analyst on, If you have time to kill this is somewhat amusing. There are some interesting battles and some completely whack.

While we were recovering from 5 days of partying up in NYC, Eskay has hit you up with Paper Gangsters & Step Back Ft. Lil Wayne.

Now we hit you up with Criminal Opera. We kinda like the song, we don’t like Dre on the hook though.

Mp3: Freeway Ft. Rick Ross-Criminal Opera, Produced by Cool & Dre

It’s off of Freeway’s not so early arriving Free At Last (Maybe having it delayed so much was  to play along with the name of the album?). It’s in stores November 20. Hopefully the sick ?uestlove/Scott Storch produced Where You’ve Been makes the album.

Edit: Per request MP3: Freeway-Where You’ve Been.

Wow, it seems like we JUST talked with Rev & Justine about season 3, now season 4 is premiering on Thursday, October 25 on MTV @ 10pm.

Here is the season trailer:

“This asswhipping is a privilege, take it!”

Just recently, I got an e-mail from Donny Goines, a rapper out in Harlem. Dude did not just send me a track, or a video. He sent me his whole damn album. I loved it. His rhymes are hard and his production is insane. My favorite track was The Renaissance. I liked it because he basically took everything I feel about rap music and put it into words on a track with a beat that is truly bananas.

Donny Goines- The Renaissance (Produced by DJ Static)

Heres the tracklist for his album:
1) Am I Dreaming Prod. By Vee Nyce
2) Never Let My Talent die Prod. By Disco D
3) I wonder what he would say Prod. By Nick Fury
4) I’m talkin to you Prod. By DJ Static
5) Part Ways Prod. By DJ Static
6) Born to win Prod. By Disco D

CMJ is already going on this week now there is this crazy show? It’s def a good week for music fiends! Don’t be surprised if you catch ML there ;).

…The 1st Annual Chess Kings Invitational Tournament. If you halfway follow Wu-Tang you know that chess is one of their many re-occurring themes. Congrats RZA, now you can fully concentrate on fixing the Ghostface vs. Wu situation. Like, now.
