Front to back, 8-balls to ki’s, this mixtape is dedicated to the hustle word to digi skates & broken car attenaes. Mixed by DJ Sureshot, the Crack Music Mixtape passed through my hands and seemed worthy of sharing. Peep to see the tracklisting & dl link.
Prefix is debuting their first Podcast & the initial installment will feature OOP (Out Of Print) hip-hop. I say give it a shot because they’ve managed to put “Ms. Ghetto” and Willie D on the same playlist…
And my other brother Rizoh has 12 Questions for you hip-hop denizens over @ The Rap Up.
Down to current business…
Weezy this.
Weezy that.
Weezy’s the “greatest rapper alive”.
Keepin it 100, nobody over here worships Weezy.
But right now, no other artist draws as much ire and inspiration from both aisles of the “debate”. And we use that word “debate” loosely. Nobody is a scholar of hip-hop. Nobody’s recieved a doctorate in the field. Therefore, nobody’s truly any wiser than the next cat.
Greatest or not, I think we all can agree that young Mr. Carter is a good lyricist. If you can’t hear & admit that, you may want to stop listening to hip-hop now becuase you’re both out of touch with the music & in a stage of denial which prolly began when Black Rob fell off.
As I’ve said many many times before…
Greatness, just like the idea of “classic” albums, is subjective. And one intergral part of hip-hop that helps to push albums to the status of greatness is the passionate arguments that are always sparks among fans. It’s by talking about it repeatedly that sometimes makes people open their ears & give some music an honest listen. I may not agree that it’s great, but if a mass amount of people are fuckin with, I do like to listen to try to at least find the appeal that they might see in it.
As long as nobody’s getting styled on, all is well. Let the arguments continue.

Very well put Gotty.
Dope beats, dope rhymes, what more do ya’ll want? (c) LB
then again,
if I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hatin’ (c) Common
Can some reup that greatest redman mixtape? It would be a very good look.
Just in case anyone has the same problem as me with the DJ Sureshot link, if you copy and paste it, remove the space after the – in ‘crack- music’ and it works fine.
Thank you CNK…that worked….officially drivng my jeep wrangler thru the streets of Harlem with my hat to the back and my hand on my gat…holla…

*Fresh

**State Property I
**State Property II
*Clockers
***Menace II Society
Deep Cover
* Probable sleepers that everyone should go watch again.
Right now.
Twice.
** Both of these are truly horrible films, but still pretty entertaining considering the familiarity with the players involved…SPII actually improved on the original, which is considered rare for a sequel.
*** Boyz in the Hood, which often goes hand-in-hand with Menace, has been excluded, as Boyz didn’t really deal directly with hustling. Juice, perhaps the best pure hip-hop film ever made, is also excluded for this reason.
Add on if you’re so inclined, or post links to more out-of-print shit, but please, I’m begging you, for the love of all that is good and gracious in this world, no more talk about Little Wayne!
Actually, some people do know more about hip-hop than others.
http://www.library.cornell.edu/africana/guides/hiphop.html
And actually some people do have PhDs in hip-hop
http://www.commstudies.neu.edu/FacultyandStaff/FacProfiles.htm#Murray
Forman, Murray Webster. “The ‘Hood Comes First’: Race, Space, and Place in Rap Music and Hip Hop, 1978-1996.” Ph.D. Thesis, McGill U., 1997. 390 pp.
And actually… nothing.
SumthinSumthin, dude just chose hip-hop as the theme of his thesis…his Ph.D. is in Communications, and possibly quite worthless. ;)
And can’t none of those other nigras fuck with TSS.
I was completely convinced that some dude got a PhD in hip-hop, which would have made me mad happy. I know a dude you wrote a his Master’s thesis on hip-hop culture and violence, but the PhD would have taken it.
There are hip-hop courses available at both undergrad and graduate levels, but I don’t think it’s offered as a major or degreed field anywhere. We haven’t gotten THAT far yet. lol
That Phat Kat is pretty dope after first listen.
Can’t stand Weezy.

Fresh is Most Definately the best of those hustlin movies. Don’t sleep on Clockers either.
But I think we’ve forgotten about Half Baked (haha).
I be bustin stupid dope moves, word to chucky.
& I still watch clockers once every 6 mths
‘Nobody worships weezy’ to ‘outta touch’ if we dont think he’s a good lyricist? Kind of a conflict of interest, but in the sense that hes a good rhymer with quirky metas n punchlines simply put, sure. when I think of what defines ‘lyrical’ in rap tho, its past the ability of rhyming nisely mostly for the sake of that itself, I dont even consider his most emotional vent as heavy substance since it aint verbally detailed as nisely as I think it could be or provide insightful knowledge. That collection is fluffed up too with promos, instros, etc., not bad but if done for pac his library would be 10 times what it is no joke. and I dont even know hows dude gonna get compard to nas. and hey if someone has been behind hip hop since day one and/or devote their entire life to it, i think thered be some professors [legit or not] out there with a insight more focused than some fool truly thinkn 50 is a lyrical god ya know. eventually everything gets categorized, i mean thats how we differentiate whats good n whats not, rap game is no exception.
anyway that podcast classic man, think i put up that O.C. album a while back, propers to da Andre Nickatina hookup
shyts been on fiya here lately wtf
yo gotty fuckin good looks on that murs
@ C.N.K.
Good lookin out! I copied and pasted but didn’t notice the space and was about to ask for a reup.
I love Esteban’s reaction to Chucky the first time he met him. “Go get this kid a Coke…,” i.e. “Get this stupid motherfucker out of my face.”
At the end of that drought, Wayne says something about disc two…is it one of those files?
Disc 2 hasn’t leaked yet
anybody have Camp Lo- Saturday Night…
ive been sleepin on it recently, and now that ive heard a couple of tracks, thats shits nicem but cant find it anywhere
“Weezy this.
Weezy that.
Weezy’s the “greatest rapper alive”.
Keepin it 100, nobody over here worships Weezy.”
Props on that quote Gotty…
(Was happy to see it)
waynes the best simple as that
Whats up with disc 2 to Drought 3 he just sayin that or what?
Son of Bazerk…what could be better BITCH!!!!
Dude.
N*ggas could put theyselves through 5 years of community college w/ them out print Hip Hop Jawns.
