Before Curtis dropped this script-flippin’ mixtape in 2001 and consequently changed how hip-hop-heads would eventually get their fix, music was copped in the form of these shiny little things called compact discs.
Some of you OGs might remember ‘em. Read the rest of this entry »

Too often, emcees hit the scene full of sound & fury, yet signifying nothing.
This should not be the case with NYOIL.
NYOIL first garnered mass attention with the track “Ya’ll Should Get Lynched” – an attack on “coon-assed rappers” – but his resume reads much deeper than one song. As evidenced by his album, Hood Treason, NYOIL has the goods to be more than just another face in the crowd. With a commanding voice & outstanding lyrical ability, he is an emcee of years before, following in the pathway laid by Chuck D & KRS.
In this interview with the Crew’s Wit-E Beats, NYOIL speaks his heart & mind, averting no subjects – How he got his start, being an independent artist, his upcoming album & its features, overuse of the N-word…bootleggers…hip-hop…internet marketing.
Get the picture that this man will leave no stone unturned in his quest for greatness?
Good.
Now take a listen.
Give NYOIL a listen…

Even though I can get new music anytime I want in the comfort of my own dorm room, there’s nothing like going to a concert and picking up a mixtape. Every Hip-Hop fan has that one story of the time they met a rapper when he or she was a complete nobody, selling a mixtape outside of some sort of venue. Of course, when this rapper blows up, the story gets told every five minutes.
Soon, I think I’ll be able to tell a similar story. Read the rest of this entry »

Usually, I like to read Lil Wayne’s interviews & poke fun. As MTV’s been releasing excerpts of their interview this week, I’ve been amused & confused, trying to decipher through the babble.
However, when Wayne started speaking on his love affair with his pink cup, I couldn’t even laugh anymore. Read the rest of this entry »

In the Cav post, Deen said…
I’m liking this from a pure, purist standpoint. That doesn’t happen too often these days. In order to find music you like, one has to make all these fuckin’ concessions. This is music I can take on its own terms. No chaser required.
In a way, that sparked my brain.
There’s plenty of artists out there who are creative without straying too far traditional conventions of hip-hop.
Listening to one (All-Star – “Alphabet Soup”) made me think of the original (All-Star – “A to Z”) ,which reminded me that I meant to post this other track (Joell Ortiz Ft. Domingo – “Exactly”) as well…because all three share a common bond – artists flipping the alphabet in various ways.
Is it a “new” concept? Nope. But in terms of skill & technique, I’d have to put Joell’s joint up there with Nas’ “Rewind”…and maybe even a notch above it.
Star’s? Well, I think I spoke on the original track many moons ago & it just fit into the whole play-on-letters concept.
That is all. C-a-r-r-y on.

Mainstream New York hip hop has lost it’s swagger. It has taken a backseat to the likes of Mims, Lil’ Mama, and other one-hit wonders that completely jacked Southern “hip-pop” of their fun, bouncy, bass heavy beats.
Enter eMC and their debut  album, The Show. Read the rest of this entry »
