Friends In High Places…

The whole backstory with Lebron & Deshawn Stevenson…not even worth the energy. Google it.
But when I heard them talkin’ about this track this morning on the NBA pregame and how it was played in a club frequented by the Wiz players, the title is all I could think of.
That & truly gettin’ into the opponents head lol.
Jay-Z – Blow The Whistle (DeShawn Stevenson Diss) (No DJ) Updated with a better quality version.
Props to Splash.

JAJAJAJAJA
This is why you don’t overstep boundaries.
song is horrible…c’mon hov…deshawn stevenson? really?
Tech on all parties involved.
Still lol @ I don’t even know ya’ll name…
The beat is ugly, and not in a good way.
Jay had maybe one or two lines, but overall, a waste of time.
C’mon Brock, You can’t eff with that beat? That Lil Jon track is dope. Hov just threw that out there cause Stevenson thought He was doin somethin by having Soulja Boy come to game three. Jay had to look out for the lil homie.
Hov is a funny dude
I feel you, Amp…
I just can’t get with Hov on that beat.
@ Amp – muchos gracias for posting that Dre, Rage & Kurupt “…Blunts &…Tanqueray” joint…
and the more I think about it….
I wanna take a trip to Queens and murk Mike Oliver my goddamn self
F.T.P.
Sean Bell…rest in peace…? naw, not until there’s retribution & vindication

15 years later, and fools is STILL not seein’ Rage & Kurupt’s flow & delivery on Blunts & Tanqueray, plus that Dre beat is real sinister, mesmerizing, and just plain BUMPS. tell me I’m wrong.

Real Spit
amp – forgot to thank you for uppin’ that …
when it first came out, i “accidentally” broke my dude’s vinyl and he was never able to get it back – til now.
you’re a gentleman and a scholar.
Corolla Motorola holder doin’ forever shit like pissin’ out the window on turnpikes
^ Kurupt rips that joint to shreds!
Sidebar-Tony Yayo is playing KRS-One in the Juice Crew movie? Smells like straight to DVD to me…
^ yeah, dude was…Amped. lol
no one I listen to nowadays spits with that type of ferociousness, intensity & urgency and stays on beat and really RAPS, like their life depended on it.
I dare someone to name somebody out now who could outrap the Kurupt of ‘93-’95.
I’ve never really listened to Plies, but the way y’all make him out to be, he’s the first name to pop up in my head
plies can barely enunciate his own raps.
^ where’s that Eli album cover you said you were working on?
Kurupt’s first solo & Daz Dillinger (I think) were both strong albums.
sad news…just came across this @ OKP:
“…one of the girls from 702 died…”
not one of the 3 fom the group’s “high period,” though… it’s Orish, the twin sister of Irish (the one who used to fuck with Ray J… most of y’all probably think of her as “the fine one”)… she was in the group in the “This Little Game We Play” era, dropped out, came back to fill in for Meelah on “Pootie Tangin,” dropped out again on Star (underrated album) and then joined again recently on their attempted comeback.
she was 27.
RIP.

Orish Grinstead, founding member of R&B girl group 702 out of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away on Sunday, April 20th from kidney failure. She was 27 years old. Orish, who created the group along with her twin sister, Irish and big sister Lameisha, was what friends called ‘a good person, sweet, sincere, humble and full of life.’ According to friends Orish had been ill for a long time, and sadly, due to other medical complications she suffered from including cancer that had yet to be treated, she was not expected to live too long. I’ll post more details as they become available. But for now, my condolences sincerely go out to the Grinstead family, especially to Orish’s twin sister, Irish, during this time of their bereavement.
702 got its start during the mid-90s. after being discovered by comedian/actor Sinbad in the lobby of Caesars Palace where they would sing to anyone who would listen during big boxing matches. Originally called ‘Sweeta than Suga’ before they knew it, with the help from Sinbad, the three sisters headed to Atlanta to compete in a talent show, coming in second place. Later that same night, the ladies met Michael Bivins (New Edition, Bell, Biv, DeVoe) and sang for him. Bivins, who had already signed Chicago-based boy-band Subway to his Biv 10 Entertainment record label–a subsidiary of Motown Records) agreed to work with the sisters. According to Wikipedia, the sisters (along with their cousin Amelia) made their recorded debut on Subway’s hit single This Lil’ Game We Play (watch video HERE.) Before their solo album No Doubt was recorded and released in the fall of 1996, Orish left the group and was replaced by childhood friend, Kameelah Williams. The three members renamed themselves ‘702,’ which is Las Vegas’ area code.
Thanks to DSR at LSA for the details.
No Doubt, spawned such hits as Steelo, All I Want, Get It Together and the album’s title track; as well as a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award for BestR&B/Soul Album of the Year – Group, Band or Duo in 1997. It went gold for selling over 500,000 copies worldwide. In 1999, the release of the group’s self-titled sophomore album, 702, awarded the girls only one hit single, Where My Girls At? (which was written and produced by Missy Elliott). Still, the album eventually went gold.
Damn R.I.P. to that 702 chick; that “Steelo” joint was a banger back in the day for real.
@ Dirk: Tell me where I can get that image you’re using as your Gravatar!!! I need to put that on a t-shirt this summer!!! LOL!!!
kurupt is top 20 dont sleep…streetz iz a mutha=classic, daz-raw (alot of kurupt)=street classic
even smoke odyssey space boogie was dope
How cool would it be if Mike Oliver was a character you could kill in GTAIV?
I really, REALLY wanna put a bullet in that devil’s brain.
Streetz Iz A Mutha is the strong one…
^ Yup.
^ i second that motion.
my favorite joint on that album was welcome home…fuck it the whole shit was tight.
I met them once the girl was cool Damn RIP
I was too lazy to go and look for this song…but I as I’m sitting on the couch watching the game today I said “It’ll be on TSS later today.” funny how you can count on the crew here.
sidenote: If they keep this rap beef shit up in the NBA the league will have to bring in “The Grand Dragon” Roger Goodell to regulate on these ninjas in the NBA.
Update:
In light of the Deshawn Stevenson Diss from Hov via Lebron. The District answers back with Pro’Verb’s PSA. DMV Stand Up…

Why did you move the post to the top of the page?
^^ that was courtesy of illRoots.com
A DeShawn Stevenson response record???
Response?
Any response from ya’ boy DeShawn HAS TO include one or more of the following phrases:
-Sorry LeBron (My bad, homey)
-No way we’re gon’ win down 3-1
-Good luck next round
-Summer’s here
-Where’s a good place to fish?
-You’re on my poster… Wait, I’m getting dunked on
performed over Boys ll Men’s End Of The Road…
i like the song im just thinking….y does it always come down 2 money? i know thats one of hov’s strengths and general enough 2 be appropriate but…y when a rapper says “we gettin money ova here” do so many of us flock 2 them??
…i guess it doesnt matter what u talk about as long as its hot. customer remix ft kellz…dope but that line about lemonade is nasty
That Blow the Whistle song didn’t get the burn it deserved!
Hov is just putting it out there since it correlates with b-ball.
I liked the freestyle, bout as good as the We Fly High freestyle.
Dope.
Anybody have that old Kuruption! album? Can’t find it anywhere…Thanks!

@ Estelle
***Chino XL
***Rass Kass
***Consequence
just to name a few….
Plies is absolutely HORRIBLE!!! Anyone giving credibility to him rapping has not been listening to hip hop very long.
Jay-Z’s not the best, but I like his stuff. Mad props for him being in the game so long and still putting out real hip hop.
This diss track though isn’t that tight. Jay-Z was so lazy on it. Jay-Z probably put it out because he thought its a battle he could win. His diss tracks are never that good. That’s why Nas ripped him back in the day.
The response track by Pro is so much hotter. Especially this line:
“Lil Lebron gotta run to his pops/Like ‘daddy, he was making fun of the Roc’/What’s next, he gonna get a diss track from his mom/what? beyonce gonna sing a track for lebron”
@ DZ 5000 ….riiiight…
@DZ 500
it’ll be the end of Jay’s career….
and then Nas will get vitiligo, Talib Kweli will sell 10 million, NYOIL will win a grammy and….Lil’ Wayne will actually rap.
shame thats what these kids look up to nowadays…. beefing like a 17 ear old
