In the Hip-Hop heads patented list of top ranked producers Organized Noize rarely make a scratch in the top 5, or even the top 10 for that matter. As a soldier for Southern Hip-Hop, ONP easily grace my list of top 5 producers, wedged somewhere between Pete Rock and Dilla (I won’t tell you exactly where). With a majority of OutKast’s and Goodie Mob’s discography under their belt as well as a handful of other artists, the unbeatable trio of Ray Murray, Rico Wade and their flamboyant third Sleepy Brown have defined Southern funk for the better part of a decade.

After Gotty™ attended the BET Awards in LA and returned with a stellar recap, we figured gaining media & press credentials to the 2009 BET Hip-Hop Awards — being filmed in my backyard this weekend — would be an easier draw for the Crew. We dutifully submitted our requests and sat back waiting. Two weeks later, we received a response.

Request denied.

Neither shaken nor stirred, we took the time to reflect. Reflection on the importance of BET and it’s “Hip-Hop Awards.” Self-reflection on our own thoughts, actions and rise to e-prominence; things that may have caused BET to deny our request.

In the process, we came up with 10 likely reasons why we weren’t permitted admission into the greatest Hip-Hop awards show ever.

1. Jesse H. and TC combined would’ve superseded their allotted malt liquor budget.

2. They’re still salty about the way LC left the station when they fired her from being the voice of Ms. Cita.

3. Because they only allowed in the Top 10 of Vibe’s Top Hip-Hop blogs. “Fuck #12″ was their initial response.

4. They read Contra’s™ “Until BET Is Taken Off The Air” post. Read the rest of this entry »

Jadakiss Shops For Weed In Amsterdam

Can we get a emphasis on that Smoke Break tag? As of late, rappers have been experiencing the ultimate rush; getting that international gwop in the Netherlands as well as sampling the country’s botany exhibits. Jadakiss took his ice grill to the Holland pavement but by the end of the clip, his face was gleaming like a kid on Christmas morning. Read the rest of this entry »

Mr. Thanksgiving noted that this was already out on the streets of the ‘A’, but the rest of us non-ATLiens would have to wait until Monday for he and Gucci’s latest hood box office smash. C’mon Dram, you know the innernets work harder than that. Almost two and a half months after their last successful output, The Burrprint is here to fill all of your trapping, pill popping, weed smoking and patron drinking fantasies.

Guys, I messed up.

A few weeks back, my long-standing request for a Smoking Session with West Coast pioneer Warren G was finally granted. As an artist I literally grew up listening to and who helped enlighten my musical taste-buds at an early age, the rare opportunity to speak to an idol was something I’d been bugging Gotty™ for since day one. So, it was quite stellar to hear that after years of waiting in the wings, our connects came through in the clutch, hooking up a phone interview to help promo his appearance in the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors tribute to his former label Def Jam, along with an upcoming seventh record from the Long Beach vet, The G-Files.

I got the call a few weeks later and, as expected, Warren was cooler than a cucumber and the interview came & went without a hitch. Until, of course…I got home to my Google Voice account and saw I’d pressed 4 an extra time on my piece-of-shit flip-phone to un-record the entire conversation/interview.
