“Got this whole shit covered…Darrelle Revis”

There’s comes a point where a rapper is almost too good for his own good. Case in point, Joey Budden and Nickel Nina. Typically, most less-inferior MCs spread their punch-lines around, leaving listeners time to process their prowess. These Slaughterhouse butchers, however, deliver TKOs so frequently, listeners can’t even keep up and don’t even realize how potent the product really is. That, or they become diehard fans who don’t buy CDs.

One or the other.

Unearthed from the dusty depths of dope music obscurities, comes Common’s unheard story of inducting a young light skin into the Mile High Club. Produced by Metro Detroit soulster Karriem Riggins, “Next Time” shines by elaborating on precursory story, rather than the raunchy cockpit shaking that surely followed – keeping Lonnie’s gentleman status intact once again.

Who says Timbaland’s saving all the good beats for himself?

What was once probably a potential single for The Material Girl’s last album, the Justin Timberlake-assisted “Across The Sky” wound up collecting cobwebs in Madonna’s vajayjay vocal vaults and has now resurfaced for really no reason at all. On second thought, maybe Timbo leaked this polysonic piece of Hard Candy to save Read the rest of this entry »

40 Wata stays innnovating. In anticipation of the March 30th release of his 11th solo album, Revenue Retrievin Day Shift/Night Shift (a double album set to be sold separately), the Bay Area vet exhibits his most unorthodox single and artistically driven video to date. Dubbed “The Server,” 40 spits from a familiar point of view, but it’s his dramatically slowed down flow and breathing room between bass hits that strikes a new chord with listeners.

These quakes must have shaken some sincerity into Crooked I, because instead of dropping another punchline-polluted throwaway, the LBC vet stepped up to the plate and delivered a phenomenal song (yes, an actual song…that he wrote down on paper) touching on the never-ending ills of every society on this crumbling planet we call home.

If it ain’t broke (or you can jimmy rig it) no need to fix it. You already know what it is. Rick Ross is rich, crass, arrogrant and he plans on working with every R&B artist in the industry before he dies. And he can outflow some of your favorite MCs whether you want to admit or not. There’s the kicker. Read the rest of this entry »

From Creative Control, Curren$y gets to rap about crack while in a cathedral. Well, maybe you should read their description instead of mine.

“The recreation of rebellion comes with the resistance of rules and intended purpose, the world is your oyster when rules are abandoned. The people at Less Artists More Condos go by this credo. Any location with the the capacity to hold people and plug in a sound system automatically becomes a venue for Read the rest of this entry »

Something a little unconventional than what you’re used to from the typical Houston rap acts. Montana and Church make up ATW, the H-Town collective committed to giving the people an alternative viewpoint than candy paint and swervin’ in turning lanes. This particular track “Games,” produced by Desaic Music highlights on just that with detailed account on the realities of getting in the game. Read the rest of this entry »
