Over the past the week, there have been numerous stories focusing on the reformatting going on over at the once-hyped MySpace Records. Now, according to Paste Magazine, it seems as if “restructuring” unfortunately means firing everybody and struggling to save face.
Not these two young’ns again. Back with yet another potential club anthem–with no tangible album info on the horizon. Whatever. Grand Hu$tle’s wonder twins, Dro and Yung Leland, score a winner which will surely be proceeded by a video as well as a bajillion bootleg mixtapes revolving around the track.

On everything, there aren’t many uploads better in Hip-Hop than a Hell Rell interview. And I mean that in all seriousness. While 2005-2006 may have been the highlight of his musical career, it must be said that if he could create even a hint of commercial success, he’d be a talk host’s dream. Imagine Ruger on Jimmy Kimmel indulging about all things hood, ghetto and fresh. Until this is achieved, I’ll take the occasional video and a countless quotables which come with it. Duke Da God caught up with Rell in the streets (literally) where they chop it up on a variety of subjects including Cam’ron, Kanye, porn, Alicia Keys and Ma$e.
But really, it’s the quotables we came here for. Like last time, consider this a preview:
1. “If you ain’t doin’ what I’m doing, you wack, nigga. If you ain’t out here smokin’ blunts and wearing muthafuckin’ $500 belts and $500 hats, you wack. (pause) 300.” — Who said there’s no money in the rap game?
2. “Kanye need to send me some beats man. For real, man. I need something from Kanye man, I ain’t gon’ front. He don’t fuck with hood niggas. Nah mean? He need to give me some of that shit. KiD CuDi ain’t really doing it right. Nah mean? I’ll swag that shit out.” — ‘Swag’ ain’t dead until Ruger says so. I bet CuDi won’t swing on Rell though.
3. “I’d rather the ass over the face. That’s how my nigga Killa do it. He don’t care if a bitch got a eye in the middle of her head, as long as she got a phat ass.” — Proof that even King Jaffe Joe himself has a skeleton (or two) in the closet.
Again, if this guy ever managed to establish any hint of a mainstream buzz, he definitely wouldn’t have a problem landing an interview. Makes me wonder why there hasn’t to be a Hell Rell/Ron Artest clip yet though.
I racked my brain attempting to think of a cool intro sentence to correlate with this news story I came across earlier. Then I realized, there wasn’t one. The story speaks for itself. It’s one of those articles you read and with each line you become more and more astonished it’s actually true. In that case, yes, an all-white basketball league in the works is true. As if Georgia wasn’t already having a rough week. Read the rest of this entry »
Earlier this morning, DJ Concept sent over another fine mix that he created, this one honoring the musical legacy of the recently deceased Teddy P.
Another soul legend is no longer with us in the physical form, but his music will always be here. With the passing of Teddy, all we can do is continue to blast his music & keep his spirit alive. Read the rest of this entry »
Hands down, for all the top tier DJs from the 90′s and early 2K who fell off and/or got lost in the shuffle, Tony Toca has not and looks like he will not. Holding it down on Shade 45, he’s released this best of his Toca Tuesdays featuring some of the best in the game right now.
Tony Touch and Shade 45 wanted to do something to celebrate a great 2009 for Toca Tuesdays, as well as prepare for an even better 2010. To do this, DJ Tony Touch put together some of the best Read the rest of this entry »
Try and try as I might, it looks as if Jay Elec-steria is seeping into what we do. But, I said I wouldn’t mind posting as long as the appearances and output warranted it. He’s keeping up the pace for the moment so fawk it. Read the rest of this entry »
With the Jay Elec-steria going on, that dude Suave had me playing this one back-to-back. Billy Stewart’s 1967 track setting the example for the Just Blaze’s“Exhibit C” sample.
Ludajuice may be a pyramid scam beverage nourishing for the body but Conjure is the drank that gives Ludacris his lyrical tenacity to stay ahead of the game in this new decade. Battle Of The Sexes is up next but for now, get tipsy to ‘Cris ripping into all the latest instrumentals of the past few months.
We were supposed to post this last week but in the wake of the Al Jazeera-influenced AIDS video, I figured most of you were scared enough & couldn’t stand any additional finger-waggin’ reminding you of how much of a bad idea it was to sleep with that one chick from the club whose name you never knew (much less forgot). Of course, it turned out to be a hoax and everybody’s back to humpin’ like jackrabbits. But Nato’s here with a bit of solemn, down-to-earth advice in the form of rhyme, reminding everybody to strap up, otherwise redbone Skeletor will be @ your door.
Let T.I. & Luda tell it, Atlanta is home to some of the most extravagant strip clubs with voluptuous women prowling the streets day and night. According to the oldest running LGBT publication in the USA, The Advocate, “Hotlanta” as they affectionately call it, is on fire–and flaming for being the gayest city in the country.

While they still need a supergroup name, you could them Shaolin Noodle Soup and it wouldn’t affect the quality. The hierarchy of the Wu-Tang Clan politic/ditto’s in Yolanda’s House to do what they do best: spit poisonous darts on rap tracks, this time over a soulful Mike Jack sample.* Read the rest of this entry »
