“Crime Wave” - Review Of 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct

It’s been a long yet lucrative road to the release of Before I Self Destruct, 50 Cent’s much documented final record on his Interscope contract. Possibly the genre’s last mega-star before Hip-Hop was regressed by the digital age, 50 saw endless mounds of success through business ventures,...

“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny...

“The 8th Light…”

“Black, my family thick, like they’re striped molasses/Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the masses/Black is the color of my true love’s hair/Star’s are bright, shining, hot balls of air..” Straight swiped the pic from Va$htie’s abode. No particular reason except...

Video: Wale & J. Cole Freestyle @ Denny’s

Touring isn’t what it used to be. I told you that they weren’t letting anyone backstage @ the BP3 show and J. Cole spoke on how there weren’t any groupies gettin’ their back out as far as he could see. Bummer. I think we all grow up having wet dreams where floozy after floozy...

Willie The Kid – “Black Ice”

You know what it is. New WTK going in over Goodie’s “Black Ice” from his upcoming project with DJ Scream entitled The Outkast, where he’ll try his hand @ a few of the famed duo’s songs. While they idea isn’t exactly new, it should still be good.

“So Sweeet…”

Last week, Neil and I discussed the topic of how he finds time to still do tapes while touring. In a nutshell, it’s virtually impossible but I’ll share some of the rest of it later. The main thing that I wanted to share then and now was I told him how someone had literally just sent me a...

“Garden State Of Mind…”

When I dropped a post about Mo0 this summer his track met TSS with a somewhat tepid response. I saw a modicum of potential in the kid but dude wasn’t “there” yet in many respects. I knew that wasn’t the last I’d hear from the kid so I kept him in the “wait and see” folder.

Phil Adé - “Hollywood” Video

Now pardon the tardiness on this here post, but I’m in a DC-type of mood given the requisite listening of the recent release from one Mr. Folarin (the numbers don’t look good, but hopefully they pick up given the offering was the best ’09 debut this side of Fashawn’s Boy Meets World).

The Pharmacy…

Since we all secretly await any news with “Eminem” and “release date” in the tagline, I thought it’d only be right to share that Relapse: Refill drops December 22nd. No, untangle your panties, it’s not a new album. Instead, Interscope decided to re-release Relapse...
