La Flare’s looking to regain the top spot on the block by teaming with DJ Holiday to drop the Trap Back mixtape. With his legal difficulties creating setbacks, the argument can be made that Gucci’s been surpassed by a few others Read the rest of this entry »

1017 Brick Squad. They’re not the heir apparents to Slaughterhouse. But that’s just it; they don’t try to be. The pill popping, bottle pouring, weed smoking, pistol toting lyrics they spew have helped the entire group garner an insane amount of love in the streets, with Gucci leading the charge. The good thing? Even with Radric living off three hots and a cot, his lil’ homies are more than holding their own.

OJ? Well, he’s 32 mixtapes in and allegedly well on his way to becoming the next great wordsmith of our generation.

Waka? Deny it all you want, but “O Let’s Do It” could go down as one of the better anthems in recent memory. At the very least, it kills time until Gucci is released back into the free world sometime later this year. Thankfully, those bullets weren’t his final scene and it’s apparently done nothing but bolster his work ethic.

I don’t know too much about about the other two members, Wooh Da Kid and Frenchie. Regardless, I’m sure they’re hood stars too. That said, one of my favorite Brick Squad tracks has been their classy ode gangsta girls nationwide. I’m referring to “Candy Lady,” originally found on Gucci’s BurrrPrint. The homie Haze recently did the honors and dropped the NO DJ version. A great addition as they days of riding with the windows down march closer and closer.

While you’re here, enjoy the visual as well. Video vixen drug dealers and all.

Remember when DMX releasing two albums in 1998 seemed unfathomable? Well, welcome to 2010, where double-digit amounts of releases per year are mandatory and ham is an adjective.

Well, if you’re Waka Flocka Flame, that is.

Apparently, Brick Squad’s prince of the trap is gunning to capitalize on his bullet wounds by releasing 20 albums by year’s end. Yes, you read it correctly. Twen-ty. As in 2 x 10, or 1 + 19. It sounds crazy, because it is. Especially considering Fifty drew up the blueprint for exploiting getting got, and Waka’s year-end-goal winds up being two more releases than Curtis has put out…over his entire career. I know Waka is trying to change the game like every other rapper, but damn son. Twenty albums might as well be 40, which might as well be five. Because when all you do is rap about what you’ve got, cooking up dope, getting shot and killing people, your shit sounds stepped on at a certain point. Ya dig me?

In related news, pigs are flying out of ATL, moving soft across Georgia state lines and smoking Newport 100s.

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.
