For all you next-gen gamers thinking you’re living it up with your Halo’s and Killzone’s, let me remind you where it really began at. Yeah, Doom may been the OG of first-person shooters to really gather a following, but Goldeneye 007 really took it there. Never was there just a single game that made an otherwise worthless gaming console worth purchasing (yeah I said it). Take yourself back to the rainy days of 1998 for a moment. Go to your homeboy’s living room. Undoubtedly there was a Playstation, as they were ubiquitous with every household at the time. But in that other corner, inside that pancaked piece of plastic, sat the silver cartidge bearing Pierce Bronson’s likeness while he posed with that PP7 with the silencer attached.

You had to have to it.

I was fortunate to be part of the perfect setup. My boy had the big screen, I had 4 controllers and we’d play the most murderous rap music we had to accent the occasion. Nore’s “Body In The Trunk” blasted from the Sony boombox while we endured Pistols in the Stack. It was lights out for all players if someone got a hold of that RCP-90 when it was Power Weapons in the Temple. Master P’s “Let My 9 Get Em” did the rest of the talking. And it was double the torture singing along with Pun, telling your opposistion “You Ain’t A Killa” while emptying your clip into their lifeless torso while the blood trickled down their portion of the screen. And we didn’t play that power meter shit. If you came to our neck our woods, prepare to submit your “License To Kill” because them one-hitter quitter shots were bout as real as it got.

Aye! Just to show you with what type of company we were rollin’ in when we did HBFSv5…

Shame on me for forgetting “Latifah’s Had It Up 2 Here.” *Shakes fist @ Just & YN* You can just smell that early Jerz sound oozing all over this track.

“Take that! Take that! Take that!”

I think the spirit of Elliott Wilson, better known as YN, is gettin’ into me. I’m feeling unusually spirited for a Monday morning – I think it’s a combo of P’s Rickey Retardo graphics and actually leaving a few of these songs on repeat while.

I would draw things out & give you a long-winded intro, but I’ll allow ex-EIC the room & space to run this joint while I chill & snack on this pack of Skittles.

Five On It

Feels good to be home! Back doing what I do best on a Monday: Putting together another Hard Body Female Spit compilation for the hip-hop nation. Yup, ego trip’s Miss Rap Supreme Show on VH1 was off last week so there was no YN guest blog spot—anywhere (look it up!). But after 14 long days I’m back like I forgot my Kangol. And who better to return to burn with than my dude Gotty™ and The Smoking Section squad.

That’s right the mighty TSS and YN. A Wilson Media LLC/Rawkus collaboration? Shit, we ain’t done broke bread since ego trip’s Big Playback album. Wow. You see what goes around comes back around again. Someone kiss Blak Shawn on the forehead for me. Pause!

Anyways, before we get to the sounds: Props to Gotty for puttin’ me on and up on his Speedyshare ways. (Ayo technology! Did you hear them play the instrumental when they introduced the Celts in yesterday’s game? No wonder they won. Ha!) OK, one yourself! Back to biz: ego trip’s Miss Rap Supreme tonight at 10. You’ll see YN again my friends.

“…YN’s got some shit to hawk.”

You knew it was only a matter of time before Elliott Wilson, aka YN, came back on the scene because, as my OG told me, “you can’t stop a stepper.” As the self-proclaimed “former heavyweight champ of hip-hop journalism,” I’ve always admired the unabashed arrogance of the cat along with the fact that, hate it or love it, his proclamations are often based on some semblance of truth.

Currently, he’s helping to helpin’ to parlay ego trip’s Miss Rap Supreme reality series. Seeing as how 1.) The “(White) Rapper Show” had a tremendous following and 2.) VH1 is the only Black/urban/hip-hop channel (yeah, I said it) doing anything substantial right now, all in all it should be a decent show. I mean shit, they got Khia (read her blog entries to see why this chick is pure fuckin comedy & full of quotables), a Russian lady, a German chick who raps in pronounced English, a midget, an amped up version of Da Brat, a mysterious bird with swooped & gelled bangs to cover her injured eye…just peep the trailer to understand.

Each Monday, YN is partnering with a blog/site to create Hard Body Female Spit, a break down of some of the finer female contributions to the game. This week, Read the rest of this entry »
