Jackie Chain and Freddie Gibbs spitting party raps over production that brings to mind waifs on designer drugs flailing in sync to a seizure-inducing lightshow shouldn’t work.

I think Chain hooked me at the 25 second mark when he said “you TJ Maxx/I’m Saks Feef,” Read the rest of this entry »

Your 10th grade American History teacher was totally right: you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet. Although he/she probably wasn’t speaking about lyric websites, apply the same advice to those web addresses as well.

Gangsta Gibbs has been mingling with the superstars as of late, but he never forgets where he came from and always has time to take a minute and be there for his native G.I.’s Str8 Slammin’ Click. Directed by D-Edge, the video for “Bad Attitude” will definitely take all loyal Freddie fans back to the days of Miseducation… and MidwestGangsta…, the mixtapes best known for their raw, unrelenting and uncompromising sound.

After pumping out plenty of party-rocking mash-ups over the past few years, Chi-Town’s favorite remix-making duo The Hood Internet has compiled this compilation of their most popular takes for a new, self-titled mixtape.
