With a slight tip of the hat to the Snap classic, Juve is back, and he’s brought along Hip-Hop heavyweight Rick Ross for his first single “Power.” Read the rest of this entry »

Post-prison T.I. has been a single man demolition machine, relentlessly annihilating guest appearances left and right without regard to women and children. However, tackling your own project is always a whole different beast than loaning out a quick 16. Read the rest of this entry »

Yell, kick, scream, throw bitch fits all you must, but the truth is the truth. Cash Money Records has been the most successful business venture of its kind for a long, long time. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ll take two of whatever Webbie’s on right now because it has him on a roll that even Charlie Sheen has to envy. “Finna F*ck You” is Trill Young Savage musically expanding on (perhaps) those random thoughts that spawned “I got a big dick” and “Get ya hoe, mayne,” only because he’s naturally more comfortable and capable to do so in booth, as compared to, say, a random Walmart. Whatever the case may be, Savage Life 3 should be full on devilishness. Read the rest of this entry »

While the rest of the Crew was at A3C, I stayed in the N.O. to enjoy the second annual NOLA Underground Hip-Hop Awards. Last year’s show was a huge success, but the sequel took things to a new level. Read the rest of this entry »

Before success comes from music, the love of the craft is preeminent. After success, however, that’s not always the case. For many artists, once the glory is attained, the art of simply penning songs becomes less of a release and more of a means to ends. For others, the wear of continually chasing after the unattainable takes it’s toll and leaves you worn Read the rest of this entry »

DGB:

“Before the living legend, Mannie Fresh rocked DROM in NYC earlier this month, we were able to get the homie Flip to ask Mannie some questions. Check out the video to hear Fresh talk about being more comfortable DJing than producing right now, not feeling the new generation of music, Lil Wayne’s mainstream success, Read the rest of this entry »

Dee-1’s honesty is always striking, no matter how many times I hear his music. It bleeds through every lyric he writes. Instead of forcing himself to be something he’s not, or coming up with some contrived gimmick, Dee-1 just lays it down straight, spitting what’s in his head and heart every time out, as seen and heard in “The One That Got Away.” Read the rest of this entry »

The welcome home celebrations were a success, restrictions have been confirmed and courtside seats have been purchased. Anticipation for new lyrical thoughts from Tunechi still remain at a rather immense level however. Come to think of it, this may be the longest duration with no new material from Wayne in years. The infamous and unofficial streak Read the rest of this entry »

There comes a point in certain rappers careers where the need to rehash their past glory is inevitable. The booze-polluted nights and crops of blunts eventually add up (or don’t…) and not only do their brains appreciate the option to renovate former greatness, they take ease in knowing they’ve got one in the chamber.

“This Is The Carter” is probably my favorite Lil Wayne song.

Enlightened by Mannie Fresh, Cash Money’s best producer of all time, this pop-tart from Young Moolah’s original Carter allowed the pubescent pre-President to dash some sprinkles of pre-swag swag onto wax before he ever admitted to being a Martian. Read the rest of this entry »
