I remember when “Got ‘Em Hatin’” first dropped the Plies buzz was in full swing. A few hit records and party odes later, the man made “goon” a household term with quite the career on his hands both mainstream and mixtape wise. Yeah, those days are long, long removed, but he’s still around and apparently content making the most outrageous songs the human mind can muster. Read the rest of this entry »

***Hater Alert***

My personal disdain towards Plies’ music knows no limitations, but I know plenty of you Beckies out here want it, so I’ll be chopped liver and all that. Y’boy Plies (pronounced Plyzzzzzzmannnn) wants you all to understand his love for the disc jock is so great, he doesn’t even need one on to host his new tape. Read the rest of this entry »

I stumbled upon this crap clip the other day while bypassing 106 & Park through the channel surf. To the naked eye, it seemed like “I’m So Hood” was their featured old-school or throwback montage for the day. Upon further inspection, the scenes were overly familiar yet the tune wasn’t as recognizable, but I knew I had heard it before. Read the rest of this entry »

*Yawn*

I guess if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Even if you can duct tape it and wiggle it to the left a little, it’s perfectly fine in Khaled Khaled’s kitchen. Who knows why he keeps rehashing the same formula to kick off every one of his albums? Maybe because a good 500,000 of you are good for tossing a single down the iTunes drain and help justify the entire project’s existence off the strength of one set of numbers alone.

Been on his grizzy but now he’s back in the place. If you don’t have his money, he’ll put his tech in your face. For no reason would it have appeared Jeezy has gone soft (pause) and he’s driving that point home by revisiting what helped him conquer the streets the first time around with Trap Or Die 2. Although a far cry from the Super Bowl Weekend release date it was originally slated to be drop on, the time is now and your CD decks couldn’t be happier. Read the rest of this entry »

Rap stuff, street stuff. It’s all the same thing. Which is probably why Jeezy is delivering that music straight from the bottom of the map. With Mr. Bust It Baby riding shotgun with a shotgun, the two drug profiled rappers keep it gutter to promote Jay’s new album and mixtape. You may lose your mind, or get your head blown off.

I heard they were performing this track @ the BP3 tour stop in Atlanta over the weekend and it was pretty good. But since Plies pretty much lost his last shreds of street cred a while ago, I had low expectations. It’d be like Kobe carrying the Lakers squads after Phil and Shaq left. I was right.

I’ve got a problem. Give or take a few records, I’m a fan of DJ Khaled and the great majority of his catalog. And you know what? I don’t mind dude yelling nonsense over each song either. It’s quite funny and brings added hype to the compilation. That’s the point of a DJ right? Read the rest of this entry »

Truthfully, we can’t stop Plies.  We can only hope he continues to drop videos w/ nubile vixens and R&B starlets. Like this one: Read the rest of this entry »
