After both DMX and Sheek Louch referenced infamous Hall of Fame wrestler Bob Backlund during Ruff Ryders’ “World’s Greatest” comeback track, we were reminded the WWF Superstar-turned-wannabe-politician had actually been referenced more than a few times in rhymes. So, as a treat for our scatterbrained audience, we’ve taken the liberty of compiling quotables from some of Hip-Hop’s elite, speaking on none other than the king of the Crossface Chickenwing himself.

The switch from the smoothed out Heath Brothers’ sample to the funktastic bounce for verse two make installment numero tres of Reggie Noble’s character-driven series one of my favorites. Read the rest of this entry »

Rap’s most prominent weed toker has undertaken a departure from what his fans are used to hearing with his seventh album, Redman Presents…Reggie. The typical lackadaisical, high-guy rap has been replaced with different content, flows, and overall atypical creativity style. While it may be unique, how deserving is it of merit? Well, that all depends on how low the bar has fallen. Read the rest of this entry »

“Supreme Clienteleeeee!!! Ain’t no love to be found…”

Oh wait? What’s that you say? “Buck 50” was a decade ago? Then what is this rough, raw and rugged audio dope that is stimulating and so to pleasing my ear drums? It’s hypnotizing yet so grimy like a throwback to the days when a hoodie and ice grill was enough to freeze any posturing lame in their tracks trying to sugarcoat the realness.

Have a seat there youngster and let Redman show you how he’s been handling biz before YouTube and iPods became the predominant form of consuming music. Harking back to the days where Rap City participants actually competed who could have the most engaging flick, Doctor Noble dodges chubby chasers, inferno blasts and sadly, a ménage à trois Read the rest of this entry »

Whose ever bright idea it was to have Redman drop a mixtape a few days before his album is set to hit stores, definitely is one flapjack short of a full stack. It probably never occurred to them that Redman’s unGoogleable Reggie title would surely be eclipsed by the more catching Pancakes & Syrup and its songs would blindside the actual album’s tracklist. Eh…whatever is clever, I guess. For those of you in-the-know, Redman’s 7th album, Reggie drops December 7th and he’s making MCs break fast like scrambled eggs and bacon with his new freebie.

Without the proper buzz window and overdriven promotion, releasing an album in these dire times could be a wasted effort. Good thing the folks over at Def Jam have a bulletproof blueprint that no penny pincher can shoot down. By deviously planting unforeseen albums in stores during the holiday hustle-n-bustle, they’re bound to scan a few discs just of the principality. Let’s envision the scenario: Read the rest of this entry »

Reggie’s back. Back again. And New Jersey’s greatest export brings us one of the lead singles off the end of the year album Reggie Presents Redman, “Defjammable.” The beat definitely packs the appropriate oomph you’d expect from a man whose built a career off of dirty, funky bass lines.

“Supercalifragalisticexpialidocious/Dociousaliexpifragalisticcalisuper/Cancun, catch me in the room, eatin grouper…”

Pretty gutter track, but Ghost’s line above never fails to crack me up due to its randomness. Matter of fact, only he’d spit fly shit while everyone else around him is throwing lyrical body punches at every opportunity. Read the rest of this entry »

How should Rah Digga garner a little attention for her upcoming album and the associated lead single? By hooking up with fellow Jerz representer Reggie Noble, that’s how. Nottz keeps the original largely intact, giving “the king and queen of Brick City” a nice soundscape to prove that like fine wine rappers can get better with time. Read the rest of this entry »

An unlikely, grimy alliance between hood superheroes Red and Murda for the track “East Coast Is Back.” The joint will be featured on an upcoming Kay Slay, which will most likely be available at the local corner bodega near the off-brand chips and incenses. Read the rest of this entry »

Who knows what this album will eventually be called. I’ve seen Reggie Noble “0″ 9 ½,  Reggie’s Oodles of O’s and now it’s simply being touted as Reggie. Quite frankly, Redman could call this joint Mud Ducks & Grape Jelly and it wouldn’t change the fact the Funk Doctor is putting it down regardless of mainstream attention, concrete release dates or whatever the little tykes call music.

Reggie’s Saturday night delivery via Twitter becomes your Sunday morning blessing…or mess to clean up. Give me the familiar and feisty “Walk & Talk It,” while you keep the meandering “Musik, Money…” Like the lil homie said, everything free doesn’t have to be for me but I do thank thee, Red, for making both available.

Am I the only one who finds it mildly funny but cool that Reggie Noble uses Twitter? Just imagine his keyboard being filthy with resin as he sends messages out to the internuts. Last night, he was kind enough to pass along this Illmind-produced track, “Buck Buck.” Read the rest of this entry »
