More Muzik and Stuff to Trap
This is not an ironic pose, I am reppin' this T.I. ish hard (no homo):
And cop that Nas while you're at it and join the debate over at O-Dub's Pop Life.
Jaheim feat. Beanie Sigel "The Truth '04" produced by my man Giz - link finally found (via allhiphop.com).
But a shout to some of my peoples who don't have major label money behind them (I feel you):
- Mac & AK - veteran stalwarts of the underground Yay Area hip hop scene straight outta of the real killa Cali (E.P.A. don't play!). Peep "Leather N Wood" and "Bosses" from their forthcoming mixtape droppping early next year. "Leather" is trying a little too hard to be some crunkified Dirty South ish to me (Eric, y'all are from the Bay - y'need to get more hyphy, LOL.) but tell me that second track isn't the best beat Dre never produced?
- River Nelson, who I bumped into last night at Serena's - check out his brand of underground hip hop here.
- It's been a long time coming so I hope my man R.A. finally get his well-deserved props. This kid was the original crazy white boy from way back when Marshall was still probably rapping along to his 19 Naughty III tape trying to perfect his Treach flow (listen carefully) and calling his ex-girlfriend a n-gger b-tch in basement dis tracks. He kind of harps on that a little too much on his Die, Rugged Man, Die album but it's still worth copping for the real heads. Peep the "Lessons" mp3 from the album.
Joe, the owner of Fat Beats has a blog now. (Related: "Blog - a four-letter term that came to symbolize the difference between old and new media during this year's presidential campaign tops U.S. dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's list of the top 10 words of the year." CNN.com via Nadine S.)
Blog is the top word for 2004? Just when Pepper Spray was making a late run for the top spot with all those recent stories.... (MSNBC.com | E! Online | The Guardian)

I know it's been out for a minute but there might be a review running soon on this site of Def Jam's Fight for NY game. Click the link at left to check it out or leave comments if you've already played it and let me know what's really gravy.

Seriously, go cop that 'cos this kid is crazy. And his new website is live now too.
And cop that Nas while you're at it and join the debate over at O-Dub's Pop Life.
