Still Flying High.....
Jim Jones: carrying New York on his back?
XXL finally comes through: Jim Jones feat. T.I., Diddy, Baby & Young Dro “We Fly High (Official Remix)” - official ain't the word. This remix would be KILLING the game right if Jay-Z hadn't dropped that half-assed single last week and jedi-mind tricked everyone into talking about that instead. (alternate link: real audio via HHG)
Young Buck, Young Jeezy, T.I., Jazzie Pha "4 Kings" - nice! And shout to Big Mike of Convicts and (briefly) Geto Boys. Real hip hop fans know why. LOL note: why does Buck spit a comment about "3 Kings" in his verse. Did they add an extra king after the fact and is Buck so lazy he couldn't go back in and recut the line? (real audio via HHG)
Check out new tracks "A Town" and "Down South" from Sean P (fka Sean Paul) of the YoungBloodZ's solo album coming soon here.
When I first started talking about the group The Pack, I described them as "Lil Wayne mixed with Souls of Mischief over beats by Dem Franchize Boyz and Wiley." I guess DJ Diplo took his cues from me when he decided to remix their "Vans" track using Souls' classic "93 'Til Infinity" track. Check it here.
And whatever happened to Ms. Dynamite? Idolator and That Good Good have the answer via some new mp3's from her and her award-winning rapping brother (!) Akala.
And off the mp3's for a minute, Oh Word give you the Music Marketing 101 course in your blog MBA as he analyzes the difference between the launch of the recent E-40 and Ghostface albums.
And on the sneaker tip, check out Kobe Bryant's Denim Nike Air Force 1’s - are these actually hot??
Don't worry, I'm not oblivious. I'm gonna get to the f-ckery in a post real soon.
