Last week I posted 9th and Luda. This week it's Swizz Beatz and Luda. From the samples he was choppin up, it looks like Swizzy is going to give Luda somethin' NASTY!!!
Theatre Of The Mind Drops November 11th.
And on that note... I'm out.
Day I bought Untitled and first heard that line, I damn near wrecked my car because I was laughing so hard. Why? Because that line was so on point. To "authenticate my nigganess," do I have to spend my doe recklessly on that shit? Does it bring about the respect our people fight everyday? Among other "?uestions In The Shade Of Black," these questions are asked among our people everyday.
This is one of my favorite tracks from the album. The live drums on this (especially on the 8 bar outro) is extremely dope. The video filmed in some familiar spots to me... good ol' Crenshaw Blvd, as well as some shots from Downtown. Also pay EXTREMELY to meaning of the song too, Nas really goes in on this one (shit, he "went in" the whole album).
And on that note... I'm out.
Q-Tip On Rap City, in the booth, wrecking shit, spitting for almost 3 straight minutes.
The Renaissance drops Election Day, November 4th!!!!
And on that note... I'm out.
As far as getting loose at a party, right now, this is my joint right here. Every gig I WILL BE bumpin this shit. It's great to see Kardinal finally get a good look after years grinding in the underground.
Kardinal Offishall's Not 4 Sale is in stores now.
Q-Tip - Move's Hidden Meaning from Three/21 Films on Vimeo.
Q-Tip and Cons behind the scenes from the video for "Move." Another record of Tip's LONG AWAITED LP, The Renaissance. As you may or may not know, a couple of the joints off the album are revisted version from two unreleased LPs that Tip did. This is one of those joints. Why I am telling you this? I tellin you (like Jennifer Hudson) because YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS RECORD, seriously. I was sooo happy he going to put this shit on the album. This beat, Dilla yo.... you won't believe what he sampled if I told you.
I would post the joint here, but I'm not at my home computer right now. Go searchin for this shit, I guarantee it will be on repeat this whole weekend. Or.... just wait for The Renaissance to drop this November.
And on that note... I'm out.
I found about this a day after it went down. I'm MADDDDDDD that I missed this, especially after watching these videos. Just click on the link and it will bring you to the menu to with Pete and Co. breaking down beats and life.

And on that note... I'm out.
I recieved an e-mail about this dude's record about a week ago, and not had the time to read it. Than last night, while checking the LMU "TV Guide-like" channel to see what was on T.V, KXLU's (the campus radio station) resident Sunday night underground Hip-Hop show was playing in the background on the channel. When I heard the beat, I IMMEDIATELY knew it was a Preemo joint, but the shit had my head nodding in "shotgun repel action" for 4 minutes straight. It was the joint Preemo did for Ill Bill's upcoming album entitled The Hour Of Reprisal. Here's Preemo here talking about the making of the song, entitled "Society Is Brainwashed."
Sidenote- Did he just say that this joint was made for orginally made for Hov's American Gangster?!?!?!? Why Jay why? Lol!!!

Now Mr. West has throwin' his name in the hat...
(From Hiphopdx.com)
After the tremendous success of Kanye West's Graduation, fans have been patiently waiting the arrival of his next brainchild. Well wait no more. Multiple blogs, including Nahright and respected DJ Semtex's official blog have begun reporting that Ye's next venture will be out before year's end. MTV UK has also reportedly received confirmation of the projects saying: "both Jay and Kanye are set to release new albums before the end of 2009. It's well known Jigga has been working on a new LP- likely to be called The Blueprint 3 - with another West produced track "Jockin' Jay Z" already leaked to the web. Kanye was not expected to release a new album in 2008 but the follow up to Graduation now seems likely to be with us in the near future!"
Kanye's next single will be called "Love LockDown" and his 4th LP is on track to hit stores in December. According to MTV UK (but not confirmed) "Love LockDown" will be available for download on Sept 8th.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwww...... stay tuned. (I'm going to be MAD broke by the end of this quarter, lol!!!)

Cons, Pharrell, Preemo, and one of the funniest backstage stories I've heard in a minute. Word to wise, read up a little bit on your Native Tongues history if you want to understand this completely.
