The Return Of The Renegades

Man, I need to draw up a press pass for E3 next year, because aside from the dope new games, this is the type of shit I missed. In case you have not heard, Activision is giving Hip-Hop the "Guitar Hero" treatment with DJ Hero (sub the guitar with turntables and that's what this game is). The game is going to featuring not only well known joints, but as well as unreleased records from a variety of artists, including these two. This was from the World Famous Wiltern Theatre In Downtown L.A.

And on that note... I'm out.

Is It... Can It Be....

The beat in back= Shit Popped Off featuring T.I From Detox. Yes, I said Detox. With Dre sonically sound his best in a long time (since Busta's The Big Bang and Snoop's The Blue Carpet Treatment to be exact. Imagine anyone?) with Relapse and the recent leaks from 50's Before I Self Destruct, my faith is slowly but surely being restored in this LP actually seeing the light of day (and the beauty of the night when baring it on a weekend night). Sidenote- This is the first time I seen Dr. Dre in front of turntables in aggggggggees!!!!!

But then I found this (good looking to the homie Troy from The A)

But I willing to bet this a rough draft like Crack A Bottle With T.I doing Dre's verse.

Man... this shit knocks... Maybe there's hope (c) DJ Jazzy Jeff

And On That Note... I'm out.

Uh-Oh...

It could be 2000-2003 all over again.

The Shady One's Return To The Boom Bap

(Em On The Wake Up Show In '99)

(From Hip-Hopdx.com)

Back in the 90’s it seemed that in order to be somebody you couldn’t possibly do an album without the legendary DJ Premier stamping his trademark production. From Nas to Jay-Z and everyone in between, a DJ Premier track made every artist worth talking about official.

These days, those calls have dwindled as the younger crop of emcees have opted to go another route while Premier nurtures a new batch of emcees.
But there’s one person that needs that extra punch to make his comeback official and he picked up the phone to make that call… Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady aka Eminem

"I just got a call from Eminem," Primo revealed exclusively to HipHopDX.
The song, titled “Keys To The City,” will indeed be on Eminem’s upcoming album (possibly leaked as the street single) and will be the first time Slim Shady will put his signature flow behind a DJ Premier backdrop.

“It’s a song that he actually produced and he wasn’t crazy about the track,” Premier says as he recalls the conversation between he and Em. “(I told him) as long as I can strip it clean and do what I do with your vocals it will be dope,” and the final result according to Premier? “It’s dope!”

The former Gangstarr producer explained that he thought the initial song Eminem did with his own production was great but Eminem called, wanting that “DJ Premier sound.”
But how exactly will the two sound together?
“Man…Eminem is back,” Premier continues. “He attacked the track with a new style, just fucking ridiculous, kind of like how he came with ‘The Way I Am’ but even more lyrical like the old Eminem.”

With a legend like DJ Premier saying that the song is “ridiculous” what more can you expect? Be on the lookout for “Keys To The City” off of the as-yet-titled Eminem album dropping this year.

I was having a conversation just last night about how that lyrical Eminem needs to come back. And what better way to do it... ON A PREEMO TRACK!?!?!? This calbo is LONG OVERDUE!!! The day that record leaks, it will be on here for your listening pleasure.

Last I heard, Em's 5th LP entitled King Mathers, will drop this fall.

And on that note... I'm out.
