Thank Me Later dropped this week, the craziest release thus far this year, and truthfully unless Eminem pulls something incredible or Detox actually comes out this year, it probably won't be eclipsed. Check out my full track-by-track review of the album.
Finally got Shad's TSOL in the mail. iTunes blows, if they continue to boycott certain releases I will boycott it. Shad is one of the truest and original/traditional mc's in the game and the fact that you can't get up to date releases on iTunes is ludicrous (not to mention get it months late if it ends up getting released). Had to wait two and a half weeks for TSOL to be flown in from Canada but it was well worth the wait. Check out my full track-by-track review of the album. Stream at
Just found a Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y collabo mixtape called How Fly. It came out as somewhat of a prequel to Wiz Khalifa's Deal or No Deal and Curren$y's This Ain't No Mixtape, but it is nonetheless DOPE. The intro track, "Car Service" is set to the usual Wiz and $y style, but it is the best I have heard from either of them yet. They use a great sample (I am not totally sure what they use) and has the traditional instrument laden background (lots of flutes) topped off with the usual heavy bassdrop; and while they both resort to their traditonal thematic concepts (smokin weed like its their job), it actually works on this track. I don't know why, but it just does believe me. "Friendly" is found on Deal or No Deal and is actually my favorite track on Wiz's album, but truthfully "Car Service" still rains supreme on the tape. Another bone to pick with iTunes, they market Gucci's Burrrprint 2 HD but don't even have either of Wiz's best, Kush & OJ or Burn After Rolling. WTF, something is very wrong. Download at
Listen to Buck$- Been a Long Time (feat. Bobby Valentino). I found this track months ago (Kevin Miller can vouch for that) and absolutely loved it for the ridiculous beat and Bobby V.'s smooth background and chorus. Buck$ was the super producer behind Dem Franchize Boyz's major hits and recently made the crossover to the other side of the mic, and it has certainly worked out. "Been a Long Time" is finally getting heavy airplay on 93.7, which is great but also causes a great deal of frustration seeing as great tracks and unknown talent can't get the exposure they deserve in the industry. Complete BS. Stream and download at
Goon Affiliated came out. Major flop, and the first of Plies' short but prosperous career. Best songs are "Becky", "Medicine (feat. Keri Hilson)", "She Got It Made", "Chirpin (feat. Fella)", and "Bricks On Me" (feat. Fella)".
Big Boi's "General Patton" is straight fire, check it out. Stream and download
