!!BRAINWORM ALERT!!

Trae The Truth’s new mixtape, The Blackprint (see what he did there..) is oot now, and fairly bangin’, if you like your southern Rap. Trae is going for the title, at least the title of King of Houston, and here, him and cousin Z ro, give tribute to 2Pac, and rope one of the OUTLAWZ in for good measure..enjoy.

Chicky-Check

Z-ro, plus the, new, but dope to my ears Chris Ward resurrect Mr Dr Dre.

to a gangsterous effect.

“i could sell cocoa butter to a caucasian”, or of course “shit to an arab”

A$AP Rocky – Goldie

I’m loving this at the minute, and the video is awesome, too.

“so Bout it Bout it, that i might roll up in a tank”

The Question remains…

how long will this be on the interweb?

we are a lil sad, still, but there’s only one way to turn the frown upside down..

enjoy while you can, some unrealeased, Beatsie Boys.From a “Chappelle Show” that never made it..

they are/were such good live m.c’s, breath control, breath control styly/

LONDON BLUES…

rainy morning in the neighbourhood…this fits just right.

Unbeweavable..

Whilst checking out this Harry Fraud producer guy , i stumbled on this, expecting to hate it, due to the two gentleman rhymers, but, no, this is that dope right here, and i surrender my now former opinions about both dudes.

i was sleeping on them, but at least i’m honest. and open minded.

The Break.

Too $hort “Hog Ridin”

“Keep me high, Drugs is close…”

Maybe it is hip hop for white people (it seems), by a white Dude, But wasn’t Hip HopĀ  supposed to be about everyone integratin’, and just cutting to the good bit?

Player hate all you want…I give you, the New Mac Miller.

it’s 2012. Instead of jocking bad house music, like all your other favourite rap singers, young Malcom is actually doing something innovative, like stepping away from street based lyrics/imagery, doing his own thing, and stepping the production values way the fuck up at the same time..this could be/is, BIG, like Tom Hanks..

Jerm cooks up something that wouldn’t be out of place at magic city, complete with jokes or shots fired? Rick Ross adlibs, some southern 808 and a sharpened up flow.

His intonation definately has come on, he sure sounds surer than before, adapting the flow to the beat nicely.The 808 snaps,my favourite feature of Big Jerm’s shit, are probably better that Lex Luger’s, (yup., i said it) .

Hate Away, but it’s a sunny day, and i’m not listening..
