Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
ultimate co signing ? “I WOULD DIE FOR THIS NIGGA” dam 9th beats are so good you would sacrifice your life lmao
9th Wonder has some joints forreal
I never got how out of all the super-fire tracks 9th has produced, Hov somehow managed to snag the worst one.
No not because of his beats, because he is one of my best friends. He could never make another beat in his life and he will still be my man until i die. I’m proud to have friends that i would give my life for. Maybe you should get you some. HaHa!!!!
@MC
have your heard THREAT???!!!
“I’m especially Joe Pesci with a friend, I will kill you, commit suicide and kill you again”
@HOVA!!
Yo…9th has beats that are 10X better than that shit. True story.
Threat, is one of Jay’s most underated songs.
I George Bush the button
Front of all you in your car lift up your hood nigga run it
Then lift up your whole hood like you got oil under it
Your boy got the goods y’all don’t want nuttin of it
Like, castor oil, I Castor Troy you
Change your face or the bullets change all that for you
People need to get more interviews with Young Guru, dude is a super cool interview.
*HAPPY DANCE* MY MAKE BELIEVE INTERNET BABY DADDY YOUNG GURU!!!
Yo, Young Guru is prolly the best engineer in the game and 9th Wonder is one of the greatest producers in the game as one of my favorites. He’s a big influence to me because his style is so unorthodox and he uses FL Studio w/ crazy samples like me. I never get tired of his sound. Its so crazy, yet smooth and soulful. Plus his knowledge on music in general is brilliant….And the beat for “Threat” is crazy. To this day, I still can’t remake that shit and I’ve made sum pretty dope/crazy beats, if I say so myself. Lol.
Dope video. “Speed” is probably one of my favorite Little Brother tracks.
I wrote my previous comment before I finished the whole thing. I agree with what someone said above about Guru’s interviews. He always has great stories and he’s been around for a lot of big moments in hip-hop.
9th Wonder is one of the greatest producers out there. People sleep on him, but he is just as good at soulful samples as anyone out there. Even Kanye. Just the work he did with Little Brother alone is incredible.

“I put the boy in the box,like David Blaine i let the audience watch” Oohhhh!!!!!
9th wonder is ill.. Very inovative.. He was one of the 1st producers that blew up off of software production.. I love the shit he did on minstral show and the shit he did with buckshot.. One of my boys uses fl simular to 9th.. I love the creative process of soul based beats..
Jay-z needs to get back w/9th for a track or 2 on his next album
9th is one of the illest out there …He brings the best out of any artist he works with especially underground artists like Buckshot, Skyzoo, LB, the justus league All NC Artists and the list goes on and his Label Jamla got some nice artist to me
David Blaine has very good showmanship and his magic tricks are good too.,`.
i like the magic tricks of David Blaine but Chris Angel is much better.”.`
“Threat” That verse was a classic. Accapella that on a Just Blaze track and it might stand out more.
both David Blaine and Chris Angel have great showmanship when it comes to magic tricks`,-
david blaine’s magic tricks are great for the streets, he is very talented indeed”:”
Blaine is not the best magician but i can say that he has great showmanship and i like his show `-’
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much approximately this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something. I think that you simply could do with some percent to force the message home a bit, however other than that, that is excellent blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
