Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
This sounds smooth. Boss Hogg Outlawz’ L.E.$ rounds up a few familiar faces for this West Coast-type groove, produced by Da Hit Factory. Menace coming soon.
Wipe your feet, but bring your weed upon entering. Pittsburgh’s ID Labs Studios has housed some of thee great recordings from Wiz Khalifa to Mac Miller. Continuing his homecoming tour, Mac invites MTV inside.
“There’s definitely a sound within the people that work out of here,” E. Dan says of his studio and its in-house producers, Big Jerm and Sayez. “It’s hard for me to say what an actual definitive sound of Pittsburgh is; I think it’s probably a combination of a lot of stuff. We’re not in New York; we’re not in L.A.; we’re not in one of the epicenters of hip-hop. I feel like, we’re, if anything, a combination of all that.”
Mac reaches into his stash and pulls out one of the tracks he recently recorded with Killa. Can you dig it? We sure can. Big Jerm on the beat.
During Mac’s homecoming concert last December, he brought MTV to the place named after his debut album. Damn, red vandals.
“No matter what happens in life, no matter where you go, where you’re off to, what happens with the park, that slide will always be blue. That will always be Blue Slide Park no matter what. You can go to New York and live for 10 years and become a huge business mogul and then come back to the ‘Burgh and no matter how much money you got, that slide is still blue.”
In preparation of Mr. Peter Parker and DJ Whoo Kid’s #FratTrap mixtape, Mac Miller puts the nail in the coffin with it’s first offering, but old recording. Emcees, beware. Project drops February 2.
Just can’t wait to get on the road again, eh? Last week, Mac Miller announced his The Macadelic Tour and is bringing The Cool Kids along with him. Peep when the trek hits your vicinity after the jump.
It’s that time of the year folks and above is the official line up for the annual Paid Dues music festival, which takes place on April 7th at the Nos Events Center in San Bernardino, CA. Purchase tickets here.
After releasing a steady stream of mixtapes, Mac stepped up to the plate last year and delivered his independent debut, Blue Slide Park. With ID Labs handling a majority of the sound bed, Mac proved he wasn’t all party and bullshit. He gives haters the cold shoulder (“Smile Back”, “Of The Soul” ), helps White girls lost (“Diamonds & Gold”), and enjoys the fruits of his labor (“Man In The Hat”). But despite his new found success, Mac doesn’t forget about his Pittsburgh base (“PA Nights”, “My Team” ,”Frick Park Market”). Blue Slide meet blue collar.
Mac Miller is back in the zone, and lets loose a new record dedicated to his hometown record store. Never too late to cop Blue Slide Park there or everywhere.
