Rap Radar

Last week, DJ Kay Slay’s Streetsweeper Radio show invited Pusha T and, of course, he supplied an in-studio performance. We wonder if Birdman tuned in:

“New God Flow” was about, in my view, something I read in a Birdman interview that I didn’t like. He said something like “G.O.O.D. Music isn’t nothing” and it had nothing to do with Wayne or Drake per se. That was Birdman saying whatever he wanted to say and that was the basis of where all of my lines came from. Everybody else was on their love of Hip-Hop s**t.

DJ Paul was arrested last weekend in NYC for carrying a taser while drinking alcohol from an open container. He spent a day in jail and spoke on his experience with Sway In The Morning. Getting served McDonalds while locked up? Lovin’ it.

T.I.P. brought his Grand Hustle family over to Shade 45. During their discussion on Sway In The Morning, they eventually each displayed their capabilities on the mic.

Last Tuesday, Talib Kweli checked in DJ Tony Touch’s show and carried on tradition by kicking a freestyle. Prisoners of Conscious coming November 20.

Maino and his cosa nostra packed Sway’s morning show and invidually took turns rapping over the “Stay Schemin” beat. If you haven’t yet, download The Mafia mixtape here.

Last Thursday, Boaz kicked it with Statik Selektah and blessed the mic with an exclusive rhyme. If you like what you hear, be sure to download his Bases Loaded here.

Following his visit on Power 105, The Abbot continued his radio promo over at Shade 45 and threw a few darts over the airwaves. Looks like Bobby Digital hasn’t lost his aim.

A few weeks ago, Roscoe Dash ranted on Twitter for not receiving songwriting credit on Cruel Summer and other songs. On Sway In The Morning, he says his name was omitted due to a typo. A typo?

Juicy J visits DJ Kay Slay’s Streetsweeper Radio for an in-studio version of “Codeine Cups”. Would have preferred a live “Bandz”, but guess that would have been pointless if they ain’t showing pussy.

Seats were all filled early in the morning on Shade 45. As Ski Beatz sat in the back playing various beats, Murs (with his iPad), Fashawn and Chris Webby took turns stepping to the mic.
