“Not Fruity Loops, bitch”
Moog and SP-1200 machines, mic pre-amp talk, yup this is some true producer geek shit as DJ Quik gives up some good tips. Hey young trackmasters, you’re all welcome!
A lot more revealing than this shit.

While promoting his upcoming Crips and Bloods documentary with the homie DJ Skee, Baron Davis reveals that your boy Jayceon Taylor is a butcher on that basketball court. No wonder he doesn”t get no burn in them NBA celebrity games. Ha!

“All them dudes that talk about retirement and shit—God bless ’em. I’m not one of them dudes. When you’re in this business as long as me, you’re gonna retire to do what? I love what I do so much, I don’t foresee retirement ever. I’m probably gonna be one of the first muthafuckas on some Quincy Jones shit. I want to be able to put out a Q’s Jook Joint when I’m 65 years old.”
I hear you Bussa-Bus. No beach chair for YN either. Ha!

“You’re lucky Kimmel only rhymes with nimble, symbol and thimble… I was nimble, stuck a symbol up his ass and a thimble… You might get it, buddy.”
Last night, Em and 200 of his laid-off autoworker pals visited Jimmy Kimmel for a sitdown. Topped off with another performance of “We Made You” after the jump.

This is pretty surreal. I hope it wasn’t Aries Spears pullin’ a gag. Ha!

During his UK media blitz, Slim Shady sat down with one of the biggest shows out there, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. He also performs “We Made You” with Kon Artis as his hype man.
In my humble opinion, this is the only listenable song off this legendary group’s latest project with Nike. It’s not always about postin’ music—just because it’s new. At Rap Radar, we occasionally put up new music we personally co-sign. You might wanna try that sometime.

Wonder who used this? Ha!

“Is that all you monkey’s got?!”
No dancing this time, but this is still an interesting look into the making of Deeper Than Rap. After the jump, The Penguin pecks at Ricky to finalize the album’s tracklist. That Toomp sample cost some paper, huh? Let me find out.

Where do I get my footage? None of your biz. Don’t watch TV. Watch YNTV. On your computer screen!
One of my favorite blogger/vloggers weighs in on Marshall Mathers’ love for polysyllabic words. You know who my partner is, but if you don’t like Relapse you’re lying to yourself. Ha!
But I’ll let Billy Sunday DP tell it.
“Eminem’s latest album ‘Relapse’ is fantastic for it’s graphic gory content. This album is part of the great history of epic entertaining horror-core productions. This album is rap’s ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’. It is horrific, disgusting, profane, satirical and brilliant all at the same time. Lyrically, I consider this to be on a classic level. If the beats by Dr. Dre were swapped out for some of the dark production of DOOM, or more appropriately RZA, this album would be a certified classic. This drop though is to discuss the lyrical eminence of Eminem. A reader stated that this album was garbage. I don’t believe that reader listened to this album or if he did his ability to judge art is negligible.”
Read all about it.
See ya in the D next Tues. Ha! Confession: I never met Eminem. And I’m gonna try my best to keep it that way.
Believe it or not, Clifford Harris really is gonna go to jail. TMZ says it’ll be in a low security prison in Arkansas and he will report no later than noon on Day 26 May 26. And he’ll even have a jail roomie. Pause! Wonder if Tiny’s gonna give him the Whitney bearhug move on his release day, he’s gonna need it.

This is the illest shit I’ve ever seen. Instant classic! I almost cried at the end.
Pt. 2. So what you gonna do?
Look who called into my favorite morning show. Mental note: I’m gonna sign Angela Yee to the Rap Radar Conglomerate by the end of the day. She’s sittin’ on content!

At a recent show in San Fran, Sai Giddy performed one of my favorites. The bonus track from the much-heralded XXL Raps compilation, “Come Again.” That last sentence was typed with tongue placed firmly in cheek. Oh well one day, YN will EP (Executive Producer) an album again. Ha!

Although my light-skinned brother, DJ Drama reps the ATL to the fullest, my favorite jawn (Philly style) is the last track on GG2 featuring N’awlins finest. Who needs Wayne, when we have his fellow Hot Boys B.G. and Juve? Plus, a posthumous verse from Soulja Slim. How real is that?
{mp3}13 gotta get it featuring b.g juvenile and soulja slim{/mp3}
See ya at Best Buy on Tuesday, you bastards!
In case you ain’t figured it out yet, I’m bumpin’ that new Meth and Red. And despite my disgust of underwhelming Wu saturation, there’s indeed some heat on here. You young hip-hoppers on Twitter were right. YN’s gonna cop this one too on Tuesday.
You can’t go wrong with a good intro.

Embarrassed to admit, I don’t own this album.
Thanks Hip-Hop Is Read for making me feel like a loser. Ha!
it's a discursive way of doing rap
