Back in ego trip’s Book of Rap Lists, we wrote about how underappreciated the Kingz from Texas were. Now 10 years later, I’m still waving the flag for one of the finest groups the Dirty South has ever produced. Their final album dropped last March and fits rather nicely in their terrific catalogue. After Pimp’s passing, Bun put together these final recordings and did justice to their legacy. The twangy thump of “Da Game Been Good To Me,” the strip […]

Nice shot of Ri-Ri and the LA Dodger. The two are still in Mexico. Eat your heart out, Breezy. Jezebel

I keep hearing a version of Puff’s “Love Come Down” on the radio that uses this and it’s way better than the original and, of course, “Angels” too. Ha.

Before the Birdman swooped in and saved him with a CM contract, Shad spent last spring reuniting with JD and droppin’ another brick. Why was Bow Wow sixth album such a flop? Well besides the TLC “Baby-Baby-Baby” bounce of the strong lead single “You Can Get It All” there’s nothing here memorable or bumpable. A record with Ron Browz and Nelly (“What They Call Me (Big Time)”, more Auto-Tune with T-Pain (“She’s My”) and do we really wanna hear about […]

Monday night’s Lip Service show with Angela Yee and Leah Rose was packed with a big time line-up. In the house were Q-Tip, Rosa Acosta and Joe Budden, who explains in the following clip, why sometimes you gotta turn down a bad bitch. Finger test, Miss? Full Audio: DJ Wonder

Wow, you think you’re sick of hearing “Empire” on your boombox, this heavy-rotator ran radio for the first half of 2009. Still it took a long time for me to get sick of this one. Who doesn’t enjoy a fine beverage occasionally and this joint makes you feel like the party is just startin’ to get crackin’. Ah, look at T-Pain in his last moments in the spotlight adding his hitmaking magic. And although he still fights for respect, Jamie […]

Crack’s my man but this album was the biggest misstep his career has seen thus far. In many ways, it wasn’t his fault. J.O.S.E. 2 was DOA, due to behind the scenes label drama, more release date pushbacks than Mystikal’s hairline and as I detailed last October, sample clearance issues that ruined two strong records, “Joey Don’t Do It” and “Music”. One cut on this CD could have it salvaged it but “Congratulations” should have been a dolo Joe record […]

Sometimes I feel sorry for the fathers who actually take care of their daughters. “I like a long haired thick red bone. Open up her legs then filet mignon that pussy. I’m a get in and on that pussy. Gon throw it back and bust it open like ‘posed to. Girl I got that dope dick. Now come here let me dope you.” Okay, the radio edit scrambles it up nicely but you get the gist. Still this song is […]

“When you hear her on it, you’ll understand why she was perfect for it” In a sitdown with Billboard (might need a subscription to view), Game revealed that his song with YM’s femme fatale has quite a controversial title. What’d you expect? Apparently, Drumma Boy did the beat on that one. My Lord. Previously: Nicki Minaj Makes The R.E.D. Album
