In the final installment of my talk with Mr. Thompson I threw in some Twitter questions as Illadelph’s finest’s super mane got a touch up. A touchy subject was brought up when I mentioned Scott Storch. I had no recollection that Storch used a Roots track to make “Lighter’s Up” for his then girlfriend Lil Kim without permission. As you’ll soon see, the usually jovial music nerd is a grudge holder. I love it. Ha!
After the jump, lighters… up!

How ’bout a little West West as the sun is about to go down. This one features one of the most underrated rappers of all-time, WC and is off DJ Crazy Toones’ (the man above) new mix blog series. I don’t really know what that means but musically, this is some cool “Jackin’ For Beats” shit. Throw your set up!

The king of the ATL underground Killer Mike is back with the first single from his upcoming compilation album. If skills sold, truth be told, this guy would be a household name. The other guys here are cool but I ain’t vouchin’ for them. Ha!

The homie EMZ a.k.a. RapRadar’s secret weapon blessed me with me some unreleased LL rawness from the Mama Said Knock You Out sessions. We believe Marley Marl produced all 5 of these joints but we can’t prove it for certain but one thing we do know, y’all ain’t never heard this before. Ha!
If you missed your lunch break, well chew on this rap shit. You’re all welcome!

RapRadar’s favorite couple partied last night at The-Dream album release party in NYC.
More photos after jump.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
