So far, one of the highlights of my career was penning Boosie’s 2007 feature in XXL’s inaugural Freshman 10 issue. Technically, it was it my first cover story. At the time, he was gaining national attention for his verse on the “Wipe Down (Remix)”. A year later on the street cut, “Don’t I Act A Donkey” he quipped: “I’m bout my mill muthafucka, XXL cover/ But I stand out from everybody though and everybody know”. Here, Boosie reflects on his appearance.

Earlier today, I had a pow wow with señor Bad Azz at Asylum Records. For those keeping score, it’s been three years since the release of Bad Azz. And while most artists fade to obscurity, mixtape releases and guest spots helped preserve his buzz. Following up with Superbad on September 15th, Boosie talks about the postponment. Hang tight, more clips on the way.

There was a big listening of Man On The Moon tonight in the NYC. Lots of journalists and bloggers had their phones and flip cams confiscated to experience the event. Well, YN is still on his couch. But thankfully, my folks at Showing Out hit me with a recap. Like a lot of folks I’m following on Twitter, they’re feelin’ the album. Now this is a bold statement: To put it bluntly, Kanye wishes that he could have made this […]

Now this is a bold statement: To put it bluntly, Kanye wishes that he could have made this album, one that sounds genuine without a single forced element.

Well, read all about here.

The Aftermath producer breaks down the creation of the music behind the Clipse’s first single. I know for a fact that track went through several hands through the years before gettin’ to the Thornton Brothers. But obviously, it was meant to be. The boys from VA nailed this one. Ugh!

Props: HHO

Here’s a lil somethin’, lil somethin’ from Mr. D’Agostino. The Evil Genius has a great ear for this rap shit. Listen and learn.

Bonus: This is a fave of the Mrs. and it’s actually tighter than the AG version.

Update 3: Now with lyrics!

I remember when LowKey on the low sent me the annoyingly-tagged up early copy of “S.L.U.” I wasn’t even back in the game then. My how times have changed. Honestly, I didn’t recall Clifford changed his bars on this but so glad he did. Minus the colder than February line, I used to think his verse was the best on the final mix. Don’t shoot me. Think we all agree the following is pretty underwhelming.

Sidebar: Hopefully, we’re two days away from “Forever” and why would you ever change the hook? Somebody get Mack Maine on the phone!

Update: Uh oh, it just leaked.
