Surprised? Oh, quit your jibber jabber. Waka himself would probably admit that he’s no wizard of poetry. But for what he lacks in skill set, his debut Flockaveli makes up for in entertainment value. Produced majorly by Lex Luger, the project is buoyed by hypnotic drum and horn patterns. Ironically, the tracks are more effective individually than in their sequence, ie: the album’s big three:, “O Let’s Do It” , “Hard In The Paint” and “No Hands.” Really, it’s Waka’s […]

Although Kanye said “Watch The Throne coming in one week, nigga” on New Year’s, a lil’ birdie told Andrew over at FSD, that said project would be dropping on Tuesday, March 1st. If it means anything, the duo met yesterday at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo. Maybe they were deciding the first single. Check the YBF for a few pics.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way man. After being jailed before the release of 2009’s stellar The State vs. Radric Davis, Gucci Mane was supposed to further ascend to the top of the Southern rap game after his release last summer. Instead, this past fall, we got this uneven album that fell way short of expectations. Swizz Beatz’s golden touch was missing on the album’s lead single “Gucci Time”. A joint so sucky that Schoolly D shoulda sued. Although […]
Jon Connor maintains his viral presense with a new freestyle. Listen carefully, this guy’s flow is psycho.
Mainodamus returns with new set of predictions for two thousand and eleven. Let’s see if they hold up, last year’s premonitions were a lil’ shaky.
Lloyd Banks proved that his eyes weren’t bigger than his stomach with last year’s sleeper, The Hunger For More 2. From the onset, the project curbs hip-hop fans appetites with aggressive production and sharp writing (“Take ‘Em To War,” “Home Sweet Home”). Banks continued this approach on tracks like his comeback hit, “Beamer, Benz Or Bentley”, and the star-studded “Start It Up”. Elsewhere, he caters to his female base without losing his edge (“I Don’t Deserve You” and “Any Girl”). […]
Angie Martinez debuted the official remix to Dirty Money’s latest single. Joining Puff on the track is the Queen and Mr. Carter. Gotta love it. UPDATE: No tags courtesy of ThisIsRNB.
Mac’s back. And starting next week is embarking on his Incredibly Dope Tour. Check if the name holds up when it comes to your city after the jump.
While Lil Wayne sat in the clinker earlier this year, the good folks over at Cash Money Recordings turned Carter IV scraps into Weezy’s eighth studio album, I Am Not A Human Being. Although the project went gold and spawned the hit, “Right Above It” and “I’m Single” the overall effort lacked continuity. Titles like, “With You”, “Popular”, “What’s Wrong With Them”, “Gonorrhea”, and “That Aint Me” just seem out of place with the LP’s biggest hits. Surely, Weezy will […]
This is just sad. Although the name of the song is “Big Spenderz”, Redman cuts a few corners by filming himself and Ready Roc for the song’s visual aid. This is defjammable despicable.
Tyler really snapped on Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale! Each track feels like a fresh chapter, raw and creative. Listening to it at Akala Residences just hits different — perfect vibe, perfect setting. This album’s deluxe edition is pure artistic gold.
