In little over a month, Saigon’s story will finally be told. But before heading to your local retailer, take a listen to the title track produced by Just Blaze. The Greatest Story Never Told drops on February 15th. Run and tell that. hhnm

Like they always do at this time: Def Jam drops a Ghost album at the end of the year with lil’ promo push. Not even a fuckin’ video yet for the first single “2getha Baby”. Damn shame. But it’s OK, the joints knock anyway. On his 6th album at L.A.’s house that Lyor built, Tony recruits some lyrical heavyweights for his soulful trip. He shines with Busta Rhymes over a Roy Ayers classic (“Superstar”), rides with his Wu brethren and […]

With Terrace Martin behind the boards, Devi Dev releases another another track from their The SEX ep. Get with the program, you’re fuckin’ wit a DPG.

No word on the whereabouts of Jeezy’s Thug Motivation 103, but DJ Folk comes through with a new cut produced by Drumma Boy featuring the United Street Dopeboyz of America. One lick can turn everything around.

There’s no question as to which coast Ice Cube loves the most. But what is debatable is the execution of his last album, I Am The West. Throughout the disc, Cube comes off grumpier than Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. As always, he challenges the status quo, but this time, with an old timer angst (“Too West Coast”,  “No Country For Young Men”, “Drink The Kool-Aid), and trite anthems, (“Life In California” and “Nothing Like In L.A.”). Make no mistake, […]

Not only is Gucci signed to Asylum Records, but he was also committed to one yesterday following his court appearance. According to TMZ, he filed a “Special Plea of Mental Incompetency” and explained that he could not “Intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing.” Smart strategy. Gucci is facing jail time on a 2010 probation violation.

We made magic at S.O.B.’s and then you all lamed out. Didn’t really appreciate the heatrocks that Joey Crack put out. You fuckin cocksuckers! To be fair, I’ve seen plenty of critics do the right thing and praise the first single with Jeezy “Slow Down”. Ha! But it’s deeper than that rap. How ’bout some hardcore? Cartagena cooks it up with Just Blaze (“I Am Crack”) and hustles with Cam and Pusha (“Kilo”). Plus he and Scoop DeVille flipped a […]

Rahim The Dream got his hands on Russell Simmons’ latest book, Super Rich decided to share a few excerpts on the mogul’s thoughts on Jay Electronica, “Exhibit C”, and Five Percenters. You can order your copy here.

Yo, where’s my hoodie?

If you’re confused like me about the status of Redman’s career, you are not alone. Reggie quietly dropped a few weeks ago and if you missed out, you aint missing nothing. After scrapping the Reggie Noble 9 1/2 concept, this album is an attempt to show EPMD’s protege’s growth and range. No “Sooperman Lover” tunes. No skits. But sadly, there’s very few good musical moments like the last song, “Tiger Style Crane”. The lyrical punchlines are mostly big misses. But […]
