It wasn’t all 90s during Ball and G’s show at the Barbarella. Here’s two selections off their two Bad Boy releases, 2004’s Living Legends and ’07’s Riding High. Puff, what up? Previously: “Comin’ Out Hard” x “Armed Robbery”
[vodpod id=Video.3298867&w=425&h=350&fv=] Elliott did one of these a few weeks ago. Now it’s Yayo’s turn to go through the ringer with Dee Vazquez. These aren’t your normal 21 questions.
Puttin’ the Stimulus Package material on hold for a sec, Philly Freeze breezes through two of his more feisty lyrical exercises. The boy’s bars is up!
Witness the bizarre but hilarious ending to the big reunion show. Is Koopa so sincere? You be the judge. Sidebar: I forgot about Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones.
Very few of you rap fans were priviliged enough to witness the entire Noisemakers event in Austin. But of course I did. I document culture. I don’t know what they do? Anyways, here’s the other Rosenberg in my life’s introduction for the Texas legend. Somebody hit dude on Twitter and see if I can let this whole thing go already. Ha!
Following Freddie that night, Donnis presented another new joint to the rowdy mass. Sounds good to me. We patiently wait for Fashionably Late. Previously: Donnis Debuts “Tonight”
Be clear Freddie Gibbs had more shows in Austin than Jamaicans got jobs. Here he was Friday night at the Mohawk runnin’ solo through his Pill collab and later he goes shirtless (pause) and blacks out on his true gangsta tale. That boy good. Just ask Rolling Stone.
T.I. is officially a free man. Today, the rapper completed his jail sentence after spending the last 30 days in an Atlanta halfway house. However his lawyer says he will now be placed on 23 days of supervised release, which consists of a 11 p.m. curfew, 400 hours of community service, and probation for another three years. TMZ
No matter how big or small the crowd is, Yela sure does deliver a high octane performance. Peep him getting his Method Man on at a Karmaloop shindig in Austin. Hey man, watch them ‘bows.
Ricky hooks up with his labelmate to remix the number one song in the country. That’s a big enough move. Rap Up
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.
