In my humble opinion, this is the only listenable song off this legendary group’s latest project with Nike. It’s not always about postin’ music—just because it’s new. At Rap Radar, we occasionally put up new music we personally co-sign. You might wanna try that sometime.

New York interviews Nasir’s ol’ man, Olu Dara. Father always knows best.
He also raps about you, most notably on “Poppa Was a Player.”
Oh, I heard that in the street one day. Years ago, I was walking down
the street, and I heard his voice, and I asked the guys on the stoop,
who is that? They said, that’s Nas! Looking at me like an old man, ‘you
don’t know about this shit.’ They said, ‘he’s talking about his father
Olu.’ And they kept listening. I said, ‘I’m Olu.’ And they looked at me
like, ‘get the hell out of here.’

“Is that all you monkey’s got?!”
No dancing this time, but this is still an interesting look into the making of Deeper Than Rap. After the jump, The Penguin pecks at Ricky to finalize the album’s tracklist. That Toomp sample cost some paper, huh? Let me find out.

Where do I get my footage? None of your biz. Don’t watch TV. Watch YNTV. On your computer screen!
Jason told the 1515 Boys that he plans to call his fourth album, Top Five, Dead or Alive. Take that, Mr. Budden! Plus, he only wants to work exclusively with certain producers.
“I’m definitely going back in,” the Yonkers native said. “The D-Block album is wrapped up. I’mma make sure we finish this LOX album, and I’m coming right back at the end of the year. I think I’m gonna call it Top Five, Dead or Alive.
I’m only gonna work with Primo [DJ Premier], Alchemist, Swizz Beatz,
Dame Grease, sh– like that. Have a couple of South [producers], and
that’s it. Wham!”

One of my favorite blogger/vloggers weighs in on Marshall Mathers’ love for polysyllabic words. You know who my partner is, but if you don’t like Relapse you’re lying to yourself. Ha!
But I’ll let Billy Sunday DP tell it.
“Eminem’s latest album ‘Relapse’ is fantastic for it’s graphic gory content. This album is part of the great history of epic entertaining horror-core productions. This album is rap’s ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’. It is horrific, disgusting, profane, satirical and brilliant all at the same time. Lyrically, I consider this to be on a classic level. If the beats by Dr. Dre were swapped out for some of the dark production of DOOM, or more appropriately RZA, this album would be a certified classic. This drop though is to discuss the lyrical eminence of Eminem. A reader stated that this album was garbage. I don’t believe that reader listened to this album or if he did his ability to judge art is negligible.”
Read all about it.
See ya in the D next Tues. Ha! Confession: I never met Eminem. And I’m gonna try my best to keep it that way.
Believe it or not, Clifford Harris really is gonna go to jail. TMZ says it’ll be in a low security prison in Arkansas and he will report no later than noon on Day 26 May 26. And he’ll even have a jail roomie. Pause! Wonder if Tiny’s gonna give him the Whitney bearhug move on his release day, he’s gonna need it.

You read right, in the clip DeAndre drops a gem on ’em for Drizzy Drake.
“What advice [would I give to Drake]? Just take it and run
with it, man,” Soulja said Wednesday in the MTV Newsroom. “I don’t know
if I really had that type of buzz around me coming into the game. I
been hearing about Drake for a minute. You just hear it, like when
people be gossiping like, ‘Man, Drake the truth. He goes harder than
Wayne, man.’ I never really had that. Look what I did. With people
talking about him like that, just take it and run with it, man.”
Spoken like a true O.G. Ha!

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.
