Kim+Eminem=Remarried? Listen as Em chops it up with Mojo (yes, Howards replacement) yesterday morning in Detroit. Talking about rehab, wedding plans, and what else--Haley. Does anyone fuck with that new single?!? I don't. Peep the part with the caller who asks about Omar Benson Miller. I was wondering why dude was in both 8-Mile aaand Get Rich Or Die Trying.

CRACK FOR CHRISTMAS is coming, but for now we in Clover G land--Houston Is Mine.

Get your 3rd Bass game up. Make sure to check the pics and grab that YO MTV Rap Episode in the downloads section.

Go peep YOUTUBE for the do-it-yourself video uploads. Whether its the Sean Kemp/Reignman tribute (copped off kamoji) or the Juelz/Jeezy/Weezy video where Chris Dudley Clinton Sparks plays his himself, literally.


Notorious B.I.G ft Clipse-"Just a Memory"
Ok, this is the final piece to the final chapter of the post-mortum BIG albums. ( I HOPE) I knew Scram dropped a beat on the album, but didn't know which one. This one lifts the vocals off "You're Nobody Until Somebody Kills You" and Scram jumps behind the wheels for the hook. Pusha and Malice rep B.I.G's legacy correctly, and clearly putting the label situation out there for the world. The "label-limbo" can't get phase either one of these dudes-i mean P still "plays in the snow like Santa" and Malice, Mr. I-was-pushing-keys-in-a-V-with-no-roof. COKE RAP. Gotta love it.

LL Cool J ft Juelz-"Its LL & Santana"
LL's back for his 12th album--ok so this is the first leak record or maybe its the first single, does it even matter anymore? Well Just Blaze gets biz on the track, and Uncle JuJu defintiely brings is A! game on the record, but i can't take Uncle LL to serious anymore, I mean the Juvie and Birdman shoutout? the Screwed up sample? Make it more obvious you are trying to attach to current rap rather than sticking to the script. Yeahhh..gimme the instrumental,and im good. Ill forget about this joint within a week.

334 MO.B.B

334 MO.B.B-"Check Me Out (Take A Picture)"

Dirty Harry does it again! This time dude comes back and Lebron's the game and adds another classic to the collection--The first installment of 'Living Legends' features Nas, and is flawless. Mixunit quotes it as, "Possibly the best Nas mixtape EVER!?!"--i'm not mad at yall.

The Smoking Section

MattSoReal, the Mayor of Houston Music, getting major over at HoustonSoReal has dedicated the entire month of October to Bun B--im hoping for some pre-album exclusives, and maybe even that Dizee/Bun B collabo. I will forever hold dude down for bringing Devin to NYC on my birthday--nothing better than listening to 'Doobi Ashtray' with a pocketfull of Sour Deisel. While your there grab that Rapid Ric joint..here's one of my favorite Bun verses, off the Scarface 'Last Of The Dying Breed' album.

SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE FLOW™

THURSDAY OCTOBER 6th AVALON 8PM

50 Cent-"Window Shopper"
This joint is gonna appear on the soundtrack to 50s 8 Mile knockoff. I hate that i kind of like this joint. The sample is lifted from a Bob Marley joint, 'Burnin and Lootin' Meanwhile his other joint--'Hustler's Ambition' uses the same Frankie Beverly and Maze sample used on Jeezy's 'Talk To Em' peep it here.

Rick James-"Mary Jane" (Green Lantern Remix)
Fuck around and let the Evil Genius put out his own remix album. I don't know where or what this is from, but im fuckin with Green on this one. Slowed down the tempo and threw some crazy Im A Hustler drums over it, unfortunately Green didn't put cuts anywhere on it.

Styles P-"The Key"
I had to add another banger off the new Styles mixtape out. Vinny Idol has been lacing all these D-Block mixtapes with some real heat, and this is another example. The entire tape has fire on it, don't sleep on 'Ghost P' and Ghost Stories part 1 and 2. The beat selection on the freestyles are on point. Mario dug up beats such as KRS' 'The MC' and RUN DMC's 'Beats To The Rhyme' this type of selection hasn't been matched since um...the Clipse's picks of Show and AG's 'Next Level' and Outkast's 'Elevators'.

Hip Hop Quotables
update this more maaaaan!

DON'T SPEAK MUCH

Jamie Foxx feat. Ludacris-"Unpredictable"
Willie Beamen is at it again! Luckily, for us this single is def hotter than the throwaway joint him and Kanye collabo'ed on.

Notorious B.I.G feat. Bob Marley-"Hold Ya Head" (AOL VERSION)
The first single from the up and coming "Notorious Duets: The Last Chapter". The album is slated to drop on November 22nd and has features ranging from Ludacris to Q-Tip. This joint is basically a re-worked version of "Suicidal Thoughts", with Bob on the hook. I am hoping for some unheard lyrics to pop up on this LP, like that DJ ENVY/PEPSI commercial that never saw the light of day.

Styles P feat. Sizzla-"I'm Black" (RMX)
The remix of Styles first joint which hit radio hard, and was then pulled from rotation due to the content of the song. This version features Damon Dash Music Group signee Sizzla Kalonji doing the hook, then trading verses with Mr. Holiday Styles himself. The track is off the new "Ghost in the Machine" mixtape available at from your local bootlegger.

Beautiful Hustle (SHOUTS TO ESSY!)

Listen to Wendy Williams chop it up with Kanye yesterday in NYC--airing out such rumors as the Shirley Bassey lawsuit, the repurcussions of his George Bush comments, and much much more.

BACK ON MY BULLSHIT

Dont forget to check out VH-1's "Hip Hop Honors" tonight at 9pm. Word is the Kane/Kanye performance is worth it.


Raekwon-"Apple Jax"
Lotta Rae material leaking lately--unfortunately this joint isn't as hot as the last couple of joints to break through to the internets. Actually, this joint doesn't even sound finished--Rae spits some gems, but the weed carrier on the hook, i can definitely do without. I'm still thinking this album can shape up real nice.

Purple Ribbon Allstars-"Body Rock" (its no Kryptonite)

Re-Up Gang-"Monopoly"
Re-working the classic Show and AG joint, fucking genius. Nuff said. Cop this disc

50 Cent-"Window Shopper"

T-Pain feat. Styles P-"So High"
T-Pain (short for Tallahasse Pain) will soon be all over your MTV--remember where you heard it first. Y'all might remember the joint "I'm Sprung" out couple months back featuring Stat Quo (that never really popped). Well, the newest signee to Akon's new imprint Konvict Music, T-Painis back and brings some real fire with this joint. This is the second joint i've heard from dude this week-his other joint "I'm In Love With A Stripper" flexes more of the commercial appeal. Styles jumps off this track and brings that street thuggery to the bouncy track, but it isn't until T-Pain gets on the mic when shit gets really real. Unfortunately this dude will not appreciate yet another 'Ode To Weed' (via catchdubs)

Ghostface-"Be Easy" Produced by Pete Rock

Need more Pete Rock? Joey sprinkled some classics over at Straight Bangin.

I DOES THIS

Ask about me...

Obie Trice-"They Wanna Know"
2nd ROUND'S ON ME!! If this Emile-produced banger, featured during the end credits of one of this season's Entourage, is any indication of how Motor City's most underrated album might shape up, then daaamn. I gotta give it to dude, Emile..his last 2 joints i heard (this and Rhymefest-"All I Do") BANGERS.

Raekwon-"Treasurer"
New banger from the chef..some leak joint promoting "OB4CB2". Rae spits vintage over the slow tempo'ed neck-breakin beat. The quick shout to the incarcerated scarfaces did it for me. Shouts to DJ Riddler for this one. Listening to this joint gets me tight that I missed dude kill it in front of the live band in NYC last week. If you missed it like i did, you can peep him rock C.R.E.A.M live tho...WHO GOT THAT GOOD CRACK?! Great minds think alike!

AZ-"Never Change"
Album cut off of Sosa's up-coming album A.W.O.L. So what..i'm a sucker for the vocal-samples still. This joint has that fly shape-up/Gucci Shade AZ flow all over it. The album filled-out real well with appearances by Ghost, Rae, Bounty Killer, and even a sick 16 from Half-a-Mil (RIP). The bonus joints on the album include the bangers "Live Wire" and "Magic Hour" featuring CL Smooth.

Mixtape Radio is looking to do a mixtape to raise funds for disaster relief from Hurricane Katrine. The mixtape will be a 2CD mixtape.

For anyone interested in adding material, email mixtaperadio.net@gmail.com, make sure to put "MIXTAPE RADIO Disaster Relief Mixtape" in the subject.

Kanyeezey+Jeezy ??

VH1 is doing another Hip Hop Honors this month. They have yet to update their website with any info, but i saw the commercial and it looked like it had potential with tributes to Big Daddy Kane and Biggie.

New Whoo Kid mixtape is dropping. Aside from G-Unit's response to Game "300 Bars", you can expect new Young Buck, Mase Murda skits, and live versions of your favorite Tony Yayo songs.


I don't normally post up eardrum-popping Kayslay-heavy tracks, but this new Juelz joint featuring Cam'ron was too dope to resist. Re-using the "World Of Music/Welcome To Jamrock" sample over an obnoxious, (in a very dope way) west-coast heavy bass line the joint features a dope Juelz verse, with an even doper Cam appearance. You can find this joint on one of Slay's new mixtapes. For those who haven't heard Slay is the latest addition to Sirius' SHADE45 station.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND BONUS JOINTS:

Kool G Rap & Canibus-"Gun Ho City"

Heltah Skeltah & Thirston Howl III-"It Gets No Better"

Gold Digger-Kanye West ft. Jamie Foxx

So i been home sick the last day or so, and i managed to catch up on some leisure reading, im open for new books so people add on!The first joint i ran through was James Frey's, "My Friend Leonard". It was a good fast read, and i was mad amped to hear that dude was doing follow up to "A Million Little Pieces", but this didnt have the edginess that the first book had.
My second was the newly paperback'ed "The Bad Guys Won", by Jeff Pearlmen which is perfectly summed up as "a season of brawling, boozing, bimbo chasing, and championship baseball with Straw, Doc, Mookie, Nails, The Kid, and the rest of the 1986 Mets, the Rowdiest Team to ever put on a New York uniform. MUST READ for any Mets fan. Now i remember the "Lets Go Mets" video, but i dont remember "Lets Get Mesmerized and even more importantly--how do i never remember hearing D-Straw's solo record?!?!?!

Kaleefah and the NYT break down the recent raid on Mondo Kim's, a NYC record shop, in which 5 employees were arrested for the store's sale of mixtapes. The article is featured in the Arts section, and highlights the irony in which record labels have made contributions to the late Justo Faison, but yet still attack the mixtape market. Shout out to my pops for putting me up on this!

FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL

Ok first off fat fuckyou's to whoever has been stealing my cable..shits been up and down since Sunday..

So by now everyone has heard about the shit poppin down in ATL--now i do have both joints, but i'm kinda dropping a mixtape in a week--so why don't yall just wait and cop that shiiiiiii..in the mean time peep the Jeezy video for "Over Here" feat Bun B, and always remember, "I'm the shit bitch, I need toilet paper, and some air freshener nigga, fuck a hater!"

Its bittersweet because i'm amped that Pickin Boogers is back, but Gun Yoga seems to have done his best Reggie Miller, and gave up the game.

Speaking of games-when the Yanks leave Shea on the 7 train on Sunday afternoon, the Mets will have grabbed 2 outta 3 from the bombers, I will be in the building for the Benson v Unit game on Sat--holler at the bleacher seats!

With summer time around the corner, my tee game is about to get real!!!

MANIC MONDAY

Aight yall--I apologize--i been off my blogonomics lately. I'mma try to go extra-hard this week..So lets get it.

First and foremost, RIP JUSTO FAISON.. By now, anyone who knows anything has heard that the mixtape game has lost on of its greatest pioneers. Rapmullet has dedicated their main page with respects to the dude, including a DOPE tribute freestyle by the bounce master himself, Doo Woop (who has been killing everything he's been rhyming on lately). Mixtape Magazine has also dedicated a page to the legend. Mixtape Mag is also kicking off their launch party this week @ Coral Room.

Is that 50 or Jay-Z? Nah thats Thug..

Bacon Strips Bandages

I am not even going to attempt to come up with a funny little saying for this story. I can't even think of one. This quote is priceless though,

"She was three meters (10 feet) tall and had six fingers, but otherwise she looked completely like a human," he says of his close encounter with an alien species. "I told my wife all about it afterwards. She wasn't too angry."

Young Gunz do the NETS anthem? How do you think Philly feels about this?

In other Philly sports news, Fuck TO.

I had heard the rumors over the weekend of Green Lantern peacing out from Shady, and allhiphop pretty much confirms it. The infamous DVD is called The Come Up--brought to you by Cutrashter C and the good people at Dirty Money.

Even though the Damian Marley joint 'Welcome To Jamrock' is still flooding the streets, the B-Side, 'Lyrical 44' features Meth and Red--and its kinda aight. My other reggae joint du jour is I-Wayne's 'Cant Satisfy Her', so snack on that!
