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.

Bun B ft. Slim Thug, Chamillionaire, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Lil Flip, Z-Ro, Aztek

*** Someone with some writing skills needs to do an in-depth on the impact of the posse cut and the current state of hip-hop. Cut me my 20% after its done.

334 MO.B.B
..do the knowledge

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.
..go feed your ears.

MURCIELAGO

Holding down NYC's public access TV for years--Mad Ciphas has finally brought MNN's best kept secret to the internet. The first Mixtape Television Show of its kind, the 30 minute show features performances of your favorite artist's favorite artist spitting for the camera. Its definitely originally and capture a ton of talent. In any episode you might catch Jae Millz rhyming with his throwback-rocking, oversize fitted sporting Wanna Blow crew in Cipha's basement or Cipha's could even run up on Chingo Bling, and catch him spitting a flow for the camera in the streets. The show aims to match a face to the many MC's you may hear on the radio, or a mixtape but don't have that no-video-budget-money.. Check it out every Sunday night at 10:30 on MNN, if you're stuck watching BCAT way out in Mill Basin, MNN holds you down with a weekly stream at the same time.
..hear it, see it

The Smoking Section
..LIGHT UP!

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.

2005-09-27T09:52:00.000-07:00

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'.

DON'T SPEAK MUCH

2005-09-27T08:19:00.000-07:00

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.

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)

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.

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?!?!?! Run DMC samples, shout outs to Eric Davis, the line, "I AINT SOFT, I EVEN GET PAID ON MY DAYS OFF!!"

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.

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.

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."

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!

Ok..So, I just got off the phone with a mixtape websites I do business with (who will remain anonymous at this point). He goes on to tell me that he had been set-up by someone posing as an interested "wholesaler" for mix cds. Now, the switch begins...the wholesaler you are dealing with turns out to be an agent from this company, GrayZone Inc. GrayZone describes themselves as " a professional consulting firm that provides investigative, paralegal and research services to members of the entertainment community." Really all they are is some mark-ass snitches for the RIAA, and here's the proof. I'd like to hear peoples thoughts on this whole thing.

NOW BACK TO BUSINESS...

Ya never know how many people check this til i get hate emails like "ya blog is fallin off", or "why you aint update your site?" So im rejuvanated..now its time to get that New York Times linkage (as Ian threw down so effortlessly).

In any case, I guess people obviously check it though (even though no one comments) I guess i'm just on that 4am, why did i go through a pack of cigarettes in a day type shit right now..It is what it is, and fuckit imma stick with it cause it can only get bigger...and in continuation with the Wu undertone this shit was created under imma go out and say it..I'm the ODB of this shit--cause there is noo father to my style..

The entire artwork (doublesided 4-panels) is Gravy jacking the Reasonable Doubt Cover down to the same hat, pinstriped suit, cigar in his mouth. The inside has Gravy's grill, in his best Ready To Die pose. They kid must have a deal with WB already cause the logo is all over this piece, plus Kevin Liles is credited as executive producer--since when do people put credits on a mixtape I can't wait to see if this is embraced or rejected. Here's some joints to make your own call.

..speaking of which what does hoefax have in store for us?

For the New Yorkers, go in this piece Lil Jon and AOL Music Live join forces as he rocks out Webster Hall tonight at 9pm. The concert is free i believe, but will also be webcasted here. So, if your looking to get geeked up on crunk-juice and wild out with Jonathan Smith here's how its goin down...Doors open at 7pm, but close at 8:30 SHARP! Webster Hall is located at 125 E. 11th street between 3rd and 4th Ave (i believe)

Imma try to be in the building so look for the dude with the Lil Jon clip-on dreads and some grillz made out of Rolo chocolates foil.

Imma keep it in the "A" for a quick minute and throw two joints atcha..The first one, "Your Gonna Love Me",by Back Wudz is on the older tip but it is definitely flame-on, (If you caught either Be South or the Drama ioint--Weezy destroys it). The other is the new Youngbloodz joint, "Everyone Know Me" where the hook chops up the Willie D's classic line "I make big money, I drive big cars/ Everybody know me, it’s like I’m a movie star".

Iron Mike is baaa-aaack.

Who runs New Jerz? Jump Off Buddens has a thing or two to say about it..

Fuckit, im not holding back at all--i slacked enough last week. So here's Kayslay "The Mixtape Maniac's" ultimate posse cut. "Rollin 25 Deep",is the 'who's next?' of new mcs..at 8 minutes long, 25 of the dopest up-and-comers (i'm not naming them, all get your game up) at 8 bars a piece..imma get on some down south shit like this..producers holla with that heat!

Chris at Lemon-Red got the ills as of late, although the posts talks about losing his readers--he just gained one with his Deadwood episode breakdown.

Dubya's ipod playlist (NYTIMES-for the non-subscribers peep the cnn version)

Lastly, has anyone caught the commerical for Dannon's Frusion drink commercials?? It's sad to see Joe Clair aka Joe Cleezy aka The Mayor of Rap City dancing and singing like that. Can't someone get this man a job?? Maybe some radio somewhere,throw him on a skit (think OGC) fuckit throw the dude a UPN sitcom if he's into acting, anythign is better than that damn commerical! (Speaking of which, whatever happened to Big Lez??)

With Common's album dropping soon (pushed up release date, im sure), Bump J buzzing heavy, is Sani G the next to blow? His joint, "Pussy" with Devin tha Dude is the cut. Shit, anything can happen now even the Bulls are in the playoffs.

"Even Fat Joe was forced to cop plea's"

A day late or a dollar short, anyway-this is might be last week's news, but my man Opus over at trick breaks down the new BETxDame TV series spotted here.

"I'ts been a long time since i left you, without a dope rhyme to step to"

Maaan, i been off my B-L-O-G, with the warm weather--so excuse the delays,. Plus i got the cd out there around the city. Sites are starting to show love, trust..the masses need this.

I'm gonna be all over today, so bare with me..first and foremost..fuck Time-Warner cable! The DVR box i pay way too much for is a piece of shit, but thats just the tip of it. Although, i don't know the specifics of it--Time Warner and MSG are in some sort of pissing match, and it ultimately results in the Blacking-Out of a shitload of both Knicks, and Mets games. (Not that i really want to see the Mets play right now), but it will be a long-ass summer if this shit doesnt end soon. This site has been launched to 'provide a voice for New York sports fans' so play your part!

In continuation with my little UK hip-hop phase, I wanted to go check out this kid Sway Dasafo, but i missed out on this joint last night, but I did get my hands on the new mix cd, and im excited to chop through--and get some audio up. (plus i heard a banger Mark Ronson did for him--that audio WILL NOT be thrown up though) Word is, dude is gonna rock out the EVR show on Friday with Fader ot Catchdeisel--whoever does that show.

" The rhymes you spit can embarrass the city/while my game bags dames like Paris and Niki "

Shawn Kemp loves his weed and coke. Word is dude got bagged a couple of days ago, and guess the team didn't see the warning signs. If he isn't blown in this picture, I can't call it. Damn, anyone have the Ras Kass freestyle from Stretch and Bob, where he said somethign like "Everywhere I go, I move with a 40 on my chest like Shawn Kemp"--classic !

TAKE IT LIGHT..

Allhiphop's rumors section, drops a little blurb about Jay-Z/XM Radio beef stirring up, and the root of the problem seems to be this "Biter/Writer" track. I know this made its way around the scene already, but i came across it on my man Rondevu's joint. Shit is hot though--so cop it.

On the late tip, SOHH caught up with Mike Jones and shot down the quick Q&A. , plus they tried to pull the April's fools joke of the day, but they couldn't top this.
(BONUS AUDIO: Mike Jones and Kayslay chop it up with Saigon in the studio)

So, opening day really begins today with Pedro, (Eazy-E jherri curl and all) taking the mound facing off against ex-Met Paul Wilson. The game begins at 2:10 and can be seen on ESPN or listened to here.

Tonight is also the NCAA championship. Although I predicted a Louisville/UNC final, I'm still sticking with my guns that the 'heels, Sean May, and Roy Williams will be cutting the nets down tonight.

Michael Strahan put on blast. (NY POST)

Fantastic Four - My Love Wont Stop At Nothing (No Idea)
Kenny Rogers - Lady (True Story)

I was really trying to save all my interviews with up-and-coming producers for a specific week, where i would showcase one a day for the whole week. But i'm too tired, hungover, and just not into really scrambling around for news so enjooooy.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with one of the iller up-and coming producers in the game, Vin The Chin. Vin, along with Scram Jones make up the label/prodcution team, Beast Music Inc. With serious movements on the way, here's how it went down.

So Vin, tell us how long you been in the producing game for?
Been producing for about 10 years. Started landing joints about fours years ago.

You recently did the banger "Cuts From Nore", describe how that situation went down.
Nore asked me to make him a beat with scratches in it. I came to him with the joint and he loved it.

What kind of equiptment to you use to produce?
Top secret. Jus kiddin. I use alot of different shit. I got a mpc 2000, sp 1200, some sound modules wit a midi controller and alot of computer software.

Who are some of your influences as a producer?
Quincy Jones, Premier, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Neptunes, etc... I'm a fan of all their music.

You and Scram been working together for awhile now, tell us what some up and coming projects y'all got going on.
We have a few artist we are developing right now. We're still working wit Nature. I been working with Nature for a while. I did 7 joints on his last album "Wild Gremlinz". Tryn to get a deal for Beast Music Inc. My self produced mixtape and a new one from Scram, plus a best of all our tracks that have been released.

Who are some of the artists you would like to work with?
Jay Z, Nas, 50.

Who is the craziest artist you have ever worked with?
Well it depends on what u mean. I've worked with Black Rob once and he's a ill dude. Nore's another crazy dude.

Who are the top 3 new cats you see making moves in 05?
Saigon, Saigon, and Saigon. I did a joint for him awhile back called "Papi (35 a Gram)" which was real crazy, and i knew he would blow from then. Honestly, I dont think any of the new cats coming up fucking with him, plus I havent heard anything from any of these new cats that grabs me.

What is some advice you can give to the kid who is trying to get into the producing game?
Not just anyone can get into it. First off, you got to have a love for music. It aint about the money to the true music heads. I work a 9 to 5 and hustle this music shit, but to be honest, even if I dont make any paper off the music it aint gonna make or break me cause at the end of the day I love doing it.

With out-of-town rap dominating the airwaves everywhere, how do you feel about the state of NY hip hop?
I happen to like out-of-town rap. We in NY just need to make records that's better than their's. Thats exactly what they did, and I aint mad at them.

*-came very close to being the name of this blog

I had a chance to chop it up with Balance, the proclaimed-"Bay Area Mixtape King". Yes, you are right this is the second Bay Area emcee i've showcased this week. Personally though, I feel that the Bay area WILL be the next region to really pop off nationally (think Houston right now). After our conversation, I am convinced that, when the area pops--Balance will be in the front of the pack. His new street CD finally reached my mailbox, and its aiight man. Although the cd is a tad short on tracks (14), and it might not quench the thirst of long-time Balance heads, it features a grip of Bay area cats and is a great start out point for those who haven't heard of dude. (Quick Edit: go check out Triple Beam Tilt for a fun bag of Balance goodies)

El Dorado Red is one of the next dudes to make some noise out in the yay, and im co-signing! In my few brief meetings/discussions with El Dawg-I have continually been impressed with how humble of a dude he really is. With Rick Rock backing him on the boards, i don't see anyway this kid can fail. With a current buzz and radio play on the left coast, his first single "El Dawg" is for sure a banger. Fresh off his new mixtape, El Dawg took to Shade 45 radio this week and let the world know hes here. Check it out. (Biggus to the Demolition men too!)

In other femcee exclusives, Foxy drops the Just-Blazed laced/Jimi Hendrix sampled "Art Of War" (dusty audio copped off spinemagazine--i see the neptune audio link--thats a great look!)

Go check out Tricksta over at Rago Mag--dudes are showing much love!

Contruction has officially begun on the follow up to Be South..be very afraid..lots of Lil Keke, Gucci Mayne, Young Jeezy, Bun B, --who wants to collabo?!?!

Speaking of collabos..Young Caps of The Stencil and Nick Catchdubs, not to be confused with Catchcrabs- are joining creative forces to cook up something fresh soon.

And finally, speaking of mixtapes--this kid Mike Nitty is angry!! Listen to him call out all mixtape DJs NOT playing him..dope way to market yourself.

Y'all know what time it is...

Holla' at a playa when you see me on the street,trick! Ahhhh

Let's keep it ATL today. A couple of years back JimCrow had a buzz with "Holla At A Playa." The buzz was so strong that they went from unsigned/indie to Interscope. The song featured Sean Paul from TheYoungbloodz and the video was creative and featured a ton of ATL celebs. If you are unfamiliar with the group peep this old interview.Unfortunately the group couldn’t capitalize off the song’s momentum. Music giant Interscope couldn’t find a second single that worked, and with that said the album was put on hold permanently. It’s a shame too because from what the sampler had to offer the album was going to be FIYAH. With the album shelved and label problems the group disbanded. Cutty one of the group members can be heard doing the hook on the recent Trillville hit “Some Cut.” He has done some other classic hooks most notably “85” for the Youngbloodz. To this day I wish I could get my hands on that album. I have been unsuccessful even though I have come across people who have the said shelved work. I did manage to get this banger with T.I. called Do It All.If anybody out there has the whole thing you know whatto do…HOLLA AT A PLAYA!

People, people-so what i took a long weekend?! You didn't think i would make it up to you on Monday? Now, I haven't really been on my NCAA's this year, i did get to watch all the games this weekend, can the final four be better than them? I mean all these games went down to the last minute--i think there was 4 overtimes, UNC rocked the shit out of the Jordan X's (Zebras),
Lil O'Bannon got his thug thizzle on, and all i can say is that these games will completely overshadow the UNC/Louisville championship.

How about this kid Bansky who really did it up this weekend in nyc..Dude hit up 4 museums and smuggled his art INTO the museum--GULLY.

So, we have our final four set and the NBA playoffs areright around the damn corner. With basketball front and center on the sports map, I wanted to ask ever wonder what it would be like to be an NBA 12th man? I’m pretty sure you have had the rapper fantasy, the all-star ball player dream and even being a porn star. I doubt many have dreamed of being an NBA 12th man though. Imagine sitting there game upon game with little to no chance of even breaking a sweat. In our world of blog to me this has to be one of the hottest blogs around. The boy Paul Shirley, the Suns 12th man, breaks down the life of a bench warmer, a pine filler, a professional sitter have you. Paulie is always sarcastic, witty, and insightful. If homeboy gets cut he could at least write a sitcom on UPN or star in a reality show on the network, peep some of his highlights (blogging--not balling).

2005-03-23T10:39:00.000-08:00

Aight, I admit im all behind with almost everything, i'm still playing heinz with all the news thats "fit to blog". I'm just going to go at it as if i didn't see any of yall post shit--so back to fucking basics.

"The bitch is mad cause my jams kick like eastbay"

This beans album is gonna need to come with some kind of state prop tylenol or some shit, cause this is gonna have kids sick!

I definitely should've bought those eu footlocker joints when i was in london, mark my words by summer nyc will be full of them.

Liquor+Coke+Hookers=Rehab..

This story was too funny to overlook. Dude gets the 05 Marv Albert award.

Is this Fiona Apple, Extraordinary Machine, new? old? I feel so lost--really. I mean i know its old material, i've actually never heard any of it. For those who care here's the tracklist:

Cooked Crack pushed back.

Ok, so there is still response tracks going on? Is this even real because Jada did no justice here (1) (2) gimme a Styles 16 already!

With opening day around the corner, and at least one open-container ticket waiting for me in the Shea parking lot, im hyped for the Metropoliticians. Now that spring training is wrapping up i see promise. Im defintely not mad at the move they made for another lefty in the rotation, plus Philips was horrid at the end of the year...take the kurt rambis glasses and keep it moving. ESPN sees the light too.

Puffy to make the idol?

On the mixtape side of things-it seems to have slowed down post-piggy bank and responses i still have yet to chew through the whoo kid joints, but im really trying to check this joint--after i heard Tony Sunshine's thugtastic remake of the John Legend joint..terror error's the squad.

A nice healthy collection of tees at turntable lab..the no mas line will get work in the spring.

Aight--im off to go catch up on Deadwood--good to see the Wire got renewed for season 4.

"Ayyo, my man Herb diggy got something to say"

Hey! Hey! Lets all welcome home our man. I was supposed to helm the controls while the kid was away but he refused to give up the keys, I’m not bitter though. While he was shackled up with some buck-toothed UK chick I was beating up some ATL stallion. Aiight I admit that was a bit salty, I’m saying I’m just jelly I didn’t get to smoke high grade with yah.

Lets see what do I want to talk about? Can I do some R&B? I been feeling my man Raheem Devaughn for a while now (No Karamo). I mean he’s been putting it down for Chocolate City (that’s Washington DC for our talcum readers) for a while now. Recently The Source (please don’t ask why I was leafing through that) and Urb both plugged Raheem in their respective mags. Seeing how magazine hipsters/writers might be catching on to the movement its time you do too.

Aight, let me try and describe him without sucking him off? The kid definitely has a dope style--I would say he mantains a definite hip-hop sensibility, but that would be kinda cliché because i'm sure y'all immediately see Jahiem’s grill piece, so lets try again;He hasn't cornered himself into one style--has a universal appeal that caters to all brands of r&b enthusiasts. He has dope conscious joints, the cool upbeat/hip hop joints, the baby maker joints, and the “I can play this for my girl and she will love me and not its not even annoying like Usher and Destiny Child” joints. Fuckit, let the music speak for itself.

The Invitation....Your welcome.

Today wasnt a Good Day.

Just when You thought You had enough of slow jamz.

Even Chingy likes this Hurr.

If you like what you hear, get at Jive and tell them you want them to start pushing his album and make it a priority. By the way am I the only one that remembers that Jive was once the home of KRS-1, Spice-1, E-40, Tribe and other dope rappers. How times change huh? Got N’Sync? Anyway back to Raheem the Dream (again No Karamo) check out the music and the sites, support the kid. As a DC native I feel it’s my duty to big up local, minus go-go which I might do anyway.

ITS SPRING AGAIN!!

2005-03-22T01:56:00.000-08:00

THE BOY IS BACK!!! For any of those who haven't taken the trip across the pond--grab your passports, pack a bag--definitely dont forget your wallets, and get it crackin! Five nights in London, three in Amsterdam is for sure, the perfect time-frame for a Euro-getaway. For starters, while some caught M.I.A in Houston, she was indeed MIA at Fabric when i made my way through. Anyway, I got my tourist on..my museum on..and of course, my shop on..heres some quick link vomit..

This dude GF Watts has some serious symbolism going on..I also made the weeded trip to the Van Gogh in Hamsterdam.

The hot shit in London is for sure Carhartt--and on the sneaker tip--these footlocker exlcusy's were popular. I did to grab up my pair of these...adidas is really doing it big.

My new favorite grubspot is definitely Wagamama--Positive Eating+Positive Living!

Lotta shit missed though--and unfortunately, with the 'cuse loss, and UF out--im giving up on the NCAA's and focusing in on Anna Benson

Word is there is another Jada joint aimed at 50, Clue played it last night--and I did catch this Fat Joe heater too.

--just a little quick update, more to come--

GOAT

2005-03-09T09:57:00.000-08:00

IT WAS ALL A DREAM

When i sat down to do this here, I thought to myself, "What can i do different to commemorate BIG?". For some of y'all this might be the second, third, fourth biggie tribute-shit who knows how many blogs bigged up the man today--so rather than chew through another boring personal "where was I when i first heard Biggie", or better yet one of those "i remember seeing biggie once at crown chicken on flatbush ave in 95" whogivesafucks. I opted to go a different route.

So in Cuban Links fashion, i'm just putting it all out there whether its music, pics, clothes, or kicks (i'm sure they are coming soon) So here it is, to the GOAT

Biggie Live In Amsterdam

Fifty 24SF-Suekwon
NC Unified-Biggie
Red Clay-Get Money
Exact Sciene-Notorious
5 & A Dime-Poppa

Get the bitch, get the pussy, get the math im gone! What? It aint no more to it..

I'm gonna let my man bullets handle his own little situation on this thing he called think big..

I wanted to start with this track because its real symbolic. Biggie will forever be linked with Pac in most people’s head. Sadly all the rappers on this song are dead and more tragically through violent means. The original version of this song isn’t that dope. The remix however, has a dope beat and features Joe Hooker aka Harvey Pierre (SP) bka Diddy’s right hand man.

As gully and raw as Biggie was he was a master of the R&B 16. He basically gave the r&b blueprint to Jigga and had he been alive, I would venture to guess Best of Both Worlds would have featured the Real King of New York. I’m not saying Biggie was the originator but he sure did make it chic to lace r&b joints. This is one of my favorites. I was thinking about early Mary J Bilge remixes he appeared on but this song is so polished and his verse just compliments the track so well. In the day of the subliminal, if you listen close you should figure out whom the verse is directed to. I know you loving this fohr.

As smooth as Biggie sounded talking about chicks on r&b tracks he also had a mean pimp hand. I have heard about the original version of “Me and My Bitch” since RTD came out. I finally got my paws on this oft-fabled version. If you didn’t know this version was scrapped due to sample issues. This version is cool but I still prefer not the album version but yet the live version off The Show, with the Computer Love sample. That shit just has so much energy.

What makes an emcee great? The answer to that is subjective. Ask ten people and you might get ten different answers. If you ask me, I really couldn’t come up with a checklist but I would tell you Biggie embodies the definition of a great emcee. Besides the great body of work its other examples like this. I mean most of us suspect he wrote Kim’s shit and here’s proof. He writes the verses and demos the track for her to recite. I mean the ability to write for other artists is one thing but to personify a female through a track to me speaks of his talent.

Are we at number 1 already? This is my number 1 because I think this is the illest Big verse ever . Sorry for the suspect quality but I wanted to put up the original and not the remixed up dressed up bullshit Diddy put out. I remember hearing this off some tape and I sat there trying to memorize every line. The shits is just to raw. Rest In Peace Big. 1.

PS. Extra plout out to Goodfella for help on the audio.

With that said--i'm out for mini Eurotrip this Thurs--imma try to hold it down as much as possible-im grabbing up extra batteries for the digital cam and intend on using this as my bible. I'm sure my St. Patty's day excursion to Amsterdam will be wild--but i'm open for suggestions, as this is my first time over the pond since i was a young chap. If its about sneakers, gear, or music holler at my passport.

My man, i didn't know of any confusion, but its a solid look anyway.

Betcha You Cant do it Like Me (Me and Diddy)

I have heard about Diddy parties for a fucking while now, last night I finally got to party with the man. Was it crazy? Kinda. I mean the club was jam packed to the brim. If you hadn't seen your 3rd cousin for a while, you would probably ran into him/her last night. Highlights you say? Todd Shaw aka Too Short was right there walked right to the left of me. I just wanted to ask aint you to old to be clubbin Todd? I know he's a rapper but please, he must be 45 like the colt I drink. Moving on, Pastor Troy also bumped into me, he apologized(True Story) as he was on his way to escorting a young female to VIP. As for Diddy, he did his 1 2 dance thing and kept shouting out a Jody Breeze album that's soon to come. It wasn't as crazy as I anticipated. I was thinking--he would def buy the bar out and get me right but that never happened. As I write this I should be in court but what can I say, I'm hung over and don't have the energy to drive to College Park. Oh Well. What else you need? Some music?

D4L Betcha You Cant do it Like Me. This shit is bubbling in the ATL underground right now. Features that damn Troy boy doing backup ad-libs. This probably wont ever make your radar and if it does it will probably be 6 months from now.

Random rant cause I can do that (I think), girls that like girls is cute and all till her girl gets in your face for hollering at her girlfriend. I mean you might be Big Lezy but I can still knock you out, FALL THE FUCK BACK. Hold me back kid, I'm Done.

ILLESTRATIONS!

2005-02-28T11:43:00.000-08:00

If you’ve copped a mixtape within the last year or so, you’ve most likely picked up a piece of artwork by one of the most coveted artists to influence hip-hop today. So now take a minute, and go check your copy of any new Kayslay CD, any DJ L CD, or any of the hottest mixtapes out today and you can’t help but notice the MIAMI KAOS tag on the cover. He has created such a buzz, he refers to himself as “Your Favorite Artist’s Favorite Artist”. Check 15 questions with the man.

1. So, Miami how did you get started working as an artist?
I was drawing my whole life but never took it serious until I went to one of my childhood friend's graduation, he became a lawyer and I was telling him how proud I was of him and he told me if he could draw like me, he'd be straight and I thought then there might be something so I started doing little stuff for local cats and then I hooked up with Star & Buc Wild and he got me work at the Source the 1st time (I worked there twice) doing the illustrations for his Reality Check column. And it's just been on since.

2. You mentioned you worked for the Source,describe what that was like.
Wack. Not dissing Benzino though, I have mad love for dude cause he gave me a chance (and a great paychecktoo) but the way Dave Mays runs the shit is wack. Plus, I let them talk me into turing the cartoon strip "Past Imperfect" into some sci-fi thing (hip hop & science fiction is not a good fit) and the staff wouldn't work with me to keep the magazine in synch, I would try & put whoever was on the cover in that month's strip as well, but half the time they would'nt tell me til last minute. Plus I did that poster of Benzino & Eminem and XXL still holds a grudge against me for that shit. XXL actually sent a writer down here to write a piece on me and right b4 it went to print Elliott Wilson, was like naw that's Miami-Kaos form The Source, so they showed me no love.

3. Who are some of your artistic influences?
Comic books, Anime (japanese cartoons) , Grafitti, Tim O'Brien & Alex Ross (he influence me the most, he paints these superhero covers that are very realistic, and I decided I wanted to flip that in hip hop)

4. When did you make the transition into mixtapecovers?
I was doing a few here & there not taking it seriouslybecause I was rolling with Tigger and getting money doing other things (logos, personal portraits,billboards for power 105, etc.) but this is how God touches you: I was on vacation and Radio hit me to do a cover, I didn't have my computer or anything with me, but something said do it, so I did the cover artwent to kinko's, rented a booth to finish it. I originally charged $100 for the cover & it cost me like $67 to rent the computer, but after I did it ,like 2 days later Dj L called me about doing his covers then it was on & popping. God told me to do that cover, cause if I would've ignored it I don't know what I'd be doing today.

5. Describe for us, the process of making a mixtapecover.
Not to diss other cats, but the majority of designers just run to the newest XXL and use those pics of the rappers, me whether the cover is cartoon or regular I look at the title & try and come with a concept tha tfits that (images, background,etc.). I also look at the tracklist to see who's on it, then check to see who has the most heat at that time and that's who makes it on the cover.

6. Are all of your covers hand-drawn?
Naw I have almost as many regular photo covers as cartoon, I've done over 60 (and counting) covers for Dj L and they've all been photo covers.

7. How many covers do you do in a month?
Somewhere between 16-40 depends on some of the concepts, I'm slowing down now though to focus more on putting ou tbetter quality opposed to quantity.

8. What the hottest cover you've ever done? Kinda hard, but just recently I did a cover for Dj Reflection it was a 50 Cent/punisher theme (cartoon) and for the photo cover it is a cover called "Reservoir Dogs" for Kochece.

9. I know you did the cover for, Kayslay for"Victim: Who Wanna Be Like Mike"..talk to me a littlebit about how your relationship with Kay came about.
Well Kay rembered me when I met him when I was like 16years old doing grafitti. Me & 2 of my friends were in the Graf Hall of Fame one night and Kay & his TFA crew came in there. They were much older than us and one of my boys ran at 1st, when we didn't run Kay liked that we showed heart, but he smacked me boy for running on us. But fast forward to today, Radio is a Streetsweeper so Kay been seeing my work for a minute and he decided he wanted to upgrade the look of his covers & he reached out to me, it was an honor, Iwanted to do Kay Slay covers for a minute, but one of the things I pride myself on is I never asked a dj to do their covers.

10. What are some of the other projects that youhave coming up?
A t-shirt line called "Illestrations" with Mixunit and my hip hop cartoon strip "Hardcore" will be back on Big Tigger's site when it relaunches next month.It's always been on Tigger's site since 2003 but nowwe gonna do it big this time.

11. How can you be contacted?
Either 866-666-KAOS, mkaos@mixunit.com or mkaotrix@yahoo.com

12. Whats in your CD player/ipod/winamp right now?
Cam'ron-Purple Haze
Dj Unexpected & Kochece "Rhumble in the Jungle" Pt 4
1 Life Entertainment "Best of the Boros: Crooklyn" Pt 2

13. What websites do you check on a daily basis?
Mixunit & Rapmullet.

14. What artists/DJs are you checking for in the'05?
Papoose, he's gonna be big! Cause Disastar (off Bottomline Music Group) and DJ Wise Dj Unexpected(dude is a blend dj,his mixes & cd concepts are nextlevel).

15. I gotta ask it Piggy Banks, your thoughts? 50 has the biggest, smartest marketing machine in the game behind him and he knows controversy sells, the song was so-so I mean his earlier attacks on Ja were harder, all he's saying is he's richer than these cats but not lyrically better and he knows Interscope doesn't want Jadakiss going after their golden goose so in a way he protected from him, but 50 vs Fat Joe lyrically should be good, without all the hype they both on the same lyrical level. And it's funny how the song drops 2 weeks b4 his cd does, hmmmmmmmm.

DUNK RIOT!!

Rap for Relief Recap: Arrived late missed the earlier acts..got just in time to see a plus-size J-live trying to amp the half-assed crowd. I made my way through the back, to see who was in attendance..My first thought is "Why there a masseuse backstage at BB Kings?" My next thought was, "What could that conversation between C-Rayz Walz and Big Kap be like?
As i continue through the back corridor i begin to recognize the faces: I see Mr Cheeks, i see Mr Eon and Mighty Mi, i see Rahzel, and im instantly thinking this is some rap "surreal life" show. In the back holding stacks of records under one arm, and a plate full of food in the other, i see the legend, The Chocolate Boy Wonder. After a brief intro and lbs, i bumped into a dude i haven't seen in ages. So after I got my Pataki on (politicking) I heard Pete was making his way to the stage, so i jetted back to the side of the stage to peep his set. So Pete goes through 2-3 joints (CL Smooth-less), and then brings Mr Cheeks+entorouge on stage. Im thinking ok, there was Mr. Cheeks, there was Freaky Tah (RIP), but there was a 3rd dude in the LBs...what was his name?!! Imma leave it off, and see if anyone else remembers this one..cause i was stumped for a good half hour on it. So as the set came to a close Evil Dee popped up stage-side and shared with me some of the things he's got popping off: Wax42 show, Power 105 in NYC, Power 104 in CT, and the Sunday night jawn @ Joe's Pub. We traded info's and hopefully i can get Dee to throw down on an interview or something. I left shortly after Pete's set--and missed the bigger of the acts: Buckshot, Dougie Fresh, Rahzel. I think i came to the realization this crowd wasn't a fit for the acts promoting when no one knew the words to Pete Rock's music, but sung along to the Eminem the DJ was playing in between sets...Have i gotten that old?!

Extra special shout-outs to my man Bullets for this. Down in ATL, by means of DC the boy knows his music. We bout to be the 05 Crocker and Tubbs up in this here, ya heard?

Big Boss Of The South

On the R.A.G.U (Rae and Ghost united) tip-- today's entry is from ATL. I Peeped the Slim Thug and Mike Jones show last night, at Vision Nightclub downtown off Peachtree. I have always wanted to see Screw rappers perform live. Outcome-the show was just like any other show, mad niggas on stage and featured rappers holding bottles. Mike Jones had mad energy and killed his couple of songs. Swishahouse sidekick Paul Wall aka I got the internet going nuts pka I rock a smedium jacket that looks like I had it since 9th grade was cool. Slim Thugger showed no real personality and kept saying "G". The best part was probably "Hustlemania" with TI getting the place real live. Jody Breeze from BoyzNHood fame jumped in and did a song that really slowed the show down. The set was short and I still smell like weed as I type this the next morning. Anyway I will be here to add that southern flava whenever young pimpin allows it. Heres a lil mp3 treat from Mike Jones over Jada's Why beat. Who? Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones.

B.Coming Advance Has Hit The Net !!!

I be the raw in your bitches nose..

Maan, i had to do it..i threw up 2 of the hotter joints from B.Coming--the first joint is "Purple Rain" ft Bun B. I first heard this song off of this the Bun B hookup is refreshingly hot..although its tough to not listen to this and hear pretty tony all over it. The second track is the Aqua-laced, "Can't Go On This Way" ft Free and Young Chris. Beans starts the track off, "Honor, Trust, Respect, Devotion, Friendship, Loyalty, Karma, Team, US, Roc (SOLID)" Oh, the irony.

Other joints to check for, "One Shot Deal" ft. Redman, "Look At Me Now" ft Rell (with Buckwild on the boards)...where the hell is "Bread and Butter" ftGrand Puba & Sadat X(produced by Just Blaze) i need that in my life!

NYC was mizzy last night--first off, the Big L tribute show at SOB's--we all got shut down !! Next i was off to Copa for a benefit Mark Ronson was doing-free beer, free food, but definitely shirt and tie--the polo rugby wasn't doing it. After that NA was the move, but Ben Jelen ?? Thanks but no thanks..Waste of fucking time--not to mention the hour it took to park my car in BK.

( Random Highlight of the night: Doorman: "Big L's attorney said only Black Rob+2")
