beats for the moment:

word up cobra! its prime time!
erick sermon - hittin switches
this beat is set in the middle of my running playlist to catch the second wind.
aaaand
redman - hardcore (originally off epmd business never personal)
damn this got me hype for the album.
and it did not disappoint.
so....whos looking forward to the next kanye, lil wayne or waka flocka album?
full albums are LAME now, look at em's last joint.

and right now,

i dont give 2 shits about new artists like:

waka flocka

wale

lil wayne

wiz khalifa

lupe fiasco

drake

soulja boy

im not grouping these artists for their skills.

i grouped them by (note: these artist obtain 1 or more of these qualities):

guest star gangbang on album,

internet hype but actually wack as fuck,

hyped by new hip hop community but does not stand up to golden era standards,

album has a couple gems, but overall, its WACK.

its more about coming up with a full album,

GOOD production,

and less than 2 guest stars on ya album.

hows about no gangbangs on anymore albums!!

(go look at the track listing for drake's last album wtf)

let the artist live!

listening to:

its getting harder to cut down on what i want to throw in there.

n.w.a. - elif4zaggin LP

the roots - how i got over LP (shit is HOT!)

few know about where that sample
'block rockin beats' comes from.
word to philly,
schooly d featuring t la rock on the intro - "gucci again"
the original gucci time was so ridiculously dope.

theres few rap songs i can rhyme start to finish.
but i can say, audio two, top billin' is up there.
i have never seen a crowd this hype.
milk dee could have left the stage and they would still rhymed the whole song.

hmmm... i will have to post my all time party/club favorites
(that i can rhyme to)

updeezy!

havent been around for a while...
i was concentrating on my final training to the half marathon.

ran a 10k! (53min!)
ran my first half marathon! (2h 01min!)
now its time to train hard to the full.

after running the half,
i realized i have to:
1. train harder.
2. diet harder.
3. try to adapt to this new lifestyle.

chef and triple six!

recently added raekwon the chef and three six mafia.
ive been listening to only built for cuban linx 1 + 2
and funny three six mafia tracks.
i said 'beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiitttttch!'
STRAIGHT COMEDY.
three six mafia, ganksta nip, too short
has always fallen into the 'guilty pleasures' category
in my hip hop catalog.
so much shit talk and ho throwdowns....lol
cant get enough of that stuff.
the main reason i love hip hop over any
other music genre is it can attack ANY subject,
and get to the point.
whether its 'move bitch get out the way!' (ludacris)
or 'the ghetto' (eric b + rakim)
'whats up fat lip' (fat lip)...
man i love this.



on some other ish:
de la soul - keepin the faith
(i never heard this mix, but i like it!)
de la soul feat. redman - oooh
