lol "oh he** naw!!"

this is hilarious

common, q tip, 88 keys, dj scratch

what a night, i had so much fun.. i learned a lesson though, i can't be so shy/nervous anymore. I got a call from producer 88 keys earlier in the day inviting me to this show in my state, (common, q tip tour) i should have taken a picture of the line outside. I get to the show late, when i was invited to hang on the bus before but my nerves we're too bad, and i missed 88 keys whole opening set but when i finally got there i was taken to the back (i know i don't have any photo's of him, i was too into the show) Q Tip was outside in the back after he had performed (if i would have taken photo's of them while we we're hanging i would have felt odd.. but i promise ill have more courage next time. lol) and 9th wonder came to the back to say whats up to q tip and the crew (9th only lives 45 mins from where we were) then common was about to perform so we stepped back in the building and i was to the side of the stage with the radio dj's and musicians etc. The show was killin. Common did like 15 different songs and a freestyle, the band was great and the vibe was good..i'll never forget it, big thank you to 88

the band was killin, the piano player was also Bilal's piano man






and my favorite clip

Dumb It Down

told ya a video was comin :)



And I'm brainless
Which means I'm headless
Like Ichabod Crane is
Or foreplay-less sex is
Which makes me stainless
With no neck left to hang the chain with
Which makes me necklace-less
Like a necklace theft

"won't you talk about your cars ni**a?
(dumb it down)
make it rain for the chicks..
(dumb it down)
pour champagne on a b****!
(dumb it down)
wtf is wrong with you?
..how can i get on a song with you :D.."

as a g they told me i should come down cousin
but i flatly refused, i ain't dumb down nothin"


you might not like his flow, you might not like all of his instrumental choices, you probably don't like all of his videos, lol but lupe's wordplay is phenomenal, i wonder if he still wants to retire after his 3rd album. I have mixed feelings about that

day n nite

sorry for no/slow post, away for the weekend visiting friends :o)

i meant to post this 9th Wonder interview from my friends at TSS..
http://smokingsection.rawkus.com/TSS/?p=1947

TSS: If you could remix any rap album from front to back…

9th Wonder: Hip Hop Is Dead.

TSS: Why that album?

9th Wonder: Why not? (Laughs) I would definitely do Hip Hop Is Dead. But I would not touch the Kanye joint. There are two joints I wouldn’t touch. I would not touch the Kanye joint and I would not touch “Black Republican.” The rest of ‘em I’ll touch.

also a big hey to GFC in new york, been receiving alot of love and adds from you guys, if you see any other them on myspace you'll notice they're representing rap representative mickey factz

did i mention i have an interview with Rik :D! Still editing it will post soon though!



Blue Magic

kudos to http://www.myspace.com/beatss
for sending this in, even though i posted late


Rik was telling me about getting ready to go film for this, and how spur of the moment it was. Rik just finished shooting a video for Bleek and Jay approved the outcome, so Jay decided to work with Rik as well, i'm very excited for his progression

"Three/21, Best of Both Offices, Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam present the world premiere of the “Blue Magic” Trailer for Jay-Z’s new single off the upcoming “American Gangster” album. The concept of moving music like drugs may seem obvious but the execution of it by everyone involved is what took it to another level." for more http://three21media.com/

“‘Poor me, Dad was gone, finally got my Dad back, liver bad, he wouldn’t live long, it snatched my Dad back.’ ”
Please don’t compare me to other rappers. Compare me to trappers.

I’m more Frank Lucas than Ludacris. And Lude is my dude, I ain’t trying to dis.

Just like Frank Lucas is cool, but I ain’t tryin’ to snitch.

I’m-a follow the rules, no matter how much time I’m-a get.

I’m-a live and die with the decisions that I’m-a pick."

i'm not finished with this post, be back tonight

Welcome to the good life

"8 weeks after it’s official single release, Stronger has finally taken the #1 spot, overtaking Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”.

This give’s Kanye his third #1 single in the U.S. (the first two being Slow Jamz and Gold Digger) and means Stronger has been the #1 song in 4 countries!

In related news, the third single from Graduation, “Good Life”, debuted at #14 on the Hot 100 this week."



Sept.19th:
"The official sales numbers are in, and Graduation has sold 955,000

Not only does this mean that Kanye takes the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, it also means that Graduation has sold more in it’s first week than any Def Jam album ever, and more than any album since “Late Registration” in 2005!

Graduation has also sold the most downloads ever, with over 100,000 of the first-week sales being from downloads alone, and in the UK the album hit #1 on the official album chart, selling around 80,000 copies overall."

harder, better, faster, stronger

Nike Boots

Wale

flyer than the rest of them..
this ain't a shoe song this is a crew song

Wale released the track he was hyping up on myspace "Nike Boots" 2 days ago. He did a good job at hyping it up. Good idea. Idk if you guys caught him on the VMA's for a moment before commercial too

American Gangster

okay i can say it now..lol

"Blue Magic"
-Jay Z tomorrow (friday) new track being released

XXL: elliott wilson
"Ok, tomorrow morning, you’re gonna wake up and you’re gonna read an article in the New York Times about Jay-Z. Yup, comeback numero dos is true. It ain’t called Boss Hova. It’s called American Gangster. Inspired somewhat by the movie of the same name, but it’s a full studio album, no soundtrack. Release date: Tuesday Nov 6. But it might get bumped up to the same friday as the flick. Black Friday..

Update: The song is called “Blue Magic.” When you see the flick like I did this afternoon, it will all make sense.

Update 2: The streets are saying said song sounds 80’s-like and Rakim-ish. We shall see."



alot of 4th quaters coming right?.. nas and jay before the end of 07? hmm.. makes you wonder, and with little promotion? I'm not mad though :oP

idk if you we're with me then, i posted this trailer awhile back

denzel denzel.. too good at what he does

"incase y'all forgot new york is still mine"

herfection:
crap. i had a big juicy paragraph of some great inside news.. but i can't expose it. So i'll try to make this fun and informing at the same time. Look out for something special coming this friday from Big Homie.. rumors are spreading as well that he's releasing an album in conjunction with a certain hollywood movie with two major players.. check on that later on, but for now, come friday... :D shout out to Rik Cordero who is directing a promo for this special project..
Rik and myself just finished our interview, it's in the process of being edited

GQ 50th anniversary party

allhiphop:
"I think the frenzy is getting to a fever pitch! Rumor has is Jay-Z will be calling his next album Boss Hova. Now, from what I have been told that’s the name of the album for now, but he’s also considering several other names too. That’s the name of the month. Anyway, I’m not sure when Jay-Z plans to release it, but I am hearing some interesting things. I heard that Jay intends to adopt a more retro feel that will remind fans of the Golden Era of Roc-A-Fella. I heard that he’s got a song with Beanie Sigel and Bleek that is already finished. I don’t know how far he’s in, but fans can expect production from lil’ bro Kanye, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder, and DJ Toomp. We know Jay didn’t leave, but I heard he’s coming back."
