Ja Rule makes me ashamed to be from Hollis.
"Hey, spindashing, where are you from?"
"I'm from Hollis, Queens. If you don't know that city, it's near J--"
"No, I know that spot. Ja Rule is from there, right!? MURDAA"
"..." *rolls eyes.* "Well, yeah, but ... a much better name, Run-D.M.C. is from there."
"That's hot!"

To counter Ja's shitty music, I was just listening to Soulcrate's Believe It:

I like it.

That Katy B chick is alright, I just have a hard time listening to british accents sing and especially rap. It grates on me. Lilly Allen and Dizzee Rascal are the only two I really like.
Ja Rule had a place in hip hop as a pop rapper that made radio hits that on occasion were fun to listen to. I would never consider him a serious rapper outside of his very good debut album but it's still a shame he couldn't just ignore the 50 beef and continue making pop music.

finally got around to giving atmosphere's new album and xv's zero heroes a few more spins, atmosphere is growing on me but still not near when life gives you lemons or to all my friends
xv's is probably his 3rd best thing he's done, while there arent any single worthy songs like everybody's nobody its still a great "mixtape" from start to finish. I think he is adjusting to the pressure from being signed with a major and getting back to what he's comfortable with beat selection and lyrically, pretty much the opposite of vizzy zone which feels very forced
also i know its not GAF hop's style, but the new Brotha Lynch is fucking surprisingly amazing, the only album from him since EBK4 that I've given more then 1 listen

Cam vid of some of the Ye/GOOD SXSW concert. LOL @ when someone fucks up Power backstage and Kanye storms off to go choke a bitch. AOTL looking godlike as usual.
That Watch The Throne and Yeezy 2s are coming...

Night Shift was the better of the two.. I am a huge 40 water fan and felt a little let down by Day Time and Night Shift, I thought a single album between the two would have been hawt.. but then he releases the overtime shifts and spits hotness for two complete albums..

no doubt.. but I felt that he could have taken the best songs from both Dayshift and Nightshift and made a super dope album..
And I am also saying that both overtime albums are true start to finish (almost) bangers that deserved to be two ablums unlike the first effort imo..
Again being as big of a 40 water fan as I am I still loved the nightshift and dayshift albums but thought it hurt him a bit releasing like that.. at the worst he should have released an old school double disk album like Pac

I agree completely and believe I have said so in the past. There were some magnificent songs on day/night but also some really really dull or generic songs as well. A single album would have imo been one of his very best albums ever.
Definitely enjoying graveyard/overtime far more. Far fewer boring songs. I am not really a big fan of the droop-e sound. I like 40's charisma and style which still holds me, but I prefer when his production feels more like that old 90's e-40.
Blackace said:
Loving it, really stepped up his production, which is amazing considering how great it has always been. Still not fond of time stands but babylon is growing on me a tiny bit, still tend to skip it though. Safe and Sound is still my favorite of his albums, but this is his best album imo since rhythm-al-ism. I like that the production feels like classic Quik, but he seems to have found new instruments and sounds to work with. And polished to hell and back my god. Producers should spend an hour in the studio with quik to learn how to spitshine a beat into perfection.

ooooh lovely. i'm probably going to wait for the actual thing though...they're one of the few artists that i can feel confident in with purchasing their music blindly without hearing anything.
has anyone heard the new Fabolous mixtape? The Soul Tape?
Anyone know when/if Curren$y's Covert Coup is gonna be released for real? All I've been able to find are shitty 192k CBR transcodes; I can't run that shit on a good system. Is it ever going to even be released on plastic? I want it in lossless.
That said, I think it's my favorite Curren$y album so far. There's not one song I don't like on it, and that Freddie Gibbs verse is fire.

Warren G's tribute song to Nate Dogg is crazy good, it's coming out tomorow with all proceeds going directly to Nate Dogg's mother and the Nate Dogg Foundation. I think he called out Dre for saying Nate can't sing, fucked up that they're brothers I guess Dre didn't get him on Detox. Warren G f. LaToya Williams "This Is Dedicated To You"
Em and Royce are finally going to do the Bad meets Evil EP with Havoc apparently producing on it. Hopefully Em brings the Slim Shady/ first three album shit back and doesn't just scream down the mic.
