Deep

This is the perfect look for this album. Fuck all the hype of how long it took. Fuck you. Who the fuck are you to pressure somebody? I don't know how the cd is gonna be. What I do know is that's some of Marshall's best writing right thre. I wasn't fuckin with his last few cds like that, and fuck Love the Way you Lie, this right here is some gut wrenching shit. Honest. Brash. Bold. A few words that come time mind the way he put Dre in check on that 2nd verse. Dre's courage to put that out, and open up his life for this album is to be commended. It's hard when we want to judge an artist by a song or album. 'This song ain't shit, that album ain't sellin', we say. Not realizing that you have to step back and look at a career to be able to asses what a human who happens to make beats and rap, has really gone thru and brought to the table. One question, where's video of D.O.C.? It didn't jar them reliving what really happened to the Texas legend to at least put in a clip of Funky Enough? Is he a part of the fake friends brigade that Dre mentions? Thumbs up on this one

Fitting Tribute

Big Pun was, and is the greatest rapper of all time. Period. Nobody rapping could put it together like him and make as much sense; rhyming, even the outlandish stuff, from a deeply personal perspective. He did in one album what most cats can't do in a
career. I'm not sure who this G-Fella is, hip hop has had many white boys from uptown Kasino, Genovese but this dude has a nice co-sign and he treated the game with respect. One day maybe they'll open the books, and see his name. Baby Pun...we gotta get you a better handle, be your own man, it's cool showin pops love but be your own man. Lyrically, you're on the right route, keep it up.

I wasn't fucking with that Radio record, but this shit is fire!!! Good to see my man Cutty, back on the job! Somebody get this dude a part, he needs movies dude can act for real. It's a Wire wold, we just live in it...

respect due...o.g.'s puttin in work

I've liked Naughty, they've had their moments, and they have brought a lot into the game. I'm sure Trech would be the first to say at times they've been knuckleheads, and that's why I couldn't always fuck with them. This song is a good look though. It's good to see some elder cats in hip hop not trying to put out that bullshit and keeping it 100 with the younger crowd. Nice to see Jaheim come thru with Kay Gee who helped bring him in the game too. Ice T, you on t.v. everyweek, you couldnt deliver thoughs lines better? Marc John Jefferies... you've come a long way since those Losing Isaiah and those annoying ass computer commercials; to Lil 50 in Get Rich... and Lil Cease in Notorious. Jobe well done. Keep working b.

Wow

Marsha. It's a statement. First thoughts...ahhhh shit A. Keys watch ya back. The thought train picks up speed...ok she doing her thing, they (her as a part of Floetry) should have done a whole album for Michael, they would have done him justice... that dude looks like Hits...she looks good, got a sizable jaw law, but good...that dude looks like Boris Kodjoe... ... ... w..t..f...yeah thats how it goes down...suicide, it figures. the first time you get something right in your life and it's your last. Most people once having faced death wonder what it is to control their own existence. To decide when we get off the train of life. There is so much more to llive for. I'm sorry that her friend felt pushed into making that decision, but I hold no special soft spot for that. Then I had to watch it again. How they played it up so simply that she was 'with' her friend. How in love it's the simple things that make relationships so special, and we're all allowed to feel that in life. I get it. The assumptions of what we think we know, and how it affects others. Fear, hate, it's all in there. That was a job well done.

White Chocolate

Square Biz, the big homie Rick James gave her the cosign, her skills did the rest. Open since a shorty, she kept some smooth soul on ice for you punk bishes.


She was also about protecting Rick's legacy, and she was signed to Cash Money at a time. This is for Teena M. Baby! R.I.P.



hold it down til I get there, want to hear the next duet.
side bar, why all these great musicians die around this bogus ass holiday Christmas? don't get me started.

Trice time's the charm

Nah the nigga don't need a deal, don't get it fucked up homey. He need a joint venture, put out his best most even work to date and put his people on, get some residuals. Trice hit me in the head a few times, but it was like findin niggas in Alaska. You see 'em, oh we there, ...but you get the picture. Not up there with Cry Now which has the title for me, and not at the bottom. Solid man, do your thing.

gal a shine

for some reason out of the new crop of female mc's I want this chick to win. My man is biggin that Nitty Scott MC broad hard, and she aliiiiiight. This right here is straight. I see her team still testin the waters with different shit, don't be afraid it's cool nuh.

Cry Now

Why so long for a Joel Ortiz post? I don't know I'm jus fuckin crazy like that. I thought y'all already knew? J.O. from B.K. with that Battle Cry. Keep paying dues ock, it's comin.

He who laughs last

This lil dude gettin it in right now. Crazy. Got them Michael-esque tones. He's really puttin some shit together now. It appears Gottii was holdin him back. The fact that he did joints with Lloyd Banks, and now 50 is funny right there. Is it a case of Nas theory 'now you wanna hang with niggas I hung with' , subliminal jab by 50or is LLoyd just going where the action is? I used to hear this cat talk in interviews and think he was funny. he seemed a bit arrogant and talky. Yeah he had been on some records, and I did like that 8Ball and MJG joint ()but he was unproven talent to me. Well Lloyd, welcome to a new day. Either way, this is a nice record.

Puuuullllll Uppppp!!!

Subliminals let off? Maybe. Baddest chick in hip hop with that reggae style? Check! If you from NY, you get used to hearin a lot of accents, and we like to try them on. If you have roots in certain places, even though you may not carry a steady accent you're around enough family and friends to get to a place wher you can rock one with the right attitude. I give Kim her props, she puts on a good effort. I liked a few of he times she's gone there. Foxxy and Nicki both have Trini roots so it's real natural. The Minaj version fell into a pile of cameos that got kinda lost for me. Now to the woman of the post. You kind of forget sometimes about Brown; oh, but what can brown do for you. She's put in time with Sizzla, and Spraga in classic island records, and kills it again on this version of the Gyptian blazer.

Doin my Part

Yep, He killed it.

Been a Redman fan from day 1. Haven't posted in a while, but shiz' about to change muh funka...

R.I.P. Guru

Keith Elam (July 17, 1966 – April 19, 2010[1]), better known by his stage name Guru, was an American rapper and member of the hip-hop duo Gang Starr. Born in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury. His accomplishments are too many to run down. Just enjoy some music. Oh and Preme, you gonna have to say fuck the bull shit and come clean on what happened with y'all.

one of those moods

"Y'all ain't nothin...without David Ruffin"

R.I.P. Pun the G.O.A.T.

Been off the scene for a few weeks. Rest In Peace to my favorite mc of all time! Yeah B.I. was ill, and Pac is that dude, but Pun took what they did and moved it to a higher level. Period.

still in the air.

I don't care for cats when they try to be lyrical. Try to come abstract so that they can seem arty. These Clipse cats have dropped a few pieces I've liked. Not crazy about them, the same complaint most heads have that the coke raps get boring. This Freedom joint got some lines though.

Gone but not forgotten

In the midst of prayers for Haiti, I hear about my man's passing. One of the most soulful voices of all time. Smooth, potent, unique. Rest In Peace to the one Teddy P. Thanks to Soulfulbohemian@youtube for the post.

David, David, David. He got you on the phone cryin maaannn! But this beat is a smash, and I hsven't heard you ride this sick since Walk With Me off Beg For Mercy, and the weed ish you did back then too. So, NY is messing with you. Keep bangin them out like this we might see you at the end of the year. Success is the best revenge, get yourself a good lawyer.
