March Madness indeed, it's roundup time
The sun is shining and my bracket is still looking good. The nice thing about living in the west is that you can wake up late without missing any hoops action--unfortunately, without a television, I was stuck at a neighborhood sports bar. So much for simple living.
Hip-hop related madness going on this week: 50 Cent attends Fat Joe's "funeral." I caught this little flick last night on the tail end of a bender, but Curtis was clearly more loopy than I: the tears--and intro--are just so over the top, I can hardly believe he did it. I fucking love it. Plus, 50's commentary on Elephant in the Room is pretty much entirely on point. Joe lost, and will keep losing. His best bet is to shut up and and be a G-Unit punching bag until Curtis & Co. get bored.
Dizze Rascal dropped a video for "Where Da G's," featuring Bun B. Too bad it's about 10 months too late. Maths + English been out now for a good while, I'm wishing the UK kid could have hit us with the video back when he dropped the record. Wonder if this has anything to do with the forthcoming II Trill? (Answer: yes, obviously. Bun B also did the AOL 16 bars bit a few days ago.)
Lil Wayne is everywhere online this month. Gearing up for The Carter III, no advances! There's a Tim Westwood freestyle and interview, a bit of UK heckling, and snippets of another new Carter III track, "A Millie." There's also this Semtex TV interview (also here and here and here). Judging by all this, I'd say that he's finally going to get a studio album out. I can't wait.
Del is also out and about, freestyling and generally staying active in support of The Eleventh Hour--his first album in about seven years or so.
If dough is what you got, a broke Scott Storch is selling his yacht. It's probably a dud of a boat anyway.
Panda Toes has a glowing review of David Banner at SXSW. I was lucky enough to see dude tear it up once a few years back, and I can attest: he's phenomenal on stage, and if you have a chance, check him out. His studio work has dropped off lately, but he's a natural performer. As Panda Toes gushes, he put on the "most mind-numbingly awesome set in the history of music." That's saying a lot.
The Tanya Morgan is a Rap Group mixtape has dropped. I have yet to bump it, so lemme know what's good.
And with that, it's back to the madness. Go K-State. Midwest represent.
That wayne was somewhat interesting.
That a millie track wasnt a instant winner for me.
And finally, that freestyle made me rethink and hope Carter Tre (if it ever comes out) can rekindle my love for weezy.
