You Maaad Doggie, Da Roundup
The blogs are full of hater-fodder this week. You're gonna love it.
Leading off is the full version (albeit clean) of Lil Wayne's newest Carter III track, "A Millie." This shit is absolutely fire. Fools who have been hating on his subpar guest spots need to keep in mind that Weezy has just been playing around--The Carter III isn't a joke. Get ready. Other new tracks floating around are "Done It" and "I". Apparently there's also a new mix, The Drought is Over 5, but I ain't located it yet. Hook me up.
... and speaking of dope new tracks, get a load of Big Boi, Andre 3000 and Raekwon on "Royal Flush". This track is obviously the cure for your work week. Blaze one and take a trip back to the mid-90s with me--I'm loving this shit.
One of my favorite Stones Throw artists, Guilty Simpson, has a a new video, "Get Riches" making its way around the better educated blogs out there. Guilty is the man, I been loving him for years and the forthcoming disc, Ode to the Ghetto isn't to be missed.
Your Favorite Blog is reporting on what they call a "Soulja Boy assassination attempt." Man, get the fuck outta here! The kid (a 12-year-old) threw a rock at Soulja Boy's bus, it's not like this was some premeditated coup.
Game made the cover of Mass Appeal and it's dope. He's starting up the hype machine for this summer's L.A.X. (which may go head-to-head with Carter III). Check out "Big Dreams" to see what's going on in the studio with the West Coast's most blooded. (And the remix with Ya Boy.)
Bun B is also on his grind for II Trill, showing up in a FADER TV interview and on the cover of XLR8R. It's aieet, but can't compare to the time Fader chopped it up with Rick Ross.
If you didn't already know, Fat Joe lost. Other big losers of the week: DMX inks a movie deal and Suge Knight is doing the reality TV tip. Can't make it up.
It's still hyphy in the bay, as Lil Jon and E-40 prove on the new "Turf Drop." Plenty of yelling, thizzing and shaking-dreadlocks to go around.
Saigon comes out of hiding for an interview, but to be honest I don't really give a fuck--I want the album. He blew the buzz that his Clinton Sparks mixtape generated--is there any way his album will live up to the hype? Other unsung stars interviewed: Wiz Khalifa at DJ Booth.
Finally, RIP Eazy-E. It's been a while, but depending on which blog you ask, Eric's been dead for 13 years, or wait--was that 11 years? It's true, there are few fact-checkers employed in the raposphere.
Moral of the story? Ode to the Ghetto, Carter III, L.A.X. and II Trill are on the way. Summer's looking beautiful, and this week's round of hip-hop singles are banging. Let's hope things are on an upswing, because the latter half of 2008 was garbage, son.
So that's that. It's Friday, and hopefully wherever you're at the skies are clear and Spring has come. I'll sign off by leaving you with this thought: Whatever's Good is the most text-heavy hip-hop blog on the Internet. Bet that.
ahhh you caught me on the 11year shit haha. i was tired and fucked up :(
good looking with all the linkage and whatnot. appreciate it!
Heh, it happens to the best of us. At least you can spell correctly, which is better than I can say for myself.
