BANNED FROM TV

AY WHATUP!

Here's the video for a real classic song, "Banned From TV" by Noreaga, Big Pun, Nature, Jadakiss, Styles P, and Cam'ron. This is when they were all new MCs to the game on their respective rises to the top of hip hop. This is one of the biggest, hardest bangers of the 90's, slamming track. Here it is...

Wu Massacre Cover Art

Just after giving you guys the video preview for Ghost, Meth, and Rae's new album Wu Massacre, I saw the cover art for the release. The album will have one standard cover, in addition to 3 limited edition covers, one for each artist on the album. I like the Raekwon one myslef. Here are the album covers below...

Wu Massacre is gonna be sick.

In case you haven't heard, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and Method Man of the legendary hip hop giants Wu Tang Clan are releasing an album titled Wu Massacre, set to FINALLY drop on March 30th after a slew of failed release date attempts. This shit is bound to be a CLASSIC. These 3 are probably my favorite Wu members, so I'm shitting myself waiting for this thing. They put out a few trailers for the album following up to the release, here they are...

Cory Gunz Freestyle on DJ Green Lantern's Show

AY WHATUP!

Here's a banging freestyle by the mighty man Cory Gunz. Cory is the son of rapper Peter Gunz, who you might remember from the '90s ("UPTOWN BABY!"). DJ Green Lantern even tells Cory to repeat a verse, man got bars. Enjoy!

Showing My Appreciation: E 1999 Eternal by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Ay Whatup!



There is nobody quite like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. They have been one of my favorite hip hop acts since I heard "Crossroads" as a little ass boy in 1997. Bone Thugs, consisting of Bizzy Bone, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone, have a completely unique style, mixing rapid-fire hardcore rap with very light R&B and smooth groovy production. Bone's E 1999 Eternal is a truly CLASSIC album which cannot be overlooked by any person who says they appreciate quality hip hop. There are some essential tracks on the album, including "Crossroads," "1st Of Tha Month," "Mr. Bill Collecter," and "Bud Smokers Only." But don't go skipping around the album, every track is worth a good listen, even though you might have to repeat each song a few times just to know what they're saying. They're some quick ones.

I'm going to see Bone Thugs-N-Harmony live at Irving Plaza in NYC on April 6th. You can get tickets HERE

It's been too long...

AY WHATUP!

Is it just me or has the South been WAY too powerful for WAY too long? It seems like just yesterday that Bad Boy Records held New York's top spot high and proud, and quality hip hop reigned supreme. Now? There's a bunch of untalented bullshit MC's (if you can call them that) who don't rap about a damn thing. It's ridiculous. So sad how the mighty have fallen with the one quick blow of BIG's death. Well, East Coast heads, there may be some very good news. Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy, or whatever the fuck he like's to call himself this week, resigned the OG Bad Boy heavyweights The LOX for their next album. Over the last few years, The LOX have been feuding with Puff (that's what I'm calling him) over licensing ownership of the LOX's first 2 albums, so reuniting is a big step forward. There is also buzz spreading about Puff possibly signing Raekwon for his next album, which would be bananas. As much of a clown as he is, I wish Puff Daddy the absolute most of luck in taking East Coast hip hop back up to the top.

BET Cypher 2009

AY WHATUP!

This is the 2009 Rap Cypher for the BET Awards. I'm not playin' games when I say that these are true rap heavyweights, and they all GO THE FUCK IN. Juelz is a fucking monster in this. If you're major into hip hop you've probably seen this already. If not, enjoy and get an extra diaper ready.



Stay Up Dunny!
