Huh? Only about THREE of all of the songs mentioned weren't part of either a major/indie label compilation or a formal major/indie label release. Of all of these songs mentioned ONLY Wu Tang Clan's "Sunshowers" (the A side of "Deadly Darts" a Japan only vinyl release), "Silent" was on one of J...

How did Lupe do? Here are the unofficial sales numbers for the week! -- 8 LUPE FIASCO ATLANTIC/ATL G 85,959 -- LUPE FIASCO'S FOOD & LIQUOR This is considered a flop if you factor in his year long buzz, his Fahrenheit 1:15 mixtape series and the excellent Lupe The Jedi and Touch The Sky...

New Nas and Pete Rock joints! The new Hi Tek album "HiTeknology 2" is forthcoming. A song featuring Nas called "Music 4 Life" as well as a new Pete Rock joint featuring 1/2 of D Block, Styles P and Sheek Louch called "914" (the collective area code of Mount Vernon and Yonkers, NY). Both are...

Jeezy Young Jeezy often claims he's not a rapper and disses emcees for being lyrical often on his mixtapes. Most of his fans love him for reppin' trappers (drug dealers) moreso than for his prowess on the mic. One.

Oh man Everyone is entitled to their opinion...no matter how wrong it is. LOL. One.

I guess I need to find out who they are I guess I should next find out who the hell the Arctic Monkeys are, huh? LOL. I didn't even know there were five members of Girls Aloud until last night....Americans are so isolated from the rest of the world...the last British pop star they remember was...

I just heard her mixtapes Hold on...did she put these out HERSELF and just make a couple of mixes with her material thrown in and made it available as a promotion through MySpace? That is so obvious and simple that it's DAMN NEAR genius...she did covers and some original songs and mixed genres...

It's purely aesthetic...not content. I don't think it's an issue of lyrical content...just the aesthetic. I am a fan of Kool G. Rap, Ice T, Ice Cube, Schooly D, M.O.P., Scarface, The Beatnuts, Akinyele, etc. and they say some of the most ignorant, thugged out, misogynistic shit ever. One of my...

Interesting, Logan... I've heard her called that before. She does admittedly make good pop records...I prefer Mike Skinner when The Mitchell Brothers or Kano are around, though...he has a 60/40 like it/hate it thing going with me...If he makes 20 songs, I'll like/be able to tolerate 12 of...

Way back! I was a huge David Banner fan starting from his days in a dope ass group called "Crooked Lettaz" with a dude named Kamikaze. They were signed to New York indie label Penalty Records and subsidiary of Tommy Boy Records. The execs at Penalty didn't know how to market a hip hop group...

I feel generous tonight! I made a thread on Okayplayer containing nothing but classic, out of print, rare and unreleased hip hop and R&B CD's. If the link doesn't work. Hurry up and visit the thread in The Lesson section of Okayplayer.com. One. http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?...d=915699&page=

I've BEEN a Clipse fan since 1999! I was a fan of The Clipse back when they were known as Terrar and Malice and not The Clipse. They had a single and video called "The Funeral" that to this day is one of my all time favorites. Lyrically and musically there's NO WAY you can front on them...Rick...

How do people on this board (and overall in different sections of the UK) feel about Lily Allen and her material/album? Do they like her? Resent her? Think she's a poseur? Can/Can't sing...Flavor Of The Month/Year or Best Thing Since The Invention Of The Coal Oven? I want as many different...

Naaah, man. I don't give a damn about the Young Dro or Rick Ross' of the world...I AM concerned that when QUALITY HIP HOP ARTISTS that happen to have major deals (such as The Clipse, Jay Z, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, The Roots, Method Man, etc.) come out release albums and they fail to move 100,000...

Oh man Hip Hop/rap album sales are in the toilet (Method Man, The Roots, OutKast, etc.) and here comes Lupe Fiasco, the Great Lyrical Hope...I pray he does well (given the heavy bootlegging that his project has gone through). His album is a damn classic already...besides if he moves around...

Yes and No... "Going Dumb" and "Getting Stupid/Retarded" makes perfect sense to me...I USED TO DO IT WHEN IT FIRST STARTED!!!! (1984-1989). The energy of the music is a breath of fresh air to me..."Tell Me When To Go" was a banger. "Vans" is crazy. "Super Hyphy" I like....THAT beat is...

Then... After the sampling, licenscing laws and clearance fees because too crazy, The Bomb Squad fell back and were reinvented into The Ministerz Of Funk f/Ali Dee and Cerwin "C-Dogg" Depper around 1991...after that The Bomb Squad were basically whored out by MCA Records and produced such...

Arrrgghhh!!!!! I have NEVER heard that beat before in my life...until now. I hope this rest of the mixtape was better than that one song because if that's a standout track I should stick to what I currently listen to. One.

It is.... Yeah, it is....he's naming the album that in response to those idiots claiming that "hip hop is dead" as well. YouSendIt, Stelfox...I don't listen to F.A.B.'s mixtapes, but I bet you I know the beat he used. One.
