Sorry for being a couple days late on these new joints but my homie, SLOT-A, just dropped two new remixes for Add-2′s Dirty Ghetto Kids and a mash up of Biggie and Black Sheep “Gimme The Flavor.” SLOT-A has been making a lot of heat recently with Neak’s #illRaps series not to mention the work he has done for our album. Anyway, check out both remixes below.
Add-2 – Dirty Ghetto Kids (Slot-A Remix)
Biggie x Black Sheep “Gimme The Loot” (Slot-A Remix)
I may be a slacker but it’s never too late for some “classic” shit for Classic Shit Fridays. For this week’s installment, I took it back to the Junior Mafia’s album, Conspiracy. Now to me, this album isn’t exactly a classic but it does have some classic records on it. Of course Get Money and Player’s Anthem fit well into any hip hop deejay’s set and are guaranteed to set the party off. I personally like Backstabbers and Oh My Lord as well but nothing else on the album measures up to Get Money and Player’s Anthem. Biggie probably should have been featured on every song. Regardless check out the video for Player’s Anthem. I love this beat. DJ Clark Kent holler at me, let’s work. Happy Friday to everyone.
PS………I wish THIS Lil Kim was out right now and would go at Nicki Minaj. It might be a different story.
I figured since I’ve made it through 24 Gorilla Zoe mixtapes and finally caught up, I would take this Friday back to the classics. Yesterday I listened to both discs of Biggie’s Life After Death. As if I need to say anything about Biggie, he is STILL the man. Joints like Somebody’s Gotta Die, Kick In The Door, You’re Nobody, Ten Crack Commandments and many others have withstood over a decade of time and would still be classics if they dropped today. I’m not a big fan of Puff’s adlibs and some of his touches on the album but Biggie keeps it fresh regardless of what song he is on. It’s always refreshing for me to go back and listen to albums like this at different times periods in my life because I pick up new stuff every time and find myself enjoying it so much more than I remembered. It’s still a shame that Biggie and Pac didn’t get to have a full run with their careers but maybe their music and their lives wouldn’t have held as much weight. So, Happy Friday to everyone. Enjoy some classic shit from one of hip hop’s icons. RIP Biggie.
Is Diddy really wearing a bandana????
First of all, Diddy formed a new group with himself and some of the Making The Band broads called Dirty Money. I think we all know that Diddy hasn’t ever seen dirty money and if he has it was Biggie, Shyne or The Lox’s. Second of all, I thought Jay-Z deaded autotune? Well, how come his best bud is jacking his beat AND using autotune AND puts Biggie’s verse on his single twice?????? Now if anyone else doesn’t see what is wrong with the state of things, then ya’ll are in straight denial. Diddy is dropping his album, Last Train To Paris, sometime in the next year but I can only hope that it gets shelfed indefinitely. The problem is, Diddy has so much money and is such greedy bastard that he has to contaminate the already toxic airwaves of the internet, radio and TV with MORE bullshit. And just because he is Diddy, we are forced to see it. What is even worse is cats like Jay who claim to love this thing we call hip hop, let that shit slide. Why won’t someone check Diddy’s ass? Maybe because Diddy doesn’t “write rhymes, he writes checks.” This is a gosh darn shame if you ask me. I am sure everyone has seen Diddy’s new single Angels featuring Biggie and Dirty Money but in case you refuse to watch it, here is another opportunity to act like it doesn’t exist. I was at a beat battle recently and the manager of A and R’s for Diddy was one of the judges and apparently he was looking for production for Last Train To Paris. He said it was real pop sounding so I am a little curious why Angels came out jacking Jay-Z’s Where I’m From. He’s not even going hard on it, he is SINGING. I want to thank Kanye and Lil Wayne for this one. T-Pain is right, let him have his shit because this is what happens when “the best rappers alive” get a hold of autotune. Also, can it be called a feature if the person being featured is already dead? Like clearly Biggie is unaware of this song and if somehow he hears it all the way up in heaven, he would probably stab Puffy with an icepick. Let the man be Diddy PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! And for the last time, STOP making music and forming new groups. NO ONE CARES!!!!!!!!!! Check Diddy’s version of “cough up a lung where I’m from Marcy son” if you can stomach it.
