Shout out to Currensy for dropping two albums in a few months.  Even though I’m not a fan, I can respect his independent hustle.  He is holding his own.  I guess I should probably give Nicki Minaj’s album a quick listen.  What do you think?  Until next time………

All three new albums that I listened too last week hit the charts moving numbers like newcomers.  It’s so weird to see people who have been in the game for a while not even sell 10,000 copies.  However, I guess if your anyone but Eminem, Jay-Z or Drake you are feeling the pressure.  Until next week…..

Center Edge Territory

I got an email from my guy Andres about a new SUPERGROUP that is emerging in hip hop and then read the confirmation on HipHopDx this morning.  Mos Def, Jay Electronica and Lil Wayne’s one-time protegee, Currensy The Hot Spitter have formed a group called Center Edge Territory.  Now, I don’t know if this is a cruel joke being played on Currensy or Mos Def and Jay Electronica REALLY formed a group but this is the most random shit I have ever heard.  Slaughterhouse seemed to make sense.  Even The Undergods with Canibus and Keith Murray made some sense but I am at a loss to why, how, what the F is happening with this group.  I know Currensy has been holding his own on the internet ever sense leaving Young Money but I never thought a group would be formed with Mos and Jay E.  Can anyone give me a possible reasoning.  Apparently they all met at Dame Dash’s studio or some shit and have recorded 6 songs towards an album.  I can’t even imagine what this shit is going to sound like.  I guess the only thing left to do is to tip my hat to Currensy for linking with some ill ass dude.  I will keep everyone updated with new information as we find out.  My next question is, are rappers REALLY suffering THAT bad where they have to form “supergroups” that make absolutely no sense? Where is Kweli????  Hip hop seems to be VERY confused about now.
